Friday with not much to do..

I am done with 2 exams and now with 2 more assignments to go. Although my target was to finish one of the assignment by this weekend, but I am procrastinating more than ever. I guess I am feeling tired. My brain is dead, and my body is knackered too after the gym just now. Well, I havent been to the gym for couple of days, so, i better head to the gym today before i get any fatter! The gym...boy is was hot in there! Really stuffy...I felt like I was gonna faint while running on the treadmill. But, really sweat out! Proud of myself!
The boyfriend is going with friends to Malacca. Ahh, how nice! Wishing that I could be there to enjoy that weekend gateaway with him and friends..And the best part will be the good foooooood!
Oh, well...let's not moan about it. I shall, look ahead and do my assignment! Although i personally feel that i should sleep now. Im tired..will start tmr.

Chelsea; my sister's dog is giving birth soon! Im so excited! I cant believe i am not there to see the puppies. Really hope that I get to keep one of it! Its a pure breed cocker spaniel. Anyone interested in buying? My sister is planning to sell a few. Its pure breed, so, it might range around RM700-1000 i guess?! Anyway, if anyone is interested, let me know. I rather sell the puppy to a person I know than to strangers and not sure if they will make a good home for the pupps!

Ok, think I am getting tired. Will sleep now and wake up early tmr morning. Do i sound convincing enough? I hope so..

I went to the library. Discussed some work with Milo..and realised we had some answers in common and shared few which are different. It was a relief to see we are getting somewhere. So, tomorrow morning will be to the gym, meet up with the guys for some discussion and do more reading for Wednesday paper. I really hope it will be ok.
Munching on chocs! Sinful me!

Night for now..will post up as soon as i can. Will be pretty busy though with assignment due next week and ive barely started.

insanity?

Studying is driving me insane...
I guess staring at the screen, sitting at the same position is killing me too!




Tomorrow is a new day..because tomorrow is the day I will start on my assignment and make sure I will have to finish at least half of it. (I really hope so!) Ok, so therefore, i shall sleep now. Wake up, start fresh by going to the gym, and im gonna fire away with the ass-ingment! Wish me luck, peeps! Goodnight!

Clifton bridge, Bristol

The famous Clifton bridge in Bristol. It is famous for its Egyptian design. Mind you, Brunel at the age of 24 (an honourable man) had to compete with competitors and design had been rejected twice before it was approved. He died not even able to see the bridge completely built.


The worst part is, my uncle and aunt took me there to see the bridge. View is nice, especially during winter cause you can see everything white! However, walking up the hill, and when it is -3 degrees is really no joke! We were honestly freezing cold! My aunt and I couldnt even feel out feet anymore. My uncle was even having a headache because of the cold! U know like a brain freeze?!

Thank god we werent there for too long. I dont think i could possibly take it! Went over to Cribbs Causeway, a shopping mall..and shop for clothings at Marks and Spencer! Stuff there were as low as 1-2pounds ok? Brilliant!

Below are some pictures taken at the Clifton bridge.



I just simply love benches with writing dedicated on it! Give a special feeling to it!


Yes, I know i must have been pretty impressive. 3 posts updated in 1 day. Well, this is the result of tired and sick of studying and just wanna do something really different! Ok, back to studies again!

Cecelia Ahern's new love..

Cecelia Ahern with her new book. "The Book of Tomorrow".




Tamara Goodwin has always got everything she’s ever wanted. Born into a family of wealth, she grew up in a mansion with its own private beach, a wardrobe full of designer clothes, and a large four poster bed complete with a luxurious bathroom en-suite. She’s always lived in the here and now, never giving a second thought to tomorrow.
But then suddenly her dad is gone and life for Tamara and her mother changes forever. Left with a mountain of debt, they have no choice but to sell everything they own and move to the country to live with Tamara’s Uncle and Aunt. Nestled next to Kilsaney Castle, their gate house is a world away from Tamara’s childhood. With her Mother shut away with grief, and her Aunt busy tending to her, Tamara is lonely and bored and longs to return to Dublin.

When a travelling library passes through Kilsaney Demesne, Tamara is intrigued. She needs a distraction. Her eyes rest on a mysterious large leather bound tome locked with a gold clasp and padlock. With some help, Tamara finally manages to open the book. What she discovers within the pages takes her breath away and shakes her world to its core

Intriguing, and sounds like its gonna be a fairy tale story.

white January..

I was at my uncle and aunt's place when it was snowing pretty much in January. We were worried that the highway to Bristol will be closed due to the heavy snow. But thank goodness I made it back in one piece, and so did my uncle and aunt. So, the day before we left to Bristol, we decided to make a snowman since there's so much snow, and let's not put it to waste!
However, the snow was too cold and couldnt be compressed to build into a large snowman..so, we had no choice but to pile it up only. It was not meant to be short and fat!

Wassup, snowman!




Myself, although i think its a bit too dark!


The view form my uncle's back garden. Everything looks so white and nice!

Christmas, 2009

It's been a while since I saw a beautiful Christmas tree with quite a few presents at the bottom of the tree.

Last year's Christmas was something different. For a start, we had an early dinner which is around 3pm. It was a great evening, and the food was great. Preparation was quite exhausting, but thank goodness with my sister's help and of course my aunt's efficient cooking, we managed to have a wonderful evening. Below is the blueberry cheesecake i made (with my aunt's guidance) But i thought the base was a little too buttery.



The 4kg turkey. It was really good. 4 kg turkey, but its not way too much for the 8 of us. We had some leftovers and had turkey soup, and turkey sandwiches the next day.


I have to give credit to my uncle who set the table. It was wonderful!

Dan and myself
Endless bottles of drinks throughout the 12 days of Christmas!

Lastly, my all time favourite picture of my uncle trying to be funny! :-)

I managed to spend loads of time with my family especially my cousins too! It was nice, something really different! I have to say, its different compared to Msia, but I guess it is a bigger thing here! This was my Christmas in UK. What about yours? <3
