1) It has been ages since I've stepped foot in England and hence just as an early warning to those seasoned Londoners, my posts would be rather touristy.
2) We arrived early morning in Heathrow Airport and took the cab to Leonard Apartments. The cab driver was a nice chap from Afghanistan who purposely drove us through some famous areas like through the Hyde Park etc even though his services were a fixed rate. Leonard Apartments is on Seymour Street, which is walkable to the busy Oxford shopping street. As expected, the interiors are classic and cozy.
3) We spent the day walking along Oxford Street. The weather was crap..Ie raining and not...so we were walking in and out. And well of course we came across the famed Selfridges..its got interesting window display..seriously bold art! Walked into Selfridges and my god, I dont think I've seen designer bags displayed so cheaply. Selfridges looks like any other departmental store except that its all $$$$$. Oh and its 101 years old this year! Apparently it was perhaps Mr Selfridge (founder) who coined the term the 'Customer is Always Right'. 
4) Met up with my cousin....
and had yummy waffles at Pure Waffles
5) Did grocery shopping at Marks&Spencer for dinner!
6) Met Mira lalink! She dropped by for dinner in the apartment and we girls caught up after sooo long, painting nails (hehe matching red nails!!) and planning the touristy stuff to do for the rest of the week!
7) Amy arrived later that night having just arrived from Paris. Actually the whole reason us family were in London was because of her. Amy works for HSBC and after a year of their management trainee programme, they'll get sent to Bricketwood, UK for a month of training. So actually the rest of us just took this opportunity to 'visit' her after her programme :p
