on the 8th till the 10th of august, i made a trip to leeds,west yorkshire, to visit my best friend.. well since he got a girlfriend we hardly spent any time together, and since we are both in the UK, so i thought that i will just drop by and give him a visit.. first thing, i must say that i m impressed with leeds, well comparing it to reading =='

reading is like so small.. guess it's cause we are more like a town where as leeds is more city like.. totally not suitable for those who like to shop haha.. but i guess after a while it will wear out.. there were a lot of branded shops there , like louis vitton etc.. dunno how to spell. hahah i don't know about all this branded stuff.. they were taught to me by des and mel :p

anywya.. so i stayed with him in his house and met his other housemates, they are all really ncie people even his housemate's girlfriend... well i had fun..

i had to wake up early and head to king's cross station to catch a 3 hour train to leeds... was reading neil gaiman's smoke and mirrors... ermmm.. not my cup of tea is all i will say... maybe cause it was all short stories kind i guess... =='

anyway, arrived, dropped my luggage at his place, and out for lunch and a movie, went to watch simpsons... really stupid show la.. haha at times i felt so annoyed with teh stupidity but the pig was cute haha :p


nice little walk, like london only... the part where des brought me and mel... (haha yes des brings us shopping.. he brought me to ms selfridge haha :p )

yesh i am in the city of leeds.... :p

sin and i cooked dinner.. simple stuff la, and i boiled chicken soup, which sin calls ABC soup.. well guess it is called that haha... and well seen here in the picture with his housemate vincent aka kok hong.. haha yes... dad... i know ;p this is the second friend i have who is called kok hong haha :p dad your name to common laio haha :p

the next day we headed to york, and visited the tranport musuem there.. it was trains and more trains... was nice and quiant.. but errmm sorry... if i didn't look that intersted ;p

on the shinkansen.. well it's a model of it haha

waiting for my train.. where isit??? haha :p


the york minster.. didn't go in though... expensive la... ==

errrr.. cant remember what it is called...
a ruin in the middle of the city haha well this was still in york.. after that we went back to leeds, and got ready to go out clubbing... well we had a bar dinner, and we called gene on the phone and talked and laughed.. must be the alcohol.. i swear that sin is trying to kill my liver haha.. i had vodka and lemonade.. ehhe yum.. and well after dinner we rested for a bit then went clubbing... with sin's other housemate, shawn and his girlfriend teng..

woah the club in leeds is so much bigger compared to reading, and looks more posh as well..the drinks were also way cheaper than reading.. but well they do say the further you are from the london the cheaper it is, leeds is 3 hours away while reading is 35 minutes away from london.. go figure... ;p

well that idiot of a friend really gave me a lot to drink that night.. i had vodka and lemonade.. very low precentage... 4% only.. followed by.. errra shot of something that tasted like chocolate, but from the taste of it, it was about 40% i think.. then i had a beer, and well there was no effect, so sin bought me a jack daniels (JD) shot mixed with a shot of vodka, and after that anotehr shot of JD, and 2 shots of baileys, one after another.. i know..some of you who know my limit.. must be going oh my god!!! hahah.. but that was how it was... ==' so we left the club early bout almost 2am and went home to sleep haha :p


nice sun set ya?? haha.. outside sin's house... this was coming back from york.. :p

next day we woke up late in the mornig and headed of for a chinese buffet with his friends :p
oh my god man.. that sin ate nothing but siu mai oni.. gila... == my last day here in leeds, so vincent was joking saying that it was my farewell?? 0_o ahhaha...

after the buffet, vincent brought me around leeds to see some things and take some pictures.. he's a better tour guide than sin la haha
