First game of the season, home game against Stirling Uni... who are known to be very rough and cocky...

It was a very close game from the start.. the difference in score never went above 4~!! It was a very close and very very exciting game I must say hahaha... we were shouting, clapping, everything you can think of to encourage each other we did it... (:

And Im glad to say we won..!! 62-58 ... it was a tied game for most of the last quarter... we managed take the lead in the last 2 mins... haha it was pure brilliant... (: the team were to glad to beat Stirling...

Right.. settle down Leslie haha.. still buzzing with excitment...

Just got an email regarding my first assignment... and already its all greek to me.. I mean look at this...

"Comparison of the mechanisms underpinning innate immunity and adaptive immunity: why innate immunity is regarded as being so important to the overall well-being of an animal."

HELP~!!!

Anyone?? at least Ive got till the beginning of Nov to work on it and get my head round it... haha... got to visit my dear old library.. should be able to find something there (:

Oh well.. 9am Immunology lecture tmr.. the joys... got to go ice a really sore ankle.. kinda ran over it during warm up.. *ouch* but thank god its just sore and still managed to play.. phew...

To start things off... Presentation went really well today... Lecturer said it was the most comprehensive and well researched presentation... so yeah... think I deserve a wee pat on the back for that.. presentation been doing my head'in the whole week.. was still twicking it here and there 2am sunday morning.. well at least thats done and out of the way... some smart ass wanted to challenge what we presented.. 'battle' ended with the whole lecture theatre against him haha... what a dumb ass...

Really wanted to go for Body Pump today. So as soon as class ended, headed straight for the train station and kinda speed walked back to halls to get changed, and back out it was to the gym... Was planning on a run after the class but boy was it crowded.. the queue was out the door.. no chance...

clever Leslie forgot to take frozen pork out of the freezer cooking dinner was kinda out of the question.. dinner was what ever I could find in the cupboard..

Went to Tesco extra AGAIN with hall mates this time... needed stuff that I, yup say it with me, FORGOT to buy the yesterday.. (: Im good to go for 2 weeks I reckon..

Been working on the bloody presentation that I totally forgot to prepare anything for tmr's Research & Ethics class.. am suppose to do research on Human Research, pros & cons, ethical problems, practical problems.. gosh.. all greek to me... been surfing the net for the last few hours or so... but am just so so sleepy...

Think Im gonna call it a night and either get up early tmr morning to do it.. or just wing it in class haha....

As I mentioned in my last entry... booked myself in for spin class this morning at 10 past 10.. so was up at 9 getting ready and all.. in the gym by 10am for spin class.. found out that Body Pump was on after spin.. how can I say no to that hahaha... so booked myself in for that.. hence was in the gym till abt half 12 today... (: must say it was a bloody good work out... went to the co-op and got myself 2 scones and a banana.. god I love my scones.. so not good for me.. but love it so much.. not the best scones.. Jordanhill still does my fav wholemeal ones though.. hmmm hahaha (having a Homer Simpson moment) hahah...

Went to Angel & Damus' place for dinner.. couldn decide on where to go so we cooked.. well at least they did haha.. Alistair and I went to ChinaBlue and bought one toufu dish and some roast meat to add on.. good dinner.. (: always yummy food at Angel & Damus' hahaha... (still kissing-ass) hee.. guilty (:

X-Factor was on @ 7.15pm on the telly, couldn get home in time to watch it so watched part of it at A & D's flat.. but had to leave half way to get home and get ready for Amy's birthday party at her flat. Mubina and Nadia got home from work at about 8 and we decided to meet at 9pm. So I

rushed out of Angel's flat at half 8 to get home and changed and all for 9!!! hahah boy was it a mad rush haha...

On our way to Amy's flat... (:

Was a good girl tonight, orange juice and water, no chips or chocolate.. hahah Mubina was munching away, I just held the dips for her haha.. she's the skinny one.. needs to put on weight... hee...

Mubina came up with this whole "Gym-Whore" thing a year ago.. cos we frequent the gym so often hahaha... Ive been going to the gym everyday this week since Monday.. golly gosh.. might give tmr a miss... hmmm maybe not hahaha.. see how it goes.. hee

Right.. this is us being sensible ppl.. well partly sensible.. haha.. we saw a girl fall flat on her front trying to walk in her heels. Wasnt a pretty sight haha.. she was wearing a short skirt so her butt was pretty much on display for all to see.. Mubina and I were wearing heels tonight.. but we wore our comfy slippers and pumps to walk over first and only put our heels on when we got there.. ahhhh see... this is us "using our brains" hahaha.... but I got ot admit.. I should have wore my crocs instead of slippers.. haha my toes were freezing~!!!! hahaha


Well the party was alright... Hardly knew anyone there.. only a handful of ppl I see ard uni and in the gym... manage to catch X-factor's result show on the telly.. totally gutted that that group got voted out.. the other girl group should have gone instead.. oh wells... Everyone else headed over to a club over on Sauchiehall street, but we old farts aka Mubina, Nadia and I, well the 2 of them have work tmr hahah me being the oldest fart, am just tired hahah.... so Im off to bed...

