30/04/09 -- The Queen visits Portsmouth

Queen Elizabeth visits Portsmouth in honor of the 65th Anniversary of D-Day during WWII.
This was around noon, I didn't have lectures until 2pm. :)

But this was also the morning after a night with McFly. I didn't get up 'til 10, a friend texted me about HRH coming to Pompey, so I got ready as fast as I could and hopped on the next bus to town. xD


The majority of the crowd was gone by the time I arrived. The bells of Guildhall's clocktower had run and the Queen already went inside.

It was also pouring down when I arrived. Those police officers were smiling at chuckling looking in my direction. I wondered why. Then I realized, oh, I'm all wet..

This is the Queen's car backing up towards the entrance

The band. :) And so much red, it's so pretty. Does it always look like this? I answer that with a laugh.

It seems like most English don't care about the Queen. But anyway, here's a nice shot of a really cool pub. :)

People start to trickle out..

Followed by Queen Elizabeth II!!

Awesome!!!


Thanks to Fiona once again for letting me borrow her camera!! :)

29/04/09 -- McFly with special guest David Archuleta

The following pictures were taken by me, though through a camera borrowed from Miss Fiona Gan(THANK YOU FIONA!! :D)

I didn't really know how to work the camera, so these were the outcome, but what matters to me most is that I was there, I lived the moment and enjoyed it.
(That is my excuse anyway)
The pics aren't that bad, but eh. Enjoy looking through them!




Hana, Kay, and I!!

Stood in the back for good quality dancing room!

Aww, look who it is, guys!! David Archuleta!!!

"Somethin' bout your beautiful faaaaaaaace.."


"I'm lovin' angels instead..."



Archie put on a good show. :)

But now the stage is set for the main act...


Curtain fell, and McFly appeared.
Here's Danny Jones for the starter.


Blurry Harry Judd.

Danny Jones nailing that chord, OH YEAH.



Oh hey, it's Tom Fletcher. :D :D :D


The shots of the whole stage came out the best. :)



Danny Jones is legenddddd.

Tom Tom Tom..




Sing it, Tommm!

It was really fun seeing McFly once more before going back home. Gotta love em!

More pics later. Got a special batch coming up. :)

Dougie Lee.

This wasn't meant to be a post, but I figured, might as well add text to it
(in reality I can't remember how to delete)
Can't believe I only have one picture of him, eh.

So this post is dedicated to Dougie Lee Poynter, the bassist of McFly
Also the baby of McFly.
He is funny, and very cheeky
And downright awesome.
Yay Dougie!

Light shines on Dougie Poynter

07/03/09 -- Oxford

Went to Oxford!! Can you believe it, guys? I can't really, either. But I did. x)
All these photos were taken courtesy of Ms. Fiona Gan!!

I was going to steal it. You caught me.

I think this was part of Christ Church. You'll see a lot of that in this post.

The buses were the main obstacle in all our pictures!!!

I think it would be cool if people just stopped while the police officers passed by on their horses. They'd be like the English Cowboys.

Radcliffe Square! You're looking at the University Church. St. Mary The Virgin.

One of the entrances to the wee little market we found.


Random picture of Fiona, Anais, and I at a boot shop before we move on to pretty cakes.


I want to eat this bag.


Photo of Christ Church dining hall. :)


And more. Remind you of something? ;)


Oh yeah, that's Ann. :)

There was a huge queue for this place. We were holding up the queue because of our pictures. xD





The roses will bloom soon..






Sundial. Except there is no sun.

This was in the town hall. There was a record & CD fair! But it cost to get in. Prepostrous.


More of St. Mary






More of Christ Church. :)







Soooooo pretty.

Then we made our way back to the market.





And we all got milkshakes/smoothies.

We got our moo moos.

And I got my ballooon. But left it on the coach in the end. :(

AND WE GOT RED NOSES TOO.

This is Fiona's.

lol.


Posing with our stylish noses.


This is me holding in my laughter.


Happy red nose ending.
Red Nose Day is this Friday. :)

Besides that. Oxford is such a beautiful place. We were only there for about 5 hours but we all still had a good time. Loved it.
