1st day of my 'unofficial' holiday

yea...this whole week was supposed to be for private study but wth, it's already a holiday to most of us. Some has even started touring while me, sitting in my room waiting for my 'introduction' feedback.. sigh.. SUX!

Anyway, went to the bank to settle my credit card payment with Eunice and after that, i suggested that maybe we shud go n try the HI-TEA at Prices Square. How did we know abt that place? Well, there was once we decided to go n check out the restaurants, cafes n bars over there n we found out this cafe (i cant remember the exact name, i think it's Fifi & Ally, loacted next to Ming's) serves various types of pastries, cakes n sweets that comes in tiers. It's really like those english style hi-tea that comes with muffins, scones n sandwiches as well. Thus, we decided to try. Afternoon tea for two starts fr 2pm till 4pm and it cost 12.95 pounds (minimum).. It was great, the environment is nice for chatting n relaxing.. the delicacies were great as well... a bit expensive but a wonderful experience... kekeke...

In less than 2 weeks

Yes!! That's right, in less than 2 weeks, I've changed my template twice. Meaning, life has been so 'wu liau' for me. Everyone's busy finishing their introduction for the research project. Since my dateline for intro submission was one week earlier, basically i'm the most free wan in my house lah. Damn... Glasgow is so boring. I know I should make full use of the time to start studying, but I seriously got no mood ler. So, the only thing I could do was to watch dramas or movies (but I can hardly find any nice ones to watch!).
After finishing 'Fei Tin', I decided to get the japanese drama from Eunice; Gokusen & Gokusen 2. Didn't watch Gokusen in the end cos it gives me the feeling that that drama was quite old/ long liau (I only watch recent/ modern dramas, I know I'm a weirdo...hehe). Hence, I started watching Gokusen 2. It's basically a drama revolving the life of a bunch of high school students, adopted from a manga. The main actors in this drama were the singers from a j-pop group called Kat-tun. I'm still halfway watching this drama cos the website only has 7 episodes of it. Thus, I'm still waiting for them to upload it. While waiting, I watched another j-dorama called Sapuri via u-tube. It was quite a nice drama talking about the relationship between a young guy with an elder woman.

Summary of my London trip (Part 2)

Day 5:
Went to Canary Wharf where tall skyscrappers are located. It's basically where all the different banks are... Later, we took the train (f.o.c) to GMT (Greenwhich Meridian Timeline).... Had lunch at "Tai Won Mein" which basically serves all sorts of noodles and rice... After that, we walked around Trinity College (yup, the one dealing with music) before we headed up the hill to GMT.

Day 6:
Went to Covent Garden... there were lots of street perormances over there... Tried a very special cookie over there... all the cookie comes with various melted fillings in it (i.e chocolate, peanut butter).... We decided to treat William and Daryn for dinner for their great hospitallity and decided to go for Korean food at Rant. It was marvelous. The thought of it is already mouth-watring. Then went to Thames River since there was festival going on (Thames Festival)... Bumped into Abby, Rosalyn, Aaron, Thomas, Joyce, Anna and the gang.... at the fountain... We got ourselves some beer and walked around trying to get a good spot for the fireworks which is the finale of the festival.

Day 7:
Send Joe off to the bus station at 8am....while Eunice and I left at around 11am via the GNER train....

Oh, here's a peak on our lodging.... according to them, the appartment is worth 3 million pounds!!

Summary of my London trip

Day 1:
Eunice and I took the Virgin train fr Central Station to London Euston. We reached there abt 2pm, waited at Burger King for her friend to pick us up. We end up staying with her friend at 55 Ebury Street, an appartment near Victoria Station. Daryn suggested that we should book the tickets for London Eye online cos the queue is pathetically long. So, we ended up booking the tickets for both Madamme Tussaud n London Eye online. We were told that the guys planned to go clubbing on that night and we've decided to follow. We went out for dinner at a Japanese Restaurant ( i dont know where)... the price was reasonable and the same goes with the taste of the food. After dinner, we went back to the appartment to get changed and left at around 11.30 to Heaven (an undergraound gay/lesbian club- open to public on Mondays). According to Daryn, that's the club with most asians around. We gotta Q for abt 20 mins before we could get in and prior entering, we were being body searched (the body search thingy kinda sux- very thorough). It's a really nice club with 3 different dance floors (trance's the best!!)... 5 bars (chilled out area).... We left at around 5am. Damn tired, slept at around 6am....

Day 2:
Woke up at around 11.30 am, had dim sum for lunch (between 1pm to 4pm, the dim sums are at half price)... The lunch was awesome...Then headed to Oxford Street for SHOPPING!! No pics....

Day 3:
Woke up at 8am, headed to Madamme Tussauds Wax Museum. The crowd wasnt that bad but still difficult to capture pics... We also went for the Chamber Live which is basically where u get scared by the staffs who dressed up as various types of ghosts, appearing in front of u outof no where, scraming at us asking us to run and even pop up behind you with their disgusting breathing... but it was a nice experience. Then, we had lunch at Four Seasons Rest which is famous for their roast duck rice. Next, went to Kensington Palace/Garden & Hyde Park. Had a stroll over there before heading to London Eye.

