2 more days to go

I'm actually doing some 'touch up' for my coursework now and the brain got jammed halfway. So I'm here updating blog instead. haha Autumn semester has basically almost over.. I'm saying almost over cause I still have another dispensing class tomorrow afternoon =( and other people might enjoying their holidays already! Well, the point is.. House 28 is going to London this weekend!!! hahaha I've always heard bout London eversince i was young... but never ever thought that one day I'll get the chance to explore it myself! We'll be departing on Saturday morning and staying over at a youth hostel for 3 nights. Hopefully the weather is on our side and everything will be fine. =)

On a side note, Dear and I made it to Birmingham last weekend and we SUPER LIKE it there! haha <3 the environment and the food. And Birmingham citizen are sooooo 'hang fuk' lo. They got markets selling fresh fruits, meats and seafoods! Damn nice la.. unlike Nottingham. Now Nottingham really becoming more kampung in our heart d. Sweat la. The plan to Birmingham was actually a really last minute decision cause we were suppose to be in Lincoln but who knows the Christmas Market there got cancelled!! Apparently the city council decided to cancel it off due to the heavy snow in Lincoln and its not really safe to have such a big event this year. I'm sooo disappointed cause Lincoln was said to have the best Christmas Market but the last minute detour to Birmingham compensate the loss wells. haha

It was really foggy that morning and the view from the train proves it! I've quickly packed a small muffin as our snack on board and altho I've said this many times...Sainsbury muffin taste damn nice lo! We reached Birmingham and it started to have light shower. *gosh* Luckily Dear remind me to bring an umbrella. But umbrella doesn't help much cause it was really really cold and wet!

We were supposed to have our lunch first but since we're walking away from Chinatown and towards the Market instead, we decided give the market a tour first. hehe And to prevent our tummy from 'suffering' we got ourselves some German sausages. hehe

Altho it might look simple, but it definitely taste good! The sausage skin was actually crunchy the moment you bite into it and the topping of pickles and crispy fried shallots really make a perfect combination!! Not to forget the mustard and the ketchup sauce as well. *winks*

Lots of things to be explore in the market and it's really worth spending time there. The only this which is I dislike is the rainy weather. It makes me shiver and my fingers are literally frozen. So after a while, when the cold has really reached our limit, we finally gave up and search for our lunch stop = Malaysian Delight. It was really obvious, just across the main road when you're coming from the Indoor Market.

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone out there who misses Malaysian food. We ordered char kueh tiaw and my favourite vinegar trotter!!! I have always wanted to eat that so badly and I get to have it here! Sooo happy! =) Dear was like flipping through the menu and deciding to order another dish. I guess he must have forgotten about his porky so I asked him why he didn't order that. hahaha and his reaction  was like.. omg.. i totally forgot.. which page in the menu it is? ==''

We went to the chinese supermarket next door and they sell like all sort of chinese ingredients that you would wish for! How i wish i'm staying in Birmingham instead. haha Oh ya, the bitter gourds in UK are either small, little ones or damn damn damn expensive!! almost 8 pound for 1kg? that's like RM40 where I can get like RM4-5 back at home. aiyoyo.

After that we went shopping at Bull Ring Mall and went back to the Christmas market again. To get some souvenirs. We glad that we left Birmingham early cause there were like sooo many people at the train station and I would not want to risk having my train delay and stranded at the train station for a night. Cause that's what I've read from the news k.. not that I'm panaroid. haha But Birmingham.. I'll definitely visit you again cause there's more to be explore.. most probably after exam la. haha

Mr Snowman

I woke up around 8.30 this morning.. looked out the window... wheeeee!!! perfect condition for making our first snowman!! hahah freshen up, wore thicker coats and gloves and off we go to our backyard for our first snowman!! haha

It has been snowing for a few days now and the amount of snow layering our backyard is just in the right amount to make a little snowman. haha It's pretty cold out there and our fingers start to feel numb but that doesnt stop us from completing our MISSION!!! So, as the end results... here's our SNOWMAN!

He's cute isn't he? haha <3

SNOW!!!

