leslie peacock.: November 2007

Had a really busy day today.. trying to occupy my time to keep my mind off other things.. had that lab on body image which was quite interest to say the least. Found out that I really had did not like the body Im in.. had to rate actresses on how close to perfection their bodies are.. had pictures of Kelly Brooke, Sandra Bullock, some other british actresses haha.. half an hour we were in.. all the way out at Jordanhill.. worse part, had to walk in the rain back to halls again...

Rainy season is here in Scotland, blistering winds and long wet showers, sometimes downpours.. not good when I've got a hoodless coat, and sneakers that have holes in the heel area.. hmmm

Went for the exchange talk and met Angeline in town after to sort out her phone and contract..

We went into River Island to look ard. Am still looking for something to wear for Christmas, dont really need to, but wanna look nice and wear new clothes on my birthday. (: Angeline went to try a few things on and I got bored so I went to try on a vest. Something that everyone seem to have. Took pictures of it too haha, something ppl seem to quite like doing .. i was bored.. Damus - Stop laughing!!!

I know the vest isnt nice.. dont worry I didn get it...

Anyway, as u all know i've got no food at all in my kitchen, sowe decided to try this japanese place that I planned to go in Dec.. thought it was really bad.. thank god Angeline's friend knew the ppl there and we only had to pay a tenner each.. not nice at all.. haiz.. note to self, never go there again...

Angel and I are gonna cook tmr at her place.. will have to go food shopping at last! not been to tesco in ages!!..

Will be heading to London on Friday night with Angeline and Swee (another Singaporean), another thing planned for dec, but since the opportunity came up I just went for it. Never really been to London, only for a 4 hour stop over I think.. wish someone else was coming along..

anyways.. cant believe Dec is just a few days away.. the weather isnt really helping matters..

Wind howling through the tiny gap in the window sill, seconds passing by, and I am still up...

My feet are frozen cos my heater is off, trying to get warm under the sheets...

Just came across something, something that took that last ounce of hope I was holding on for dear life, so tightly too... I still dont wanna to believe it, but its staring straight at me in black and white.. and it cant be wrong..

Spent the next few mins looking at photos on my laptop.. memories, thats all they are aint it..

Opening skype, closing skype, opening msn, closing msn, opening explorer, closing explorer, how monotonous...

I need to rest my mind and get some sleep.. 3am, way better than the 5.30am last night...

Having problems sleeping the last few days... when the lights are all off and when there is total silence, my mind start to wonder and it seems like it comes alive. Thinking of everything that you can possibly think off.. Just wanna turn it off like my laptop, or wish it'll just hibernate and go to sleep...

Waking up with dark eye bags every morning.. not too nice...

Was at Damus and Angel's place again last night for dinner.. Poor Damus sprained his ankle badly. So was over trying to help Angel with making the dinner. They've been feeding me the last few days. I just cant be bothered to cook let alone shop for food.. Our fridge, for the first time, looks so empty.. Ive only got carton of milk and a few apples left..

Was frying toufu for dinner with Angel and got splashed by oil on my face.. Its nothing big, but being the time it is now.. Im just gonna put a picture of it anyways.. show u my battle wound in the kitchen...

haha dammit after putting into a collage u cant really see it.. oh well..

Have been watching this Taiwan drama the last few days..

Angeline got me started.. (: so addictive though.. she watches tons of drama shows online.. and cos her internet and tv are down in her flat, she's always at Damus and Angel's place streaming haha and poor david has to sit and wait for her..

I've got a lab tmr morning at Jordanhill.. something abt body image.. not looking forward to it though.. not been in the gym in ages.. just dont have that motivation, that desire to go.. no central drive - something I learnt in Physiology today (: I do pay attention in class

Mom and Dad will be back from their Silver Anniversary holiday today..Hope they had a good get away... (:

My brain is tired, but my body doesnt wanna stay still and try to sleep.. hate this feeling... Im gonna be so sleepy tmr morning.. one thing to look forward to though, its Subway Day tmr.. always good.. (:

For those on my msn list, U'll prob have already seen this...

