Not too bad but tasted a little different because the soy sauce sold here taste weird???

Doritos! (Or Nachos); 10 packets for £1.

This is goooooood. I think they are healthier than potato chips right?

£0.99 too.

£0.99 again.

Also £0.99.

All the £0.99 stuffs are from the 99 Pence Store.

This may not look appetizing but very yummy one k!

Mashed potatoes & eggs (by HuiBin) and ham sandwich for breakfast.

Superbly healthy.

Chicken sausage and baby corn fried rice with iceberg lettuce & scrambled eggs.

Lastly, my ham and cheese double sandwich and apple juice for lunch.

SO HEALTHY I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE MYSELF.


Going for a picnic in Norfolk Park tomorrow. I hope it won't rain tomorrow because it's been raining for four or five consecutive days already. T_T

Salisbury Town

UK: Wednesday (140710); 1900 hours.

I shall continue from the Stonehenge post.

We then headed to Salisbury Town, which was around 30 minutes away.

The first thing that made me smile.

Felt so happy looking at the ducks bathing.

And two ducks were playing and "chasing" each other in the river. Awww..

Something better was..

The Ugly Duckling. LOL.

I meant swan lah.

I think I've never seen any swans in my life before hahahaha. Unless I'd forgotten about it.

All of them also "oi leng"* I tell you.

*Want to look pretty.

SEE SO VAIN OMG!

After looking at all the ducks and swans, we headed to St. Mary's Cathedral.

Along the way:


These are the minor things that can make my day.


It's HUGE!

On the left side of the church, a major renovation project was going on. Started in 1986 and not due to complete until 2015.

*Jaws drop*

Need 29 years to complete???


The Walking Madonna.


Headed in.

Took this picture.

And then walked out.

Read this to know why.






Seriously?? Urm, I've never paid money to enter a church before leh. It was around £4 or £5 and needless to say, I didn't enter.

No need to pay to enter the gift shop though. -_-



Nevertheless, I enjoyed the scenery and also the trip a lot.

Even though I had to spend a total of NINE hours sitting in the bus and torturing my butt.

More Shopping??

UK: Tuesday (130710); 1555 hours.

I wanted to update on Salisbury Town first but since Juney is so excited to see all my barang-barang, I will blog about my first trip to Meadowhall. :D

It was just two days back, Sunday and opening hours were 11am-5pm. Maple being the crazy one doubted to go on a Sunday because its opening hours were relatively shorter compared to weekdays and also Saturdays. But I can tell you, six hours of walking is not an easy task.

Outside the train station.

Lovely sight, isn't it?

The more I look at it, the more I think it looks like an image on a postcard.

Train tickets - to and fro for £2.20.

Inside the train.

It's like KTM back in Malaysia but more comfortable, clean and without the "smell".
*Ahem*

And most importantly, it's punctual.
*Ahem ahem*

£2 each muahahaha.

Somebody tell me, how much is this back in Malaysia?

I LOVE PRIMARK!

Small cute bag for £4!

My new skinnies and jeggings for £8 and £6 respectively.

How often can you find RM40 skinnies back home?

Top for £4.

£1 only!

But it's being a b**** because my feet hurts very badly now. :'(

I love the one on the right! Transparent Converse shoes eh!

SO COOL~

£19.99 but didn't get them. Should I should I?

From M&S.

£2 each.

Lotion for £1.

That's all for the day. Total damage done to my pockets - £35.69 including lunch.

*Ting ting ting ting* Time to save!!!

Stonehenge

UK: Monday (120710); 1155 hours.

I visited Stonehenge on Saturday. It is one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World, just so you know. :)

On the way.

The journey took FOUR hours.

Weather was good!


I'd expected Stonehenge to be much bigger, thus the teeny weeny disappointment I had.


Still, I couldn't help but wonder in awe how this prehistoric earthwork was built. It's still a mystery.


Stonehenge was not in its original form, due to:
i) some stones had fallen off,
ii) some stones had been removed, and also
iii) some stones had been re-straightened in its positions.

What you see in the pictures, is only about half of what's built.


Another angle of Stonehenge.



Epic fail - I can't even see my own face.


A last look before leaving.


I can now tell people that I've been to one of the Wonders of the World. :)
