Bristol>Cornwall>Plymouth>Portsmouth

After my exams, my friend and I had a long road trip to Land's End, Cornwall. We made a few stops along the way though, the 1st place we stopped was Bristol. Bristol is really developed! It's like a big city! There's a very high and long suspension bridge, Clifton Suspension Bridge, that was built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. It's sooo amazing to see such an engineering piece! Too bad I'm not a civil engineer, and I don't want to be one also, but I do admire civil engineers' work.

This is also a view from somewhere quite high up in Bristol, isn't the view just amazing! So breath-taking!

At Land's End, we ate ice-cream and played kite=) Can you see the kite? It's a very small dot in the cloud=)

We were trying to make the same photo as what we did in the previous road trip to Dover. I was pretending to drop off the cliff and hanging for my life while Junming tries to save me. Unfortunately, this time Junming don't look very convincing as he's looking at the camera!


The flower is a gift from Sara=) The view is just sooo beautiful, can you see the different shades of blue of the sea? The sea is sooo beautiful on this side of the world!

Oh, along our journey in Cornwall, we stumbled upon Roskilly's factory/farm. Roskilly's makes Cornwall's famous cream tea and clotted cream ice-cream. So we were in the middle of a farm in the middle of no where. As we came out of the car and Junming locked the car, the car alarm went off. No matter what we did, the car could not be unlocked and we were locked out of the car! Junming called the car rental company which called Volkswagen. They sent a guy over to help us but he took more than 1 hour because we were in the middle of no where. While that, we drank cream tea and ate ice-cream of course! We played stupid games such as aiming and throwing stones into a circle we drew on the sand. When we got bored, we sat down and sang songs. Here we are posing and looking as though we're taking a photo for some fashion clothing.


Ooo...we also saw horse! FREE HORSES! Not free of charge but just running freely. I've nvr seen horses run so wild and free before! It's like in the movies! I usually see horses being ridden on in amusement parks and stuff like that but these horse were really carefree and unowned (I suppose) =) The white horse is sooo charming, so pure and white, and handsome=) He's the leader of the clan (I think), and he's always at the front line. There's also another white horse at the end of the line, making sure no one gets lost and all of them are safe I assume=)

On our way back, we stopped at Stonehenge. The myths regarding the stones are quite funny=) I think the entrance fee is a bit too expensive la. Oh well, to spend time with ppl close to me, it's worth it=)

Star Trek

I just watched Star Trek and I find Chris Pine quite cute! I never knew about him until I watched Star Trek and he's quite charming I have to say.


Star Trek is really quite a nice movie. Although I do not follow the Star Trek series, it was still really interesting=) There's so much fighting, conflict and suspense and I really like it=)

Next movie, TRANSFORMERS!
