The bridges.

Finally I've decided to lay my ass on the chair and edit the bunch of photos, arrange them and upload them.
Btw, last Saturday, I went to Alnwick castle (hope I spelled it right) where part of the Harry Potter scenes took place, we departed at 6.30 in the morning and arrived home at almost 11pm. Whole day! Tiring. And the weather wasn't good. Indeed it's the worst weather so far since I came to UK.
Anyways, we also went to the Tyne bridge which is nearby our accommodation, and also the Millennium bridge. Actually I'm not sure if the 2 bridges mentioned are the same or not. -_-" And there're 2 bridges we saw, i don't know which is which.


On the way with walking..




Here goes the bridge. Tyne bridge I supposed?







Full view of it.



Keep on walking to the next destination - the Sage Gateshead where they go to the musical performance, opera..etc etc. I hope I'll go for a classical music performance or an opera with a beautiful dress. Ahhh so classy..HAHA!



3 of us outside the Sage. Obviously it's opposite the bridge. Still can see it.



The main entrance.


Full view of it.


Of course I couldn't miss taking a photo when I saw the very rare beautiful sunlight. Then we leave the Sage and proceed to next place..



Then we arrived to the Gateshead Millennium bridge.



Us trying to pose naturally on the bridge.


Before leaving the bridge. We saw people doing their stunts.



Kinda impressive. We stood there for about 5-10 minutes trying to capture there movement. After taking several photos of them, I walked down the bridge and when I turned my head, I saw there're much more people doing more stunts in the garden. So, it's not that impressive in the end. haha!


They were playing kites in case you all don't get it why I took this picture. But the kites didn't fly high.


Then we passed by the Law Courts. Law Courts with skater boys. Hmm..


Anyways, that's the end of our Tyne bridge walking trip. Then we went home after buying something in Tesco.
Will continue with other trips photos later. Of course for the Alnwick castle too! Hehe.

Btw, I went to Morrisons again. This time we didn't take the risk by pushing the trolley back to accommodation. Instead, we went there by car! So happy :) Thanks to our friend from HK, Billy who had been our driver to the Morrisons though it's only 5 minutes driving distance (it's almost 20 minutes for walking distance k!), because of him, we can finally walked proudly to the direction of the carpark with the trolleys, no more worry for the HEY-PUT-BACK-THE-TROLLEY kind of yelling.
Seriously, I'm glad to meet the new friends here, especially our housemate Cathy from HK as well, she is really nice man! She is now half of the M'sian. HAHA! And also some of our neighbours.

O yea, I took French language class finally!! I'm so freaking happy :) :) Can't wait for the first class to start. It's including exam and cert!! Yay!! I don't need to worry whether I get the pronunciation wrong by self-learning anymore!! HAPPY!!!!!!! :)

I've invented some food. Haha! Oatmeal + milk + honey + cut banana, put the ingredients one by one then cook together. It tastes not bad! HAHA!! 

K, go take a nap.
