Sunday. Got up at 8am, left at 9am to go to Buckingham Palace to see the Changing of the Guards and also to see if there were tixs left so we can see the royal wedding dress since it's the last day....they sold out right when it got to us! We were only there for 30 secs though, so no biggie, but waiting for changing of the guards was 1 1/2 hours!!!! Good view we got by the fence. Then we went to Trafalgar Square...Chiyo and Jamie ate at pret a manger but i wasn't that hungry because i made a sandwich before i left. We took pics with the Lions! Omg, i had to climb up and my flip flops kept slipping so i had to ditch my shoes..finally got up, was very scared i'd fall back down. Everyone's watching..LOL Saw the people painted in silver..and we went to the National gallery for a moment to see Van Gogh and then the National portrait gallery..for like 15 mins, really cool, there was a head made from the artist's blood.
Then went to tesco, got more groceries, ran outta water/juice..i bought myself british strawberries...and also salmon, sauce, cheeseeeee, baby spinach, garlic clove to cook with and a avocado and then i forgot my tortilla chips..fml so no nachos...

Monday. Half-days! WHY ARE YOU SO BUSY?!!? Sohee went home ill before I even came in, poorrr her!! So i sat at her desk because Jigna was there, finally met her and Alex. They gave me loads of work! I helped Jigna type up her minutes on a disciplinary hearing, also SOP for Twickenham hotel. Alex gave me a organization chart to update..so much work, have to track down all HOD's!! Met up with Mike from FO for it. Also figured out who was Sunny from Club LOL, it's good to put a face to a name!
Afterwards, I went to work out at 4...At 5:30 I decided to just chill in the locker room area with all the beach chairs..and read up on British gossip..then I fell asleep...At 650pm, I met up with Chiyo at Waterloo, because I had to find a Barclays so I can get some money out to buy tickets...we got tickets to the London Eye for Oct 15, Sat and also Madam Tussauds, and the London Dungeon. Then we went to Slug & Lettuce and the place was full for dining, and the service sucked so we went to All Bar One next door. It's a fairly nice place...You have to sit down, because apparently British people don't like to sit you down...

Tuesday. Marriott by 930am...ahhh!!! At 10, went down with Alex to wait for the "college kids" aka 15 year olds...to show up, there was 13 of them from deprived areas of London, so I guess they are underprivileged. He and Vince (HK) gave some presentation at the Westminster Suite where we had a huge, 2 trays of breakfast items, actually, 3! Lots of breakfast food such as croissants, cinnamon roll? breakfast sandwich...one with bacon other with bacon and egg...also orange juice, tea, cofffee, waters--they were very shocked! They did a human knot activity. Then we showed them a perfect room, then went back to the Westminster Suite. They split into two teams. We gave them the challenge to put the room back to normal, to perfection. In 10 mins, they did their best. They won these special shampoo/conditioner miniature versions as prizes. Also met a germany intern...his fam knows someone in Marriott so he got an internship, he goes through all departments. Got cupcakes, as they were good bye presents. Then i went to lunch by my lonely selfffff, ate chicken curry and broccoli with rice. I also created a PPT for Mike in FO for the fire safety thing we have to do, and continued calling people for my org chart. Also finally had meeting with Sunny from Club and Joe from PDM to update the chart.
Met up with Vicki at the HK Diner we ate at before, also met her brother and sister. Then Vicki and I went to Bubbleology so I can try it...I got the taro since Vicki is like "try that!" Then after I order she's like "if they make the taro bad..then it's a horrible place, nice places make it nice.." GREAT...It was bad :( Then we met up with her sibs again and then her distant family?? Two guys. Had dinner at Young Cheng. It's from HK? I heard people who sounds like they were from HK inside, they were talking about parknshop!!! lol....Then Vicki and I went to H&M in search for a bathing suit for me..we went to two, and they didn't sell any!!! We also dropped by Boots before that..it's like an English SASA!!! Then we went home at 8pm when all the shops close...
