Les Miserables

I have been passing through Piccadilly Circus many times and been wanting to watch this theatre play since then but there's no opportunity at all, but now. I bought my ticket from lastminute.com here and it's really cheaper but seats weren't guaranteed. I got mine in stalls although it was the cheapest when i booked it, yey!! PS I bought my Pricilla tickets here and it was in stall seats as well.
Cosette when shes's still young.
We were surrounded with teens, I thought the play is really educational. I remembered my Uni days when we have to make a reflection about what we've watched. feeling young. (kilig!). Hahah!
 I love these light changing colours ^^
 Anyways, the play is basically about the life of Jean who was imprisoned for stealing bread for her starving sister and family. Upon release, he did not escape his past and no one accept him for being an ex-convict. Few years later, he used the name Madeleine and became wealthy and owned a factory.  On the other hand, there was a lady name Fantine who have a daughter named Cosette. Fantine was fired from the factory because people discovered that she had a child out of wedlock and became a prostitute to pay for  for her daughter's 'care'. She was imprisoned for resisting for the attack of a wealthy man who's trying to harass her. Upon hearing her story, Valjean tried to help Fantine but shes's dying so she asked Valjean to look after her daughter. With her request, Valjean look for Cosette and took her from the family that forced her to work at young age. He treated her as his own and he stood like a father for her . . .
I've said too much, watch the play and it's worth it or simply read the book.
The Play started at 19:30 and finished at roughly 23:00. We headed straight to Friday's
for some drinks, and foods of course. 

I had large frozen strawberry margarita and sicilian kiss and these. I do not eat fresh celery stem before but I liked it in this platter.
Amazing night indeed with lovely people, nice play and good food.

Majestic Reunion

Friends from Wales came back to London after few months, people I was with during my first year in the UK. We stayed in our hide out in Islington, yes, we don't call it sleepover because we're not really sleeping. Hahah!!

A night isn't enough, we have a lot of catching up to do.
Next day, a shot from the CCTV. We love waving and making faces in the cameras. hahah! Anyways, PaVirg I really felt guilty about this. smooch! x
It's just the four of us who went out the next day since Inay and Adi were working. We went to places that we used to go to, it's been ages and the feelings were not the same if you go to the same place with other people. It's really fun and feels like a kid once again. We just laugh and chat all day.

First stop: King's Cross St. Pancras

Royal Crescent and Fashion Museum

The fashion museum was quite interactive, they can let us try corsets and crinoline, like what I'm wearing on the left. Hats and Victorian dresses for children on the right.

Hi darls! my last day in Bath Spa was amazing. I visited the fashion museum wherein they showed the evolution of British fashion from the Victorian times up to the present. I also went to the Royal Crescent, a very famous building in Bath because of its perfect crescent shape. Afterwards, I went to one of the most popular Bath resident's house and able to taste bun and tea, Jane Austen's style . When was the last time you visited a historic place honeys?

Roman Baths and Abbey Cathedral Tower




First of all, I want to greet everyone a Happy Valentines day! x
This was my second day in Bath Spa. I visited a lot of historical places. Had a full English breakfast in one of the cafes in Jolly (the oldest shopping store in Bath) and hop in again in Skyline tour bus for like nearly an hour to see the overview of Bath and some stories behind the place. After that, went straight to Sally Lunn cafe (the oldest house in the area) and tried its famous bun and tea. Next stop was in Roman baths (shows the way Romans live during those times) where this picture was taken. Also went up to the famous Abbey Cathedral Tower, climbed up like 200+ steps, and down of course. I really had an amazing Valentines day, how about you sweety? x

White February



There was no snow during Christmas time which was fine with me but I feel really sorry for the children who were patiently waiting for this season to come and enjoy being pulled through slay. I was in Wales during Christmas time but surely won’t enjoy the snow because of being ill.
Anyways, its February now and today is my first sighting of snow. Good thing I got no work today, I slept late last night and been peeping on my window to check if the snow is still falling. And yes, there was snow for the whole night, okay, I thought of going out last night and experience the snow fall into my skin but the lighting wasn’t be that good so I patiently wait until the morning.
I saw children playing and making a snowman with their parents, I realised that not everyone has experienced snow and thought how blessed I am and of course, I took advantage of it. I played in the snow and took some photos. And I got a question, have you tasted the snow?? Hihih! ^^
