map of the metro
scene 1 : ~ 11am @ gateshead stadium
omi arrives only to find that winter, azzy, jen, jian and lena have yet to show. takes out hp to call winter who lives nearby, turns around and ta-da! winter arrives! :)
omi is informed that lena wouldn't be joining as she is down with fever and flu.
[hope u're feeling better edii dear lena!!!]
winter calls jian and finds out that they are arriving soon at gateshead stadium. rushes down to the side of the tracks with omi and gets onto the last carriage of the metro, just in time... meeting jian, jen and azzy.
scene 2 : ~ 12noon @ sunderland
after an uneventful ride on the metro (unfortunately... was hoping for amos brown and peter mitchell to alight!!! *hehehehe*), the adventurous 5 arrived at sunderland and somehow roamed into the bridges, sunderland's mall...
l-r : the bridges, in gap's fitting room... acck! pregnant woman!!!
... where the girls did a lil' shopping at republic and gap! errm, and azzy too!
eventually grew hungry and the 5 begin their search for lunch, no fastfood... only to end up in front of kfc and burger king! ;p
a toss of a penny led them into burger king where they filled their starving tummies.
after having their fill...
(especially jian who had a set meal of medium bacon double cheese AND a double cheese tex mex!!!)
... the 5 continued their adventures in sunderland walking here and walking there. found that primark in sunderland looks better than the one on northumberland street, with slightly more choices to choose from. eventually ended up on john street, where a lot of solicitors' offices are located... and at the end of the street was the county court of sunderland and nearby, a tall glass building - sunderland's winter gardens, and also mowbray park and a lil' museum.
clockwise l-r : the winter gardens, short history of winter gardens, view of the winter garden from mowbray park, view of mowbray park from winter garden.
various shots of the winter gardens...
clockwise l-r : the girls, the 5, the girls again, the 5 up to some mischief... :)
a flowerbed in mowbray gardens...gorgeous!
the top of a gazebo which had a quote... can't remember... something to do with "... lion, purr like iron, ... the orion"
iron purrs???
the 5 then ventured back into the bridges, for no reason whatsoever... and eventually deciding that they had enough of sunderland for the day, put their hands and feet together making a star, and chanted "the beach the beach the beach"...
... and they teleported to the beach!!! :)
*ahaHAAhahaa* if u believed that, u must be really crazy... :D
actually, the 5 hopped back onto the metro and thus begins scene 3.
scene 3 : ~ 5pm @ various locations
riding the metro, the 5 were looking really weary and so they decided to part ways. winter got off at gateshead stadium, which she nearly missed, and went home. once home, she changed into t-shirt and comfy pants, removed everything from her bag, went to the loo, washed and freshened up, returned into her room, sat down and turned on her laptop.
meanwhile, omi, jen, azzy and jian continued on to monument where omi got off and from there, went to her bus stop... onli to miss her bus by a minute and thus, had to wait for 20mins for the next one.
jen, azzy and jian got off at jesmond and walked halfway home when they decided to make full use of their daytravel metro ticket and go to tynemouth. jian then calls winter, who had just turned on her laptop, and informs her of the plan. whilst winter begins scrambling to get dressed and catch the metro to monument, he then calls omi, who had to walk back from her bus stop to metro station.
whilst waiting for winter, the 4 met at monument and saw a familiar lecturer walk past them and down to the station. meanwhile, winter ran from her house to the metro station just in time to catch a metro heading towards monument. arriving at monument, she runs up the long escalator to the top meeting the 4 who were waiting for her.
together again, the 5 then caught the metro to tynemouth.
scene 4 : ~ 6pm at tynemouth
winter notices someone looking kinda funny at her and decides to take no notice of it. until azzy mentioned that he saw familiar lecturer. the 5 then kinda 'followed' familiar lecturer until the entrance of the metro station. familiar lecturer then turned right whilst the 5 turned left.
while walking towards the town of tynemouth, the 5 discussed quite loudly on what familiar lecturer was doing alone and dressed in very casual. someone mentioned not to talk so loudly just in case familiar lecturer happens to meet them/overhear them, when... to their horror and surprise, familiar lecturer crosses the street on their right!!! the 5 then resumed their 'stalking' of familiar lecturer up until the outside of a pub. familiar lecturer walks into the alley, looks behind and enters a door. causing the 5 to ponder and to puzzle over what familiar lecturer was doing!!! and the 5 are STILL wondering today... :p
the 5 continued on their way towards tynemouth beach...
... and was greeted with strong blasts of cold, salty wind as they neared the coast. they walked towards the direction of the lighthouse...
the priory was a fortress a long time ago...
the lighthouse in the distance
...only to find that the path to the lighthouse was closed. but the 5 did get to enjoy the wonderfully cold seabreeze which reminded them of home, with the exception of the cold! :)
various shots
the 5 enjoyed a leisurely walk along the stretch of the coast... with sand entering shoes and jen avoiding dogs... whilst shivering from the cold!!! eventually the 5 grew hungry and thus began the search for dinner... found an indian restaurant located near cullercoats metro station, but was told that they had to wait an hour whereby they decided to return to newcastle city centre for dinner.
scene 5 : ~ 8pm at monument
arriving at monument, the 5 walked down the street towards the quayside in search of indian cuisine... onli discovering that nasi briyani costs sooo much more than in khan's in london. :(
still starving and craving indian food (sick of chinese edi), the 5 then boarded the metro to jesmond...
scene 6 : jesmond
heading to the restaurant which from the outside looks like part of a train when the 5 was hit with a waft of delicious indian food causing them to grow hungrier. arriving at the restaurant, the 5 discovered that it costs even more than the restaurants in the city centre.
tired and hungry.
luckily, spices was nearby... and although looking rather high-class and posh, the prices were cheaper than all the other places they had looked at. 3 lamb curry nasi briyani and 2 chicken curry nasi briyani was soon ordered...
yummylicious... but could it be becos we were starving???
...full and tired, the 5 then ended their day at azzy, jen and jian's house onli to part the next day at about 4pm.
omg!!! a full day plus 5 hours!!! :)
- the end -
i'm exhausted and tired edii... :p
time for bed... g'nights!!!
