Manchester...

as planned.... 3 heriot-watt student went down to manchester... after chicken cottage dinner and hopped onto train at 8.11pm... and so the journey begins with some suffering in the train as usual... the last hour of the train was spent by playing monopoly on my omnia... =D

11.44pm and we reached manchester piccadilly... its really quite a big station.... met up wif han's cousin bro and checked ourselves into our accomodation for the nite.... Hotel International... really opposite of the station.... and cost oni around 19 per person for a common toilet 3 bed room... the room wasnt that bad, minusing the thin bed i had and the noise from the bar below.... =.=

went to meet up with phin's fren and off we go to tai wu for dim sum supper.... i met up wif nicholas moo as well... he seems to be very good and enjoying his time here with his china fren.... ooo.... after dim sum we walked the street with lots of pubs ... cant recall the name... =.= but its famous for having lots of gay pubs there.... just spot for those with rainbow flag above the entrance... thats dangerous for straight man like me... lol... went to han's cousin room where some of dem played poker... saw shafiq there as well... he came for the manchester game...

saturday... check out at 11... and walked around town... then went to university of manchester to see the Manchester Malaysian Game... met sinyen there... and no 1 else i noe d.... =.= went their union for malaysian food.... which is really... not tasty at all... X.X haha.... no comments....

then back to town to shop around and went for the Eye of Manchester.... missed the chance to go to old traffold thou.... T.T mayb nez time la... i'll be back... dinner went to some chinese restaurant to celebrate phin's fren bday... and then the nite was really still young and we spent the homeless night in a casino... lol... the casino there actually have a mahjong room... for us to play mahjong for like 5 hr??? lol.... and best of all... free actually.... no entrance fee... just register... and refundable deposit for the mahjong tiles oni.... =) lets hope that edinburgh have this... lol... circus casino... actually part of genting group... haha... uncle lim's punya....

so we left there around 4.30am and walked to train station... took the rail replacement bus to york... waited/sleep in york train station waiting room.... then train back to edinburgh... and thats the end of the journey... tiring...!! but quite fun actually... manchester actually have nothing much to visit.... just shops and chinese food... and old traffold which we missed....

Snow and Lazy!!!

its had been awhile since i last updated... well... wat happened recently is that... almost the whole UK snowed throughout the week... here in edinburgh... i woke up on monday morning to see the beautiful white scenery outside my window... next day i woke up to see its green yet again!! =.= as it rained and the rain melted the snow... haha....

well... snow.... on facebook i see all my frens in dif part of uk posting their playing snow experience... where i in heriot-watt here... did nothing... nothing at all apart from walking from my room to cls under snow... lol... sad rite... but oh well... we played before d... and every1 actually came to the same thinking of no point getting ourselves super wet and cold again! lol...

snow is pretty... but... its not really good after all... as ppl walk on the snow... the snow slowly become ice... and become slippery... and walking on snow will have this weird sound as well which is irritating... and snow tends to get really dirty after alot of ppl stepped on it and den it dirtied my shoe... newly bought shoe in fact... aihhh.... and it makes the leg of my jeans wet as well... which is really not a good thing when the wet and cold jeans touch my skinn... >.<

lol... more snow are predicted but i assume not in edinburgh? haha... anyway... according to news.. this snow is the result of wind from russia... and uk is experiencing the coldest winter now... even the local complaint cold... haha....

other than snow... i am getting lazier these days... cooking oso lazy... but i did brought myself prawns... haha... and fried it once in tomyam sauce... and another time in tomato sauce... nice!! wuuu... now i found out another easy dish for me to survive... fry mincemeat.... its just so easy... haha..... and just eat it wif rice... and thats another dinner for me... XD
