Friday, July 18, 2008 @ 12:12 AM "The world famous Willow Tearooms were designed by Glasgow architect and designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1904, and the rooms and interiors have been beautifully recreated to give a taste of the period. Mackintosh was responsible for modeling the outside of the building as well as the interior, and even the design of the cutlery! The Willow Tearooms are an ideal place to relax after a hard day shopping in Glasgow City Centre, in the surroundings of Charles Rennie Mackintosh."  Stephanie found this fabulous tea house from her Lonely Planet, Scotland. This book is even more important than her BNF.  There are two tearooms. We went to the Chinese styled one. Not as Chinese-y as it could be. Basically, there's nothing chinesey bout this room except for the Pagoda lamp, which is more Thai-ish than Chinesey. And the room should be red, instead of blue. Chinese always like 'ang' ma.   Sugar cubes!   Charles Rennie Mackintosh  Scrambled egg with smoked salmon. Really tasty =)  My lemon meringue pie! Meringue tastes and feels like a cotton candy, except it is crispy on the outside. Its super sweeeeeeeeeeeet till my teeth hurt!  Jacked potato with tuna!  Scones with raisins.

Dumb of know. Of all the reason for not being able to pass PP3 test is to get kicked out of the class because you RAN. Getting -60 for giving a wrong dose wouldn't have felt this bad. Just not my day. Anne Boyter never taught us in any of our pp3 classes before. Thank god for that. But, the devil had to come during our test to make our lives miserable (mine especially). Sigh. Actually, I was feeling quite positive about this test, because I read the MEP a few times and did many prescriptions on SPIDER. So I thought I was ready for the game. We were given 4 prescrptions, and had to finish everything in two hours. For first timers like us, it was nerve-wrecking as hell. I was lucky to get one of the few prescriptions that are more straight forward. Too bad i didn't manage to finish the last one before i got kicked out =( Anne boyter did catch someone running in the lab before me. So she already warned us not to run. But I was too overjoyed when I found my medication on the shelf. Like a little girl who found her missing candy. Subconsciously, I walked faster than usual. All thanks to my lousy pumps plus my big fat feet, which gave a loud 'thud thud thud' sound. Until i realise i was actually running, it was too late. 'YOU! OUT OF THE LAB!', Anne Boyter shouted from behind. Everyone, who was initially busy minding their own business, looked up. Everyone's eyes were on me. And I didn't know what to do. I looked down at my oral contraceptive pills, baffled and disappointed. I was too traumatised to be able to make any movement. 'OUT! I SAID!'. I have no choice but to quickly place my medication and BNF on the table and walked out of the lab. I felt ashamed, and also very lonely at the same time. sooob.... Why is she so cranky all the time? Its like she's PMS-ing everyday. No wonder she's not married. Is she? BUT, THANK GOD ITS JUST A PRACTICE TEST. So I couldn't be bothered too much lar. It's not assessed anyway =P I had a bad day, so retail therapy was essential, to heal my wounded soul. Haha.  My family and the 'house guest'!  Spot the celebrity?  No not me!  Is it just me, or does Sook Hui look a lot like Sammi Cheng? Btw, that's my Zara trench coat! I love it so much! One of the very last thing I would take and refund =)  Free advertising! Even better, we had THAI FOOD! Lemon Grass, opposite Cineworld.  Stir-fry pork with dried chillies.  Green curry that wasn't green in color.  The very longed and missed, TOMYAM!!!!  Forgive them. They have not tasted Honeydew and Banana with coconut milk in their life.   Candle light dinner! Great food with great company!   Love the ambience! Check out the fan on the ceiling! Damn cool rite? Dun ask me bout the price, please! >.< Labels: Outings 0 shouts. Tuesday, July 08, 2008 @ 4:22 AM We were all deprived of seafood ever since we left home. To compensate for the lack of shellfish, we went Mussel Inn. I've never eaten mussels like this before. I mean just mussels alone! Heavenly. As kiamsiap as usual, 6 of us ordered 4 1/2kg of mussels, cooked in different sauces. Firstly, we stuffed ourselves with bread, which was refillable, until we were half full. For those who intend to go there, don't be such a cheapskate and keep asking for more bread. Our seniors were blacklisted for asking too much. They had no choice but to charge them! :O  Mussels cooked in Thai style, with coconut milk. My favourite!  