Well how does one spend a long weekend... lets see... For the first 4 weeks Im off thursdays and fridays.. and its only the 2nd week of uni.. but some how Ive ended up in the library all by myself on a friday afternoon doing a group project... go figure (: anyho.. at least my group mates sent me a summary of information they got from books we borrowed.. that helped ...

Like I said, 2nd week of uni.. Library.. dead... not a soul... one place that Ive not missed at all.. I like working in the library though and am glad its only 5 minutes away from where I live.. I seem to be able to concentrate way better in the library.. that being said, managed to finish about 90% of the presentation.. yeah!... Alison came and helped me later on in the afternoon.. 2 brains always better than my one.. (:

the view I had all afternoon, not the best of views though. Dont be fooled by the weather.. it was really good first half of the afternoon and then it got dark and it started to rain and has not really stopped.. till now.. and its 12.45am now... still raining....

Alistair came over for dinner... tried making his favourite "tao you bak" with the fattest pork belly Ive ever seen.. think he enjoyed it... chicken soup (that we got from chung ying) wasnt very nice... too 'mediciny' haha... but the rest was good. Made vege with spicy bean sauce thingy haha, egg with chai por, my fav... Its great to have Alistair to help out. He did some of the dishes when I was cooking and he made the rice. (:

Well Alistair never stays long after dinner hahaha... once fed, he leaves. Who can blame him though hahaha.. nothing much on the tv anyways... Met Mubina and Nadia at the gym.. went for a run.. After doing those runs with SHu outdoors (which Im missing so so much), Im so reluctant to run on the treadmill.. I get sooo bored so quickly.. I start singing to the songs, start looking ard.. I ran for 45 minutes today and it was the longest 45 minutes, managed 7k though which is quite pathetic but I wasnt really in the mood. My hamstrings were aching from that Body Pump class I had on wednesday... not that Im complaining or anything hahah...

After coming back from the gym and taking a nice long hot shower, this was on tv....

I love this movie... I remember watching it when I was still in primary school... and I loved it then, and still love it now.. (: Every girl wants their fairy tale ending .... Watched it with Nicole (one of my flatmates) and we were both just 'aww-ing' and 'ohhh-ing' all the time hahah... pure jealous... wishing something like that can happen in real life haha.. a girl can only dream can we (:

Anyways... I better head to bed.. Ive booked myself in for a spin class tmr morning, so no excuse to sleep in...

Basketball training went really well today... I just find it funny how its the direct opposite to how I play in singapore (more of, WHEN I play in singapore, which is hardly now hahah)

In Singapore, you play outdoors under the sun and basically sweat like a pig. After the game, try to find an air-conditioned place to cool off. Here we play in a closed environment, indoors which is absolutely roasting... and when we leave the sports centre, the temperature outside just cools you off... For the first time since Ive been back, the weather tonight has been nothing but perfect... I was roasting, dripping with perspiration from playing an hour and a half of bball... Weather outside was amazing.. walked home in just my bball shorts and t-shirt.. couldn have asked for better weather haha.....

Thats how sweaty I was... I usually see how wet my t-shirt is.. kinda as a gauge to how hard Ive worked.. cos I find when Im working really hard at the gym, I perspire more... Im a pig I sweat a lot (:

Oh and Body Pump must really be helping me hahaha.. I was really impressed with myself today.. *little pat on the back* I stayed back for a few minutes to do a bit of shooting. And I managed to shoot 5 three-pointers in a row followed by 10 at the penalty spot in a row.. Well for my standards thats really good.. not been able to do that since college days... (: hahah.. all those weights for my arms are starting to work.. (: haha.. bring on the tricep dips and push ups hee...

Had dinner with Alistair just now.. Subway it was again... went for the Subway salad today, trying to not eat carbs after a certain time... and Subway somehow seem to have the freshest bread and salad... had a nice long chat with him afterwards which was nice... Didn realise Ive been in a relationship consecutively for almost 6 years... 3 boyfriends in 6 years.. gosh.. been in a relationship since I was 17.. Single for the first time in 6 years at the age of 23..

