Week 06/10/13I

Yo. It's another weekend gone. I was working nightshift last week. It was not too bad actually. Got a bit exciting on the last day of my nights which quickly descended to feeling completely useless and shiet..... Anyways, can't really remember much of what I did the previous week.

Went for lunch with Mr Dino's family (aunts, uncle and gran) at the Chophouse. It's this little place in Merchant City, which is quite nice and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, my order of main wasn't great, so nothing to rave about. I don't have pictures of what everyone else ate (except Mr Dino's of course)... which is a shame. Because, everyone else is saying how tasty their food was and I was like....ehhhh.

Right,picture time!!

The Chophouse 

Me at the non-entry door - wearing new faux leather jacket and a cream dress... 

My starter - bbq chicken wings, was superb!! So succulent and niceee

Mr Dino's pan fried mushrooms- was nice as well lol

My pork chops with mash and apple sauce - very bland and dry pork chops, and the apple sauce not very nice. Though, the mash was tasty.....-_- 

Mr Dino's braised steak - very yummyyy. 

Others had steak, fish and chips and also haggis. All sounds and looks so much nicer than mine....:((

To compensate for the rubbish pork chops - got a knickerbocker glory which is niiicceee

I want to go back there to try something else!! So unfair!! 

So, let's see. What else happened... went for dinner with Mr Dino on Friday night at Panda House for chinese buffet. Was good as usual. Aimed for the prawns immediately.. heheh. No pics as been there so many times... but

My OOTD - panda T-shirt and denim like dungaree high waisted skirt 

Side profile

I look a little fat in the dungarees.... it is a little loose for me. :(

Oh, I have also booked tickets to go back to Malaysia this Dec-Jan!! Excited!! I am going home after more than a year lol... Argghhh. There shalt be loads of eating. Hahahahhaa. 

Okay, I have run out of things to write now... tomorrow is Mr Dino's birthday. Will update more on that next week :D

Week 02/08/13

What's upppp. It's August. I cannot believe it. I am changing jobs in a 2 days. I'm not feeling anything at all. I seriously think I'm in a bit of a denial.... 

Anyways, was on a surgical leaving night dinner and sort of a night out thing on Friday. Went to eat at Banana Leaf. Yummilicious as alwaysss.

Tasting platter that I have tried before. It's pretty nice 

My nasi lemak. I have not eaten nasi lemak for a long time now....

Went to have a few drinks in Sauchiehall Street later on with a few of the FY1s. Went to Bar Budda which is quite nice and then of to Polo Lounge. It was quite fun. One of my colleagues decided it was time for her to leave around like 1am. So I went home round that time as well. 

I would like to type a little more, however my spacebar on my laptop is not working and it's bloody bothering me to no end. I am currently typing with an onscreen keyboard and it's kinda difficult to type so I don't really wanna type to long. Continue after I get this fixed I guess.....

Week 16/06/13

This is going to have to cover about 2 weeks of my life haha. Which actually isn't that long.....

So, let's start with some good news. I've got a job now. I'm going to be doing a Clinical Research and Teaching Fellow in General Medicine come August. Really happy about that. I wasn't actually interviewing for that post but they had other posts available that they could offer and I was just happy they can offer me one. I was very worried about not having a job and I'd have to go back to Malaysia or something. But now I can move in with Ryan, at least for the whole year. The job is in Ayr, meaning I would have to travel quite a lot but it's still in Glasgow. It's all worked out pretty good. Hurrayyyy!!!!

To digress a little, I had the afternoon off after the interview in Ayr. Ryan very kindly took me to the interview and waited for me haha. We then went to the seafront for a walk. It was a really sunny day and was so lovely haha. I've never been there and it was one of those really nice sandy beach but obviously Scotland doesn't usually have the best weather for sunbathing. So, the existence of the beach was a waste most of the time... However, here's a picture to make you a bit jealous...

Oh, before that day I have went to Matalan and done a bit of shopping as well. Let me show you..

