Day 101, 102 & 103

December 9

Friday. This morning I woke up at 920, which was 10 mins before i was suppose to leave my flat to go meet up gigi! I set my alarm for 8am, but i guess i'm such a snoozer than i js snoozed for like an hour. Yikes, I had to take out the trash, finished packing, undo my sheets and make sure all my stuff was gone from the flat as I wouldn't be returning tonight. So after doing all that quickly and getting ready, i headed out at 10 and ran into the boys, taylor, vince and chad in the elevator so said goodbyes and hugged. The tube ride was such a sad one. Wanted to bawl :( I got to Gigi's hostel at YHA in Oxford Circus. Dropped my stuff off, and she wasn't even ready....We left at 1115? Good thing the Ritz was only..1 stop away LOL. So we got there exactly on time at 1130. Her brother was late, i think he got there at 1150ish. We started off tea before he came, we got the regular english breakfast tea, so delish! They also brought out the food...mmm, the sandwiches were quite fresh and the "half" macaroon was very nice. Then we got the rose tea and then darjeling tea or whatever. We got loads of salmon sandwiches and the macaroons. mmm. We had to get out at 1ish..like 130? So annoying. We took tons of photos, then headed to bond st and old bond st. Her bro left to go to greenwich after a while so we just walked around more. We got a free vodka cocktail at Jimmy Choo. Went to miu miu, lv, chanel, and all that jazz.

Then went to Trafalgar sq, we walked! Ran into brock and alex! Ahaha, so unexpected, hugged and stuff. Then we parted, and i brought gigi to harrods, tried to find vicki but she was on her break and it was like 530 so i had to leave to go to the marriott skating event...i got there exactly at 6, ON TIME! Skated for like 30 mins, then it was over..lame, quite scarey though. Good thing I didn't fall..lol wearing a dress and all. Then we all went to the south bank german xmas market, Anja got me my first gluhwine, then i had to leave at 730 cause henry was waiting for me and was annoyed i was so late..got there right before 8, we went to waga mama but the food sucks!! don't get the ramen..ewww, got the fruit juice, legit a smoothie..that wasn't cold. Ugh bill was like 27 pounds wtf, awful food, good thing capa covered 20 pounds LOL Then we went to hyde park for one last time, drank cherry gluhwine..then it was closing and there was a fight!! A black guy and someone else..i saw him but idk who the other one was...too bad didn't see the brawl, mad police running into there, well security, police came 20 mins later...lame.

Then we headed to henrys pub and he got me my half pint of guinness and blackcurrent delishhh then we went to YHA since gigi gave me her key so i can pick up my stuff...then headed back to his place..and omg...he had his lock changed this morning, 2 of them, but one wasn't and that was the one that wouldn't open, so we were like wtf...he thought the thing from inside was locked so we were js like omg , what do we doand those sketchy indian ppl who live upstairs who always fucking rings the bell PROB to see if anyone is home so they can rob them..were at the outside door, i didn't wanna open it so i looked away then he friggin like bang or buzzed it, so henry went to open and the guy sarcastically said "feels good to be back" sketch!!!...

So we tried, well he tried to open the windows to his apt, they all opened a lil...then those indians came out again and was like looking at us, walked behind the building, prb to do sketchy and i was talking to henry whispering about how sketchy they were then i was gon see where they went i turned around and omg one of them was sitting there watching us!! WTH...so i was like "OH SHIT" hoping he didnt hear what i said... then the other one came back and they both left and was like "wish we could help" and walked away, BUT they asked his flat mate last time if she needed help breaking in...when she locked herself out..so whatever..

Then randomly after 20 mins, henry used a CC to open the window..wow and it actually opened, so he climbed in then we realized all the laptops were missing!!! and his shark bag :( So called the police..they suppose to come tomorrow...so didn't sleep til like 5 am cause had to finish packing and shower and book hostel....
