Yo moi peeps!! Whats up and whats happening!! Groovy picture above there aint it!! It was taken at Dover Street Market in London on the very first day I arrived there. So as you can see the title above it says LONDON and mostly loads of shopping done and spent!! Hahhaah...Anyway I am sorry for the amount of pictures in this post but I already tried my best to cut it down, so by any means please be patience and let it load out ok?! =D
Anyway was my first time travelling around alone as in without the guidance of family but with only a single friend it was rather fun and at the same time having butterfly in my stomach because of not knowing precisely where we were at times but then English is way way way easier to cope and understand with compare to German in Germany that we are in. Therefore without further or due lets begin with my entralling 3 days 2 nights holiday at London! BEHOLD! =P
P.S: Well I am seriously stoked that I am actually almost a month or so away till I am back to Malaysia! Really cant keep those feelings anymore of being leftout of whats happening back home and trying to talk to your love ones face to face!! Well not too long guys. I will be back to rock it out HARD!! Y'eard = Ya Heard (My new found word with my very own Flava!! Y'eard!! =D

After arriving at the airport, we took the new FAST & EASY transportation from Standsted Airport to London Town itself, which is the Stansted Express that took approximately 35 minutes only, rather to be compared with the normal bus route which takes you almost 2 freaking hours only to reach the town. Although it costs us 19 Quid but it was still fair enough because it saved us TIME!! =D

And yeah the station we stopped at was Liverpool Street Station!

Right after transferring to the Tube we finally found ourselves at the Times Square of London which is the Piccadilly Circus!! Woahhhh....=0

Some group of peoples were having a street performance of some sort! No time for that! =P

Continuously, without any delay we quickly checked into our hostel, dropped our stuff and asap ran down to get some food. And if memory serves me right China Town was just right around the corner which I have been to last time! And along the way there we saw the Tribute the Londoners gave towards the King Of Pop! Sadly which he was suppose to perform soon for them. =( R.I.P!

Well it is still a Mystery & SHOCKING!!

Spotted Mr.Wu while crossing the streets to China Town! Definitely a success in London as I can see loads of them almost at every corner now! R.E.S.P.E.C.T! =D

Ta-Da! The streets of China Town!! =)

Got to represent the East Coast don't we?! =D

Verbal mode?!

So after minutes of walking around various chinese restaurant we finally chose this one! The Golden Pagoda. Well practically we were too hungry and busy chowing down the food, therefore we forgotten to take pics of the food. Well we actually ordered 2 noodle dishes, 2 normal servings of Dim Sum and a serving of quarter Duck! You can't leave out the Duck when you are in London. Anyhow its a must for me and surprisingly this restaurants Duck didn't disappoint me at all!! ZHENG!! You can't blame us for eating that much because for the past 5 months we couldn't have any decent chinese food like they have here in London! Bleh!

So what do you usually do after eating, take a walk and let your food digest right? Well for us we cam whore instead! Hahaha....XD

Well after the scrumptious meal we decided or mostly I decided to head down to Dover Street to find the infamous Dover Street Market store which is well known around the world. Upon heading there I saw this sweet Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. Man the sound of the engine is as sweet as the symphonica! NICE!!

Yes and after minutes of walking I finally found it!

The full view of the store! The space this store has is intriguing! The whole building of a total of 4 floors are all totally clothing from designer labels to streetwear of Visvim, Bape & even Table Top selection from Hiroshi Fujiwara himself. Just an amazing place that is definitely not to be missed when you are visiting London! =D

Well at the beginning of the post you saw my version of wearing the Bape X Teriyaki Boyz Sparkling Sunnies. Here is a another version from MC KC!! Y'eard! =D

So this is practically the small space of the pop up NOWHERE store inside DSM! Wasn't allowed to take pictures but manage to quickly snap a few!! Wish I got the money to buy everything off the racks!! Muahahaha...XD

THE main reason why I was there for! The UNDERCOVER X BAPE sneaker with it super limited release only for this NOWHERE store in London and nowhere ELSE in the WORLD!! Yeah! And it costs me a mini Atomic Bomb! POW!

