ouh what a day..

woken up by ameen at 9, took a shower, got dressed, (quite badly)cooked my pasta, put on some make up,,,,, and TATE MODERN here me come!!! hihi.

Tate Modern is an Art Gallery, situated just behind the LSE Hall of Residence, Bankside House. i was a loyal resident of that hall for the whole of my first year in LSE. heh heh. but hv never gotten the chance/time/heart to step into THE art gallery of all tourists.. ouh what a shame.
although, i do remember being a very useful tourist guide to all those lost visitors on my way out or home ;) it aint that tough. heh.

and today, by hook or by crook, was decided to be the day. the day i will officially check Tate Modern on my 'must-go' list. and yes, i dragged the whole house(nadia,taj,ameen), along with urta and mad, to slide down The Unilever Series: Carsten Holler; which consists of a series of slides that run from different levels in the gallery into the Turbine Hall.
we got there, and to our surprise, the slides on levels 3,4 and 5 were fully booked all the way till 2pm. takde rezeki .. i had other plans lined up, couldnt afford to wait that long.. nonetheless, we went on the level 2 slide anyway, just so tak kumpunan. and it was gurrrrrrr-reatttt!!! hehe.

after tate, it was time for picnic, just outside it,, in the unfriendly cold-windy-drizzly weather (BBC forecasted that it was going to be sunny, so aint my fault!). battled with the wind, had our pasta, and then to nadia's, taj's and urta's surprise,, along came Far, Liza, Ijah and Ash from the bushes, with a few tupperwares of Tandoori chicken(courtesy of Ijah), Lasagne(Liza) and Chocolate Fudge Cake(Ash) :)) it was a surprise party for those three march 1985 babies.

though the weather wasnt as great as we

expected,, they were surprised oh yes! hihi. but we couldnt take the battle with the wind any longer, thus headed back to Henshaw Street, our home s w e e t home.. and proceeded with the party there.

Alhamdulillah things turned out well in the end.. although not as majestic as it could have been,, the organising team (ie. the rest of those present today) tried our utmost best in putting together the best celebration in the extremely short time..

after makan, borak, bergambars, berry, etc, all but ameen, taj, urta, and mad, left for oxford streett! ;) far and i were window shopping together for a bit, and then i teman-ed nadia to get some of her last min stuff for prague tomorrow. she got her gorgeous boots, sling belt and bag, yay! and i ended up with an uncalled-for pair of cowboy boots, and a belt too. sigh~.
pastu balik,, and packing timeee!!!!

hope the rest enjoyed themselves coz i know i did.