Men are like a deck of cards...

You need a Heart to love them,

Need a Diamond to marry them,

Need a Club to smash their head'in,

Need a Spade to bury him....

Here's another one someone else told me...

Men are like floor tiles...

Lay them right th first time,

and walk all over them forever...

not a very nice one but true for some aint it...

Have you ever been told that someone loves u SO much that they can never do without you, but are able to say those kinda words to someone u truely love, words that can not only break your heart into a million pieces, and make it feel like they've taken a knife and stabbed you not once but repeatedly... and not say it to you once but twice...

Im no angel, Im not perfect, but if thats the way u truely feel, Im so sorry..

Told u guys in my previous post that I had no hot water... well thank god for Daemus and Angel who lives near me haha... went over for a shower!! stayed and made dinner.. Daemus sprained his ankle playing bball.. so it was the girls who were in charge of the kitchen today... Angeline came over to help as well (:

She got her bf, David (who is a vegetarian) to cook a pork dish haha.. he said he didn mind..

We kinda made tooo much as usual haha.. stomaches nearly bursting out of our jeans.. but it was yummy...

My first try at making Cereal Prawns - or should I call it Oats prawns cos I forgot to bring Nestum with me and ended up using rolled oats hehe.. wont say it was the best but for a first attempt I'd say it was impressive enough haha....

Morning of a COLD, WET and WINDY winters day.............

.............And.............

We've got no HOT water!!

Had a Girlie Night In last week... Kim couldn make it but it was a great night...

Had a LOT to eat. played Twister!! and basically chatted the night away.. (:

Thanks girls* Ailidh, Alison and Fiona - thanks for inviting us over..

Let the games begin~!!!

These girls make uni life that much easier... (:

Fly away home*

Was on my bed using my laptop when this little bug surprised me on my bed....

A wee tiny Lady Bird...

Reminded me of an old song my dad use to sing to me...

"Lady bird, Lady bird, fly away home....

Your house is on fire, you're children are gone.."

Quite a depressing song isnt it..

Couldn bear to kill it.. so left it just outside my window to find its way home.... (:

Just a small change to my blog.. nothing spectacular.. tried to do everything myself though.. not a very creative person so this is kinda what I could come up with (:

Made dinner for a bunch of Singaporeans on Saturday.. totally forgot that it was the Scotland-Italy game.. so obviously ppl were late wanting to watch till the whistle was blown.. Wanted to make real home food.. so made chicken curry, bak kut teh, sambal kang kong and basil beef...

Everything was cleared by the end of the night, which either means they were all super duper hungry or my cooking isnt as bad as I think it is hee.. (:

Me being the sad person I am didn have any rice at home.. had to get Daemus and Angel to cook the rice and bring it over.. didn think my tiny rice cooker could do the job...

.....Angeline, Angel and Myself....

Veron (archie NUS student who is doing an exchange at Newcastle Uni), Li Fang (Kenneth's gf - doing her phd in Dundee) and Kenneth (archie NUS student, exchange with Strathclyde)

We were all waiting on Colin, who is another exchange from NTU doing triple E..

All in all, it was a good night. And I was glad everyone enjoyed my food.. (: Made me feel good that everyone was happy...

*Even when life tries to bring u down... it still has to go on, whether I like it or not*

It has been a week of birthdays, cake, blood donation, or not donating blood, strong winds and cold days....

Had labs at Jordanhill on thurs and Alison baked a cake for Ailidh, who's bday was on the sat before (she turned 19.. young one (: ) and Billy who is gonna turn 21 on the 21st of Nov..

Happy Birthday to the both of them..

The cake got 'slightly' smashed as Alison had to run to class hahah... the middle bit was suppose to be a smily face.. (: hehe...

Check out the candles haha.. Alison couldn find normal candles so she got these 2 instead.. obviously the lite beer is for Billy haha and the other for Ailidh...