Alistair on one hand is looking for someone he can have a relationship with, wanting to know how it feels to have someone waiting for him on the other end, missing him, being there for him. While Ive just not been looking at all... Yeah friends have been trying to match-make me with friends but I just decided if its meant to be, something will happen, so I'll just wait and see.... (:

So Alistair.. STOP being emo... SMILE~!!! (: hahaha... You've just been unlucky.. not met the right kinda girls yet... they are out there, somewhere... (:

Just got back from Mubina's.. haha she just started her job as a barista @ Starbucks (: I miss my working days at Starbucks very much... chatting away as usual... painting each others nails haha girlie stuff...

Off to check if my chicken soup for tmr's dinner is simmering away just fine.. am gonna be cooking dinner for Alistair tmr..

*and just found some random guy sleeping on the sofa in my living room.. hmmm so much for wanting to watch a bit of tv...

Well into my 2nd week of my 3rd year now.. must say its going swell hahhaa... ton of work to do.. and when I say ton of work its no the same as work in 2nd year .. 2nd year were mostly tutorials and stuff.. 3rd year Ive got loads to read.. Journals, articles, books, websites... never-ending.. but its interesting stuff so am not complaining.. (: just that I got to put my 'chick flick romantic' novels aside for the time being (: and then there are the presentations.. 1st lecture and we got told we've got to prepare a presentation for next week.. not a lot of time.. but we'll get it done Im sure (:

Oh and Im glad Ive 'booked' my project supervisor... Not really decided on the topic yet but its something to do with the spinal cord.. My supervisor is currently working on research projects himself.. All of which are on the spinal cord and back pains... Got this book to read from him...

My project supervisor was expecting me to choose him for my project haha.. oh well I didn wanna hurt his feelings by saying my physiology lecturer was all 'booked' up thats why I decided on him cos no one else in class like biomech as much as I do (yes yes Leslie the Nerd)

So yeah, Ive got a couple of weeks to understand more about the spinal cord and back pains and then veture into various aspects of it.. Like say, running with weights or how carrying bags from grocery shopping affects the back or how running can lead to back pain or most common sport with one of the highest back pain records - golf... so yeah loads of things to look into.. but am glad Im on track early on.. (:

Got a couple of hours in between classes and the gym so manage to catch the latest episode of Prison Break .. hee.. I just love it.. heading over for body pump in a while.. new class... all to do with weights.. lots of weights.... every session the instructor works a different section of the body. The weights area of the gym are always full of guys and its really intimidates me, most girls Ive spoken too all say the same, thats why hardly any girls use the weights in the gym. So this class has really helped (:

SHu - Hey.. hope you are doing alright.. I know Ive been really lousy with not being online and stuff cos when I get to go online you're probably sound asleep but promise to speak soon kae... Hope you are feeling better too.. *muacks x

Kelly - hope u got ur belated card (: sorry I couldn send one in time for ur birthday (:

For some odd reason that Ive yet to understand, Laundy day and me just cant get on... why???... this is why....

I dont have any classes today (time-table is somewhat erratic)... anyways... Planned to do my laundry today.. So, alarm was set for 8am, snoozed till about half 8. Got up, separated my pile into 2 piles, packed my fabric conditioner and soap powder in and carried the whole load downstairs to the laundry place. And of all days it had to rain today!!! Got there, key didn work, could not get the door opened. Tried for about a good 5 mins, gave up. Picked up the load and walked to the other laundry place further down the block. Key still didn work!!!

Next closest place was at the Lord Todd's... so trotted over. Half way there, realised I'd forgot to bring change for the machine.. arghhh.. so walked back to the flat... with the load remember.. plus I live on the 5th floor this year....

Got home, got the coins, went back downstairs and to the laundy place @ Lord Todd's only to discover that prices to wash my clothes have gone up!!! Talk about inflation.. 2 pound for 1 load!! crikey!!! it use to be 1.60!!! And Ive got 2 loads, 4 pounds not including the dryer yet which Ive yet to discover the price in 45 minutes time... haha oh joy..... well it has been a work-out and a half I tell ya....

Anyho.... went to for a pub quiz @ the Union last night with the girls... Elise loves pub quiz haha... "Nutcrackers" that was our team name.. (oh and yes Miss Forgettful here forgot her matric card so had to walk all the way back to halls to get it.. Bet I'll lose a ton of weight with all the walking Ive been doing!!! hahaha )

Drinks from the opposite side of the table haha.. only drinks we were drinking was pure H2O from the tap (: we're good girls...

Ahhhh this picture below.. we had to name all the movies.. had to call a lifeline, no prizes for guessing who I called haha... I just knew Alistair would be sitting in front of his laptop so called him to google 2 movies for me hahha....


This is Mubina and I.. really bored as you can tell.. (: hahah.. but the Pub Quiz did go on for ages... we got fed up after like the 5th round and left.. (: didn win though so no diff hahaha....

another 15 minutes and its clothes into the dryer..
