Chill Out

RESULTS were posted on SPIDER today! Didnt know about it till I saw the msg on Ah Foo's MSN.

Hmmm, I'm OK and quite happy with my results lah. Tho, I didn't pass with flying colours but based on how much effort I've put in for the finals, I think my results were OK. On top of it, since I don't have any expectations (neither do my parents), I'm contented with my results. Speaking about parents, they've never given me any pressure when comes to studies since I was a kid. So nice of them. Kekeke...

I'm sure some of my batchmates are contented with their results as well. Btw, congrats to those who has got distinction!! On the other hand, there are some who are not that happy with their results as they feel that they could have gone one level higher. Till now, I'm not too sure if there's anyone who didn't make it through. Seriously hope that everyone of us could graduate together.

Whatever results u've got, I think everyone seriously needs to chill out. Everything's finally over, or maybe not. Probably our journey has just begun.

Gotta continue packing, ciao everyone!!

ps: the new iced vanilla latte fr Starbucks's really nice. I'M LOVING IT!

Holiday Plan

Waiting, Anticipating, Panicking

How much longer do I have to bear with these kind of feelings. Until next Wednesday perhaps. A big SIGH....

Yeah, I'm not on the VIVA list. So? Did I pass my exam then?

Shall be getting my results by Wed or Thurs i guess. I don't have the guts to check them on SPIDER next week. SIGH...

I'm Freaking Out ...

Dim Sum

Gonna be my last post on food.

Went for dim sum last Sunday at New Loon Fung. They've got the best egg tarts in Glasgow.

My FAV!! Each table were give a plate of egg tarts for FREE! On top of that, we ordered another plate of it!

My FAV as well!

This is quite nice. It's 'pau' with glutinous rice and peanut as the filling.

OK, that's all for today. Sigh, it's raining almost everyday and I'm stucked in my niche again ( "~")

Ramen, anyone?

Wah piang, it's 3 pm right now and I've just woke up an hour ago. Slept at 6 am this morning. My clock has gone haywire. (@@)

Anyway, back to RAMEN. Eunice and I went shopping last Thursday since Debenhams were having massive discounts up to 25% storewide. Each of us managed to buy something lah. Then we headed to Wagamama for ramen.

I tried the miso soup ramen that comes with stir fry chicken with sesame oil and ginger.



Eunice had the Wagamama ramen consists of tofu, roast chicken and prawn.

Verdict: According to Eunice, the 'cha choi' noodle that I cooked taste even better. (I'm damn kembang liau... kekeke)

Overall, it's not that nice lah, the soup is just plain salty.

dum dee dee dum... got CUPCAKES!

Got cupcakes from Acrelaine a.k.a TSM yesterday. Thanks a lot hun!! *muacks muacks*. It's really nice and they were still warm (fresh from the oven wei...). The nuts (i think it's walnut) make the cake taste even better. Btw, HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY to AH FOO!!

Damn 'Nua'

Things that I need to get it done by this week:

1) Pack my stuffs for shipping- my whole room is in a mess right now.
2) Plan our Rome & Spain trip for June.
3) Call O2 to enquire about my phone contract
4) Plan my parents' Edinburgh & London trip
5) Loose weight (this one can't be done by this week lah)

Lunch at New City Palace Restaurant

The restaurant offers set lunches during weekdays for GBP 4.80 which includes a starter and main course that comes with either plain rice or white rice. If u wish to change the rice to fried noodles, u gotta add additional GBP 1.00.


We've chosen orange juice instead of the soup for starter.


Egg Fried Rice...Can't seem to find the egg tho...

Fried noodle with onion and spring onion. Supprisingly, it tasted better than the noodle we 'ta pao' from China Express.

This dish was not bad but I still miss the 'Kung Po' chicken back in M'sia.

My all-time favourite and this one tasted quite nice.

Overall, the food was quite nice.

After lunch, we walked along Buchannan Street and headed to Juiceling and got ourselves one of this:

I think this flavour's called Berry Bomb. It's nice and refreshing. Those with Snapfax should go and try since u are entitled to 'Buy 1 free 1'.

Di Maggio's

Went to Di Maggio's with Sook Theng, Jack, Eunice and Joe for dinner on 9th of May (last exam paper) followed by a movie, Spiderman 3. Here's a peek on the food that we've ordered. We decided to share them so that we could try more.