Thats Ailidh, Kim and Alison (the baker hehe)

Friday, Kim was gonna go donate blood and I went with her hoping to do the same.. u know b useful and donate some blood... but sadly I couldn... went to Batam with Jon and my family for 1 night and apparently Indonesia is a Malaria infested place so I have to wait a whole year before I am able to give blood again safely.. worthe the trip though but kinda disappointed...

Look how nice it is haha ... they have an actual centre for donating blood. From what I remember, Singapore does it in community centres, on badminton courts haha..

Kim the regular donor (: she's so chatty.. loves to chat with any random person haha...

Saturday was Grandpa's birthday... he turned 87 years old! got him a nice card and some diabetic fudge for his birthday. Took him out for a nice italian meal and basically spent the day with him.. he had a good birthday (:

*Dear Old Grandpa*

Saturday was Remembrance Day.. Auntie gave me a poppy to wear.. A day to remember ppl who died in all the wars... Went to Rememberance Sunday at church, was a good service.. made dinner for auntie and uncle and came back on the train to Glasgow...

Kim and I were in a giggly mood today for some odd reason. Could not stop laughing, she would burst out laughing and it would get be going and so on and so on haha.. good work out for my abs though.. haha..

Will be heading to Stirling later on for a bball game.. but its freezing outside.. arghhh..

well am away to call Chubs now.. hehe see ya!

Im always in th gym when Im in Glasgow.. and Im always on the treadmills when Im in the gym haha.. so when I saw this video.. i had to put it on.. haha.. thought it was classic! haha..

This other video has been circulating ard too but thought Jon would love it haha...
I couldn stop laughing when I saw it though.. yes yes i get easily amused i know haha.. but whatever gets u through the day.. (:

*Benny Lava*

Went for a "Flat-warming" party last night in the West End.. Jason's new flat that he rented with 3 other Glasgow uni ppl.. the 4 strathclyde uni ppl went together (: as usual, did our little stop at Little Italy for pizza, was a pot luck party. so a pizza is always Angeline's and my solution hahaa...

Flat was filled with Glasgow uni training doctors to be from Singapore.. was in one of the rooms and this reminded me of Jon so much.. hehe ...

And our favourite flavour - period... hehe...

Chubby chubs and Chubby peaks loves Chubby Hubby.. hmmmm...

wish i had some in my fridge now hehehe.... Jon and I were crazy over this.. haha Ben and Jerry's big time fan haha... yumz....

Had to swap shift in order to go for this thing and realised it was a dumb thing to do. We left the party early cos it was boring and heading over to Thinderbox for coffee and cake. We sat and talked for ages. Everything under the sun.. it was well good...

Got invited over to Damus and Angel's flat today for dinner.. Damus made his mom's chicken with ginger and wine dish.. it was good... haha we were arranging the time to go over to Glasgow Green to watch Guy Fox Night fire works and realised, cos I had swapped shift I was on duty on monday instead.. Dammit.. but think Im gonna sneak out for a few hour ahaha.. no one ever calls though.. *fingers and toes crossed!*

Love fireworks... the last time i saw fire works was with Auntie Liz at Marina Bay driving range haha.. having Cheng Tung while the boys were at the range... great view we had.. (:

Auntie Liz i mss cheng teng !!! hahaha

After coming back from dinner, finished up my lab report, got most of it done.. submission date is tmr. Lecturers will only be marking one report but I thought I would do them all to get them out of the way. but to cut a long story short, lab 5 couldn be done yet.. not to please.. hmmmm

PLUS!! someone used up all my aluminium foil!! ALL of it!! GONE!! argh... taking without asking. hate that so much...

haiz..well Jon's in uni now.. (7 o'clock in the morning singapore time) getting ready for a presentation he has to do.. and here's me just abt to go to bed. 9 am lecture tmr morning.. classes all the way up to 5.. not fun..
