leslie peacock.: February 2008

When I heard Laura and her husband Rob would be heading to Dumfries to my aunt's, I jumped at the chance for a weekend away... I was desperate to get away this weekend... Didn wanna be at home... Like I've said before.. Im never away from uni.. its the only way to get away from uni.. and of course see my grandfather at the same time..

Took the train from central on Friday, was lucky enough to hit the rush hour. Got to Dumfries, Auntie and Uncle both waiting for me (: straight to dinner with Auntie Muriel and Uncle Raymond (one of my auntie and uncle's oldest friends).. just so happen the place we were having dinner was having a pub quiz as well, won a box of chocolates from the raffle ~!!

Saturday, Rob and Laura drove down from Glasgow. Rugby was on that day. 3 games. Wales vs Italy, Scotland vs Ireland and France vs England... Not quite the rugby fan, Laura and I went to watch a movie instead... Jumper - not a bad film I suppose but not spectacular either, nothing to write home about...

Kiera came over to spend her saturday night with us as well (: got to love her

Decided to go for a walk on sunday with the dog. Wellies were on, all geared up and did this walk.. got lost.. a 45 min walk became a 2 hour hike... both of my ankles were rubbed raw as I was only wearing ankle socks... not gonna show a picture though cos they look manky~! missed my train to say the least so Laura and Rob gave me a lift home (:

Borrowed Remember Me from Angeline on thursday.. Read it on the train down and the rest of it on saturday night... good book but lousy lousy ending.. really wanna know what happens next with Lexy and Jon.. dont like not knowing how things end properly though.. ): but it was an easy read.. a day and a half it took me to complete it. Got to look for another one to keep me company at nights now..

Tmr is gonna be a long long day... Hell this week is gonna be a crazy week... Need to get organised... Fun and games... Fun and games...

The Student Assistants (my non-existent job which I get paid to do) of James Blyth Court (my halls) got together on Wednesday night for a Pot Luck dinner... (:

Julien, Yoon Sim (senior SA), Angela and Sarah (also my gym buddy)....

Yoon Sim brought these along plus a very yummy orange chocolate mousse (forgot to get a picture of it im afraid)

Damus and Angel inspired - minced pork with vege (broccoli this time) kinda put too much mince haha...

Kelvin Tan Kai Wen --> Cereal Prawns, the one I was telling you about...

Angela made Nasi Briyani... oh Sarah made Chicken curry~!! no picture ):

Julien's Salmon and Leek Tart which he made.. even the pastry and by jings! it was tasty.. we were all truely impressed (: Oh Julien is French by the way... and hates cheese haha.. he tells that to everyone...

Thats us trying to explain to Julien the various dishes as the rest of the SA are from Malaysia.. I also made Bak Kut Teh, knew they would appreciate it (:

All in all it was a good night... first time all of us getting together round a table, getting to know each other.. (:

*on a side-note... borrowed a book from Angeline which I cant wait to start.. got the whole weekend to stick my nose into it (: Borders has been promoting it for a couple of weeks now and Angeline bought it and just finished it.. my turn~!! (:

Rubbish Boyfriends - for anyone who's kissed a lot of frogs....

The one who broke you heart

The one all your mates hated

The one you didn't really like until he dumped you

En route to the altar, the chance meetings with all of her exes brings us to the present day - the maternity ward. But one question remains: who's the daddy??

Cheesy as this book might look, I totally enjoyed it having finished it in 2 days. Quite surprising for someone who use to hate reading. Got it at a reduced rate at Tesco on saturday night.. or was it sunday morning... in-between...

Been tossing and turning in bed... tried to have an early night, tmr being a Jordanhill day meaning an early start. Woke up thinking it would be 4 in the morning or something but it was only half one... finished the book instead.

Sleepless nights back to haunt me? Really hope not.

♥ Pets - Got to love them

*Too fat to scratch my own butt

*Morning walks are killing me...

Which part of quiet didn you understand???

*Hate it when this happens

*This is the life...

*Comfy spot

*Nice Doggie.... GOod Boy~!!

*Power Nap

.... What pets do when we are not at home ...

♥SMILE♥

♥ Happy Valentine's Day Everyone♥

Have you ever looked back at old pictures and thought.. God did I really look like that 5 years ago?? Wonder why you wore what you wore, why you brushed ur hair the way you did, looked the way you did.. SOMEONE sent me these pictures, taken when I was still in secondary school.

Laugh if u have to haha... same peacock then, same peacock now (: well I was super skinny at that time.. see how being in the UK for 4 years can do to ur weight... sigh...

This was probably taken when I was in secondary 1 *

This was taken when I was in secondary 3 haha not sure what was with the smile though hee

And yes I was in the Military Band and I was proud of it.. (: graduated as a Staff Sergeant mind you.. competed in 4 band ranking thingys (forgot what they were called haha) indoors and outdoors.. Outdoor competition were the worst.. hours under the sun marching away, carrying your instrument (cant really complain as I only had the flute to carry haha) but the uniform... long sleeves, soccer socks, barret with a yellow feather, gloves... how glamorous eh haha Ive still kept a set in my closet (: good ol' times

Not ashamed of my old pictures haha.. look just as bad then as I do now anyways (: hee....

