Hi all, been blogging mostly about my trips and journeys...guess i should share v u about the life in glasgow for me yeh? Just recently, a friend asked how life was going in glasgow..and that made me stop for a second a think..hmm..good question haha. I never really thought about that question...maybe i did, just didn't really sit down and seriously think about it.... So now i'm sitting down, ready to think!
Next is cooking...i wonder whether my cooking skills have improved not. I dun cook much back in vista so...the only time i can really show out my skills is here! As i hav said before, 3 dishes plus rice for every dinner...so we took turns to cook every of em. ( soup, vege and meat ) So far...i've only burnt my veg once Haha... Overall..i'd say its still alright hehe. Do ask my guinea pigs haha. XD And oh yea...talking about rice... we bought 20kgs at one go and had to walked back with it from the chinese shop!!! ( cheapest we could find , 14pounds for 20kgs, not too bad ) It was the CRAZIEST thing! Friends and i bought two big bags of rice so 40kgs all together but we asked them to put into 8 bags so that each only weigh 5kgs and we took 1 bag each. But..some guys ended up with more as they helped the girls and 1of them even carried 15kgs of rice back to our hostel!!! Bravo!!! We had to stop everywhere coz too many things ( plus other groceries ) and it took us more than 1 hour to reach back. Ok...we saved on taxi though haha. But still insane. =p
Everyone was so worn out, shoulders and back were all aching the next morning! What to do...students what. But it was something memorable XD.
Anyway, my daily routine would be waking up in the morning, eat toast ( we eat it every single morning) ...*poof * and our breadS would just disappear like tat and had to be replenished every two days! Ok, then...go to class...walk back again for lunch ( microwavable lunch ) then back to class...bla bla and soon time to prepare dinner so and so on. It's quite predictable i guess haha.
And as for the weather here...first few days when i arrived it was kinda sunny! But not so much now.....is it because autumn just started? Dont really know..maybe this is how their weather is like. I've been told so many times tat Glasgow is a dull , grey and gloomy place...numbed by those words and thoughts + my own imagination. But...to my surprise...its not soooo soooo bad after all just that it drizzles most of the time...hate to bring umbrella out. So heavy n taking up space in my bag. Ahh..not to forget about the wind~!!! Burrr..... hate it so much!! Would be just perfect if there's no wind! Also, people here are quite friendly as well and I've also seen a few drunk ones... @@They scared the hell out of me!
Last but not least... is the famous scottish accent. Its still alright here. A scottish classmate of mine told me that their accent grows stronger and stronger further up in the north of Scotland which i believe it is true kua... coz 90% of what they say i could still understand. But the 10% of it i had to ask somebody to "translate" it back to me hehe. And again, as for the Scottish food- Haggis and rice pudding is still on my list... Tried Mark and Spencer's Scottish Steak Pie, was not bad too =)
Ok, let me start....!
Arrived here since the 19th of Sept and until this day, it has been like what, 19 days? Near to 3 weeks and i realized that i've done quite a lot of diff things and went to see a few places as if I'm on a long holiday. Was it becoz i've been lazing around at home and practically did nothing except eat, sleep, drive, shop...etc since 12th of Aug? Can't blame myself for that ma.. coz it was my semester break!!! Who wouldn't want to do that?? No need to study, no need to worry about wat to eat in Vista, dun need to worry about transportation...No worries at all back at hometown! Was like heaven to me ^^ (well, except for my results n visa) I even get to pick what i want to eat with my parents! I feel being loved ..gosh.. =) Dang... now i really miss home!!! T.T and its so far far away......
Hmmm...
Ok, anyway i'll leave my tears for later. Basically what i'm been doing a lot here is WALK. Those who want to get fat also have no chance to do that ( except for me ) coz everyday about 80% of ur time outside is just using ur legs to walk around. