Mixed Signals

Yesterday, FJ2 finally had their long-awaited class dinner, or what we called a graduation celebration. Our Math and IT teacher, Alp Aslan, came along too. We went to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Piccadilly Circus, for a yummy filling dinner. After that we went to a pub opposite St. Paul's Cathedral, Founders Arms. And then, Yusuke, Dolly and I went to meet Adale, Yukari and guys at a shisha cafe. After that, we went to Funky Buddha, a club near Green Park. Then we went to Adale's hotel room before heading back to residence. Guess what time we reached home? 7 am! I've never been out the whole entire night before. Plus it was fucking freezing!

Loads of pics! (Unfortunately, my camera's battery decided to die on me right after the the pub, so I have to get the clubbing photos from my other friends.)

But first, the pictures from my shopping trip with the girls on Monday!

Little Sophie and I at Canary Wharf, the business district in London. (I wanna work here one day!)
Me, Liwen, Annie and little Sophy at Canary Wharf at sunset.

FJ2 gals!
London Eye.
After that we saw this beautiful golden carousel as we walked along the River Thames to the pub. Never having been on one ever before, we decided to go for a round. It was truly beautiful. Not to mention romantic! All those movies u watch, people fall in love at the carousels. Sigh. Anyways, it did bring the kid out in me also. Haha! A couple pictures now.
Adil and his girlfriend Sulta.
Look at that pile of papers. They're actually music scores. The instrument that plays the plinky-plunky carousel music is really old!
The instrument that plays the music. (Everytime I hear the music it reminds me of clowns and balloons and cotton candy. Lol.)
Liwen, Shu Rong and Sophy outside the pub Founders Arms.
A very, very shaky photo of St. Paul's Cathedral from across the River Thames. (It's the only one of the place I've got. Hopefully I'll be able to get a better one.)
Yusuke and I. (Whoever (I forgot who) took this photo must have shaky hands.) (See my beret? Cute, right? Haha!)
Well, that's all the pictures there is for now. I'll post up more once I get them from my friends.
Went out for dinner just now with Hye Jung and met Chung and Sophy along the way. So we went to watch The Breakup, starring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn. Good movie, only the ending was kinda unexpected, but different from most of ur generic rom-coms with the same predictable plots. Had dinner at Kum Luang, a Thai restaurant. Not bad! But prices were a little on the steep side.
It's bloody late now, and I haven't finished packing.
It's hard to get u off my mind. It's even harder when there are mixed signals.
