To go or Nott to go.

Hmm.. haloween's tomorrow night.. Should I go to Nottingham for the Notts games or stay in Glasgow to study. PP2 test is on tuesday. Help!

Edin-brrrrr

So last Saturday.. I went to Edinburgh. And the night before, I had only an hour of sleep. Imagine just coming home around 4-5 in the morning, waking up at 6 30 am to shower and getting ready.

Boy it really felt sucky walking around the entire day feeling extremely cold, tired and hungry. The weather was terrible. Extremely wet and windy. Bad combination brrrr.

Its my fault anyway for not planning my time properly.

However, the trip wasnt too bad. I expected more though since everyone mentioned that Edinburgh was reallly beauuuutiful with all the castles and stuff.

It was. But I'm more of a city kinda girl. Shopping. Sorreeh.

At St. Andrew Bus Station. Edinburgh is just an hour away from Glasgow so it wasnt too bad.

Isnt it beautiful! Somehow it gave me this ancient days kinda feeling. Like rome.

Face cannot make it.

We were kinda lost in the city, using maps and gps via blackberry.

First stop was The Scotch Whisky Experience which was actually a whisky distillation place.

Their collection of whiskys were endless. A whisky drinker would die to be there. Single malt. But im not into whiskys so yeah.

Next up was the Edinburgh Castle.

A huge let down for me cos I heard about it so much from other people saying that its amazing and all but unfortunately, it wasnt that interesting.

The view was amazing though!

We left after an hour. Bored and cold as hell.

The streets of Edinburgh.

To kill more time, we went to this optical illusion place which was 5 stories high called camera oscura. Was pretty entertaining though with loads of stuff to play with.

And as for dinner..

(this is the best part)



.. I had ROAST DUCK AND ROAST PORK.

It wasnt great but dude, it made my day.

Peking duck muahahahahahaa.

Ok-aay. What has UK done to me.

Overall, it wasnt such a bad trip but I've made my own conclusion that Glasgow is my FAVOURITE city in scotland.

The end :)

Somebody call 911. FIreeee!

Since its my first year over here, I'm staying in the student halls.

And boy, there's certain things were are soooo annoying.

Like even on a weekday night, you can hear people screaming outside the windows, drunk.

They party almost every freaking day.

And just today, we had a housekeeping inspection. They are so strict and if we failed the test, we would be fine 30 pounds each. So us girls at Flat F4 had a spring cleaning day!

My room is all clean and tidy now (its rare but yeah, it is!) and for the first time ever, the kitchen floor is not sticky and gooeyy =D

But the worst part of all is, the stupid fire alarm is soooo sensitive. It rings so often that no one even cares. What if one day there is a real fire. Its just like the boy who cried woof and no one takes him seriously. =O

Like just last week, the fire alarm in the next block was activated and everyone had to run out of their flats.


The fireman came in 5 minutes and I had to run out in shorts, pausing my karaoke session with my housemates.

As expected, there were no fire.

Strathclyde uni was even in the front page of the newspaper a few weeks back fr having the highest number false fire alarm.

Gah. FML

Negaraku.

I was out one night talking to this scottish guy and I was explaining to him that I'm from Malaysia and that I'm chinese. He was like, "Oh but you just said that you're from Malaysia, how can you be chinese?"

Damn swt.

Being chinese doesnt mean that you have to be from China. Well, maybe my ancestors were.



Then he went on asking what language do we speak and all.

So again, I told him about our multi culture races- Indian, Chinese, Malay and.. the OTHERS. lol.


Every bar here closes at 12 midnight so we had to adjourn to another place (the only places open here after 12 are just the clubs)

There are no mamaks here. No maggi mee goreng. No tosai. No roti canai.

Then it hit me.

I miss Malaysia.

Its one of the rare places where all races live together in harmony (or so we claim)

I miss the range of food back home (and its price range)

I miss THE SUN.

The weather topic over here is a popular one. It usually goes like, "ITS COLD!!! And it will only get worse."


