*Happy Halloween*

Had a really good halloween... one filled with laughs, sugar and terrific company... (:

The girls decided to stay in this year as Alison, Lexy, Fiona all have matches/races tmr morning.. so we did the next sensible thing.. made treats and finger food, went over to Fiona's and watched a dvd... Fiona did such a great job decorating the flat.. haha Ive never really celebrated halloween.. so tonight was amazing... my walk to the train station alone.. eye-opener I must say... I met several draculas, the usual fairies, some goths (not sure if they looked like that everyday though.. hmmm), ohh met scobby doo haha.., batman, Fred Flintstone, Minnie Mouse, a giant cotton ball, a CSI agent... and this was just walking to the train station.. hahah..

*cake that Alison made... which looked like this when I got to the flat and left the flat haha... brought some back for my flatmates... they must think Im trying to fatten them up....

The plan was to watch a scary movie.. well being a very scardy cat that I am hahah... managed to change their minds to this show instead... really enjoyed it...

After the dvd... the madness started hahah... Fiona bough face paint...being halloween and all, everyone was well up for it.. haha it was just for a laugh... such a good laugh it was...(: we took turns painting each other's faces....

This was us before any paint (:

hahahah we were all shattered by the end of the night... but its always fun hanging out with my classmates.. all in our comfy clothes, slouching on the couch on a friday night with a dvd...

cant beat that....♥

Was all ready to head to town with Mubina this morning... all bundled up with 2 tank tops, a really thick jumper underneath my winter jacket, a scarf, my mittens, and boots... felt like an absolute cream puff.. but I was cold!!! had my trusty brolly with me..

Got the call from Mubina to say she was ready... both went down.. walked 50m and this huge gust of really strong wind hit us and it was a 180 degree about turn for both of us.. straight back to the flat hahah... and it seems like the wind and rain are not letting up.. getting from bad to worse.. so much for doing my tesco shopping today... horrible horrible weather... heater is on on full blast but there's still a draft that comes in... arghhh....

Forecast for the next few days not looking too good either... no looking forward to Tuesday I must say... yucky yuck yuck!!!!! We had hail stones yesterday... thank god I was stuck in a shop haha.. but got drenched coming home... 1 minute sun is shining, next minute its bucketing down with rain, then sunshine then hail stones!! good grief... wish the weather would make up its mind what it wanna do... to bring the brolly or not to bring the brolly.. lesson learnt from yday.. bring it despite... (:

Got asked to go to the Union last night, but after coming back from the gym and taking that nice hot shower and slipping into my pjs, hearing the wind against the window, it was a very easy decision for me.. To not go. hahah... Ended up watching telly with a couple of my flatmates, their friend and Nicole's (flatmate) brother from Ireland who is over for the weekend...

Conversation of the night... Pick up lines hahah.. and boy did some of them have funny ones.. cheesy I must say hahaha.... a few examples...

• Excuse me, do you have any raisins? How about a date??
• You must be tired from running through my mind all night... (has to be the lamest one)
• If I had a garden, I'd put my tulips and your tulips together.
• Is your name Gillette? Cos your're the best a man can get.. (I had to put this one in Nick hahah everyone loved it hahaha)
• If I could re-arrange the alphabets, I'd put I and U together... (awwwww)
  hahha...

I bet there are like a gazillion pick up lines out here... we had a good laugh about it anyways... (:
Not sure how the rest of the day is gonna pan out... wonder if the rain will ever stop.. was hoping to watch a movie and grab some dinner outside somewhere but at the rate the rain is going... dont think anyone wants to leave the comfort of their warm, cosy and I must add, DRY room... hahaha...

Braved the wet weather and went Tesco shopping... (: Went to Alistair's for a bit before heading back to mine with Alistair in tow.. had plans to meet D & A for dinner but weather got really bad again close to dinner time so we wanted to just go to the chinese take-away to get something simple... Went to ask flatmates if they wanted something and they said they were going to get pizza delivered.. so yeah simple dinner.. pizzas... good bonding time with flatmates as well hahaha..

Watched James Bond - Casino Royale after dinner.. just so that I'll be ready for the new James Bond coming out on halloween (:

Well.. clocks move back tonight so extra hour in bed tmr~!! (:

Was through at Edinburgh last night, playing a game against Queen Margaret Uni.. we lost by 2.. 60-62 Wasnt one of our best games.. went with only half the team and the referees were bad.. like honestly bad.. my captain and a few of the older players were raging throughout the whole match... it was mental... So everyone is determined to beat them @ home now.. (: with better more experienced referees this time who will call fouls and not give free-throws when the player wasnt even near the basket... prrrffff.....

Was sooo tired after travelling back... god knows why... just felt so drained... was in bed as soon as I could... had a 9am lecture and again had trouble getting up... I blame it on the weather haha.. making me very lethargic... horrible...

