yes! it snowed on fri night! so the ground is covered with snow on sat, the day when we went tynemouth, wat a great choice! the lake in the leazes park was frozen! i threw a stone in and it bounced. haha not tat it can skip on water but becos there's ice on the water surface. i tried stepping on it..cracks start to appear! oops.haha..ok i better not destroy it. we went to form lettering in the tennis court..so fun
we rushed to take the metro to tynemouth. no coins! argh make me spend 1P on 3 kitkat chunkies. so many security at the gates. crazy la! ok so cant escape. sianz. snow on the ground is getting thicker as we approach tynemouth station.
we walked towards the north sea! haha played with snow along the way..well done edel and jiafang keep throwing snowballs at me. then obviously i throw back la..haha but my palms frozen lor...how i wish i've waterproof gloves. my feet too! again! omg i better remind myself to bring thick socks. yea then we take turns to do tobogganing with our shoes..haha..2 of us just pull the other one down the slope....whew..so fun!haha
went down to the beach. super fine sand. the waves sound so melodious. dogs were running around, swimming in the cold sea; pple playing with those huge parachutes. then we crossed those huge rocks, with algae which are super slippery, with seaweed and countless barnacles. my shoes werent suitable for this at all.. i couldnt even balance on the rocks. so difficult to walk. i fell, got my shoes into the water and a slight cut on my knuckles. why did i land on knuckles? sigh. but it's really an experience lor...super tiring to cross those rocks. later i gain more confidence. jumping here and there, planning ahead to get to bigger and flatter stones.finally! we reached an area with many flat and big stones. the sedimentary rocks are really a beauty lor! so neatly stacked. and there are many seashells! as i was picking them, got pple throw snowballs down the slopes lor..dunno purposely or not, but when i look up, no more balls roll down liao. lucky never hit me.
we reached another small beach near the castle. had lunch there then we climbed the stairs to the castle, din pay to go in. we walked round the side towards the lighthouse but the gate is locked so no access to it. we then walked to the human statue with 4 cannons. nice scenery. took some pics then we headed northshields where we had delicious fish and chips. it's really a super big plate. 4.20P. much better than fish and co and obviously the 12plus pounds tea at betty's in york.haha. super full lor. then we proceeded to find the nike factory outlet. there're many other shops there too.. my nike free costs only 40P there! but only light blue la...i still prefer my colour. but my shoe tore abit sobsob...i feel like cutting away the entire pc lor..but well just leave it 1st. saw a very nice puma windbreaker 30P. buy 1 get 1 free for ladies. so it'll be 15P which is still 45 bucks. hmm no..shant buy. i'd buy it if it's nike.
night fell. we asked a woman with 2 kids at the bus stop for directions to the metro station. she said that we've to walk down the street which is the most ruthless part of the area. there was a riot a few years back there. so she kept warning us that if we want to walk, we've to stick together. well it got us abit worried, thinking if we should take bus. but ok nvm..we just walk..haha and i walk super fast till the 2 complained. but i wanted to get off the street asap wat. we found it, nothing happened. we dropped off at jiafang;s stop which is not near his place at all, we walked for a long time be4 reaching. then we stayed over. watched the 2 sisters, which i've seen be4 but well i forgot most of it. as usual. haha
next morning went sainbury's. the stuff so cheap! compared to those in city centre. we went back jf's place for lunch, then we walked back to my place where we made spaghetti..haha we took so long.,.think the pple in the living room must be wondering why cos pasta should be cooked very fast. then we went over to edel's place, drank there be4 gg to the comp cluster. omg so paiseh lor.,..i knocked the drink over into the drawer! really sorry edel.wanted to go casino that night but well..jf dun want to go. it's cold too. so i decide to return to my room while jf stayed over edel's. had 2nd thoughts when i reached the cow field. wondering if pple will come bash me up. cos there were afew incidents reported in that area liao. i slowed down my steps. thinking if i should turn back. while deciding i've reached the main road. so well half the journey gone, might as well. yup i reach safe and sound.
