This is my plan for my Easter break

In the midst of rushing to finish my report by 11.59 pm tomorrow, I have come up with a few plans for my Easter break.

1. Bake cakes. I love love love love love blueberry cheesecakes, and I think I should make good use of the time when I'm still in UK where the blueberries are cheap!


2. Read at least two books. I'm so in love with Waterstones now. I never knew they provide sofas for their customers to read! But I will buy the books if I really love them, as I can never finish reading a book that quickly, and I don't want to go there everyday.

Even the little mouse is reading. How can I not read then??

3. Go to at least one new place in the UK. Most probably York! Or Edinburgh. Despite having been in the UK for more than 2 years now, I have only been to London, Liverpool, Birmingham and Peak District :(

York

4. Walk around Manchester. There are so many places in Manchester that I've not been to. Probably I'll go to Salford too. 

5. Eat! There are so many good restaurants in Manchester! First in the list, Chaophraya!


Alright. That's my plan. Back to work now.

Nocturnal

It's 2.13 am, and I am still awake. That's not surprising, as I've not been sleeping before 3 am for more than two months, and I've been waking up after 12 pm everyday apart from Tuesday as I have a morning lecture at 9 am. Life has turned haywire. I know I should adjust back my time, but it's not the right time to do so. I promised myself that I will sleep by 12 am everyday once the report is submitted, and wake up by 10 am.

Tada!!


Tada!! This is the present I got for my dearest boyfriend for his birthday yesterday! It's something he's been wanting for a long long time, and most of all, he was surprised!!!

Back to Blogger

So, I'm back to Blogger after nearly a year! I thought I would prefer Tumblr as there's an App for my phone, and I thought it would be much easier. Yeah, it is easier definitely, and I hope there's an App for Blogger too, but the App doesn't make me blog more. I still prefer blogspot, for the better layout, and sometimes I would like to write more than just one or two sentences. And what's the use of App now? I spend literally all the time in front of my laptop when I'm not asleep or attending lectures. But who knows? I might still post something up to Tumblr every now and then.

So, how's my life been? I just want to say, I HAVE NO LIFE AT ALL! My mum was asking me to buy some stuff, and I told her I hadn't been shopping, even on weekends! YES, I haven't been shopping for nearly 2 months. So what's the big deal huh? (feeling disgustingly sour) And obviously she didn't believe me at first. Mum, I know you won't believe that your daughter is severely shopping deprived here in Manchester right? Me too. Sobs.



I'm currently doing my design project- designing a polylactic acid plant, and it's appallingly annoying! I know I know, I've been told many times that in order to be a chemical engineer, you have to learn to design processes and some equipments, and that's what you do as a chemical engineer. I seriously hate the life of being a chemical engineering STUDENT now. Yes, I said student, as I truly believe that being a chemical engineer is different from being a chemical engineering student. At least for the first few years after I've started working, I will not have to stay at home working on weekends, and have sleepless nights.

Actually, speaking of shopping, I don't know what I like about shopping nowadays. I believe I used to know, but after too much deprivation, I no longer like shopping. It's now just a way I complain about my boring life. 4 more weeks to Easter break! I can't wait, but prior to that, two more freaking report to submit.






Back to work. Ciao!

Thank you volcano

So I guess I have been too stressed recently. I realised that my talent in sleeping is gone! The magical touch on the bed that makes me feel sleepy instantaneously is gone! I've been so not in a mood recently, especially after uni started.

Thanks to the volcano that has been causing so much problem for making the school and lecturers extending the deadlines of courseworks and postponing the seminar.

Since I am having a day off tomorrow (not skipping lecture ok??) I cooked 'mee sua' just now. Yummy! It reminded me of home. Last week, I suddenly had a crave for sarawak laksa. So dear and I decided to cook laksa and invited a number of non-sarawakian friends to eat laksa. I can't wait till exam finishes and I will be going back to Malaysia! Er... please volcano. Stop erupting and let me go home please?

So, what did I do during my easter holiday? First week, I was slacking. Second week, I was in Iceland. Third week, I was PARTY-ING!! My new friend Michelle from KL came to Manchester to visit her friend and stayed in Dalton Ellis. She's a great chef and cooked so much food for us. 皮蛋瘦肉粥, 黄酒鸡汤, 猪脚姜醋... Then we had fun and talked and played till 3 or 4 am everyday! Ya that was during the holiday and I wished holiday has not ended :( She's a really friendly and playful friend and I really enjoyed the moments with her in Manchester. Wait for me in KL ya Michelle!

Also, over the easter holiday after eating so much, I became fat.....