Damn. I want to eat pan mee now =(

I'll be everything you need.

Havent been using my camera lately so I'm stealing pictures of Facebook. I'm a lazy bum i know!

This was taken by Kenneth when we were sending him off to the Buchanan Station back to Cardiff. He traveled a total of about 24 hours just for Grace! Aww.


So last week was Adrian's and one of my senior's birthday.

Went to a O2 couture. Cool name for a club huh!

As for this week, it was Melissa's birthday..

All of us MQs were invited for her surprise party. And I guess this time, it was more of a success =D

Me and the birthday girl

All waiting for FOOOOD...

It was pot luck, meaning everyone should bring a dish and whit, grace, tracy and I made Caesar Salad with chicken =D

AND not forgetting, it was Tracy's birthday yesterday as well.

So sorry babe for not being home at 12 midnight. I would have cancel my plans if I knew about it earlier.

Hope you had a blast on your birthday. Love ya! xx


I realised that I dont blog about my personal stuffs anymore. I guess I'm more of a private person. And besides, I might never know who is reading my blog. But its okay, my close friends know everything. Conference on skype =P





Got back from Edinburgh yesterday. Will blog more about it soon =D

Sweet Dreams.

Every week, there's somebody birthday.

No seriously.

Last week, it was Kelvin's birthday.

His friends gave him a surprise dinner and invited us. Damn paiseh, everyone cooked so much and all we brought was a present and a cake.

After dinner, we played mafia. I was was the ordinary citizen. Hmph.



And after the game, all four of us became clowns. They asked us to sing chinese songs (we're bananas) while listening to the iphone and they were supposed to guess what song we're singing. Its something like the Hong Kong game show called Super, where africans were given headphones and were supposed to sing according to the song which is played through the headphone. In this scenario, we were the africans.

Found some random pics which were taken weeks back.

Its autumn now. Cold as hell. I wonder how would winter be like.

In the park opposite Glasgow University.

I find this picture so cute!

Nothing much is going on right now. So busy with work. Its getting really stressful. Gah. PP3 and PP2. Total bullshit.

Might be going to edinburgh next weekend =D

Run this town tonight..

So much things to do, so little time!

I promise I'll update reallll soon!! Hopefully tomorrow since wed I have no classes =D

Dammmn I wish that there's more hours in a day.

From doing laundry to washing dish, cooking, ironing, cleaning my room to folding my clothes.

Omgggg to add salt to the wound, I have to freaking read the Medicine, Ethics and Practise guide as well as the damn BNF for class tmr. Its utterly boring and boring and boring.

Where's KAKAK T____T

I was craving for asian food..

.. So i went to a Japanese restaurant near by called Saporo Tempura or something along that line.

Us girls with kenneth since he came all the way from Cardiff just for grace =D

The chefs originated from Thailand and I guess they were trained to entertain us with their silly antics such as juggling eggs, throwing potatoes into people's mouth and flipping plates.


It was my first proper meal outside in a nice restaurant. Since I've been erm.. not spending as much money as the previous weeks, I decided that it was time for some pampering.





Can you guess how much my dish cost?? T___T

120 ringgit for this. wtf. I could have eaten a buffet at Shangrilaa.

Oh well. Finally. A night which I need not wash dishes or cook.

I long to be servedddddd.

After dinner, we met up with ben, adrian and simba and went to The Ark which was a pub.

In glasgow, there's a club or a pub a stone throw away. Its crazy. Who cares about Friday or Thursday night. It's packed everynight!

Next destination was Bamboo since the architecture students gave us a call.

Bamboo is quite a happening club here with 3/4 rooms unlike Malaysia where its small and packed with kam yu lou.

Grace and Kenneth.

Was really a tiring night. Walking from room to room. I was actually wearing a bf tee and a skirt which I wore to class during the day. Paiseh.

Oh man. I'm so sick now. Once I get sick, it gets really serious. Daym.