Day 4:
Went to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of guards (which i personally dont dfind it interesting)...Then walked to Trafalgar Square before heading to Harrods. We had lunch at Patisserie valerie
which is a haven for cake lovers like me. It's located net to Harrods where rich mothers spent their day drinking coffee while enjoying their pasteries.
I met up with my cousin at night for dinner at Royal China and it was awesome.

Speechless

Yup, speechless... wordless... There are definitely times when you feel like there's nothing more that u can say... for instance like happy times or when u r surprised. Have u ever felt so dissapointed till u just cant seem to say a thing about it anymore? Well, that's what i'm experiencing right now.
I'm seriously very dissapointed in u.... after what u've done... i've seen your true colors... not only me, in fact more and more people already knew the real u! FAKE....
I've always hated liars and fakers.... wearing a mask everywhere u go.... trying to potray the very beautiful side of u when deep down inside you are so evil.... cunning... But seems like u've managed to do it really well.... cos people do fall into your trap.

There goes my summer........

Autumn's here and i really missed Summer. Wonder how am i gonna survive through Winter when all i could see thru my window is complete darknest (darn, dont wanna think about it).

Summer has been a tough season for me cos lotsa things had happened. Hectic scheduele and horrible tests (PP3 the killer) filled up 2/3 of my summer. Summer has been a season full of tears, joy, laughter, mixture of ups and downs. Oh yes, and not to forget, that was the time when i got admitted to the hospital for the first time in my life!! (i surely know how to make use of the NHS, dont i??) Gotta really thanked my housmates particulary EUNICE for all the hastle back then. When most of our batchmates were busy preparing for the PP3 exam, i was lying still on the bed of the Royal Infirmary and housemates gotta come and accompany me the whole day. THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS! and not to forget, thanks for all the sms-es from some of u!! thank god that my housemates and i managed to passed PP3 despite the amount of time we used to study or i would certainly feel guilty if anyone of us didnt make it thru.

so, my last 1/3 of the summer was awesome and i really missed it. we might probably be the last few ones to come out with a holiday plan but it was great tho! first, we headed off to edinburgh for the fireworks (marking the end of edinburgh festival). i could still remember the moment i stepped into princes street, i fell in love with it and began to tell myself that glasgow sux. (unfortunately, i'm stucked here for another 1 year) The next day, we headed of to the Highlands. Great experience i would say, my first time climbing up hills, rocks and mountains.

The following week, we went to London. Theng and Jack stayed in a Uni Hostel while Joe, Eunice and I stayed at Will's place (Eunice's friend). Oh, we got to know Daryn, the neighbour cum tour guide. They (Will + Daryn) brought us around the whole of London (well, almost the whole of it). I missed the view and the food there. GREAT PLACE, GREAT FOOD, GREAT COMPANY!! that kinda sums up my London trip. Double thumbs up!!!

p.s. pictures will be up soon.......

PP3

Just got my PP3 results... only 14 out of 101 got exempted and i'm one of the 87 ones...
I know i shouldnt feel sad even if i'm not exempted cause, hello... only 14 of them got it.... so, dont expect too much...
But what i'm really sad of it's because most of my friends failed this exam because they got the prescription illegal... They didn't write 'for use in my own practice' on the prescription to make it legal.... but, hey! i did...., i wrote that.... my prescription was legal... i didnt do big mistakes that unable me to get exempted...
i guess the reason why i felt sad was because this paper was way much easier compared to the previous two and it was a good opportunity to do well and get exmpted, but unfortunately i missed it....this actually means that our final degree paper would be much tougher and in addition to that, i need to score higher marks in order to just pass this whole PP3 thingy since i've loss 15% during the first two class tests and i screwed up my video exam as well....

2 important bring home message to myself today:
(a) i should be happy with my PP3 marks cause i've improved (from -190 to -115 to 50)
(b) i need to work harder for my coming PP3 degree exam cos i need at least 75 marks from that paper itself to pass the whole PP3 subject

p.s: congratulations to those who have been exempted!!!

Video Role Play

Crap... no one's blogging nowadays except for me.... Creepy, everyone seems to be busy studying..... Yesterday nite was the first time i did notes for my role play....

Happy Birthday Sook Theng

It was her birthday yesterday, so we've decided to treat her out for dinner. Went to Counting House and when we reached there only did we realise that it's the same restaurant as the one we've tried before (a.k.a Wetherspoon) just different name.... Since we've already reached there, decided to just dine there... Don't wanna waste our time and our brain cells thinking of where else to go.

1st cocktail: gReeN LaGoon- Smirnoff Vodka+ Melon liqueur+lime cordial+lemonade

2nd cocktail: mAi tAi- Havana Club+Lamb's Navy Rum+ pineapple juice+orange juice

3rd cocktail: bLue LAgoon-Smirnoff Vodka+Blue Curracao+lime cordial+lemonade

My Skin is Gone

My blog skin is gone.....

