Faith

is believing what you don't see. Hmm, not so easy...

I'm back! Yay! Except that once I got back I somehow went into some state of depression for no reason! D:

Aaaand people are now doing SMP experiments. Looks like not everyone gets to go to the GEP one and happen to choose what is likely to be the most slack project for SMP that exists.

Ahh, many days in Europe, but only one was the best:

Day 2 (London)

Wake up, meet in room with rest of family for breakfast (Da-baoed burker king). Nice and light, before buying full-day tube tickets and getting to Waterloo station, apparently where some Bourne Identity scene was filmed. Then London Eye! (Didn't go on it) Walked past, before seeing Big Ben! (can't go in it) Big Ben was nice. Really. Then Westminster Abbey! (didn't go in) Then off through St. James Park towards Buckingham Palace for change of guards. And we saw the guard coming in! Then they disappeared! Then afetr some peeking and squeezing and peeking, my mum bought ice-cream cos we were waiting for my cousin to breast feed my niece.

Then we went to the street called Bond Street! Heh, sadly we didn't see any Bonds there, only high class shops. Which we looked at on the way to lunch! My cousin researched a lot of restaurants and managed to find a 2 star michelin restaurant, which was a lot cheaper at lunch. The food was so good, i liked what I normally don't eat!

While some people went back to hotel to rest, the rest (heh) of us took the train to the Tower of London. Never knew it existed, but its like 1000 years old and cool and stuffs (didn't go in). Right next to the tower bridge! Sadly it doesn't go up and down anymore. It had an exhibition where you take a lift up and walk on a walkway on top (didn't go in). Then, off to Oxford Street where we bought water and did like 20 min of shopping (My aunties were that desperate) before rushing off on a train to Victoria station.

Where there Was a Wonderful Worksite Which had Wicked next to it. Hmm, my family was still half-jet lagged and tired and stuff, so we rushed in, like only me and my 2 cousins didn't sleep, yeah. Wanted to get a souvenir, but they all rushed off so fast. Didn't get to see the decorations and stuff too well either. Ah well, took a train to Leicester Square (apparently they have a lot of celebrity stuff there) and went to some Chinatown Chinese restaurant for Supper/Dinner. Yep, if you're reading this now, you probably skipped a few paragraphs on top. Anyway, I was staying around the middle of the London map, but apparently the middle is already the West End.

One street away there was Hairspray, on the same blockish was We Will Rock You, next to Wicked was Billy Elliot, Priscilla the Queen of the Desert was on the way to Chinatown, where there's a street nearby with Les Miserables and Avenue Q somewhat joint together, and I remember seeing Blood Brothers somewhere nearby. The tube stations were extremely full of adverts, all for musicals. Hmm.

If I ever want to study in London, I'll need a scholarship... Hmm for now I can only hope.

What was I doing? Oh yes, simplex method of linear programming. Better not slack here for too long.
