Peps arrived with her uni friends to London to start off their 2 months Europe trip. They arrived on Thursday afternoon but we decided to meet up tonight so I can take them out to dinner and Di's birthday drinks.
K's bag got stolen while she was trying on shoes at Clarks today. For some reason, she had all her euro and pound money in the one bag along with her passport and credit cards!! They spent more than 2 hours at the police station. She was totally devastated so some of the girls decided to skip dinner and go back to their apartment to rest up.
This incident really illiterates the need to be extra careful of your bag while going out in London or in any other country!! You should never carry that much cash with you. And if so, you should split up the money or use a money belt. I guess for K it is a big lesson learnt and definitely an unlucky start to her holiday. She needs to rush to the Australian embassy on Monday to get an emergency passport. Hopefully everything goes well for her on Monday.
In the end, I had dinner with Peps, G and Ning at an Indian restaurant in Holborn called Sitaaray. Suggested by Amit, it is unlimited set menu of kebabs and curries. The interior design was quite cool. A lot of photos of Bollywood film stars and movie posters. We were lucky enough to get allocated a private seating on the top level.
We had a good time catching up while slowly chewing on our food. They brought out a lot of food... meats, starters, nann bread and etc... we were so stuffed by the end of it and then the waitress comes along to tell us that there is more food... the mains!! Curries!! ahhh... we were so surprised cuz we thought everything came out already.
We asked them to bring out a small portion of rice and curry for us to try. We didn't really touch it but I managed to try some to see what it tastes like.
We quickly left the restaurant so we could rush to get to Loop Bar before 10pm for free entry. We made it just in time but my gosh, this place was packed with so many. So hard to find an area to talk or dance and not get bumped into...
I think we were all very full from dinner so we couldn't really drink a lot. The girls left early and I stayed around for a bit longer but started to feel tired. I wasn't in the mood to get tipsy and dance so PJ and I caught the last train home.
