i made it to portobello

yippee!! i finally made it to the world's famous portobello market!!!!

we had to take a bus from gloucester road underground station because of upgrading work to the line. a lot of upgrading work is done with the tube in the weekends in preparation for the olympics so if you are in london, you better check the train station noticeboards. fortunately, they have also placed assistants everywhere in the station whom you can ask for alternative routes. bless these helpers.

so it was on the saturday of 4 june that we made it to portobello. the rest just followed my lead as i insisted on going to this market. i am not sure whether they know anything about this market or not.

some people go to portobello because it was where the movie 'notting hill' was filmed. i went there because i was curious about the market and i wanted to feel the ambience and see for myself what made it so famous. i was not disappointed. my only regret was the short time spent there. gosh, i wished i was there earlier! blame that property agent for coming late to hand us the key.


belgian waffle. ok it was my first time actually tasting one. my question is, is it supposed to be hard or soft? if it is hard, then i don't like it and i dunno why so many ppl like them.



food is everywhere you go here!!! you are definitely spoilt for choice!!!! go with an empty stomach and you won't regret it. you will regret if you don't buy something that you see a lot of ppl going for when u are there. most of them are good. had this frosted red velvet cupcake from hummingbird. i think it is an american brand. delish!!!


if you are into all things floral, this is the shop to go to: cath kidston. click on the link and you can see the range of things they have. i love them all, but i dun really need any of them haha. i was only interested in looking for a nice foldable umbrella, but unfortunately they dun have one. they only have those big ones.
if you want to buy cheaper cath kidston stuff, go to bicester village factory outlet where they have a store there. the prices there are really cheap. then you can shop till you drop. i don't think they have seasonal goods and the prints will stand the test of time.


seafood wrap!!!! oh so-good!!!!

cheap fruits nearing closing time which is around 5 to 6p.m.

instant mi goreng from asian food section at tesco.

it was a sunny day. yeah! so with some beer and street performers, tourists and londoners could bask in the sun and enjoy their saturday.

oh how i wish for these carefree days.

sports day is this thursday and that means rehearsals and preparations these 3 days. have a good week.
