TTB: "I better update my blog"

Went to check out TTB's blog which i haven't done for some time since i am out of the country (still am)... and noticed that her latest blog title is "I better update my blog". HEE.. this prompt me to write a blog entry. Well... it is really nice to be back in London.. as a lot of my colleagues have tease me that i am actually "balik kampung" (back to hometown) when i come back to London. It is really strange to be back here which everything is so familiar yet i know i do not belong here.. not anymore.

Oh.. and i forgot that i have hay fever until we took a stroll at the Green Park and St James' park near Buckingham Palace (We were waiting for the changing of guards to start). This is such a familiar feeling (not a good one though).. but yet i have forgotten about it! Heh.. strange that i only have this when i am here in UK.. when i went to Japan i was ok. Hopefully on my next trip to Amsterdam i won't be having this problem. So i was forced to go all the way back to the hotel room to have anti-histamine before heading off to more sight seeing.

In case you are wondering.. i am not here for leisure! Came here to attend a conference and since we landed on Monday morning and the conference only starts on Tues, we had some time to walk around... do some shopping.. heh..

My hubby asked me to get him some books that he cannot find back home and hence on Monday i went all the way to Oxford street (stop by at Oxford station) and walked towards Bond Street as i know there is a book shop before reaching Bond Street station.. if i haven't mistaken it was Waterstone .. hmm.. or Borders? I can't remember.. and i won't know until i asked my hubby on Sat when i see him because THE SHOP IS NO LONGER THERE!!!!!!! As i walked approaching Bond street station... i actually stopped at this shop which was supposed to be 'my bookshop' but to my shock, it is a clothes shop!!!!!!!!!!!!! Uniclo (or something like that)!!!!
Humph.. so my effort to go all the way to my favourite hang out place was wasted!
But well.. yesterday i found out that just 2 mins from the conference hotel there is a Waterstone.. heh.. so still managed to get the books. NO PROBLEM-MO! ^_^
