15 april new phone and hk cafe
My phone was spoilt and i had to get a new phone. Rushed out of the house once I thought the shops were open. It was a sunday. most shops did not open too early. i went into whichever phone shop that was open. darting in and out of the shops.....since i had a vodafone sim card, i tried to find a phone from the shop at oxford st. but alas, the phone i had taken a fancy to was not available at this branch. the sales assistant told me to walk further down to the bigger branch. He was quite helpful. however, he failed to tell me that the shop only opens at noon. When i reached the big vodafone shop, it was still closed. so frustrating. thus, i decided to walk back home and have lunch first.
After filling my stomach, i continued with my search for the phone. At the big vodafone shop, i bought the cheap phone that i saw at cambridge. simple phone with no features. no camera no mp3 nothing. 30 pounds. cant expect much. but its small. nice to carry around. anyway, in london, i carry my camera around. dun really need a camera phone. i like the pink samsung phone though. more ex. plus my contract in singapore is ending soon. can get a new phone in a few months' time.
If i had known i would have so much trouble gettin the phone at oxford st, i would have bought it in cambridge. just that i would have to lug it around with me. its strange that we are back to square one after one enormous turn. how much time do we have to spend before we realise that?
Back home to meet H and then source for possible holiday options. Walked over to goodge st to check out sta. found some weekend trip packages. isle of wright sounded beautiful. the lady said she could only confirmed the places on monday. (not available anymore. all places were taken up)
early dinner at the hong kong cafe. the piggies love to eat. source for reasonably priced and yummy food. that is our quest.
duck's tongues. very chewy. interesting eat. it was such a coincidence that H and I were eyeing the same dish as something to share. 
the luncheon meat beehoon. luncheon meat sure tasted good. hmmm.
portuguese rice was what i ordered. with tumeric powder. like the powder used in indian dishes. it actually did not taste very creamy. unlike the ones i had in singapore. prefer this version in this cafe. and of course i must have the yuan yang. kopi with tea. slurp.
walked home from picadilly circus. famous display boards at piccadilly.we tried a new route. passing through old bond st and new bond st. expensive shops lining the streets. can only see and no buy. sad.
