Yes, I'm weird like that.

When you are fortunate to be given things, do you beg for more or hold back?
It is one or the other in any case, right?
Well in this case I hold back. I am very fortunate to get things that I may ask for when I favor it. But why do my parents still feel the need to hand me more things?
There are 3 children in the household and I have the most gadgets. Now, I don't want to sound like I am bragging because I'm not the type to show off my possessional belongings because well... I'm not five years old but I just want to say how lucky I am to have the parents I do, even if we are not the type of family to show our love for one another, it's just there.
The reason I bring it up is because my birthday is approaching (4th march) and my parents as always ask what I want and I found that question confusing. It was only a few months back that I received a car and for them to want to splurge on an iPhone 4s on me is madness.
Now, we aren't a poor family but nor are we insanely rich, more average than anything else.
So I am in that situation of wanting it but.. Not wanting them to waste money on something I don't necessarily need.I mean I have a phone why bother on getting a new one. Right?
Question: what would you/ do you do?

I be a London-er.

After all these years of being grown up in England never have I ACTUALLY experienced the London life, up until this day. I have stepped foot in London before but I don't think going to Southall in London would count since my mother is the one who demands these trips on a yearly basis and buys Asian clothes for my older sister. Me? I have no use there whatsoever.

Now, going to London was really for business not actually pleasure but since I arrived a day early I decided to do some sight seeing.

I was given an Oyster card (a card for transportation?) and BOY! Those things are amazing, how can any other city function better without them? Living in my home town is a nightmare with transportation but over in London? BEEP your in (obviously you need to top-up in advance). I took the underground tube station for the first time which was exciting for me.. besides the fact that some chinese guy (I love da chinese people) was staring at me, making the first tube ride a little comfortable since I had no idea where I could look.

So I made it after 2 rides and arrived at the tower of London, it was great but holy cow, the drinks there were expensive, almost £2 for a small bottle of drink. But I was thirsty. :(

Yes so, the bridge was blue, pretty blue.

The sad thing was, I went alone, I had no-one to go with, making the whole journey so dry and boring.

Like I mentioned, the trip was purely business, and the people I was living with were working so I went to the capital city, ALONE. 

After, I made to to the whole Big Ben, Oxford Street, Picadilly shin dig.

And finally, I WENT TO GO VISIT THE QUEEN. (You should of seen the grin on my face)

Actually like any normal citizen, her house. It was pretty. Big.

After the whole sight seeing like any other tourist, I went back home.

But got lost.

From all the travelling, it made my passion for travelling abroad even stronger.

I'll just remember to take someone with me, next time.

Want to go together? Hop along.
