"I'll go to the gym at least three times a week"

You know, today I realised how many people made that new year resolution - there was like 100% more people in the gym today than on the same day of the week at the same time just one month ago. Nothing explains this phenomenen, except that people probably made a resolution to go the the gym more often.

but i digress...

26 Dec - Boxing Day
On this day, the tube is operating with reduced services, and the famous boxing day sale starts. people started queuing outside Selfridges at like 4am, 4 hours before the store opened.

But we chose to avoid the crowd. L and I together with her bro walked up to Hampstead Heath (a huge park) to walk walk and breathe fresh air and freeze in the cold.

And then we walked to Hampstead and had some famous Hampstead Crepes... Had to queue for like 30 mins ok. Too bad I didn't take a picture of the crepes.

Then we went to the nearby shopping center and bought tickets to see King Kong. The show was damn long la (like 3 hours, what's wrong with peter jackson?) and I found some parts too draggy. but overall it was pretty entertaining.

After that we (its still 3 of us) had dinner at Nando's. Its this chain of restaurants that serve South American grilled/barbequeued chicken, with lots and lots of "peri-peri" sauce. The sauce is mainly made of hot chilli peppers, which give a nice spicy taste. mmm.. love the chicken. we had half a chicken each. mmm salivating already.

when we got home, we caught a few more episodes of Naruto/Bleach before retiring for the night.
