*Diary of CHubs in Glasgow*

31st December 2006

Well, a lot has happened since I've last blogged for Chubs... I would have thought that, the diary of Chubs in Glasgow would have been done by Chubs himself.. but he's just not cut out for blogging.. so i would just have to do it for him.. humph.....

Just before Christmas eve, from the 21st to the 23rd of Dec, Chubs and I travelled to Edinburgh to meet Auntie Betty who kindly put us up for 2 nights, provided our meals and all. We ventured into the heart of Edinburgh by bus and walked the streets of Edinburgh... Auntie Betty took us to Blackford hill, which is a must go place for anyone who comes to Edinburgh. From the top, the view is spectacular....


Oh and Chubs could not get over how dirty the cars were in Edinburgh haha... and of course, how can we not have our Starbucks.. hee.. stopped by starbucks along the Royal Mile for Chub's ToffeeNut Hot Chocolate and my fav Chai latte.. yumzzz... oh and dis starbucks had a wee mini Jenga for us to play with while waiting for our drinks hee...



We took the train down to my Auntie's place on Christmas eve.. had a bit of a boo boo but managed to get there safely hee....
Christmas day was great... the food was to die for, Turkey with all the trimmings.. yums... Grandpa was there too =)


We opened our presents, had our dinner, basically ate our way through the day...
Oh and Auntie Valerie and Uncle Robert bought me a cake too hee...



Me on my birthday.. hee... (mummy and papa --> the dress I bought hee.. nice??)

The cake was suppose to be a surprise though ahha.. but i kinda spoiled the surprise when I found the cake haha... =) but it was good cake...

I was in charge of the Boxing Day meal... me!!! gosh.... I had my little helper though.. who was hard at work, chopping garlic, washing the dishes as the came and tasting the food as it cooked haha.... (auntie = Jon is trained at chopping garlic now... plus washing dishes haha.. no excuse not the help when he gets back hee...)



The meal was a success.. hee everyone loved the food hee.. phew... was a huge relief for me.. (=

Had a small surprise that I had been planning for CHubs too.. hee... surprised him with a box of Krispy Kremes... all thanxs to Fong Yu.. friends from across the block hee.... Brought it back from London for me.. hee..



Half empty box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts....

CHubs and I got tickets to watch a pantomime in GLasgow from my Auntie and Uncle for Christmas... Aladdin... It was so good haha.. was laughing out way through most of it. hee.. It was a very interactive show, we had to sing along, talk back to the actors, booed the evil magician, sing and dance too haha.. CHubs couldn stop singing after.. =( poor ears...





Oh and on our way back, we stopped at this chinese place for supper haha.... hmmmm missing the food from home.. Chubs cant stop saying how he misses his Jalan Sultan Prawn Mee or Katong Hor Pau... Argh!!!!!!



We're going to Glasgow's Hogmanay 2006 Party tonight!! Whee~~~~ hee.... Gonna count in the New Year @ George Square this year.. something different...hee

Hopefully it'll stay dry tonight.. has been raining on and off all day...
Before I go make Chubs his Sheperd's Pie that he has been asking for all day and all night... I wanna wish everyone

+ A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! +

*Diary of Chubs in Glasgow*

20th December 2006

Had a slow start to the day, eventhough we got up at 9.. had a long slow breakfast =) and kinda dozed back to sleep after.. haha.... didn sleep till like 3 the night before.... Chubs was sleeping so soundly by 1.30am.... yawnz.... got up at like 12 again.. watched a bit of tv and headout to subway for lunch.... Was desperate for Starbucks today... dunno why haha... so went to the one in borders... nice gal that served us couldn stop talking to us eventhough there was like a long queue behind haha... Chubs being Chubs.. ordered a frap... I mean.. who would order a frap in the middle of winter?? haha... onli his truely would.. haha and obviously his fingers were freezing while walking back.. hee.. I've just fallen in love with Chai tea.. juz love it... cant stop drinking it =)

Btw.. Chirstmas Shopping DONE... for now.. wheeeee... spent the whole afternoon wrapping and tagging presents while Chubs got really bored and started playing with the cardboard... first he wanted to fence... den he wanted to play star wars... after tat he wanted to be some kung fu hero... i dunno wad got into him but it was like he was super high on sugar.... haha... i was in tears by the end of it all.....

I needed eggs to make dinner... so we took a stroll down Buchanan Street down to Argyl Street to the German Christmas Market... Chubs wanted to buy fudge back as presents... small market though... wasn't that interesting... most of the stalls was selling food.... it was a cold evenin though and again Chubs being Chubs.. thinking he was superman.. went out in just his trackies and slippers.. to be fair he wore a thick jacket.. but half way out his toes were freezing!! -serves him right i say... i did warn him-

Went to tesco to get eggs and rice for dinner... and had to run straight home... poor Chubs was frozen haha....

Oh well..CHubs made me study while he read his boring book again but fell asleep soon after... its now 9.25pm and Chubs has been asleep since 8.50pm!!!! while i have been mugging away.. sobz...