I woke up this morning and guess what i saw!!!! *well, actually is dear saw it first.. but who cares! XP*

It snowed!!! OMG! First time in my life i see snows.. damn sakai wei.. but nvm bout that. hahaha some of my friends even wake up 3 in the morning just to see it snowing. hahhaha I'll have another few more pretty polaroids shot added to my collection soon!!! wheee <3

A twist of York

I'm sooooo tired after my first visit this sem. I was allocated to a Family Medical Center and I must say, I've learned a lot from there. I've finally understood how the whole health care system works here in the UK. And not being able to focus on my revision now, cause my brain was deep fried the whole day, blogging would be a better idea. hehehe

York is on further North from our place and i should have blogged bout this like few weeks ago, but i don't even bother on doing so. =p We followed tour groups organized by the city council themselves cause it's reasonable and easier. So we went to the famous York Minster and indeed it's really beautiful inside out. We're really glad that the weather is on our side. Perfect day for taking photos.

I noticed this old man sitting just across the street from the Minster and he was playing some odd musical instrument. But it was really nice hearing the melody. Of course the red jacket that he's wearing make him stands out in the whole picture.

We did some research and found out that York has the largest railway museum in the whole world!!! and I couldn't have agreed more. It was worth spending some time there although we didn't really manage to finish visiting the whole museum. Blame the limited time we have! XD

Well, guess what! The train which they use to filmed Harry Potter the movie was also being displayed in the museum!!! Of course, there's many many more type of trains that you can see there. From the older centuries to the latest high tech built bullet trains. You can even get to see the servicing process in the museum itself.

So after the railway museum, we explored the city and took some random photos. Apparently, the Food and Drink Festival was going on and we get to feast our eyes and smell buds with lots and lots of different foods which are sold!

As we have failed to resist the temptations, dear and I got ourselves a giant cupcake from one of the stores. And it taste sooooooo goood!!!!! But seriously, i don't recommend to have this type of indulgence too often; as you may eventually got yourself a DM sooner or later. LOL So that's roughly bout York. Oxford trip would be the next one coming up.

 I need to finish up my Chemical Modeling report now. So till next time. Cheers~ <3

Poison or Remedy

I remembered clearly this quote from my lecture this morning. It says;

''Every substance in this world is POISON. It is the RIGHT dosage which differentiate poisons from remedies''

which i personally think is sooooo true!! Getting the right dosage to our patients is really a big big responsibilities for us and one small error, could turn the whole remedy into a poison. Ah... it's so inspiring. Anyway, I'm just dropping for some short update again. My oven roast potatoes are gonna be due soon and we're having ribs tonight. ehehehhe So ta-ta! 

It's 8 Degree tonight

My room is freeeezing even with the heater on. Can you imagine that. I'm wearing 3 layers of clothes and still it's insufficient. Omg, how am i gonna survive winter. I'm having my first exam tomorrow, and hopefully I've got what it needs for me to get through. Bbrrrrrrr... I think I'm going to have a hot shower now before dinner. Adios till the next time. *shivers*

Eeeee-yore

EEEE-YORE! Guess who's Muffin new companion???? A giant eeee-yore we won from Goose Fair! hahahaha well, technically is dear won, but prize is mine! LOL I'll definitely visit Goose Fair again next year cause is X100 times or maybe x10000000 times better than our fun fair in Malaysia. There were so many rides and games and not to forget food stalls too!!

Merry go round.. one of the less 'thrilling' rides. hahahah And it's really pwwweeetttyy. <3 Spend about 2 hours plus there and reach home bout 11pm. We've never ever went out till so late here in the UK and usually we'll be asleep by that time already. haha

So it's Saturday again, and I've just baked a lagsana for Dear. Cause he's being so sweet to win an eeyore for me *p/s altho i keep eyeing the me-to-you teddy* LOL Anyway, lasagna was a bit water-ish at first... but after it started to set it looked just nice. hehe I've bought some oriental ingredients so that we can have more of chinese meal here and eventually reduce our home-food-sickness. hehe I think i'm just going to stop here, need to spend some time to upload photos into fb. =p

Oh ya, in case you guys wondering who's Muffin.

Ta-da! that's him <3<3<3 and I <3 him so much! hahahah
