Finally

It's been so long since I last blogged. Life has been quite superb and fantastic in Manchester. Lots of pictures taken...

First, the pictures of dear and I in Manchester one Wednesday afternoon. Since it's a half day, we both spent the afternoon walking around the city, from Deansgate to Salford. Sceneries were nice. We can see that many were already preparing for Christmas. Oh, what a wonderful festival, yet to be celebrated in the UK. I am desperately looking forward to it. I love Christmas. Will there be a white christmas in Manchester? I pray.

Friday, after lectures we went to Taiwu. I call it the best Chinese restaurant in Manchester--cheap and delicious dim sum. Cheap as in relatively cheap compared to other food in Manchester. The things we must have everytime---

my favourite porridge, but not as nice as Lutong cafe's one

chicken feet and pork rib with rice, dear's favourite

chee cheong fan

We walked around before dear had his lecture at 3pm.



I realized I had never taken a picture of the Picadilly Gardens. That day I sat with 'Jesus' (someone in my hall who looks so much like Jesus). I wanted to take a picture of him, but he's just sitting opposite me. I didn't talk to him too. He looked so serious and quiet, while enjoying his breakfast.

saw this in China town.




my oil burner from body shop, got another one for dear as a free gift for my birthday

My ALTON TOWERS TRIP!! I love the garden. Took merely one thrill ride-- The Air. I am not a roller coaster type of person. It nearly killed me. Haha. It was damn cold that day when we went. I got to see trees and shrubs of different colours. It was about 500 acres in area. I'm in love with it. There was a castle in Alton Towers, with more than hundreds of years of history. Now they made in into a TOWER of HORROR. I went in, it did smell very old but nothing scary. There's one more which they said was the scariest. I didn't dare to go in. Haha. It was drizzling but it didn't chase away the crowd. And guess what? I found 20 pounds on the floor!!
