Tracy's wedding~

It is such an important day (of cause in their life but also...) in my life~ one of my best friend's wedding today ^^ (and the first lesbian wedding I've been). And I am the photographer of wedding lerh :) (okay.. one of the photographers)... 29/6... one of the fuckin working day, I called a sick leave in the moring, saying I had food poison :P a planned sick leave... haha... I think I would feel really guilty if it was few months ago, when everything still haven't happened... anyway...

At 9:00, I went to swim in the morning as usual. Prepared a bit and then head to Cathine's flat in Soho straight... haha... the first time, and probably the last time in my life I can get into the "lady side" flat before the groom came to pick up. :) the wedding dress and all the gals' dresses are super nice... they all made by themselves!!! How good it is to see so many fashion designers in a wedding ^_^ Tracy, you have gain a little bit weight but you are so pretty as usual~~ I love you Tracy~~ (In case people mix up a bit the Tracy in HK. Wedding Tracy is my ex-flatmate, but both are my best best friend ^_^)

yea and they went through all the process which a hknese wedding normally would go through~ um... maybe what exactly happen is not so important here :P skip~~ haha but what funny is the register office they went to was the same one me and Jenni went before in Baker's Street...

The first time I'd been in Regents Park! haha there are so many beautiful parks around london... just me haven't spend time to visit them... I should love London more! We then went to the room they booked in Gouman Hotel, which is a very nice designer hotel (the lobby is super nice! but the room is very very common.) And we had dinner there!~~ The food are very nice and surely well presented~

I met a gal who I always see her photos from Tracy's room :), a crazy TWnese gal with skin head... I couldn't really recognise her at the beginning (high heel~ long hair~ pretty dress~ can't imagine thats the same person !!! :P)... I also met someone called Wil that day~ a very talkative smarty HKnese guy haha... his voice is very nice well... he has a very cute girlfriend... I really like that couple~ hope to see them when i get back to HK~~ ^_^ And another couple from Singapore~ they came here for the wedding!!! such a good friend for them :)

I found something very important in life from this wedding~ I think the wedding is kinda an indication. It kinda proves how good you treat other people in general and who are your best best friends~ It was a really touching moment, When I see everyone they may not know each other but trying to work out something for these 2 special person... haha suddenly want to have a wedding for myself :P but no one gonna marry me now :(~~ haha

Love~

Suddenly thought about love the other day and read that from my friend's blog.

Yea Stef~~

Can't wait to see you around London ^_^ or.... in Paris~

London-Edinburgh-Aberdeen-Dublin-London-Portsmouth

Since mama came to London, the weather here is just soooooo nice. haha everytime the same~ It probably gave a wrong message to mama. England's weather is not like this ga~~ ^_^ Anyway, I love staying in England (or I should say in Europe) during summer~

Such a relaxing afternoon~

Pre-trip
Before we went for travel, me and mama went to see the Avenue Q haha it was cool haha much much better then just listen to the album!!! Love their performance haha, so funny!! At night we went to a super nice seafood restaurant in Soho!!! love it!!! :D don't know who will be the one eating there with me :P?

Sweet & sour
It was a great trip in general, except the Aberdeen part. We went to loads of galleries in this trip. I think I start understanding why to go galleries, it's something you can't tell other people the reason. Mama have requested for chinese food everyday -_- also annoyed me. haha.... I mean I like chinese food as well but... whats the point to go there far to buy 3 pineapple bun for a pound? mama claimed that the chinese take away we had in Aberdeen was better than those restaurants we had in Edingburgh T___T... On the other hand, haven't got too much chance to take nice photos is another disappointed things in this trip. Whatsoever, I love the trip!!~~ haha why? ^_^ doun know lerh~~ holiday is always nice maybe~~

Edinburgh

From airport to city centre only 20 mins bus! haha good good~ Edinburgh is still a nice city, although the feeling was not as fantastic as the first time I've been there~ went to some galleries which I haven't been last time haha~ :D small local one, the national one... they are all quite nice! They have a public art campaign called "Cow Parade". Allowing different artist or organisation to play around with the cow, creating a symbol of Edinburgh and they put the cows next to attraction points in the city. It is such a fab idea which not only exhibite their art and culture but also introduce some less famous attraction points to the touris. At night, we went to a mussel restaurant for dinner but their mussel wasn't that great~ or maybe because we had the super nice seafood in London~ the reference point was set too high :P

however there was something really frustrated. My touris guide book which I put some of my polaroid photos inside was lost... T_T so so so upset... those first photos taken by my SX-70 T___T all gone~~ And struggled with the unclear free maps from the touris centre. T_T

Haha... such a funny chinese guy~~ hey neei hao! ^_^

Such a different on the same pic with different camera~~ lomo I love you ^_^ sony~~ thanks for serving me so long :P

Yea~ Kick Ass!!~~

a lot of close like this in Edingburgh~~ very special and very nice ^_^

haha... so sweet~~

Colour of flowers are so nice there!

