edinburghrrrrrrrrrr

hello hello!!!!

welcome to edinbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (coined by miss huang yiqing, and for good reasons too!)

YAY!!!! we survived our crazy 13++ and 1hr++ international and domestic flights to edinburgh!!!!!! firstly, want to thk my family for all their love and support (and help during packing). secondly, thx TXL for sending us off at the airport on your birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its been an interesting 4 days! it was dreadfully cold, such that u shudder like a leave and breathe "smoke" like a chimney (air too cold that's why). u wrap urself up like a bak zhang (dumpling) and look totally fat and grotesque only to find u still cant stop shivering. and yet the locals traipse by as if it was a warm summer day!!! outrageous!

to my utmost horror, instead of finding myself penny-pinching, i went crazy shopping. for food that is. everything looks so cheap! (cos after awhile you forget to convert everythg into sing dollars). one flake chocolate: 25 pence. OMG!!!!! can u imagine how can anyone stay slim living in UK? impossible! i salute them man. i know i won't last long. prob would have blocked coronary arteries and every other vessel by the time i am 10. and the variety of frozen dinners was simply shocking! but i think my new-found malaysian friend says it well: food in UK sucks. haha. lunch consists of sandwiches... and salads... thats what most people sustain on i think! i cant survive! i am thinking of my piping hot home-cooked food... yum. lets just hope i dont switch to a full-choc diet when i finally cant stand another sandwich anymore.

and shopping! wow! glasgow is shopping heaven! i think all shopaholics should go to glasgow, its definitely a dream come true! its cheap and nice in the shopping centres! their sales are not pseudo-sales, its really cheap. the end-result: 6 extremely broke girls. haha =P luckily their shops close at 5 or 6pm, and we were thrown out into the streets! think of how much damage we would have done to our wallets if we stayed there for one whole day instead of the mere 2.5 hours.... *shudder*

if i have a choice, i think i would spend on shopping then food. its not worth it. i had my first taste of haggis! hmm. but truth be told, i was so humchee i only had one cubic millimetre of haggis. haha and i dont love it. the girls are going to source for the really good haggis though! eeew.

ah ok. i should slack off now. bye folks! yawn.
