leslie peacock.: March 2008

Spent my Easter weekend in Dumfries which is always good. Family was together on Easter Sunday for the usual Sunday Roast (turkey with all the trimmings.. felt like christmas all over again) I made dinner on saturday which was good as well (: Weekend was a bit emotional... which family doesnt have their own little problems.. but other than that it was good to see everyone again... Grandpa looking well, lost a bit of weight but nothing drastic. Mom and Dad called on skype which was cool cos it felt like they were so close. They managed to speak to Grandpa who got to see my mom and dad and Alistair with his new ear-stud (dont ask) haha....

Was back at Jordanhill today for labs... posted pictures of the infamous Jordanhill Ive been talking abt... was a subject for labs today.. Running at a incline of 10.5% and had to jump onto the treadmill when it was going at 14.3 km/h !!! that was just one set.. every set had an increment of 1.2 km/h hahah the treadmill felt sounded like it was gonna take off!! Mangaged to only get to stage 4 which was 17.9km/h I think it was ... and I was in the gym in the morning so you can imagine how tired I was by the end of it..

Strolled down to wait for the bus and the inter-campus bus was late which was uncommon.. waitied for almost 20minutes in the cold rain when it finally came....... usually the bus is a bendy-bus but today it was just a coach... not good.. bus was full and we couldn get on! nightmare!!! realised the next train (train station 15-20min walk from campus) was in 10 mins!! sooooo.... yes we ran for the train... just made it as well.. stopped at Central and had to walk back to halls... to think I pay uni fees and still had to get the train (but was lucky enough.. conductor didn get to me in time hee so free train ride).... prrrfffff*

Front building - nicest bit haha the rest of it is horrible

queue waiting for the bus*

not moaned and groaned abt anything in ages so Im due for one.... hee... my feet are exhausted..... am gonna drag my-knackered-lower body off the bed and into the shower... got to prepare a presentation for tmr's elective arghhh was hoping to have taken a nap but its already 5.35pm....

wish my mummy was here to make my dinner.... yes i know im whinning

Missing this Papa??? hee

Kinda spent the whole day with Alison today... Alison turned up for biomechanics tutorial this morning haha afterwhich she accompanied me in the rain to Central station to get my tickets for Dumfries for Easter.... Both of us did not have breakfast so by that time we were both pretty much.. I'd say starving haha... So Alison suggested a good ol' scottish breakfast at Central... was not a fry up (which I must say, I dont think my stomach would have been able to deal with all the oil) but it was all grilled instead.. didn want black pudding so had more potatoe scones instead... yummy*totally delish*

After our yummy brunch.. we headed back for immunology and then it was our elective class till 4.. and straight to the gym till the back of 6 before I got home... what a day...

Fannie Wannie - got ur "made in Mark's lab/house" postcard and its so nice! thank you (:

Im missing you so much as well ♥

Fannie sent me a post card with a picture she and Mark took while they were on holiday in Phuket (:

My night got even better by 21.27pm ... got a call from Kim and all I could hear was Westlife singing "HOME" live in the background... Kim got tickets to see them at the SECC (big concert hall in Glasgow) today and she called and they were singing that song.. Only 1 person knows how special that song is to me.. so Kim did make my night (:

In case I dont get to blog on Sunday....

Happy Easter Sunday ♥

Couple of friends heading back to Singapore this week or are already back.. LUCKY PEOPLE~!!! *jealous* I wanna go back too but Ive got to face the dreaded exams first and report writing.. 6 exams and 4 reports before I can go home~!! nightmare!!!! well who am I to complain really haha.. so u see, Scottish education system can be just as stressful as the Singapore one...

and Yes! Im waffling... alright I better scoot along and get a bit more work done before I catch the bus back home..

♥ Happy St. Patricks's Day ♥

was hoping to head out to celebrate St Paddy's Day with a few folk like everyone else with their huge green hats, drinking guinness and having a blast with the Irish folk in Glasgow...

but this is me now....

Am stuck in bed with a throbbing headache, sore tonsils, aching every inch of my body and a fever... and I was fine yesterday~! was not feeling to good by 1pm today so headed home, skiped my last lecture on immunology (go figure) haha and have been in bed since... ): not happy at all... hate falling sick away from home... no one to make u soup, no one to take care of u, or to check up on u... bleahz... made myself a huge pot of porridge with Auntie Liz's scallops - Ive only used it for special occasions.. cant seem to get my measurements right when my head's not right... was gonna make just a small pot for dinner and maybe lunch tmr.. ended up with a pot filled to the brim with porridge.. oh well... guess its gonna be porridge for the next few meals...

Well Im gonna go back to sleep... this throbbing headache just does not wanna go away... its just so annoying how u can feel hot one moment, take of ur jacket and then feel cold instantly.. just this cycle of hot cold hot cold arghhhh....

♥ Its times like this I wish I was home

Well.. I did say March was a busy month... and everything kinda happened in a week haha... so here's my week in a nutshell...

Wednesday night - International Night

got asked repeatedly to go for International night with the NTU exchange folks. Was bugged by Sunny all afternoon.. so wth not been for an international night since god knowns when haha..

It was a great night... made it for Biomechanics tutorial and every lecture after that.. quite impressed with myself haha.. Got on really well with them so got invited to help out with Hazel's Surprise birthday part on Friday.. (: I helped with the decor haha...

Friday - Hazel's Surprise Party

The theme of the party was "Dots & Strips" .. didn know what to get for her so decided to get her a top for the party haha well she was the one getting surprised so she came in shorts and a tank top haha...

Spent the whole night pouring my drinks into others haha.. like being the sober one and watching what ppl get up to when they are drunk haha...

