Apple cobbler =)

I have been eating ravioli for dinner about a week straight. Today I had the same and after dinner, my cravings for something sweet made me searched online for recipes. I also overbought apples and they are beginning to grow icicles inside! The skin is also wrinkling. So I looked for apple desert recipes. I found one on the net called the Apple Cobbler. Coincidentally, I have all the ingredients except cinnamon powder. I guess it is not that important so I skipped that. An hour plus later....

Apple Cobbler is born =p

Served with vanilla ice cream~

I only ate 1/4 of it...LOL!

Happiness in the air~

Today is my day off from lectures. I went to Enfield Town with Ching Yee to get our textbooks from the post office there. Again the postman return the parcel to the post office as the postbox was too small...SWT! Anyway, we went there and then Ching asked me to help her out on finding her Ah-Ma black shoes...I mean McD work shoes =p So we went around and we saw some potential black Ah-Ma shoes...I mean...black shoes. She changed her mind 1000 times and finally settled for one not-so-horrible-looking pair. We then walked around to make the best of the 1.80pounds (two-way) we spend for the trip. I was trying on few pairs of jeans in a shop and when I changed back in to my own, the button popped! (Not because I'm too fat, Owh-kay!) So I guess it is a sign =p I bought it! It's grey and the back pockets are studded with Blings =D


Yup...that's one of the back pockets =)
Then we went to New Look to look for new stuff...HAHA! Kidding...anyway, we were looking around and I had the intention of getting a pair of knee-high boots since I got here! LOL! So I tried on a few for the fun of it =p Then I sort of fell in love with a pair and it was reasonable! Seriously! It was 25pounds. (Don't convert!!!) I gave a quick rang to my mum and asked for approval =p It was a positive reaction so I bought it! LOL! The best part of all:
I saw a little clip mark on the side of one boot so I asked if there is a new pair of that size because the mark is visible. So the lady went to check and she came back and told me "This is the last but we will take off only 10% of the price if you really want this pair." So I was thinking...HARD! Then I decided to take it =p So when the lady type in the code, it came out to be 10pounds!!! She typed the code on the other pair and it turned out to be 25pounds! So I asked, do I get the 10 or 25?! LOL! She say...10pounds!!! I felt crazy happy but try not to show it =p Ching was behind me holding the same pair but her size and thinking whether to buy or not. After what happened, she held on to it! LOL! I wanted to ask what about my 10% but I did not. Just in case she say, 'Oh if you want the 10% it will be 25pounds!' LOL! 10pounds is already a crazy deal do die for!!! =p

Nice?! Tee Hee~

This is what I had for dinner...Broccoli,Carrots and Cauliflower, Bacon and Ham ravioli with garlic herbs white sauce and cheese~

African style~

Monday. We can always get sick of Mondays! Long day and again I dosed off in class during the last lecture! Common! LOL! Anyway, today was a little different. We were invited by one of our group members, Aishah to a Birthday Surprise party at the Student's Forum right after lectures. She asked us to come in for a bit to experience a African party. And we did! It was really fun! She told us to be there at 5.45pm and we where the first guests to arrive. We did not bring anything for the 19th Birthday Girl, Winnie and so we decided to help out on decorating the place. We blew countless balloons and my lips were white by the time I finished blowing the last one! We expected Winnie to come in around 6.15pm but we waited till a little past 6.30pm and she was really surprised! She was even crying! Sweet!

We were busy popping party poppers when she came in. The best part of all, we had free dinner! >.< provided ="p" style="font-size:130%;">African food...fried rice and two different types of spiced chicken! Fantabulous! When we were digging in, Aishah and Co. realized they forgot the plastic cutlery! They say they're fine with using hands as it is the African style but they were pretty concerned about the only 3 China girls (us)!!! LOL! We assure them that we are fine and we ate...Malay style! Guna tangan! LOL! The pool table was filled with snacks: UK Mr. Potato Chips, UK Roller coaster chips, Cadbury fingers, Cheese flavoured biscuits, Sweets, Lollies, the Birthday cake (chocolate!!!) and last but not least, Gummies! Yes, we tried all of them! LOL! We also had Non-alcoholic fruit wine. It tasted 100% like Sparkling Ribena!

The whole time we stood near the pool table...keeping our hands and mouth busy!!! I was seriously stuffed! Never ate so much chips for a loooooong time =) We were forced to dance by the African girls too! LOL! A bubbly girl, Ester didn't allow us to leave until we did the 'lift-your-leg, raise-your-hands' move =S It was really a nice experience. There were only like 15 people (only two guys) so it is not a HUGE party.

"Come on you guys, dance!!!"

"We can't dance!"

"I can't dance too! I just go wild like this...(shakes....A LOT!!!)"

Us: Smile/laugh shyly...

"I hope you're not laughing at me!!!"

"NOOOOooo!"

Us: Forced to...*sway left and right*!!! BWahahahha!

By the way, it's all RnB music...so it is not that hard to dance along. Imagine if it was a cultural party...*Imagination runs wild*! Sorry but no pictures this time =( I didn't bring my phone out. Will try to get the group picture from Aishah ASAP =) Owh!!! Also, I got a job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Black out?! Not that bad =)

Yesterday, past midnight (this morning, technically) the electricity went off. I didn't bother to check the time as I was so sleepy. The only reason I woke up was because of the stomping noise people living above me made (shocked of the sudden power cut, i guess) and the absence of the noise my toilet ventilator makes. I looked at the toilet door for a few seconds and resume sleeping! LOL! I don't think I can continue sleeping if I were in Malaysia. Electricity cut in Malaysia is like...imagine sleeping in Genting Highlands and then *poof*! You wake up and see yourself in Sahara desert during the day! LOL! Plus the horrible blood-thirsty mosquitoes sucking your oh-so-yummy blood! The power cut here is like sleeping in air-conditioned room all night! LOL!
Alright. Enough of weather...FOOD's turn =p I cooked this for dinner:
A balanced diet =p
Stir-fry Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots, Onion and Frankfurters, barely-fried egg and rice =)
More fireworks display...this time even more near! Gave me countless heart-attacks!!!
