yet another weekend

the weekend that has just gone wasn't quite as eventful as last week (to have worn sari for the first time) but still relaxing nevertheless. went for a burger meal for lunch on saturday. had always wanted to try out this burger place called Gourmet Burger Kitchen (more commonly known as GBK) cos they apparently serve the 'real' burger. but for the price of 7 to 8 pounds each, i'd just forgo and go into another BK (burger king) la lol. luckily, eateries in london are getting more and more competitive that they have to offer buy 1 get 1 free to lure customers - of course, the customers are more than happy to take advantage of these offers hehe.

we ordered one each - 1 cajun spiced and 1 satay sauce + some random sauce. both burgers are made using 100% aberdeen angus beef and were huge!

surprisingly they tasted really good even without cheese - who says burger must go with cheese lol. only managed to eat 1/2 of satay sauce and 1/4 of cajun spiced cos i was stuffed soon after... for the first time, eating burger actually felt healthy hahaha :)

went to heathrow to pick housemate up this evening. hehe her 2 weeks home passed really fast, no more home alone for me! took us about 2 hours to get there and another 2 to get home... why la make ppl drive through the city to get to airport! (although i wasn't the one driving lol) on the way back we passed by many places that i haven't actually been before, and realised how big london really is. while waiting for the traffic light, we came really close to Parliament Square and the Big Ben. only then it struck me that i haven't seen it that upclose before lol. i guess when something is so easily accessible we are less likely to appreciate its magnificence? or is it just me... Big Ben actually looks really nice in sunny breezy weather like this!

wanted to take pics of London Eye too but the car moved too fast... maybe i should spend a weekend 'absorbing' the beauty of london... erm after i finish all my papers la, which may well mean .. never? *touchwood*