Aou~~ ^_^

portabello in Edingburgh is a beach lerh~

the train to Aberdeen delayed for an hour T__T

Aberdeen
The bad luck just sticked with me from the Edingburgh station to Aberdeen. Honestly, Aberdeen is such a boring place... basically why I came here only because of her name... haha.. um... Aberdeen in HK is quite a nice place to go... :P Anyway.... we go on the 1.5 hour delayed train arrvied there at 6 sth. And the shitty B&B owner said the room was already rented out since we were arriving late -_-... and asked us to check in another room which is £10 more expensive. The room was damn old... and obviously not well decorated... :(. And then the next day morning, we went to the room for breadfast but they told me the breadfast time was finished -_- and they didn't tell us the time at all!! Damn... and the owner couple were fucking rude all the time T_T.... damn...

Aberdeen is not totally useless though~~ At least we have had 2 days pretty relax to prepare for the coming busy visit (Kinn: HAHAHA it's all in my plan. Tracy: um? is it?). And also we have passed through a lot of nice towns on the train... haha.. maybe they will be the place to go next time... the best one I remember was Dundee~~ haha gorgouse, see you next time :P And surprisingly, the photos from Aberdeen are quite nice :) haha

It was super nice look outside of the train~~ which let me expected too much on Aberdeen :P~

They have some nice buildings frankly.

The Maritime meseum is not bad as well...

Yea~ almost forgot this place... At the beginning we were looking for a castle around that area but we just lost and couldn't get there finally. But it was good to have a nice walk around ^_^ and took the best photos in Scotland~~

Edinburgh again
Yea~ we went back to Endingburgh for a day before going to Dublin... :D and the fantastic second half started.. Friend of mine, Alan, from Glasglow was such nice a nice guy, walked around Edingburgh with us. We went to the Calton Hill, which I thought was nothing good there... We Could see the whole city from the top of the hill :):) We went to a Thai restaurant for dinner that was quite good... But same as most Thai food in the UK, they are a bit too sweet..~~ he adviced me some night clubs and bar to go but we had to leave the B&B at 6 in the morning... didn't go anywhere after went back to B&B with mama...

Cont'

Dubline
It's a bit embarrassing, but I didn't know that Ireland is not part of UK until I arrived the airport. They checked my passport!!! and gave me a stamp!!!! Before the trip, I was thinking not to bring the passport with me, thinking thats just a inside country travel... I brought that only because I had to apply for the YOUNG person rail card when we went to the airport -_- haha.... the YOUNG person card saved me ^_^!!! (love this photo)!!

Generally I do love Dublin... (Actually when I think it through.... Nearly everything in London is better than Dublin.. Dont know why, but I just like Dublin very much... maybe just a new place ve been visited. Just like when you meet a new friend, u haven't notice his bad side yet and you would have a lot of things to discover. U would probably think he is better than the one you are being with... um....) However, its first impression to me wasn't too good. We went to a sheet market once we arrived which the travel guide recommened... That was Chinese restaurants(very old fashion and quite dirty) Chinese supermarkets... it was just amazingly similar to china. If there was not so many white people blond hair passed through, you would feel you are on the street in Sheng Zheng (not even BJ or SH).

We went to a Chinese resaturant (should call it cantin) as mama requested. The food was okay... and the price are similar as well (but in Euro).

Besides that, everything are perfect. Their buildings are pretty much the same as those in England... I do love their mordern art museums and galleries!! I also love their Guinness Storehouse!! it just fantastic... the whole experience was great, although it was just a stupid beer making process... haha but they make me start loving Guinness. And I do love their ad.!!! :D yeah.. Temple Bar area was very nice~~ :D they have nice free magazines :D the people's acent there are so funny haha...~~ wooo... lovely weather!!! etc etc.... love there anyway~~

wah 牛柏葉(cow stomage) ar!!!

Dublin City

Went out at night by myself :) didn't go to bar or club but walk around the temple bar area~~ happy happy~~

Howth is nice!

Guinness Storehouse is such a well designed attraction point!! It worth EU$14 to get in honestly...

Modern art museum~~

Hey babe, you are famous in Dublin ^_^

Dublin?

yup... another thing I wanna say is, from Gatwick to my home is super quick!!! less then an hour by train :D:D:D

Back to London, we went to Bernard's Exhibition ^_^ it seems that the photos I have taken for him wasn't that good... :P sorry Bernard... it's all in a rush T_T

Portsmouth
The other weekend I went to Portsmouth with mama ^_^ shops a bit.. but found that they have quite a few interesting things around there..~~~ you must love there if you love ships, yea~~