Well Billy (one of my classmates) invited a few of us over to his new flat to have a look around.. so since I had time to kill I went, with Alison and Max... He had guitar heroes~!! (which was bloody awesome~!!!!!) how could say no to that eh~!! hee..... We all needed lunch so stopped by Morrisons to get a few pizzas. Billy's oven didn have those tray thingys haha.. this is how NOT to bake 2 pizzas... half the topping was left in the oven...!!! hee...

Well, weather has been nothing but depressing lately... winds.. god gosh... really strong winds coming from the north... not only are they strong but they are really cold~!!! I just wanna come straight home to my warm room straight after any classes... yuck... My classes ended at 11am this morning and Ive just been hiding in my flat since... do not wanna be stuck out there.. no siree....

Oh and I must say.. my last caramel mousse thingy went down a treat.. (: know how I had left-overs??? well.. I didn.. by the time I got home from my game, the bowl was washed and cleaned haha... got asked to make another one.. hee so how could I say no to that... (: am free today anyways and I must say.. the whipping of the cream.. sure is a work-out~!!!! bought white chocolate maltesers this time as well.. but hey everything looks the same when it goes down into the tummy eh?? hahah....

Well the wind is still howling away... still pissing down with rain... am so glad that Im not stuck at Jordanhill or something.. wouldn be a happy person I tell ya... but on the contrary... excellent weather for a nap hee... just got to make sure I dont over-sleep and miss training later on... (:

We've finally got a clock in our living room haha... and my flatmates were busy decorating it cos well they were bored basically... no one had marker pens or colour pens to decorate it.. sooo.... this being a flat filled with 8 girls.. we used what any flat filled with girls would definitely have.. nail polish hahah.. it did do the job didn it? hahaha.. made the clock look slightly better... (:

Just have to keep hoping it stays on the wall.. its kinda stuck on with just blue-tac haha~!!!

I was pretty bored... gym was in the afternoon today so evenings can get pretty boring when there's nothing much on on the telly.. so decided to make something.. (: made this caramel mousse thingy which Ive not made in ages~!!! last time I made it was when I was livin in Birkbeck... so went down to the Co-Op with one of my flatmates to get stuff to make it.. took me ages to get the cream whipped.. had to do it by hand.. and boy was my arm aching by the end of it hahah (:

Lousy picture... does it no justice hahah... well I suck at presentation.. ran out of cream for decoration so had to make do... I just enjoy watchin ppl eat what Ive made.. you can always tell if they've enjoyed it or not... (:

4 spoons and a few mouthfuls later... this was what was left haha.. better leave some for other flatmates to try... (: I hardly ever have the time to make anything in Singapore... thats where all my baking things are.. I do miss baking... Carrot cake, tiramisu (which doesnt require any baking but thats not the point hahah), muffins, sunday fudge cake, chocolate eclairs... gosh I could go on... I baked the most when I was in Dundee.. Cos Mrs Shrimpton (my landlady) was an avid baker... (:

Anyho... did laundry today.... all my shorts, t-shirts, socks, sports bras... everything from gym... thats basically what I've washed today~!! nothing else... ran out of t-shirts and shorts... down side of being at the gym so often hahah...


Stumbled up an old CD album thingy that Ive had since Dundee days... old CDs that Ive completely forgot about.. haha.. songs from 3 years ago that were a hit then.. gosh.. they do bring back memories... CDs that were sent to me by old friends and old boyfriend... haha..


Oh well.. tmr is one of my favourite days.. its Scone Day hahah.. Ive declared every Wednesday to be Scone day.. its the day that I'll go to the glass cafe after biomech and get meself a proper scone haha.. I love them, but they are soo bad for ya thats why I just have them once a week.. in moderation in moderation hee.. I do try... (:

Oh and Kelvin was kind enough to send me this.. (:

Spent the good part of the morning, hoovering, moving 2 sofas, bending over backwards, trying to get into those hard-to-reach places with "Henry" the vacuum cleaner, picking up sweetie wrappers, washing ALL the dishes on the table top and sitting around (I sometime call myself the dishwasher haha Alistair knows why)...

Got so engrossed with the whole cleaning thing that I seriously lost track of time.. nearly missed the bus to Jordanhill.. which I honestly wished that I had haha.. psych class was so boring~!! *double triple yawn* 3 hours of it..holy moly my brain was screaming... pure torture... 3 hours on how to build confidence.. not very interesting...

