Sick, dying & thinking of washing liquid

Aichoo... Aichoo... Sick and dying with the most irritating block nose in the world and a semi-manly voice. Taking Day Nurse bought from Botots every now and then. I lay in my bed updating my blog and trying to fix my lappy. Can't quite figure out what is wrong with it. But I can't sign into msn. And haiz... Let's not bored you out with details... Haha...

Think it started from walking home in the rain at 5am in the morning after my casino game. Still, determined not to be confined at home yesterday, I went once again, to tesco with Angel, Damus and Leslie.

Not a massively interesting thing to blog about but I so wanted to tell people my favourite washing up liquid brand. (Hahaha... Lol...):

So, Fairy - Pink Grapefruit antibacterial (photo to the right), is my favourite washing-up liquid. Haha... Then, Persil, as far as I know, never had washing-up liquid launched a new series with one very similiar to my favourite. Since Persil is also one of my favourite brands in household cleaners, I've been wanting so much to try it. But I've still got like 3 bottles of my Fairy at home. Bought them when they're having a buy 1, get 1 free promo! Haha... Then Fairy comes up with new 'care for your hands' liquid (the purple and green one in the pic). And I want to try them too! Think it'll be months before I get to do that. Keke...

And I found this cutie cake...

Kenny's birthday

It is Kenny's birthday last week and we went to celebrate it in the new chinese restaurant - 2nd time I'm there, 1st time is yesterday. Haha... Forgot the name. Opened for barely a month and closed for 2 weeks by the health authorities as they found a rat in the kitchen. Scary! But to be fair, it's a basement restaurant and it's really GOOD. Haha...

Food is good and cheap. We ordered a total of 4 dishes, got 5, 3 of which is not what we ordered. End up, I realise it's because that stupid order taker is vietnamese and barely speaks chinese. Haiz... And I thought he understood what I said. When unsure, just bloody ASK! Arrggghhh...

Not wanting to take the risk of eating spit food, especially with their records, haha, we end up paying for everything, plus 6 beers and 2 diet coke. Total bill(spilt between 3): 58pounds.


Went to a pub after that. That's Kenny!

On my way home, I manage to convince them to pop into the casino for a quick game! Hasn't been there in a long time. Went to a different branch from the one I frequent. Although I have been there a couple of times, strangely, I'm not a member.. So, I signed up to be a member and got a newbie pack. In it, includes a 10pounds voucher for roulette.

Great start! Without taking a single cent out, I manage to get myself 92.50 up. Best casino trip ever. But that money is gone quickly at the brag table. Up and down, up and down, like a roller coaster ride, I played till the croupier shouts that it's the last game. Opps... Quick game? It's already 4am and they are closing. Everybody is doubling their bet for the last game.

Me? 4 hours later and I left, few pounds heavier in my pocket. Gonna go to all the different branches and get their newbie pack. Haha...

67 pence

It's football night. Rangers vs Werder. Went to Chun Hua's take-away store with Swee to visit. Business is exceptionally good tonight. Seems like people likes to order food delivery when there's football on. As usual she feed us with loads of food.

Just another quiet night, we are about to leave when a drunken man, seems to be around 50 odd to me, comes in. Stumbling to the counter, he emptied his pocket. A grand total of 67 pence! "Can you make me something with this." he said.

Unbelievable! He ends up walking away with a springroll.

Snow

There's nothing special about snow. But snow in March? Now you know all the rubbish talk about gobal warming actually make sense. You know how they always say, Scotland's only got ahem... All in all, 3 days of summer. Haha...

So, that's me in my new Paul Frank bathrobe outside my flat! For the first time, I feel my garden is not that useless after all - a nice backdrop for my pic. Haha...

In the library

Got really tired and bored from studying in the library now. Then I decide that it's important to update my blog. Haha... Juz finish dinner at Rumours again - fish head noodles, as I'm too busy to cook today (suppose to be studying remember). Haha...

I remember having this conversation with my friend the other day. You know who you are! Haha...

