We’ve Bathed

March 20, 2010 at 23:36 (Elli in Food, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Traveling)

Good Morning people !

Last night was okay !
Went to dinner at the Dragon Bar & Restaurant with friends by using the voucher that we won that day
For the first time, we actually went home early because tomorrow will be the day we going to BATH !

Gosh !
I gotta wake up damn early today because needs to catch the bus to Bath at 8.15 a.m.
I have to admit that I was still half awake
It was surprised that quite number of people turned up today as I did not expect that they will go for this trip
Anyway, me, Ping, Christy and SK went on the Bus “D” and I started to talk to the people behind me. =)

After 2 and a half hour (which she said will takes one hour to reach there) and going through the roads which aren’t that straight, we finally step our foots on the ground at 11.30 a.m
We’ve got a map that shows places that we can visit in Bath

Four of us headed to a place where to take the structure of the buildings in Bath

Ping, me and Christy
LIM SOOK KUN (she forced me to write her full name), me and Christy

After half an hour, all of us are famished because we haven’t take any breakfast yet.
We stopped at Cornish Bakehouse and buy some Cornish.
There are too many to choose from but I chose a Mushroom Cornish ..

Not wasting any more time
We head to Jane Austen Centre
Christy went there before and she said it was kinda interesting
So, me, Ping and Christy paid the entrance fees and went upstairs and wait for half an hour for the tour guide.

It took us an hour to listen to the story of Jane Austen and a tour around the centre.
I couldn’t resist when I see this !
I just love my “E” so much, so I decided to buy it. =)
I’m just proud of it !

After that, we walked around to go another museums
While we walk, we walked pass a place called “The Circus” which only has three trees in the middle
SK said it was their “Feng Shui” to have three big trees in the middle


First shot
After few attempts, finally we are satisfied with this one.
We always did the same stunt in different places.
Just to make us warmer I guess. xD

We continue our journey to another museums.
So little time left yet there are so many places that we want to go
Time is just not enough for us to stop at one place for long

The Museum of East Asian Art

Fashion Museum

The last museum that we stopped were at The Roman Baths
We did not get to enter because needs at least two hours to visit while we only have one hour left because we going off this place
Roman Baths is one of the MUST visit place when come to Bath
Regretted didn’t stop by at this place before any other museums.

*credits to one of the user that I found in Google*

Since we have an hour left, we walked around the Guildhall saw some very cute PIGS which different colour.
So, I planned to take picture with two of it.
First Pig !

Second Pig !

Overall, loved what we saw, loved what we had, loved where we’ve been and loved what we bought
I guess we will pay a visit to Bath again to visit The Roman Baths
hehe

Done !
GOOD NIGHT FOLKS !

December 28, 2009 at 21:10 (Elli in Emo-ness/Sickness, Elli in Events/Birthdays/Holidays, Elli in Food, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Shopping, Elli in Traveling)

Today was a quite interesting day!
Me, SK and Ping wake up one by one to get ready because there’s only one toilet.. =.=
Anyway, once all of us ready, we were trying to wake the boys up
We tried to put out their duvet, pull up the window blind and make noises but they still don’t want to wake up
I guess one last thing that came in my mind is to use VACUUM since his room damn messy and dirty.
hahahhaha!
I can’t stop laughing but to continue vacuüm.
Early in the morning already had so much fun. XD

After one hour of waiting for the boys, we head some where near to have brunch


This is what I ordered Scones with Cream and Strawberry Jam


SK and Ping ordered Wafer with Strawberries and Blueberry


And the boys ordered this. I don’t know what is this called

After brunch, we went to Tesco Metro to get some groceries as we will be cooking sometimes to save some money for SHOPPING! hehehe
What’s on our list?
1) Chickens
2) Prawns
3) Coconut Milk
4) Vegetable
5) Eggs
6) Red Beans
7) Glutinous Rice Flour
8) Ginger and Onions
9) Curry paste
etc.