2am in the morning we decided to head out to do a jump shot which kinda failed miserably haha.. and it was cold!!!! we all went out without our jackets and coats...

Saturday - Alison's 21st Party

Alison and her twin had a party last night.. it was a good night.. good music and great company as usual.. (: Surprisingly no one from our clique was drinking cos most of them were driving so we were all on OJ and half shandy haha...

Friday night, Jean invited me and a couple of her friends out for dinner to celebrate her birthday as well.. (: it was a quiet affair but a good meal... pictures still with Jean who's on her way back home to sunny singapore - lucky girl

Have a safe trip and good time back home ♥

So that has been my week... back to normal this week... back to my usual routine of work, study and gym - hopefully haha...

Oh and no hot water since wednesday~!!! have been 'borrowing' showers since haha Billy called me a "shower slut" dont blame him though haha... well am off for a shower and then its study time.. haha...

-=GOOD LUCK~!=-

My not-so-little brother will be taking his driving test tmr... All the best Alistair.. Knock'em dead *no pun intended hahaha.... Pass and we'll be fighting for the car over the summer (:

The Dad has to get his heart ready for more "argh!".. "watch out!".. "too fast too fast" haha guess this was my dad when I first drove in Singapore.. okok I may not be the best driver.. but I hardly get any practice!... only get to drive when Im in Singapore which is like 2-3 months out of a year...

♥ oh and hope all goes well at night not that you'd need any luck but u know what I mean haha... eager sister wanting to know how it ALL went alrights! hahaha....

March has always been a 'busy' birthday month... Hope everyone gets their cards on time, give or take a few days hehe... sincere apologise to those who didn get one (:

Its ♥Alison's 21st today and she had to celebrate it with a really boring psychology lecture up at Jordanhill haha... she got a card and cupcakes from us.. Will give her her present at her birthday party cos we still have not decided what to get haha.. nearly got her an ipod shuffle but her twin sister got one for her.. *phew* thank god we didn get it yet hahah.. scratching our heads to figure out what to get....

Nothing much to update really.. Sunday the gang headed down to tesco at a reasonable time of 4pm.. with daylight I might add haha.. Angline was stocking up.. 1 trolley was D&A's, I barely filled mine so technically Angeline filled 1 and a half trolleys haha!! she makes an excellent house wife. She can tell you which washing detergent smells nice, what kind of toilet paper is better, things like that haha...

Was at the 'World's Tallest Cinema' on sunday night as well with guys from class.. Watched this film. Billy came to pick me up and demanded me to drive his car! haha.. he wanted to 'test' my driving abilities.. which I must say is rather rusty.. drove my dad's car when I was home and its an automatic.. last time I drove a manual car was..hmmm my driving test itself I think haha... he stopped his car right smack in the middle of the road behind my halls, got out and said, "U're gonna drive me there." So I did... haha.. got there in 1 piece with a pair if sweaty palms and a racing heart! haha.. guess I still know how to drive a manual haha.. *phew*

♥ Sarah just sent me this picture haha.. said she saw it while she was in Inverness.. (:

Made sweet potato soup (couldn sleep after calling you Auntie Liz haha...) put in a wee bit too much ginger... so kinda have to finish it now... if it was nicer I would have brought over some for others to try.. but its not very good.. will try again haha..

Monday was a really really REALLY wet day... got bored by 7pm so headed down to the gym.. haha Met Fionna and tried the VibroGym for the first time haha.. boy did it vibrate! suppose to help reduce cellulite and burns fat... made my nose itchy thats for sure!! anything to help the figure (:

This morning was nice and sunny, cold, but sunny. But as I sit in my 'Garden Sented' room (finally found refills for my air freshener thingy), I can hear the rain... guess it's gonna be another cold wet night Im afraid...

*Facebook Anthem*

WELL..... what can I say about today haha... it has been filled with laughter, laughter and more controllable laughter... I had tears streaming down my face for most of the day~!! haha....

First lecture of the day, was by this visiting lecture who was Irish.. but then she said something that caught everyone.. the kinda thing that U had to be there to here it... that got Kim and I started... then we headed over to the library to go over the presentation which was fine. But as we were leaving the library something set Kim off and it set me off and before you know it, Kim was bright red and I was sitting on the stairway laughing so hard, tears rolling down my face...

And then!! we had to do this presentation~~!!! and everyone had the giggles... haha just couldn not say a word without laughing haha some presentation it was... aha

Spoke to 'dinosaurboy' properly on skype for the first time today and again I couldn stop laughing!! haha... then I got him laughing haha.. not much of a convo eh? hahaha....

*Alison and Kim haha... all wrapped up, ready to brave the good ol' scottish weather haha.....

Finished reading another book... another 'chick lit' as someone once put it..haha Same author who wrote "Confessions of a Shopaholic" ... Quite liked this book.. liked the ended (: am gonna start on one that Alison lent me the other day... a more serious book this time hahah... see how that goes...

Just got home from D & A's... had dinner over at theirs... good dinner as usual.. never a bad one (: haha...

Took Alison and Max to Rumours for dinner just now... Max who is crazy over Alison has been trying to get her out on a date and has been bugging me to bring him to a nice chinese place... so 2 killed 2 birds with 1 stone (again being the lamp-post, seems like the norm for me now haha), took the 2 out to Rumours for our tea... Max, the guy who wears comic boxers and tries to read them in class...

Max had Singapore Laksa, Alison had Kong Pao Chicken and I had my fav Fish Head Bee hoon with lots and lots of 'kiam chai' hee... they really enjoyed themselves... well they went home with fiery hot lips though haha