New house slippers to replace my old ones 

A formal shift dress 

New black formal trousers 

Cream formal trousers

Last Friday, also went for dinner and ceilidh at Sloan's with the rest of the surgical/ortho team. It was a really good night. Unfortunately, I have no photos of that night at all... I know, I am disappointed with myself as well. I was too tired and lazy to take any pictures. It was a really fun night though. Loads of laughter and dancing! Hahah. I also finally got to do the helicopter which had been my dream for a while now lol. How sad..... 

The rest went out later on but I couldn't go. I was working over the weekend, so had to go home earlier that day.... :( 

Over the past week, I have mainly been packing and moving things over to Ryan's. The house is a total mess what with the tiling and all that. It frustrates me. I need to try and clean that place up a little bit coming week... if not I have no space to put my things!!

Yesterday was the summer ball which was held at the Grand Central Hotel. It was an enjoyable night. Drank quite a bit of wine which helped through the night but also meant when I woke up this morning, I was so dizzy and was really sick..... I forgot I have horrible hangovers. 

I still had a lot of fun yesterday. Sat at the same table as the other surgical registrars which is good cause I know them lol and one of FY1 and her fiance. The food was nice and the ceilidh band was good hahaa. I like them and was actually considering them for the band for my wedding lol... (when it does happen). Ryan was too tired and so we didn't dance too much of the ceilidh but did manage a few hahah. So I can't complain really. Oh, guess what?? I won a raffle!! So exciting!! I never win raffles! And we get to choose our prices lol. I chose a meal for 2 at the same hotel. Damn it was exciting!!

Some pictures I took from my phone and also some pre party pictures of moi....

Sorry there wasn't any pictures with a nice background of my whole body...so just imagine me wearing silver shoes lol. And I actually don't like this picture cause my face looks so fat and I look so broad and stout but ....oh well. 

Here's one with a close up of my face. I look freaking older than my actual age..... (sorry I complain too much but I do look old....) 

Our table - named Hampden Park 

Our starter - some vegetable risotto (there wasn't a menu to show what we're eating so I guessed...). It was still scrumptious though. 

Chicken with a pastry lattice and potatos and some veges. Very nice as well though could do a little more of vegetables... 

Chocolate mouse and berries. Again, very delicious but very rich chocolate. 

You can barely see it but there's the ceilidh band at the back somewhere... and that was a spokesperson for Prince and Princes of Wales Hospice for donations. The Ball was held to support charity for the Hospice, if you are confused by now... 

And my pride of my night - my meal for 2 voucher ahhaha 

It's too small and sideways as well but basically it's for a 3 course meal and a bottle of wine for 2 persons at the Tempus Restaurant at the Grand Central Hotel. Wheeeeeeee!! I can't wait

And I spent my Sunday recuperating mostly. I was going to do some cleaning up and building a unit but definitely too lazy and queasy for that. 

See you next week! Ta

GUMS Welcoming Party at O' Couture

Okay...I know this is a bit outdated but I was really lazy to write about it.

So, this is the first Glasgow University Malaysian Society (GUMS) (if any of you were wondering what GUMS in the title meant) activity since the passing over of positions. THE Welcoming Party!!!! This time it was held at O' Couture, which is like a bar/restaurant/pub... It's a fairly new place and it looks really really nice.

So, anyway, the commitee had to be there earlier and I was just tagging along cause most people I know are in the commitee...eg. Jiun, Naomi, Sree... so we arrived there earlier than most people. And one of the main reasons is that they need to collect money for the entrance and all that. HAHahaa...and they took the first couch there for purposes of easy access..

This is where we are holding the party. It's like a basement actually and the seats are soo nice and see the mirrors around them...

This is the other side of it. But, it's not our area.

There's a bar too. SO cooll....

A sign on the floor.

Stefanie and Anna, who arrived as early as us.

Jiun, Yee Jun and Naomi.

Testing out with and without flash.

We waited and waited and finally!! Some human presense...

Scandalous.

While I was being anti-social hanging out at the committee table even though I am not one....:p, the others are playing some ice breaking games. And I really don't know what was happening but I tried to take some pictures of them playing....






Meanwhile some more people still arriving.. I didn't write captions for some pics cause I don't know their names. Sorry...

That's all. And I know the pictures sucks and very candid....
