Wow, what a day.... what a long day.....First of all, the plane ride was most definitely not something I like to repeat. Over night flight with a kid that kept kicking me as I try to fall as sleep. The dad try to stop him, but since he was such a small kid and would sleep sideways, he just end up trying to stretch his legs every so often and would kick me.... what a kid. The kid doesn't response when I lift his legs or try to move him, he's a slumber sleeper!Then, there was this lady.... oh man... I thought I was getting air sick, and I was... But I never get air sick... anyway, felt like vomiting, and was feeling really warm neck up with a sense of lost vision as everything went bright and it just got more intense. So I try to get to the washroom to see if I was going to vomit or something. Anyway, washroom was full, and I had to wait in the isle where the exit door was. I was leaning on the seat as I couldn't stand straight, and this old Indian lady told me that I was in her line of TV, and asked me to move. So i just kneel down and focused on not fainting. Anyway, flight attendant lady was pushing her cart by, and i asked for Gravol and water... she was hesitant and told me to wait... but when she saw me, she decided to give me water. ANYWAY, the Indian lady told me to stay away from her if I'm sick. I was like... oh man, so rude.... i was just getting air sick, and she wanted to get rid of me. Anyway glad the worst part of the day was over.Next, at Gatwick, (probably one of the slowest Airport I've been to), I waited for 1hr30min for the passport checkout. MY goodness, how long does it take? there were only 3 or 4 desk that started for what I estimated to be 500+ people. But anyway, I finally got into town by 12:30. And man, England is beautiful, just the buildings and how it just blends so well into the land. I was glad my trip has finally began to turn over a new leaf.I was lucky enough to have a friend to meet up with first, as we chatted, she poured me water, and lend me her cell phone for the next couple days. It really made my life so much easier. I tube down to London, and man is it different. English speaking, a mixed race of people, yet so unique beautiful and different compare to North America. People crowding and sitting around Leicester Square, and with the open concept of all these stores, theaters, and restaurants facing towards the square, it developed a scene where with one glance, you see many many stories, and little life intricacies. Absolutely fantastic :DIt was at Leicester that I met up with Trudy and Jenn, what a great couple of travelling friends. And I'm very blessed to be able to call them friends as this is the first time I've ever met them. However, it is truly by God's grace that through sharing one friendship, we brothers and sisters of Christ somehow can be so comfortable as extending that arm of friendship and becoming friends with our friends friends. Thanks Andrea, your pocket people are most definitely a strong reflection of you, and the character you show.Lunch at Leicester was beautiful, but what was even more stunning were the V&A and National Gallery. The buildings, and and artifacts, I was in a state of awe seeing some of Rafael's work, or the statue of Michelangelo, not to mention some of the plasticine scripture of the towers in Rome... Wow. And it doesn't hurt to have an English Re-nais-sances? Masters Degree person accompanying you, teaching and discussing about the amazing distention of each painting, scripture, and every art piece that I am walking by. History was fun for the first time. Next, I went to see The Producer.... what a funny show. I wish i had more sleep so that I didn't keep falling in and out of sleep in the show. I love the dynamics between the characters and pair of characters, these guys are good... and definitely worth every pound to go see them.To wrap up... as I'm totally exhausted....I would have to say God's has shown me both trials and blessings. I guess I need to just count my blessings when I feel like things are taking a turn for the worst. God has most definitely been faithful, so why do I finding myself doubting in his work, ME? Well, I would just like to thank everyone that I talked with last night as it truly made me count my blessings again to have such wonderful friends to show their support and care.alright then, good night love.hk :)