Me, Ping and SK left the place earlier as we are going to Karaoke to celebrate ALVIN’S BIRTHDAY!

We went to Karaoke Room and surprise him as he did not know that we are coming to celebrate his birthday
Anyway,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALVINNNNN
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!
So nice to have a birthday in London. I wish I could celebrate my birthday there this next year.
hehehhe

 

After few hours of karaoke, drinking few jugs of vodka, Tim Sum and Noodles, we are heading to the Fun Fair


Me, Alvin, Charmine and a guy are gonna ride called STORM which there are 4 people at the corner and the other 4 at the other corner
This STORM will turn 360 degrees.
Seriously, I like this. Even though, I have to pay £ 4.00 per ride for around 13 rounds I guess.
IT’S WORTH TO RIDE THIS!! XD

After the ride, Me , Ping and SK heading home to make “Tong Yuen”.
It just needs easy steps to make “Tong Yuen”
I showed them the first round

After that, I boil the ginger water while Ping, SK, Min Xi and Yi Zou (The boys) make the round and square shapes
 

 Second round of Tong Yuen
This time is with Alvin, Edison, Chun Shiun and Charmaine. They came to our place once they finish their dinner.
We just dropped by to eat Tong Yuen and so nice of them that they will supposely drop by to have the Tong Yuen we made!

Birthday Boy
Charmaine

Even though doesn’t have red and green but its okay. Never thought of can have it in UK
The shapes was quite uneven. hahaha!
Anyway, Good Job guys!!

Alvin aka The Birthday Boy is a very good tester. He will comment anything when food put in his mouth.
He said the Ginger Soup don’t have enough Ginger
And remember I told you guys that me and SK prepared Cookies and Brownie for him
He did gave the comment for that and even compared between me and SK 
hahaha!


These Yam Pau is for me, SK and Ping cuz we did not take dinner.
So damn hungry!

After this, they went to watch 3D Avatar.
They invited us to go with them but we did not want to join as we have other plan to do..
I heard they said the movie was quite nice.
Will watch that when I have free time..
heheh

First Day in London

December 28, 2009 at 21:09 (Elli in Food, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Traveling)

It was raining when we were heading to the bus stop
Me and SK was pretty wet and our luggage were wet too!
Luckily, this bus doesn’t have a lot of people so me, SK and Ping occupied the seats to dry our coat

From Portsmouth to London will takes around 2 hours to reach
Since I got back my phone, I went online in the bus and chat with my friends
ALEX was the one that chat with me during this two hours and I didn’t take a nap

Anyway, it was snowing along the way to London 
It was pretty nice actually because we passed by few mountains and it filled with snow
Didn’t get to snap pictures as the mirror of the bus was quite blur

It was evening by the time we reached London Bus Station and guess what?
London didn’t snow! argh!
I was quite famished as I did not eat anything since morning but SK’s friend will bring us to Chinatown have dinner when we reach London
Before heading to China Town, we have to  drop by at his house to put our luggage and meet up with some friends of his (quite good-looking. XD)

Venue: China Town, London
With: Ping, SK, Min Xi, Yizou and others (I forgot their names)


I ordered Duck with noodle!
I have to admit that it does tasted nice!! I love it!!
Me, SK and Ping ate quite slow and the others were waiting for us to finish. *shy*

After that, we want to walk after finished our meal
Min Xi leads us to the Shopping areas and it took us around one hour to finished
After that, we stopped by at SNOG for dessert which at SOHO area

Me and Ping ordered “Pure Yogurt with Mango Topping”

Yizou ordered “Pure Yogurt with Strawberries Topping”

I like the yogurt very much!! It’s good for diets and also good for health
I know the weather was quite cold but it didn’t stop us from eating any cold food
hehehe

This interior design of this shop was pretty amazing
The wall is painted on glass and the lights that make the shop even nicer

That’s all for DAY 1!