Mussels with white cream sauce, white wine and shallots. No point posting other pictures of mussels because they all look the same :P We ordered Morrocan, which was cooked with chillies. (But apparently, Jac and Sue couldn't feel a single bit of spiciness). Also, blue cheese, cheesy. You'll like it if you are a cheese fan. Labels: Outings 0 shouts. Monday, July 07, 2008 @ 4:25 PM Ok, for the previous post, i feel damn paiseh for mentioning the whole disney thing and also gossip girls. This is what watching too much drama will do to my already-not-so-smart brain :s But, thank you all, to those who cared. =) Some days I feel extremely weak, some days i feel as strong as ever. Yeanz, now i know how it feels like. Anyway, Gossip girls didn't turn out as perfect as i thought. Can't wait for season 2! Nate Archibald is damn freaking hot!! My weekend turned out to be the worst days of the week. Why must the sore throat virus pick me? But that little sore throat didn't stop me and Jac from going to O'Neills for dinner. Our housemates weren't at home, so no one's preparing dinner =( AWWW, see how important you both are to us? But I think i really shouldn't have gone out and stayed in bed. I got fever at night. I was bed-ridden for the whole afternoon of saturday and the whole of sunday. Finally, I can apply my pharmacy knowledge on myself! lol. Like who doesn't know that Paracetamol cures fever. Swt. So there goes my weekend, spending most of my precious time in bed. I can't go out and can't even study or do my lab report. Urgh. All the time wasted.  Chicken breast with mushroom sauce. Let me describe how fabulous this dish is. First layer - Thick cheddar cheese. THICK. then - Mashed potato - Button mushroom - Chicken breast meat covered with thick brown sauce! only for 3.5pounds. you should try =) but sadly, the portion is rather small =( I guess the fever was worth it after all. =)  Mutton stew. It's common but taste good. Notice the bread on the left? Its Irish! Yummy! Also 3.5 pounds.  Just the two of us =) Our housemates ditched us for Edinburgh. *** Hey Kelz, Wish I was back home to celebrate your acceptance to Uni of Queensland. U totally deserve the scholarship! So happy for you. I cant think of a better way to tell you this so i decided to post it here. Hope you won't mind. I'll miss you like hell! As if coming here for a year is not long enough, but you have to go Aus for 4 friggin long years! T.T Anyways, Take care and study hard. Have a safe journey! ps, sorry for the short post, I'm running late for class. Love, J Labels: Outings 0 shouts. Sunday, June 29, 2008 @ 7:11 AM What more can you ask for on ur birthday? A homemade ultimate chocolate cake with 101% of tender, love and care sprinkled all over, baked by your bf with 0% experience in baking. Aww!  After two failed attempts, finally, the million dollar cake by Alvin. Wouldn't have succeeded without the wise and experienced sifu in baking, who sacrifice a lot of her beauty sleep to help.  The sifu on the left and the crew. The crew helped deco the strawberries on the cake. They also helped to dispose the not-so-pretty strawberries, into their stomach! Hbee caught in the act! Happy birthday, Mei Ling!   Labels: Outings 0 shouts. Sunday, June 22, 2008 @ 8:36 PM Yesterday, we had an important mission! Our mission was to celebrate Stephanie's ultra belated birthday. I know we were guilty for being super lousy friends for not celebrating her birthday any earlier. So the least we could do was to give a surprise! Hui Bee was our mission commander. Lol. Apparently, Steph was craving for korean food, so HB went online and found a korean restaurant in Glasgow. We found the map and we had a plan in mind. The plan was to just 'jalan sambil shopping then tiba-tiba 'Eh! Korean Restaurant wo! Let's go makan.' Sounds simple, but the truth was a lot more complicating that it sounds. We went shopping for the whole afternoon. We did a lot of camwhoring too!!    Steph couldn't resist.      Omg! We are no different from whores! :O Anyway, the mission went well as planned. Luckily Steph was blur enough to fall for the trick. Imagine we walked all the way from Buchanan street, all the way along Sauchiehall Street, from many boutiques, to boutique-less, from tall building to short buildings, it was obvious that we were out of the city already, but we kept walking. Steph was diligent enough to asked us to turn back but we all acted super semangat to keep 'exploring'. It was so dumb. To make matters worse, it was drizzling. Thank god for the umbrellas. Poor Jac, her Primark 4 pound shoes were good to look at but do her no good for walking. It caused her berjambak blisters. Aww...  The big red dot was our destination. We made a few detours to shop =) hehe. The red line's the route. It a lot further than it looks.  Oh ya we bought chips on the way =) yummy! After almost an hour of walking, finally, we reached our destination. It was the craziest day.  The one and only Korean restaurant in Scotland! Wow  At one point, we almost gave up coz we thought we were lost. But thankfully we got back to the main road and found our way. Too bad, Steph didn't crave for Korean food as much as we thought. She just casually mentioned that she missed Korean. Aww, but the meal was really good! I hadn't tasted good restaurant food for quite a while.  Tasteful Korean side dishes. Too bad it wasn't refillable.  Tofu the korean way...  =)  Happy Belated Birthday, Steph! Here's your 22nd Birthday Cake.  Orange roses =) How thoughtful of 'Maria'!  Guess who? :) We had no intention of walking back home. So we took a cab, which cost us only 4 pounds. Bloody hell should have just taken a cab there la. =) But all the effort was paid off when the mission was accomplished. It was raining cats and dogs, the wind was so strong till Sue's umbrella almost flew away. But that didn't stop us from going for a drink. It was Sue's idea by the way. o=)  Three Blind Mice. Wtf.  Cheerio! 0 shouts. |
