Flash back

Laziness has totally eaten me up =(, every time when I wanted to do something it would end up slacking and time wasted. Definitely need more determination =S.

Updates updates~

Like the Halloween dinner we had last time, we had another one for our Christmas Dinner, it was my first time celebrating Christmas. I pictured a white Christmas with making snowman experience before arriving Glasgow, apparently the weather for this year is warmer (it is still COLD for me ><) and it had only snowed for 2 days in Glasgow and that was before Christmas. 

Menu of our Christmas dinner:

Roast Turkey, Mashed Potato, Vegetables Salad, Gingerbread man cookies, Mushroom soup, some ready-made fried food,Tiramisu cake and some alcohos. =P

Some pictures here

Roast turkey by master-serene.tasted superb

My first try of making mashed potato, was satisfied with the outcome =)

Had some fun in decorating the cookies

We exchanged gifts with each other =)

My cute X'mas gift from Kai Chi.

We had some games after the dinner and had the craziest punishment. Awesome night for us. =). The super random us even had pan mee as our supper for that night. =P

The day after Christmas was Boxing Day, a shopping day for us!XD We headed to city to shop as most branded stores had SALE for that day, you can really get some super cheap yet branded stuffs on that day. Nevertheless, still need to control my budget. My purse would be yelling at me again =P.

That’s what I’ve bought =P

It was considered as a last-minute decision, I have visited Edinburgh for second time to celebrate New Year. Coincidentally, the JPA and MARA students meeting with Dato’ Seri  Mohamed Nazri  Abdul Aziz was at Edinburgh too so I’ve attended. It was a pleasant meeting.

On New Year ’s Eve, we have joined the Edinburgh Hogmanay Street Party. There were live stage performances and concert. It was super crowded and everyone was so excited for the countdown. I even witness a proposal with a paper-made ring just in front of us and the girl was so happy.  The pity part of being short is that I could not see the performance most of the time as I’m too easy to be blocked by others.><

I have spent my last minute of 2011 with Sze Yee. We were separated from others as sze yee was not feeling well and we have went in to the first aid room set up in a church (a new experience for me). I can hardly feel anything when the countdown started and ended with the fireworks. My mind was blank at that moment. Heart was whispering:  “this isn’t real, 2011 is too rapid, I haven’t prepare for 2012 yet!” ><.

Happy 2012!

I should be bundled up with fear and determination. =/

Well, last words for this post

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012 =)

Hope all of you would have a great year ahead and take care always.

23rd Birthday

2011, 22^nd of November, the day I turned 23. I wanted to write something about this but there are always stuffs which drag me on starting a post for it.=P

Somehow, I knew, perhaps I am sensitive to “surprises”. This sounds cocky but I did notice that two of my dear housemates “disappeared” the day before my birthday. =P.  I did prepare for the “12 am surprise” like what we usually did during other friends’ birthdays. However, when the time almost struck 12am., I thought that maybe my housemates (and maybe a few more of the close ones) will just pop out and give me simple wishes. It wasn’t till I opened the door through my kitchen that I stunned for few seconds as I was really surprise that so many of my friends came to wish me. I was truly warmed by all of you who made an effort to come. It’s been long time which I hadn’t have such a big group for my birthday celebration.=D. Thanks for all who took the trouble to make a visit to my place. Really appreciate it.

Thank you everyone =)

 

The birthday cake was really AWESOME!!!!!!(miss the taste now XD). Thanks to Visha, Kai Chi, Ying Sin and Qian Hui for this delicious cake. You girls know I love cheese and chocolate don’t you?=)  Later later then the reason of their disappearance unfold->to make my birthday cake.=).*touching* Love you girls lots.

Chocolate cheese cake~deliciousssssss~

I received a really nicely “wrapped” present.=D. Qian Hui knows the best, my preference and favourites for gifts with nice box. =P. Viewing the box already make me happy before opening the present. (sounds like you can just give me a super duper nice gift box with nothing inside and I’ll still be very happy XD). Well, I was kinda surprised that you girls bought me a bag from Guess as I never really favour  that brand, not to say that I dislike (NEVER dislike it), just that it won’t cross my mind if I’m getting a bag for myself. But it is REALLY NICE. I LIKE it!=D. Special thanks to those who bought me this-> Qian Hui. Kai Chi, Ying Sin, Serene, Sze Yee, Daniel. Kelly, Jyun,Yling, Mun Yee, Sophia, Woon Chit and Siew Chui. Thank you all of you. =) . Thanks for the bag and the limited edition sweet. XD. Here’s the picture.

The limited edition sweet =)

A special thing to be in UK for birthday is that the time zone difference between here and Malaysia. It makes me feel like my birthday began on 21^st of Nov at 4pm here as it was 22^nd at 12am in Malaysia. With all the wishes from far, be in text messages, fb messages, msn or skype, I was having pre-birthday mood due to the time zone difference. XD. But the great thing is when it tuned 23^rd in Malaysia, I was still enjoying my birthday here.lol..XD

We had Chinese cuisine during Qian Hui’s birthday in October, so this time we’ve decided (or I have decided =P) to go for Japanese food. I was kinda craving for Japanese food since I hadn’t taste one after reaching Glasgow (I MISS sushi zanmai~~>.<). We went to a Japanese restaurant called Nana Kusa (I wrongly called it as Nana Sakura XD) and had my 1^st Japanese meal here.=). Unagi, tempura, miso soup and sushi~~~truly satisfied.~.~ *yums*

Sushi~~

 

If someone asks me how is the feeling of turning 23? I would say, BLANK. Clueless? Not till the stage. But I have not much to say about this, the impact wasn’t as strong as last year (hence the post earlier on being 22). If there is something I wish to say about, I would say that there are still room for improvements in me, ie my strengths and weaknesses, my emotional management and beliefs. I always find myself trap in negative emotions or thinking and it’s difficult for me to change this.>.<

Don’t feel like dragging on about my “self-management” stuffs. All I want to write is about this year’s special celebration since it was my first and perhaps my last chance of celebrating birthday in UK.

Cheers then.=)