My muscles damn PAIN today!! wth 
due to played badminton two days ago with friends
It’s been so long since I played sports because I have been doing other activities (as our life are getting more and more things to do)
I barely walk because my muscles will pain and when I moved my legs also pain =(
So, I planned to stay at home for whole day to get some rest 

I forgotten that I brought the “Salonpas” that my auntie bought for me before I came here

So, I took bath and patch it on my hand and my laps.
I feel like putting it all over my body as most of my body is pain (including my ass)

Suddenly, my housemate told me that we are going to Jessica’s House and eat because her boyfriend (ANdy) is in TOWN!
Meaning the BEST COOK is in town!! XD

….

Place: Jessica’s House

While waiting for the Black Glutinous Rice, some of us ended up eating the ‘Sunflower Seed’ aka ‘Kui Che’
We were like having a competition who ate the most Kui Che

After that, we have to walk back home and we realized there is slightly snow
So nice! Wish the snow can be abit more heavy

Now is 0200 and guess what??
IT’S SNOWING!!!!!!

 

That’s all for tonight!
I really need to get some sleep.

Canterbury Trip (Part 1)

November 23, 2009 at 22:12 (Elli in Events/Birthdays/Holidays, Elli in Food, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Shopping, Elli in Traveling)

I was looking forward to this trip as I will be meeting a friend, Alvin over there.
I’m going with Ping and SK for this trip

Firstly, we have to stop at Victoria Station in London to take another bus to go Canterbury
There were a lot people waiting for bus so, it was kinda crowded..

Need to wait for around one hour for the CAnterbury bus
We went to Kebab’s for dinner.

Continue our journey

It took us 6 hours from Portsmouth to Canterbury
*sigh*
It was quite tiring  actually because SAT IN THE BUS FOR TOO LONG!!

Met Alvin at the CAnterbury bus stop. He brought us to take bus from the Bus Stop to the University
It was so nice to sit on the Double Decker Bus and also quite scary at the same time.
Because the bus seems like wanna bang but actually didn’t bang
After that, Alvin brought us to his friend’s room to drop our luggage and then brought us around to meet his friends
There’s one thing which I think is quite funny
He left us a note and stated there LAW AND REGULATIONS which doesn’t look like Law and regulations at all…

Owner of this room – Ivan

SECOND DAY

Argh!!
Gotta wake up early to go SHOPPING !
Here are some University of Kent pictures
 

We have to take a short trip to a place called ASHFORD DESIGNER OUTLET

We separated into two group as some of them haven’t taken their breakfast
Actually, there are nothing much to buy as all the stuff are the designer outlet meaning most of the stuff actually outdated already
I was surprised that I didn’t buy anything here (even SK surprised too)

After 3 hours of walk, we felt kinda hungry so, went back to the Food Court to have brunch
 
The Fish and Chips seriously damn nice!
and everyone been lining up for this! Actually, there is a potato store (I wanted to try that too but I was full)
Before we head on another walk, my eyes were on the Gum Balls
It was so colourful so, I decided to get one for myself.. hehehe

After brunch, we continue our shopping to the sports store
Alvin and Ping gets to buy sports shoe as they (store) are having promotion Buy One and get second stuff for £5!
I saw few basketball shoes that I wanted to buy but I didn’t get it
After two hours in the store, we feel abit tired of walking so, we decided to stop for TEA BREAK while wait for the others
When I passed by a store, theres a lot of cupcakes and cookies display at the store!
I love Cupcakes and Cookies very much!!
So, I ask Ping to share with me~~

After that, Alvin told us that he wants to cook something to bring it over there!
As he said he doesn’t want to go there with empty handed, so, we head to his place and cook
He bought a whole chicken but he do not know how to cut it into pieces
So, Me and Ping volunteer to help him to cut the chicken

I actually promised myself that I won’t cut chicken anymore!
But, this time, I gotta help out cuz I do not want to sit there without doing anything
After cutted the chicken, I have to clean up the place of course!