Well made the bus just in the nick of time... sat through 3 excruciating hours of psych and had to get the train back afte walking 15 minutes in the rain.. the joys.. made it for Body Pump.. managed to increase the weights this time round.. as what Ann-marie (the instructor) would always say... "Dont be a wuss~!! Challenge yourself!" .. couldn feel my arms after the session ahahha so much for challenging... (:

Well got home to a semi-back-to-original-state flat.. What could I expect, living with 7 other teenagers... oh wells...

Well.. raining sesaon officially started.. emmm 2 weeks ago? haha.. wind today was strong~!... Imagine walking right... and this huge gust of wind just comes from nowhere and blows straight on till you kinda stop and it pushes you backwards.. or it blows from the side causing you to swagger in that direction.. well thats how strong the winds have gotten over the last few days.. chills you to the bone...

I do apologise for the lack of pictures... nothing exciting has been happening to be honest.. uni, gym, home, dining out on weekends.. that pretty much sums everything up... truth be told.. life here is kinda boring... and I guess Alistair is kinda feeling it.. the lonliness and all.. it does get to you if your're not use to it and alone... time sure does pass really slowly.. well it can only get better not worse cos thats the worst you can ever feel already... so chin up...

I better hit the sack I guess... another day, another lecture, something new to learn, something new to see..

Ive been borrowing dvds from Mubina... I get the living room all to myself from abt 11.30pm onwards and I fairly enjoy the quiet time I get to have.. being able to lie down on the sofa with all the lights off, watching a dvd with a cup of tea or hot chocolate...

When I was in Mubina's room deciding which dvd to choose.. I couldn help but choose The Notebook again.. I watched it in december last year and now am watching it again, totally different state of mind.. but it hit home just the same...

What follows on in this scence is one of two parts of the film that I absolutely love... ♥

This scene shows Noah rowing this boat, wanting to show Allie this beautiful part of the river that is filled with dozens and dozens of white ducks... and its absolutely breathtaking...

The other part of the film that I love and just makes me tear each time.. has to be the last scene... the one where they are both wrinkly and old.. Noah sneaks into Allie's room to see her and she remembers him. Allie suffers from senile dementia so she cant remember who Noah is most of the time.. but at that very moment.. she remembers him..

Allie says to Noah, "Do you think our love can take us away together?"

The following morning, the nurse finds them both, in each others arm, cold to the touch..

and that.. just triggers something in me.. honestly.. I dunno what it is.. I start tearing.. okay I start weeping.. (:

And my favourite quote of the movie has to be.... this is when Noah finds out that Allie has left for New York...

"Summer romances end fo all kinds of reasons. But when all is said and done, they have one thing in common: they are like shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, a fleeting glimpse of eternity. And in a flash, they're gone."

Boy.. arent I a sucker for romance.. this has to be my all time favourite movie... sorry for being all soft and mushy and all sentimental here (: a love story like that just gets me all soft and lumpy... ♥

Only this movie has brought a tear to my eyes everytime Ive watched it.. and there's only one song that can do the same....

Thank you thank you.... ♥

Well... visited the good ol' trusty library today after my morning lecture that I alllllmmmooooossstt missed cos I turned off my alarm instead of snoozing it haha.. got up at 8.35am and was in class by 9am.. haha.. the mad rush sure did wake me up~! haha.. and being the doinky sleepy blur sotong missy that I am.. walked into the wrong lecture hall.. instantly knew I was in the wrong class when the whole class just stared at me and not seeing any familiar faces... didn see any of the few (when I say few, I mean Im able to count my classmates who do attend lecture with one hand) classmates who would loyally turn up for a 9am lecture... so walked out of the lecture hall trying not to look dumb which I think I failed miserably haha..

Anyways... borrowed these 2 books.. hopefully they will help me with my assignment.. arghhh... what do I know about immunology... zilch~!! absolutely clueless.. so its gonna be a real challenge...

I know I should be reading those 'fun' , full of helpful information immunology books.. but I just cant put this down at the moment... I had to stop reading it about a month ago and recently started it again and I just wanna finish it... Been sleeping late cos of this (yes I blame the book)

No bookmark haha... multi-purpose ez-link card.. haha.. works as a book mark too~! (:

Borrowed this dvd from Mubina yesterday and watche it after coming back from the match...

The Jane Austen Book Club

After watching it, was kinda tempted to go get all 6 of her books haha.. really liked the film.. totally recommend it...

Im gonna wait till I finish reading my boring books first before starting on anything new haha.. if not I'll just be setting myself up for trouble... anyho... ankle not doing too well... was really sore this morning and unfortunately kinda swollen.. damm... back to taping and ankle guards again.. arghh.. lost count of the number of times Ive twisted and sprained it... oh well... part and parcel of playing sports I guess... (:

Not a very nice day today Im afraid.. but at least the weekends here... am gonna be making chicken curry and 'instant' prata tmr~!! hee ... really hoping I still remember how to make chicken curry haha...
