Para para sakura!

I loooove spring! :D

St. Andrews

Chee Mei, fishy, Calvin, Sarah and i headed off to St Andrews for a day as a post-exam holiday!
Its just less as an hour away to pretty blue sea, sand, hilly golf course.. Definitely a recommended getaway for a day :)

Ice cream at Jannetta! 52 different flavours.. yummy :)
Came home refreshed.. and ready for Cardio! (or not...)

Bye Bye Locomotor!

Locomotor exams are OVER! Time to revive my almost dead blog...
After being cooped up in my room with my books and duvet for so long, I am finally able to enjoy some sun. The weather was beautiful this whole week!! seeing clear blue sky and sun rays made me happy, but watching it from inside my room was depressing, and yes, I might have been deprived of vitamin D these few days. I know i'm painting a picture of kinda a sad life, but that is how locomotor is for me -_-... I was not so lucky in my orthopedics sessions- Lack of teachings and guidances, my tutor did not help motivate me... Fractures #### of the limbs, spine, and pelvis*so boring :'( * ...we had to digest a whole Appleys (which i felt like tearing up every time i set my eyes on it), and what came out for the exam...? one puny question about fracture of 5th metacarpal -_- which i did not read..
One thing for sure.. Orthopedics is not for me..

Oh well, just gonna enjoy my short weekend before starting Cardio, which i am looking forward to.. will try to bask in the sun to make up for the last few days!

Weather Report in Edinburgh

Yesterday: With the wind blowing, you'd wish you worn a thicker jacket.. without the wind, you sweat under ur jacket, hoping to take it off, but then, another gust of wind blows at you.

Today: This morning, I could've sworn it was sunny (to the point your eyes can be blinded by the glare) and my room was warm cos of the transfer of 'haba melalui sinaran' into my room. the next minute i looked up, it was SNOWING like crazy! wind blowing like wild, with snow flakes floating haphazardly.. and.. as i am typing this sentence, I see that everything is dying down.... and.... yup...now looks as if nothing had ever happened..

That's Scotland weather for you..

Snooow!!

White fat flakes floating freely down, settling one by one on the ground... time goes by and it builds up inch by inch, setting the site for snowmans and snowball fights.... weeeeeeeeeeeee.... for the first time!!!


Played with snow for the second time that day at the base of arthur's seat! (where the snow is thicker)

although its just for one day, it was AMAZING:)

Roadtrip: Leeds and Manchester... Weeee!

This weekend we headed of to Leeds and Manchester, with a car, a gps and maps.
Driver: Calvin
Navigator: Fish
Backseaters: HY, Poh Peng, Khek Tjian

Leeds: Lotsa photo-taking... small simple place :)

Leeds uni:

at a nice chinese restaurant :)
Sunday: The thing I look forward to in Manchester is the half-price DIM SUM!!! Unfortunately, because its CNY (sigh...) there is no half price :( but we ate dim sum anyway... muahaha






























somehow.. dimsum brings out the feminine side of guys... ^_^


And.... Old Trafford --- the famous manchester stadium




This is some mall in manchester tt has a midvalley-pyramid feel.. brings back memories :)In the snow just b4 leaving leeds...
Had a great time! dun worry yau, we'll be back... :D

Ceilidh

There was a Halfway ball for the medics in my year, and out of a spontaneous decision, we decided to go for the after party, as there were ceilidh and dance. Ceilidh is a scottish folkdance with alot of jumping and twirling about. :D

After meeting up with my uncle and auntie for dinner, I rushed to get ready.. I think it took me about 15 minutes (cos i avoided make up :P)
It was cool, cos so many ppl from my year were there, and guys were wearing quilts :D It was also very different from balls at home, cos over here, u see drunk ppl falling down and couples making out..







After all the jumping, I came home limping with a blister on my poor little toe, but the whole experience was worth it :D

Auntie and Uncle from Penang is here!

My auntie and uncle came to London for a conference, and dropped by Edinburgh just to see us!! so Happy! They come bearing food and gifts as well... weeeeeeee

We went for a short sightseeing at the Royal Mile, and took them to this nice beautiful restaurant called the Outsider...

Thank you so much for coming all the way here.. It really felt good to see family :D

Gong Xi Fa Cai!!

Its my first CNY away from home... miss my family so much.. and the foood *drool*

The most we can do here, is gather with friends, our family away from home... and eat chinese food !! yum yum :P''

and, with Yau around, our CNY got merrier :D
We actually skipped classes to bring yau around.. hehe.. good friends leh :P

We went to saigon saigon! Great chinese food here :) Just being able to sit down with friends and enjoy a wonderful meal together made it seem like CNY..



The after party.... Bridge time! ehhehe...















This pic couldn't describe yau any better :P







so.. CNY wasn't too bad, at least my bro is here :)
Gong Xi Fa Cai ppl!
Missing my family alot, wish they were here, or I was home.

Newcastle !

Destination: NewCastle!

A dramatic start to the trip, Sarah missed the 7 am train but managed to hop on the 7.30 one because Khek tjian was down with a bug..
Stayed in calvin's aunt's place :) very nice, plus got cute doggy!!














Went to see the Angel of the North ( patung besar yang sangat hodoh...)
-just a man with the wings of a plane -_-


chinatown!


















The pretty multi colored bridge!

Before we knew it was time to split ways with yau and go home... but after teasing yau n inviting him playfully to burn his ticket n come to edinburgh to celebrate CNY, he succumbed to peer pressure! muahaahaa