Imagine this scenario:

You went for a night out and your NEW bf - Mr X, is there too. Both you and Mr X got really really drunk. You wake up, barely remember what happened last night but realise that both of you are naked.

Then... Opps... You realise that in your drunken state last night, you poo-ed (YES! SHIT!) ON THE BED. How horrible is that! How very very embarrassing! You could very well die of shame. So, you start to panic and try to cover it before he wakes up.

BUT, wait a minute! You can't change the bedsheets without waking him up! And no way can you clean the mess of poo and cover that smell!

So, what do you do?

A very ingenious Ms Y found a solution. She quickly wakes up Mr X and says: LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE (pointing at the poo) !!!

Food Week

Time to update my blog again before I forgot about everything. Keke... Slightly busier (read: Lazier) last week. Haha...

3 events are held last week.

FIRST - STRATHCLYDE UNI

CNY event held by Strathclyde Uni (which is my school). There are performance by dunno who. Like dragon dance and etc... They manage to find loads of children to perform some chinese dance which is good. But I would think the locals enjoyed it more since most are amused by them. People said the food is good. Restaurant food - Rumours sponsored as well! But apparently, it's soooo good that by the time I'm there, everything's GONE!!! ArrGGhhh... (And I plan to have dinner there - FREE restaurant food!) Determined not to leave empty handed, I queue at the chinese calligraphy stall and get a bookmark with my name nicely written. Haha... There's latern making and paper cutting as well, but too lazy to queue.

Results: Off to Rumours (which is now my favourite restaurant) for REAL dinner.

SECOND - GLASGOW UNI

Glasgow Uni held a Gobal Village event where representatives from 15 countries each cook their country's specialities and we eat & eaT & EAT. Well, maybe not eat & eat & eat since there are not enough food. Couldn't even find a fork until much later. Thought I found a Coco cake at the persian stall. It's actually Coo Coo, which is ahem... gooy extreme vegetable-ish thingy. Like the curry from the malaysian stall and almond cake from the german stall most. By everything's gone when I go for a second round. Well... Coo Coo is still there! Haha...



(Seems like the organiser finds it most apt to place the Singapore stall next to the Malaysia stall. Or is it purely coincidental? Haha...)

Results: Off to Rumours for REAL dinner again. (What a waste of my 5 pounds entry ticket! Haha)

THIRD - EDINBURGH UNI

In the same week, Edinburgh Uni held a Singapore food festival. So, off we go to Edinburgh. We seems to be going wherever there's food. Haha... So, 5 pounds later, still a hungry me. Not enough food again!

Miss BAPSRC
Met Miss BAPSRC (Bitchy-Arrogant-Preppy-Snotty-Rude-n-Cocky) at the mee siam stall who is a volunteer in the event. Actually, all are volunteers. Asked for 2 portions since I'm taking one for Leslie as well. After passing one to me, Miss BAPSRC held the 2nd bowl up and ask in the most stuck-up BAPSRC manner "Who is this for?".

"I'm taking it for my friend", I said. Not convinced, she refuse to pass it to me and continue to stand in a 'I think I'm a super model' position (one hand still holding the bowl high up like it contains gold and the other at her waist) looking at me in a 'I-don't-believe-you-so-i'm-not-giving-it-to-you' look. Meanwhile, holding up the other 20 odd people in the queue. A minute after me standing dumbfounded and flabbergasted at such a suggestion, another volunteer quickly take the bowl from her and pass it to me , telling her that she can't do that. Looking back after I walked away from the stall, I saw her vicious eyes following me like she's gonna crucify me if she caught me eating the bowl of mee siam. What an idiot!

Great, so after spending money and time on the train to Edinburgh and money on the event ticket, still leaving hungry, I'm probably now known as the trying-to-cheat-them-out-of-a-bowl-of-mee siam-gal.

Note: All portions/bowl are only a mouthful as they are in the most pathetic tasting portion size.

So, that's my week... And on Sunday, I'm watching - The Ultimate Crime Fighter at home. Really nice. Going to finish it soon. :-)
