I have been back at KL for more than 2 weeks but I still can't get over how amazing and fun my trip was. Currently facing a major post UK-PARIS trip depression. Huhuhu. :( (feeling emotional to even blog about this hehe kidding!) This is my first time ever stepping into Europe!! University life has been pretty stressful and the only reason that kept me enlivened was this trip! One of the things on my bucket list is finally done.
Since I started being into film photography (thanks to my lovely K) , I was looking forward even more to this trip so I can use both of my film cameras, Yashica Electro 35 & the Olympus Mju III. This was by first time ever using my Yashica Electro 35!! I always believe in not being TOO excited or something because something bad will come in the way.... and I was right. On the first day when I arrived at Paris, I rolled the film wrongly and I couldn't use the Yashica Electro 35 anymore. Managed to finish up the first roll thats it. I WAS SO UPSET OKAY UGH BUT WHATEVER LIFE GOES ON. So I only got to use my Olympus Mju III and the DSLR I have always been using, Canon 600D.
Hence, in this blogpost I won't be sharing just about my experience and trip there, I will be sharing with you my photos from the film camera and also the DSLR! Hope you enjoy reading it! :)

LONDON PART (1)
Day 1
The adventure beginssssss! After more than 13 hour of torturous ride in the plane due to my serious motion dizziness, we have finally touched down at London's Heathrow airport. It felt so unreal at first because I am finally breathing the air in London!! Dad's friend welcomed us from the airport and we head to our hotel straight using the tube.
After unpacking our luggage and refreshing ourselves, we went to have tea nearby our hotel. I really really wanted to try the Burger & Lobsters in the UK and I finally gotten the chance to!! It was just walking distance from our hotel as well. LUCKY US!!
The Burger and Lobster was soooooooooo goooooooooooood! One of the best lobsters I've ever eaten in my life. The price is reasonable as well. Its really worth it!
After dinner, we took a cab to Harrods. The whole street was just....... exquisite.

We walked around the mall for a while then decided to head over to the London Eye and Big Ben!! (which are both next to each other actually) The scenery was really beautiful. Managed to take a few nice shots using my DSLR! After that, we headed back to our hotel and called it a night. I fell asleep right away... was so exhausted.
DAY 2
After breakfast, we went for a walk at Green Park. Green park is the smallest of the capital's eight Royal Parks. The park is really clean and there are many people chilling with their families and loved ones too. Its a really beautiful park.
After walking around the park and chilling for a bit, we went back to our hotel.
Its SHOPPING TIME with mummy! We head over to New Bond Street first! Ok so yeah we spent our time there for so many hours........ and that isn't the biggest shopping street yet!
I think mummy and I spent almost like 2 hours in Victoria Secret hahahah. The Victoria Secret in London is huge and has variety of stuffs! If you're a Victoria Secret lover, its a place you MUST go! :) Another shop that caught my attention was Anya Hindmarch. The Anya Hindmarch in London is really special! You can buy their bags, purse, notebook and engrave any words that you like on it! They have a specialist to engrave it. You can pick your own handwriting to be engraved on the leather as well! It's really really cute and fascinating as they don't have this in the Anya Hindmarch at KL.
After having a simple lunch, daddy met up with us and we went to Oxford circus.