I've got no one to turn to......

......... not even you......not even my blog......

12 am

yup, it's 12 am right now... supposed to sleep early so that i can study tomorrow... but look what am i doing right now... blogging, listening to the japan radio via iTunes (introduced by Yee Huey), looking at ebay (introduced by Mike who's turning me into a shopaholic) and watching TVB series (influenced by Sook Theng).....sigh, look what happened to me!!

by the way, good luck Jackline on your PP3 test tomorrow (or rather today).... hehe.. ALL THE BEST!!
P.s: i shall go to your room on Mon, i may need your shoulder to c_y on.... =)
GAMBATE!!

140 is all i need....

got back our PP3 results this morning... got -190... yup that's a negative sign in front...
in order to pass, i need 50% n above and if my calculation is correct, i will need another 140 marks in order to pass....
so, we're having our second PP3 test on Monday.... i know i need to brush up cos the 140 marks won't come to me just like that... but, how?
every failure would only dampen my confidence unlike others who takes it as a driving force to do better for the next...
feeling awfully down today, i thought i've got over with my PP3 results, or haven't i?

p.s: thankx Eunice for doing everything today... she cooked, washed the dishes, vacuumned my room and even folded my clothings for me... a big **hug** from me to u!!
your my bestest buddy n housemate!!
i.o.u 1 Mc Donald Summer Burger.... hehehe

"K S" Syndrome

most of my frens (including myself) r suffering from "K S" Syndrome... this syndrome peaks at certain hours depending on the individual... some maybe at the extreme state at about 5 pm (that's most of our peak hour), while some suffers it after dinner ... this syndrome makes us feel like singing & screaming (but can't, cos may get complains from our neighbours).....until this moment no cure has been found for this syndrome (HELP!!!)....

introducing, the latest & hottest syndrome suffered by some of the residence of J9 ........

......"KI SIAU" SYNDROME.....

ice cream

Bought at co-op.... 2 for 3 pounds.... took the vanilla n mint flavour.... finished the vanilla one before i could even take the pic....rght now, our current fav is the Sneakers ice cream...

it's food again

couldn't resist to stop blogging about food.... our very first chicken curry (or rather 'sambal')....
we had 'Ayam Masak Merah' n stir fried cabbage for dinner today...




p.s: the chicken was cooked by eunice n i did the veg....(",)

enough of food blogging...

realised that i've been blogging or rather posting pics on those food that i've had ever since coming to Glasgow.... probably because food was my main concern... i love eating and i can't leave without food (who can anway?)
so, got our results for our PP3.. as expected, failed.... what i'm more concern is the negative integer on my paper...i'm already all prepared for that failure but i just wanna know how badly have i done....
although it's just a class test, it's also my first failure....
few more class tests coming... haven't finish studying yet... dunno y but i can't seem to concentrate whenever i try to study in my room.... maybe should try going to the library... probably the 'feng shui' in my room isn't that good since it's directly facing the bathroom...(wat an excuse... wahaha)
gotta 'gambate' n try to study...

p;s: need to thank my fellow batchmates who managed to postpone the FMT 2 class test, tho that doesn't mean i can finish studying in time, but at least there's still some time left for me to TRY n finish reading the whole book.... hehe...

food

This was my lunch yesterday, prepared by Eunice.... Thanks Eunice!

Yesterday's dinner, ABC soup.... Had too much of potato till i dont think i can have anymore potato till one month later

Today's dinner... Fish, sausages and nuggets.... and some salad just to finish our tomatoes and carrots....

liNg mug....

My Lunch...

haven't had rice for almost a week, so this morning i gave Eunice a call and suggested that we have fried rice for lunch and probably dinner as well... since we've bought the tupperware, we thought trying it out to cook rice....So, we ended up having Tuna Fried Rice in Chili Oil and onion omlette...

Highly Recommended

If u are cooking rice for u yourself or probably only 2 of u, and u don't feel like using the rice cooker because of the hastle in washing it, then why not try this microwavable tupperware!
For only 1 pound, u can get ur rice cook in less then twenty minutes.

My Room

Some pics of my room....







my lovely bed... love the duvet cover a lot... it's from my Mum... according to her, those are her love and hearts for me....

Breakfast in Glasgow

2 types:
(a) when i'm up early this is what i have.....

(b) when i'm not that early or close to late....

1st Mc D and Borders

had our first Mc D meal last Saturday at Buchanan Street... a normal value meal of regular size costs 3.29 pounds (which is basically what i paid).... had a Mc Chicken... theirs is different from the ones we had in Malaysia.... their chicken patty is kinda elongated making it an oval shape instead of round.

first buy from Borders: 2 bookmarks for 1.50 pound and coloured pens for 3.00 pound.

i just couldn't resist......

West End Festival

went to the West End Festival last Sun... seriously, i don't know what's that festival all about.. but here are some pics of the event... and more to come....

look at the crowd!!
CANDY FLOSS!!! haven't had that for ages!!




So CUTE!!! the 3 of them...... lol
