Sad title but yea, May dearie is flying back to SG this Friday and so this post sums up her trip here and time spent with us. And she's going back to prepare for her wedding...! So happy for her but yet gonna miss her...

Thursday we met after work and went to watch Wicked at the Apollo Victoria Theatre. The story is actually the prequel to The Wizard of Oz. Not bad but still, I prefer Les Mis more. Overall Wicked is on a lighter note and there are some funny parts whereas Les Mis is very heavy in content if you get what I mean.
Saturday Cynthia went Dublin with her friend (drank lots of Guiness Stout, that girl haha) whereas I went to Bicester Village with May for shopping! Bicester Village is a factory outlet, one of the biggest over here which has like 90+ shops, cannot cover in one day. We took the train to Bicester North, one hour away from London and then took a shuttle bus to the village. Woohoo~ we nearly went crazy. So sad, I spotted a Dior bag which I like a lot and after lunch, we went back and it was sold out! I was in total shock. Lesson learnt. If you like, you have to grab and there isn't time to even think about it coz we were told that each design comes in one or two pieces max. whoaaa…

And no we didn't take any pictures that day coz we were very focussed. =p
Sunday morning, chilled at home.. did housework keke.. vacuum the house (my gosh dunno why so dusty), called home, talked to my dear ah ma and then went out to Oxford Circus for a short shopping *hee yes mini shopping lah* with May before we went for the 5pm church service. Man, it's tough with a church located right in the middle of the shopping street at Tottenham Court Road. I did a search online on Oxford Street and it prides itself to be the busiest street in Europe and get this, the shopping stretches 1.5 miles! That's like more than 2km of shops?!
*bel is in bliss* You can check it out too-

After church we came home to do a mini Italian cookout! :) I cooked Prawn Aglio Olio (or whatever they call it..) olive oil based spaghetti with lotsa garlic and lotsa prawns.. not bad for a first attempt! While May made Sangria (red wine with some juice and fruits.. niceee!) Completed the meal with lemon cheesecake from Tesco's (our NTUC equiv hehe). Yummyyy

Realised I met May three days in a row... coz last night (
Monday) we met after work together with Cynthia to have a farewell dinner with her at the famous Four Seasons Chinese restaurant.. I tell ya the roast duck here is the best! Even better than SG I feel.. whoa.. if you come find me I will bring you there. But must be prepared for the long wait even though you made a reservation. Business is just toooo good.

On a lighter note, two pics I took outside our apartment, purple flowers in bloom, really pretty and see, even the ducks love it! I snapped a pic of them when I was going to work. They were sleeping just beside the water fountains! So cute :)
