London: Spending GBPs

Couple police hat, one for me and one for Timmy. This is one of the things that London is synonymous with, together with the bearskin hat guards, the double decker bus and the black cabs.

Bag from Primark and top from Zara. So cheap, at only £4.89 and £10 respectively! After conversion to RM, still freakin freakin cheap!

Come to think of it, should have bought more branded stuff there, dang!

Hair bands from Primark too. 24 pieces for £1 =)

Hand-painted candles, got them from Camden market.

I think for someone to paint them like that, they're amazing. I like the John Lennon one the most. There's another MU one but I'm lazy to ask my bro to take it out for photography purposes. Come to think of it, each costed about RM7, oh my gosh!

Hot choc drinks, 3 for £20. Not that nice actually.



Tea, many types of tea. These and the hot chocs were bought in Wimbledon just as the shop was about to close at 5pm. Stupid shops that close at 5 on Sundays.

Chocs, glorious chocs! The stack of chocs at the top left are Sainsbury home brands but they taste good! So there is nothing to buy fancy packaging, as what their wrapper says "No fancy packaging, just a good bar of chocolate".

How much those cost? £0.29!! That's like RM1.80 per bar!! And now I am thinking that I should have bought 50 bars instead, but I didn't know how they taste then.

Cherries, lovingly hand-carried and bought the day before departure from Borough market. Even Timmy cannot tahan, he took one from the bag and popped it right into his mouth when dropping me home =)

Don't play play, I am a Harrods member!

And I bought jam at Harrods! Branded jam, you know hahaha.

Terracotta warrior figures

Now, don't ask me why did I buy them, especially from London hahaha! Cos they were cheap la. The original price was £15 I think but they were on offer and I got them for about £5. Right after I paid for them, and I was still in the shop, I looked at the receipt if it mentions that I can return them within the next few days! And it was raining heavily that day, had to lugged 2 huge boxes home. And I tried to fit those boxes into my luggage, it won't fit so I had to check them in. At home, 1 of the Terracotta's legs patah already but I glued it back and still standing =P

I vow never to carry big stuff home anymore. 1 luggage bag, 1 hand-carried bag and 2 Terracotta figures all by myself. I will never act like a crazy shopper anymore :)

Other stuff bought but not photographed are:

1. MU t-shirts for bro and jerseys for May Ling’s dad

2. Hugo perfume for Timmy. Super cheap at 50% at Harrods! And I got an additional 10% of the discounted price for being a member =) (wanted to buy DKNY Delicious for myself but in the end, decided not to buy things just because they are cheap. I have repented)

3. James Bond book for bro and another book for myself at Sainsbury cos buying 2 books is value for money. Don't even remember what's the title cos I've finished it and given it to Timmy d.

With that, I declare the London series officially close. Haha, 1 trip inspired a whole lot of posts. I'm going back to reality but I hope to go there again next year! From there, I will head to Paris though =)