*MUST BE A RESPONSIBLE GIRL* hahahaha

We went back to Alvin’s room while Alvin cook the chicken and wait for 1 hour I guess.
We went to Shawn’s for dinner

He was so damn busy when I got there
*BUSY COOKING*

I was surprised by the time I walked in, the table is already served with food
All of us wondering what is that.
The way he served the food like how the restaurant in hotel serve the food.

This is our Starter

Main Course

Salmon with Lemon Sauce


Chicken With Black Sauce (Cooked by Alvin)


There’s another Soup that prepared by a girl

END OF PART I

SO, I’m gonna celebrate with her tonight

I haven’t prepare any present for her
So, me and SK went to CommercialRoad to find a pressie for her…
We bought a lotion from The Body Shop

Anyway, we went to Shorties for dinner
I ordered Lamb Chop

Doesn’t taste really nice actually
The meat kinda hard to cut and the french beans not nice!!
I ate kinda slow because I was chatting and laming with them
Glad that I can chat with them whole day!
They made my day even more happier

IT’S TIME FOR MY BIRTHDAY CAKE!!


Blueberry Cheese Cake
I received a flower from them

Great South Run

November 15, 2009 at 02:18 (Elli in Events/Birthdays/Holidays, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Random-ness, Elli in Voluntary Work/Charity)

Great South Run is a charity run which a lot of association either they are for the underprivilage kids, Old folks, Cancer Patients etc.
I joined a club which is Volunteering in Portsmouth (VIP)
What we did is whenever theres an event happening in Porstmouth or the event organized by the club, we can join if we have free time
I had a very small position in this club as Secretary for Children Department
I’ve never been a secretary before but I guess I have to experience it when I have chance

Anyway, our University decided to represent Cancer Research UK 
The duty for the volunteers are to cheer for the Runners
I was so excited because I never done it before

Cheering Bus

The Runner

The Army team

They actually pulling the cars and run at the same time

They even weat costume to run. hahaha*

That guy with the Ambulance thing


I’ve been cheering for three hours today!
Luckily, I still have my voice..
If not I will be suffering right now
I’m really glad that I’d joined this event today
I even get to met new friends.

That’s all for today
I’ve gotta head on to bed as today had been a very tiring day for me
Hopefully, I can wake up tomorrow.. *fingers crossing*

Environment Clean Up

November 11, 2009 at 20:10 (Elli in Events/Birthdays/Holidays, Elli in Lames/Crappiness/Crazy-ness, Elli in Voluntary Work/Charity)

Place: Milton Common, Langstone
With: Volunteer in Portsmouth’s Team (VIP)

The president told us that the site was complained about (in the local paper) as it was such a mess, so we decided to clean it up
Even though, I didn’t really join this kind of event when I was in Malaysia but it would be fun I GUESS
I was supposed to go with Ping as SK wanted to go ‘YOGA’ so, she won’t be going with us

While me and Ping waiting for the university bus at the Bus Station, coincident SK just finished her Yoga session so we forced her to come along with us
heheheh XD

When we reached there, I saw my coursemate, Konstantin,  which staying at Langstone Hall.
He was on his way out to gym so, we just chatted for a while then both of us separated
I remembered he told me before that from Langstone Hall to our Business School needs to take around 45 minutes
I felt quite pity for him tho… 

Each of us given a pair of gloves, a plastic bags and **********(im not sure call what)
It’s too bored for us just picking up all the recyclable stuff so, SK turn on the music from her phone

and guess what

WE ARE THE NEW CSI TEAM (I thought of that suddenly)

After each of us get the gadgets, we separated to gather all the “things” 

CSI – Miss Ping

CSI – Miss SK

AND

ME!!
CSI – Miss Elliza (the photographer)

p/s: the place doesn’t have much trash if compare with Malaysia
