Birmingham trip!

The birmingham trip from Friday to Sunday was absolutely fantastic, one of the best trips i have ever been to. Kudos to Miche (and loads of thanks) for organising it! (: Despite the fact that i slept through the whole day today (I slept during lessons! Which was bad, since i havent been a bad kid since i came.), I think it was one of the best weekend getaways I have ever had! But now i feel very very slack, and lack the drive to continue working for the nxt 2 weeks of school, it seems like im already in a holiday mood. But being a medic, i SHOULD be mugging nonstop shouldnt i be?

Back to the birmingham trip.
Firstly, i absolutely loved the crowd that went. It seemed like everyone got along so well, and we all seem to have this certain chemistry, although we did have a little hiccup here and there (which can never be helped with group travelling) but i would love to go on more trips with this bunch again ((: Its like making me feel like somehow i could find a gang of friends that i might potentially be really comfortable with again. But of course, because of the medics' disgusting timetable, it meant pretty much that they would mostly be my travel buddies. But who knows what lies in the future yes? Im praying and hoping that something like 406 would happen, and i know itll be so beautiful then!

Day 1, Friday:
The bus was late, and we finally reached birmingham (to be greeted by fierce gusts of chilling wind that left me chattering .. literally.) after midnight. And it was alot later than expected cos the bus left about 45mins late. But the service apartment was absolutely great. There was this huge kingsized bed and the toilet was fantastic and it was SO NEW. Plus the best part was that we got it for like 200quid in all, and all 14 of us managed to squeeze in very comfortably. And there was this kitchen with everything intact- pots and pans, utensils, oven, microwave, dishwasher. Absolutely amazing!
Finally we all went to bed at 3.30am -_-"

Day 2, Saturday:
Visited the German Food Fair in the morning, and i didnt know anywhere could be so happy! The music just made me want to skip and the food (although disgustingly priced) were amazing. It was SOSOSO yummy and there was such a wide collection of stuff to see, eat and buy. The beer was great too (according to those who drank), and i drank my first sip of alcohol under peer pressure >_< I didnt like it too much but didnt hate it too much either.
Left slightly early to go down to villa park to get tickets for the astonvilla- arsenal match. And i think staying in london for too long makes you think that everything in the world is expensive. We went "so cheap" when the conductor told us that our ticket was only 1.5 for return and he gave us an incredulous stare -_-
When we went to villa park, we realised to our dismay that tics were sold out : ( And we nearly bought from touters (who tried to rip us off for 55pounds). And in the end we managed to get tics for 25pounds from the counter after Jon managed to cajole the counter lady to spare us singapore peeps who flew 7000miles to watch this. We only got single tics but the view was great so no complaints.
The match was absolutely amazing, and definitely worth the trip down (: Villa Park was beautiful, and the crowd was cool (though i wouldnt say very very fantastic).
Arsenal won 2-1!! And i had to stop myself many a times to stop cheering for the wrong team (lest i get whacked). I think its impossible to describe such an atmosphere, unless you are down personally to feel it (:
Dinner at night was cookout back at our lovely service apartment. And it enjoyed it too, im starting to love cooking alot!



Ok, im feeling a little bored of blogging about my trip cos i think describing such a great trip with the very limited vocab i have is not doing it justice >_< haha! But i will update about the Good Food Show in the next post!

For now, i have a short attention spa
