edel, jf and i met them(fred, jiayi, elaine and belinda) at the sage, gateshead. we brought them to the baltic's viewing gallery, took some photos and went to see level 2's spencer tunick's works again. but the other time din get to see the video..haha super RA. they filmed the other project in which photos of 1700 nude bodies were taken at the 5 specific venues. so weird lor..the video showed them wearing ponchos at first, then everyone started stripping and positioned themselves. haha then fred was like teasing the girls asking arent those on the screens them? tsk tsk. the video really quite crude la..think the photos are more artistic.
then we crossed the beautiful millenium bridge and we figured out that yes it can really be raised up to allow ships to pass. a real beauty lor that structure. the cables can be kept within the metal body and half of the platform can be kept under the other half. wah...it's really well built la. and it looked super nice too.
went passed castle keep, then to the city centre, china town where i finally got my oyster sauce at only 95p...for a big bottle..only that brand lor..the rest very ex..1 plus for a small bottle, had lunch at chicken cottage, went into st james park...my first time in it also. ya all newcastle's black and white shirts and adidas sports wear. not exactly cheap though.
we then went to the antique museum in sch. i din even went in.. all the tomb stones showing the carvings on it. many souvenirs inside. got monopoly set of newcastle uni leh! very nice lor but 26P. so ex! the sch badge..those collar pins alr cost 6P. well i shall decide whether to buy or not at a later date.
we proceeded to an arts gallery..nothing much inside. very small one also. then brought them to walk past eldon square...the super big shopping centre connecting all the shops...then we walked them back to the sage where they boarded the bus back to leeds. an exhausting day indeed but after that we went to check out a casino. very small...think 7 plus pm is very early so only 6 pple playing inside. there are only roulette tables, black jack tables and those machine kind which just require the player to press the button..those jackpot kind. well we cant figure how the machine works...so many buttons..i thought just need to press one. then the others min bet is 5 P lor! we got a membership card for fun..haha din play at all. then we walk back to eat mac for dinner. 2nd last day be4 the coupon expire. 2P big mac meal so not too bad. besides i was really hungry cos skipped lunch. then we dragged ourselves back to our halls.