Well the window-cleaner came while I was at a tutorial class.. left me with a filthy wet table... how nice of him

♥ Valentine's day should be everyday with the one you love, but that doesnt mean it cant be made that extra special today. (: Just a simple msg to the one you love saying they've been on your mind, or that they are being missed or loved... telling them how much you appreciate them does make that difference (:

♥♥♥

Only reason why I have not been blogging is because I've been trying to get pictures from everyone... (: so here it goes...

2 days before New Year Angel decided to make a traditional cake "Huat Kueh" first try.. found the recipe on some food blog (its the in thing for us now haha looking up these food blog and trying them the recipes out)

New Year's Eve - Reunion Dinner

Had our reunion dinner with a couple of people from Brunei which was fun.. headed out for drinks later on just to chill and talk... couple of shots and drinks later we had quite an excited Angeline and a very red faced me haha... Angeline kinda talked everyone into joining her at the casino.. no one gambled though just watched as Angeline gambled and made money $$ - the Huat cake did her good haha...

Chinese New Year Day 1

Went to China Blue for dinner... just Damus, Angel, Angeline, Chee Hou and myself... a quiet dinner but a really good one.. (:

Saturday the 9th of Feb - Dinner organised by the Glasgow Uni S'pore Society (GUSS)

9 course dinner, more like 9 dishes shared by 13 people for 10 pounds which was kinda rubbish haha good company though... 4 of us ended up going for supper in the end cos we were all still hungry

* with Jean and Angeline

*Damus and Angel

* Jessica - a mother who is here doing her masters in music, not sure what the other guy is called haha.. some guy from Glasgow uni (:

* The people at our table that night

*Everyone wanted a picture with Jeremy haha Jean started it... became a trend that night

Before we went for supper, the Brunei people invited us over to their flat for an open house gathering thingy, something like what they did for Hari Raya... they cooked food but it was all gone by the time we got there... thats why we had to go out for supper

*My flat mate Rizah

Well thats about it for Chinese New Year... The year of the Rat.. (: hopefully it'll be a good year.. nothing much else happening... started back in the gym this week... so far so good, fingers crossed...

♥Valentine's day is just a day away, might take up Kimerley's idea of renting a movie.. This is her routine if she does not have a date on vday.

Sleepless in Seattle or Breakfast at Tiffany's with a bowl of popcorn

Sounds good...Might just do that.. Wont be bothering Damus and Angel or David and Angeline haha... First time spending vday alone in such a long time...

*hope u girls liked my little surprise (: didn have anyone to send something to this year so sent u guys a little something as U guys are always sending me things

STILL waiting for results of exam and reports... should be out soon cos everyone else have gotten theirs already...

-Not a Happy Chappy-

...Talk about having a bad start to the day..

Presentation was today for psychology.... 8 people in the group, brain-storming session last week was torture to begin with. No one wanted to say anything.. only 4 of us were giving ideas the whole way through.. anyways.. I was not too keen on presenting so I volunteered to do the powerpoint with the help of Alison.... Spent friday afternoon in the library doing it and part of my sunday finishing it. Someone volunteered to be the speaker cos she didn attend a single meeting cos she always had something else on and had no input what so ever.. Fair enough.. but to msg me at 8 in the morning when the presentation was at 9 to say she was not coming in for class!!! way out of order... Ended up presenting the bloody thing myself..... not impressed... not one bit

Thats just the start of my day....

After lectures.. it was freezing... and wet and windy.. my foot was throbbing and cos it was presentations, lecture went over-time and we missed the bus. Had to walk to the train station in the rain. Foot still swollen so no shoes yet but pumps.... was miserable and soaked by the time I got home. Promised Angel and Damus I would be getting subway for their lunch.. but it was too cold and headed straight home instead *sorry guys felt really bad abt it...

Was so tired by the time I got home as I was up late putting final touches to the ppt and had to get up early to catch the bus to Jordanhill in the morning... decided to take a nap.. But no!!... they had to start DRILLING upstairs!!!... its been going on for over an hour now!!!

All this before 3 in the afternoon... arent I a lucky star.. (:

♥ Boyfriends Galore ♥

From my peaceful, flat to myself times to sharing a flat with 3 other girls and their boyfriends... fighting for the toilet, toilet seat up, running out of toilet paper, full fridge, missing cups and plates.... hmmm

All 3 of my flatmate's boyfriends are staying for the weekend... well I hope its only for the weekend... haha.. Rizah's boyfriend arrived from Brunei, Natasha's boyfriend who is always around and Sarah's boyfriend who is also always around...

Got to remind myself so that I dont 'walk-in' on them making out in the living room or something.. which I have done in the past.. a couple of times mind you haha... embarrassing moment~! haha..

Finished reading P.S I Love You a few days ago.. it was such a good book, always found it hard to put down to go to bed... it was always a case of one more chapter and I'll go to bed... after 5 chapters I'll still be reading it aha... well like my brother said, the book is always better than the movie.. got to agree with it.. the movie was good, but I loved the book. It make me laugh, put a tear to my eye at one point and chuckle (:

Alison lent me a book called Star which Im gonna start tonight.. maybe now haha.. need to get some food first.. Its already 1.3opm! yikes..

Still waiting for results... waiting patiently aha.. hoping for the best.. ARGH~! what's taking them so long... haha so much for being patient hee..

peeps
