peterborough ( pronounced pe-ter-brah with a low key 'a' ). That took us 45 minutes from Kings Cross Train Station in london to reach there. Why were we going there? we were going to oundle.

in case you haven't known yet, oundle is erwan's school here in UK. We were there to explore, but the main agenda was to help erwan and farhan sent some things back to school early, so that they didn't have tonnes load of stuff to carry when going back to school on the end of winter break.

But before leaving, we had to get ready.

izzah getting ready by taking a picture of her reflection on the lift's mirrors to see how her jacket looked like haha
a one-minute attempt at a dave-hill effect. Ian's btw the name.

this is totally out of place, but nevermind that. the picture is outsidepaddington station, at the end near Lolita's ( food place).

So when we got to oundle, we went straight for erwan's house, which was Bramston House. There we got ourself cracking and got the bags up to erwan's room, which was on the highest of floors ( well,not exactly but blahh) and we took advantage of the balcony outside







So after bramston, we headed out looking around the place a.k.a oundle school. The school, as erwan said is basically the town here. The school buildings are scattered all around town, with some quite a distance away from each other. We stopped by the chapel compound to pass thorugh the area, and we stumbled upon this tree, which was a good place for shots, so we went on with the usual procedure : you pose, i shoot.





After a few hours in oundle, after having some fish and chips *nyum*, we headed back to peterborough for some shopping before going back to london. I didn't get much in peterbourgh, just a pair of badminton shoe and hearing to one very dirty remark from farhan haha (hint : toothbrush.) cian c opah masih blank xP

After the train ride back, opah said something about platfrom 9 and 3/4, which i know all harry potter buffs will definitely know. i don't, so eksen sakai ahah ndawh. Unfortunately, kami nda scars mark rh dahi, since black marker ran out of ink sma all the walls smooth, so inda dpt inflict scar, bump sja. that's why our trolley halfway sja.









4th January. the new year had begun 4 days ago with us at the embankment witnessing the fireworks display at the london eye. It's now 4 days before someone special celebrates here birthday. Since we weren't able to celebrate on the day itself, a plan was hatched to put make up for it.


As usual, our plans are always last minute. Like deciding to go to a movie half an hour before it starts, with a bus ride going there taking half an hour. It's always a thrill to be in such chaos, so this was in a way no different.

Tha plan was to suprise with something during the karaoke session in bayswater. The plan amost crumbled to pieces when the target didn't wanna come. So with a decent 'menyamal' tone, i persuaded her to come. Mission saved.


Me, izzah and erwan was getting the stuff here and there, and once we got there, i had to get into my part and prepared the cake. It's a good thing i've done this before with the bar, and since the lady know me, no questions was asked.

Izzah brought her away to distract her and gave us time to prepare. once ready, it was time.



in case you're wondering, those are m&m's on top of the cake. it was an improv ahah


the suprise continued to b-hall, on her request ahaha mau2





It has come to end of my winter holidays. 3+ weeks in london has certainly been full of events, and pictures help keep the memories alive for times to come. Thats not the only thing i go from london. As shown by the next few pictures, i've spent on a few things as well which my have been overboard, but actually isn't (?).



these are the shoes that i've bought while in london, which included a Nike, an Etnies ( the cotton candy one), a Supremebeing plimsoils and two from Clarks *hint*. Imagine me having to bring tall of that back aling with two tripods, studio umbrella, a lot of fully-loaded files and textbooks, other shopping gains and clothing. This is why i have two very large luggages to bring back. I've brought only one back so far, i'll pick up the other one soon.

As you can see, the snow has fallen in cheltenham, covering the astro turfs in a blanket of snow, and the sky was clear blue at that time. Wished it lasted longer. Temperature went down to around -9 degrees at one points. picture was only cropped, nothing else. Used a 17-85mm with a CPL for it.

Today's weather is warm, a beautiful sunny day with the white clouds all like cotton candy. Today's like spring i guess.
