today i woke up at 7.50am.
then i quickly go to update my yesterday's "Visiting London" blog post and i quickly get myself prepared.
during the morning, i just prepared the sandwich as my breakfast and packed up for my lunch.
seriously the time is so limited as i need to balance the time for researching the place to visits in London and don't really have much to do others thing.
around 10.40am i make a move from home and reached to Ickenham station at 10.55am.
well, i just get to know that the Picaddily line route will be always coming in time at 11.10am, so there is no need to come early as the previous arrival time was around 10.10am.
besides, the weather seems to be so cold again and i do regret that i did not wear much clothes as i thought my body can resist the cold weather.
somehow i had accidentally slept on the train until it reached Holloway Road station although my first destination was King's Cross St Pancras trail station as shown below.
well, i also realize that the maximum fare for traveling a single journey from Icekenham to King's Cross St Pancras in the Picaddily line would cost about £3.
the reason i wanted to go there was because i heard that there was a scene of Harry Potter movie being film at there which is the platform 9¾ as shown below.
after that, i went to visit one of the place that "Triumph In The Skies 2" (衝上雲霄II) HK drama being filmed there which is the St Pancras train station as shown below.
around 1.10pm i just have the sandwich that i packed during this morning as my lunch in the station while looking at the people walking pass by.
after that, i use my phone's GPS and find the place to British Museum as it was free to entry.
well, the walking journey took about 1 hour for me to find that place as i arrived at 2.10pm although the map guidance sait it would just take around 30 minute walking distance because the weather is still raining.
somehow there was too much of things to see in the British museum as i start to feel a bit tired for seeing too much of information as shown below.
besides, the Malaysian RM1 coin has been displayed at there as you can see below.
around 3.50pm i make a move from there and went to find the place to top up my Lebara mobile number for £5 although i wish to change to another line.
frankly speaking, it is quite hard to estimate the time between finding place to eat and the place to visits in London where you're in there.
moreover, there was a lot of Chinese restaurant in Chinatown London as i keep comparing which price is worth to eat as shown below.
anyways, i just walked to the Piccadilly Circus and Buckingham Palace while thinking whether where to eat as shown below.
in the end, i decided to have my dinner at Wong Kei Chinese Restaurant after looking at the feedback that i received yesterday from "TZ" blogger as i reached there at 6.20pm.
then i just ordered the Roast Duck Noodle that cost for £4.60 although i was planning to eat the Barbecued cold meat on hot rice from the menu as shown below. (Free Chinese Tea to drink)
it is because my past experience for eating cold meat was not nice when i had tried the similar type of food at one of the restaurant in Penang.
actually it is not very worth to eat as the portion was just enough to full for me and it is quite "funny" to think that we can almost eat a whole duck in Malaysia if it cost for RM25 right.
around 6.45pm i make a move from there and took some picture along the way while walking to Picaddily line to take the train back home as below.
somehow there was people playing saxophone inside the train station and it was quite nice to listen as below.
upon arrive there at 7pm, the train was quite punctual and i arrived the Rayners Lane at 7.45pm because i need to change to the Metropolitan line if i need to back to Ickenham.
finally i arrived the Ickenham station at 8pm and just realized that i get deducted £5 for the return journey.
then i ask one of the staff about it and she told me i was on the peak hour as shown below.
therefore i learned that i need to back home late if i wish to get a £3 for return journey.
according to the Oyster card pricing, the peak time would be at Monday-Friday 04:30-09:29 while off-peak would be Monday-Friday from 09:30-04:29 (the following day), Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 04:30-04:29 (the following day) and i still quite blur about it.
therefore this might prove that TIME IS MONEY as a simple train journey also can be classified in such way just like dividing the social status of rich and poor people.
when i reach home at 8.20pm, i just feel quite tired after walking all day long.
somehow my relatives couldn't able to accompany much because she need to work every week day until very late around 8~9pm instead of 5pm normal working time in London.
therefore i feel that i shouldn't trouble her for asking the top most visited place in London as i can research it by myself although it is quite time consuming.
well, there is a few places that you can visits for FREE such as British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, National Maritime Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum but it might be bored if you don't like historical stuff.
besides, the Madame Tussauds and the Original London Sightseeing bus tour with river boat would cost about £20+ each and i still considering whether worth or not because i was alone and it is hard for me to take picture with the figures.
honestly, i just feel that travelling seems to be a "way to showing off to others people" about the place you visits because if i did not go out and spend my days with looking at computer news, it might consider as "wasting time/stupid" to stay in house.
on the other hand, i still haven update my previous post and i do have a feeling that "what had past, shall be pass" as it is no use to think back.