Definitely got the sneakers as well as a Uniform Experiment tee which can be seen in detail later on the post! Was on sale or practically the WHOLE store was on sale like 50%-70%. The brand was already hard enough to lay your hands on and yet now sale! So without further or due just Ka-Ching! =P

Well KC was having a hard time deciding whether to get the Bape X Undercover sneakers as well but in the end after my persuasion he coped it! I bet this is his first time in life buying such an expensive pair of sneakers. And in total of this 5 months including this shoe he has already bought 3. Same goes for me as well! Hahhaaha =P

DSM ROCKZ!!

So what do you gals & guys think of my outfit alongside with the New Era A-Town cap famously worn by Usher? Shabby?! Hahaha...

Next Up is Nike Town! And this was the Football Jersey Exhibition corner! Cool ain't it.

Gotta join in the fun as well!! Hahah...=)

KC as well of course!! Hahahaa...

Well next up it has to be UNIQLO of course! Its the only place in Europe out of Japan that has it! And can you see whats written on the window? How could I resist! =P

This was only the beginning of my Uniqlo mania!! Oh yeah this Uniqlo was on Regent Street I think, but anyhow you can easily spot them everywhere! =D

Next Uniqlo which is also the most recent opened at Oxford Street was designed by the world famous Japanese designer Masahamichi Katayama who is also the same guy who designed all the Bape Stores around the world as well as other namely stores and restaurants in Japan and Overseas! =D

Somewhere near Carnaby Street! Forgotten what its called. Hahha sorry!!

Carnaby Street or more like the whole disctrict of Carnaby! =D

Was abit too late that day! Once again was on sale and we came back the next day! Was packed like mad.

Next its the Bape Store London under renovation! We were actually a week too early for its re-opening!

Too Bad! However, Pharrell Williams was actually in London at that particular time as well after reading from his blog. Sadly I didnt have the luck I had in Japan to meet him once more! Hmm...

KC's improvisation on the quote! Hahha...

After a wee bit more of walking we went back to Hostel and get ourselves freshen up. Wanted to go back to Wagamama to have a shot at their Ramen which was rather good back then. As for this time, it was a total disaster and let down! Consequently, we were still hungry and went back to Carnaby and look for food and we stumble upon this Chic chinese retaurant called Chi Chi Moon or Cha Cha Moon couldnt really read the font! Was a real nice place. The main point is that we had 2 dinners and a breakfast here. That proves how good this place is =) YUMM!!

From here onwards all the pictures are on the 2nd day. As said before we had a breakfast at Chi Chi Moon which I prefer to call it, was at the 2nd day's morning. The paper above is the serving paper on the table and it looks rather cute so I took it down. =)

The Chic Space I said before! Real comfy indeed.

The good ass Hong Kong made Chilli Sauce! ZHENG!! =D

For drinks I ordered a HK style milk tea! Was REALLY good! It definitely brighten me up for the day ahead. I think it was only 2 Quid if not mistaken.

As for KC he ordered a shake or smoothie like drink which was a mix of Pandan,Green Tea, Banana and Coconut Milk! The fuse of it was interesting and the outcome was stupendous! =D

Now for the main event we both ordered the Breakfast Lao Mian which was a combination
of Fried Shitake & Shimeji Mushrooms, a thick slice of Crispy Pork and a gorgeous pan fried DUCK egg. Yes folks the egg above is a DUCK egg! Was the first time for me as well to eat a Sunny Side up Duck Egg but hell I prefer Duck Eggs than Chicken Eggs if possible!! Hahahha..XD

As usual we must have a full fledge look at the dish at different angles. This side is the Fried Shitake & Shimeji Mushrooms.

And as for this side you could see the thick slice of Crispy Pork on the left. Somehow the whole combination of the dish comes along really well and sunks into your belly with a warmth which is easy going yet filling.

So right after the Breakfast! We quickly head down to the meeting point at Hyde Park Corner for the FREE tour which we found upon a brochure. It was called the Royal London Tour and unlike other hop on hop off bus tours around the city, we actually took it on foot and walked around slowly at all the tourist attractions. The way it should be enjoyed!

The Wellington Arch! Where the Wellington Beef came from! Hahahha JUST KIDDING!! =P

Well another place that I had to visit was the infamous Hideout store at Upper James Street London. It was actually just next door to Bape! Once again was a week too early for the Nike x Livestrong installation of the Hideout Footscape Woven!! Damn! =(

Time flies and night falls. We headed back to Piccadilly Circus for a night view of the place! The ever famous bright billboards that shines through the disctrict.
