MIAed again

i know i am sorry about that. had been busy with my September break. i was busy planning for my mom's visit and executing the plan when she was here. it was a super busy and tiring week. had been walking from morning till night, going through almost all the 'must go' places in London except Galleries and Museums which i am sure will bore her to pieces. lol

Day 1:
the day that mom (together with my Godma and Aunt D) arrived was rather hectic actually. i was busy preparing since noon (baking cake and preparing dinner) thinking i have a lot of them since they will be arriving at St Pancras station at 8pm. to my horror mom sms at 5pm to say they had alighted the train and is waiting for me at the station!!! and how 'lucky', the weather did not do me any favor as it was pouring at that time. Even tho the bad weather, my sweet flatmate E accompanied me to pick them up and helped with their luggage :) we were fortunate that the rain stopped when we arrived the station near my house. After this sudden hiccup, the night went well...

as mentioned, i had prepared dinner (Italian Chicken Soup adapted from The Pioneer Woman) for the 'guests' to welcome them to London.

Having dinner together with Mum, Aunt D, Godma, Flatmate E and Flatmate N.

A day before dearest Flatmate E and I made some cookies to welcome them :)

The night ended with a full belly, hence the cake was kept to the next day...

Day 2:

Mom had a good night sleep and we had a slice of the lemon curd cake for breakfast with coffee...

hehe i know the cake looks super unprofessional =x but it's tasty ok... :p

the plan for the day is SHOPPING!!!! we spent 2hours or more just at Primark and the rate that we shop, we were stucked between Marble Arch and Bond Street!!! we walked the entire day and the sole of my feet  hurts so bad...the aunties are really pro at walking..i kowtow to them..Thank you mummy to pay for some of my shopping spree as well as Aunt D who bought the grey sweatshirt for me...keke

our final stop for the day was dinner at Taro. not as satisfying as expected but good enough :) Godma's veg bento looks really yummy. i shall order that the next time~ as usual, everyone was full to the max! burpp!

Day 3:

it was an entire day out of london trip to Windsor, Bath and Stonhenge. super nice! relaxing scenary and lovely weather :) you can say that the tour guide has a sense of humour however, he 'shoots' you indirectly with his jokes or pretends to say things jokingly but means every word that he said -.- i wouldnt deny that he has good knowledge and is good at explaining and telling us the story behind the places that we had been to.

nevermind him. here are some of the pretty pictures that i took during the trip. :)

and it ended with Indian Crusine for dinner..

 Day 4:
Happy Birthday Mummy!!!
 it was a day to Borough Market, Tower Bridge, Harrods (Laudree) and Embankment.

 Laudree: disappointed..not as good as expected.. :( might not patronise them again except that their Laudree tea is refreshingly nice :)

Day 5:
Buckingham palace, Charity Event, Four Seasons

it was a Summer week in the October (which is definitely sth weird) and mom was lucky to be here during that week (not in her opinion though). i would think it wont be nice to be out in the wind waiting for the soldiers to change shift. as hot as it is i am pretty sure i got a tann from the scotching sun shining brightly in the sky.

Next we went to the Charity Event was held to raise fund for kids who had lost their parents during the Tsunami and quake. it was an afternoon tea served by top chefs from top restaurants :) some petit fours were yummy, some were so so and of course there were some i wasnt too sure if i like them.

the afternoon tea was from 3pm-6pm. i was sure my mom and aunts were pretty bored. really appreciated that they had joined me and urged me to mingle with my friends and chefs. not minding that i didnt keep them company :)

and ending the day with dinner at Four Seasons as someone is craving for duck...

Day 6:
Portobello Market, Hyde Park, My Old Dutch

Day 7:
last minute shopping and time to say goodbye T.T

no photo for this day though but it was a nice visit from Mummy :) i get to sleep with her every night for the entire week ^.^V