It's basically spaghetti in tomato sauce with seafood. The taste was OK but it sure has lots of seafood in it. This is recommended.

This consist of parma ham, cheese and rocket (the vege). This is also recommended. Compared to the other italian restaurants' parma pizza, this one is the tastiest!

Lastly, fussili in cream sauce with roast chicken and italian hot sausage. Somehow the taste is not that strong (quite bland) but the sausage is really nice and a lil spicy.

Overall, the food at Di Maggio's was good and the service was great, not to mention the ambience was OK as well.

p.s: For those who have Snapfax, you should give Di Maggio's a try as you are entitled to a 20% discount on total bill. But remember to call up and make reservation and tell them that u'll be using Snapfax in order to be eligible for the discount. Now, back to my drama marathon. Ciao~

Japanese Lunch @ MISO Bar

Went and try the lunches at Miso today. Here are some pics of the food we've ordered.

This is how MISO looks like *_*

My drink- IRN BRU (currently kinda addicted to it)


We shared this for appetizer- not reccomended lah, better order the yakitori on skewer, looks nicer.

Our main course-chicken teriyaki with stir fried rice, salad, fruit salad and prawn cracker.

We also shared the strawberry cheesecake. Verdict- not bad!

UK's K.F.C

Had KFC for dinner.




p.s. UK KFC's don't serve mashed potato tho.... instead they only offer baked beans, coleslaw & corn on cob as side dishes.

B.U.L.L vs C.H.I.C.K.E.N

Sigh, finals in 2 weeks time yet I'm still blur blur. Can't focus on what I'm studying, what more absorbing what I've read. Everyday, I'm just reading for the sake of R.E.A.D.I.N.G, just to tell myself that "I've read something". Gosh~

I miss Brand's chicky essence...it's so expensive over here (1/2 dozen cost about 20-25 pounds, where as in M'sia it's selling for less than RM 30). Hence, decided to try ang moh chicken essence---> RED BULL , lol.

The taste sux! No doubt it makes u feel awake cos it has damn high level of caffeine in it.

Am trying all sorts of alternatives to make myself study more effectively. Sigh, this is bad....

EGG tart, anyone?

OK lah, i really, kinda quite fancy tan (meaning egg in chinese) tart de. Even back in Malaysia, I'll always ask my mum to get it from the morning market or from the restaurant selling dim sum (oooo... dim sum also another one of my favourites). But seriuosly, besides London, don't seem to be able to find any nice/edible tan tart. The worst so far is the one sold by the bakery in Glasgow Chinatown. SUX to the max! The egg custard is so watery.... eeewwww....pui pui.

The next best tan tart I've tasted so far in Glasgow is the one by New Loong Fong (chinese restaurant serving dim sum along Sauchiehall St.). Sadly, they've stopped producing the eggy tarts liau. Always give excuse saying that the oven is not fixed kononnya.

When we went to Manchester, we saw this pleasant-looking bakery near the Chinatown, & told ourselves (Eunice & I): "We must go there before going back to Glasgow."

The tan tarts over there's not bad lah... Here's a glimpse of those beautiful tan tarts that we tumpang Joe to buy (he stopped over at Manchester b4 coming back to Glasgow from London).

from Wong Wong Bakery

1/2 dozen of tan tarts

Closer pic of the eggy tart

1 week of study break G.O.N.E

Went shopping last Thursday with Eunice. Have this urge to get out of the house on Thursdays since it's the 'S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G' day. Didn't buy anything tho, hmmm, choto-mate (a.k.a wait a minute), i think i bought a top fr Mango. OK, every time go out, sure got spend money wan, if not on clothing would be on food. But basically the main purpose of going out on that day was to mail the train tickets (for my parents) to my couz in London & also to get my mum's birthday card (the card is so kawai). After that, we jalan-jalan along buchanan street. Lastly, headed to MISO Bar for dinner. Got ourselves each a chicken bento. Found out that they do have nice lunches with reasonable prices too!! Gotta go there for lunch next time~


Eunice's teriyaki chic comes with stir-fried udon, salad & gyoza (changed to sushi)

Ling's curry chic katsu comes with stir-fry ramen, salad & gyoza (also changed to sushi)

p.s udon taste better than the ramen

A wee look on my mum's Birthday card!!

Sux, it's raining. Thought of going to the library to print out the lecture slides. Sigh, shall go later.
=)