Jess jus knocked on my door and gave me my christmas and birthday pressie!! haha.... She gave me a new pan!!! haha.... no one has ever given me a pan before!! =)

She's leaving Glasgow tmr.. how time flies.. It juz seems like yesterday that i first met her and her bf... oh well, she cant wait to get home too... at least she survived my cooking all these while haha... All the best to u Sico =)

We'll be heading across to Edinburgh tmr for 3 days.. and den to my aunt's place for Chirstmas eve, day and boxing day... so will onli be able to continue dis diary after we return on the 26th.....

IDIOTS !! ~

Talk abt having some uninterupted sleep... or the lack of it for that matter....its 1.20am in the morning and I've just got back into my flat coz some idiot from downstairs hit the fire alarm by accident. (not a happy chappy as u can tell) Its 1 degree outside now and I was standing outside in the cold with my PJs and slippers and a coat on, freezing my tush off... It took the firemen quite a while to fix and reset the alarm and the security guards on duty werent too happy. Thank god he sent everyone who didn live in this building home.. haha Steph, Sophie and I were sound asleep in la la land when the alarm went off, Elise just got into bed and Jess was doing her work, so none of us were too happy when it went off as u can imagine.. Tina.. well wad can i say she wasen ard.. probably at some party as usual hee... Brrrr feet are still frozen!! must remember to put on some socks in future haha...

Well since I got rudely woken up and can't really fall back to sleep now, I thought i would just blog abt it..

Went Christmas shopping today, or at least tried... Glasgow was swamped with people.. There were people everywhere! Queues in everyshop, Glasgow was mobbed!!! Left the house at like 10.30am and by the time we got back it was nearly 4 in the evening and the sun had already set which didn help. Didn manage to buy much though, only Grandpa's present, well coz it was the easiest to get. Bought wrapping paper and cards to go along haha.. Planning ahead here haha... No gifts to wrap the paper with yet haha...

Oh here another picture to add to the "Attack of the Cones" series hee... Tina wanted to be in the picture this time...

Chubs will be playing his third day tmr in Doha. Doing quite well for someone who has not been training as much as he should and has not been in a competition in 4 months.. Like he said, tmr is the day where they kick some ass... and i hope u guys do.. will be keeping check! *winkz*

Gosh, with all the commotions, it kinda woke me up.. Nothing much has been happening in the flat, just the usual. Trying to study as much as I can before Chub arrives. Jess is buried with tons and tons of work too.. Most of my flatmates will be heading home for Christmas on the 16th so the flat will be basically occupied by just us two over the weekend, oh and maybe Jess's bf. =)

Here's a random picture i took of Tina and her new PJs that she bought from Primark. (and u knoe wad, the pyjamas are suppose to be a gift for someone.. hmmm)

Well will try to go back to sleep now. Nothing much to do, nothing on tv.

Nite nite

Was concentrating hard on my work when I got a file sent to me on msn from Tina.. haha found it quite amusing...

Weather here has been quite sh*tty as usual.. more rain, no shine.. how dull can it get... I sometimes just wish it would snow make everything look pretty.. =)

Muppets!!

Another wet windy day... one tat never fails to make u feel miserable... =(

Had one of the worst nite of sleep ever.. Think the girls downstairs were having a party... Shouting and screaming all night long for god knows what reason, banging and slamming doors like nobody's business, shooting fireworks out of their flat (juz a reminder, their flat is just below ours!).. TWATS!! they are the most inconsiderate, obnoxious , idiotic, mindless, annoying bunch of mingers i've ever come across.. honestly.. they drive me up the wall.. countless sleepless nights from their screaming and slamming of doors. ARGH!!!!!!!!

It didn really help that i had a full day of lectures today as well.. Gosh, with exam round the corner u would think ppl would start buckling down and get down to work... how wrong was I....

Anyway.. on a happier note.. at least December is here... FINALLY.. November seemed forever... Christmas spirit is definitely in the air in the streets of Glasgow... George Square is just lovely... all the lights, the big tree.. the atmosphere is just great, except for the sh*t weather though.. hmmm.. Have not got round to take a picture of it yet.. will have to remember to do that...

Have to start Christmas shopping as well soon, i think i'm already way behind everyone. Everyone carrying huge bags of goodies... so hard.. use to be mummy's job getting the gifts. Now its all left to me!!... boo... what to buy for who... so hard...

Going paintballing tmr.. dunno whether i'm looking forward to it or not. Going as a favour for Elise (my french flatmate), her friends couldn make it, last minute thing, needed ppl to go so i said i would. Argh.. bruises... i hate them..

Oh i've got another collection to my "Attack of the Cones" series.. not sure which part am i at now haha.. lost track. Was walking through town and spotted it!! haha...

Do u see it?? its on top of a telephone booth this time.. hee...

To Key, Priscy and Val... Hope u guys have a great time at the bbq! all the ballies back again.. sorry i cant give u guys any christmas pressies this yr... think the postage will be more expensive than the presents itself haha... no $$$ also =(

Well guess i have been rambling on far too much tonite.. poor chubs was suppose to speak to me after he came back from the show, but i ended up going to the gym and he couldn keep his eyes open just now.. was desperate for his bed... aww... sleep tight baby... (p.s: enjoy ur dinner tmr.. will be thinking and feeling damn bloody jealous, while i get hit in the head with paint balls.. )
