Entry: The Birthday Saturday, May 31, 2008



Was spent in Londonia, drenched, thanks to the long-lived drizzle, wandering about Covent Garden with a cone of gelato in hand

It was also spent at the BFF's place where his mother very kindly made me a chocolate cheesecake and held a little 'party' of sorts for me.

Then there was the dinner at Ten Ten Tei which IMHO is the best Japanese restaurant I've ever been to so far. Ever.

I received a present as well, which was a new saddle for the bike. "Relieves pressure on sensitive arteries on the perineum area" so the sales pitch went. It shall be tried out later in the morning when I head to work on the bike.

And then it was gone.

I don't feel any different than I was the day before the 29th. As a matter of fact, aside from being invincibly happy on the birthday, the day was boringly normal and mundane. I took Po Leen's advice and got out of the house. London in the rain has a rare beauty to it, watching people scurry about with waterproofs and umbrellas against a backdrop of splashy grey, white and black.

Wish I had a camera.

It's 2:22 AM and I thought I'd kill some time here since I'm helplessly wide awake. Which is abit of a shame as I have 8 hours of work to look forward to later, not including the 10 mile round trip by bike. Oh sleep how I wish for thee...

*sniffles*

At least there's another round of celebrations with Le Tre Sama when she gets back to look forward to.

perhaps i should consider writing a travel kind of guide book under a female pseudonym, just to be random =D

"Alexis's guide to being cheapskate in london while enjoying the sights"
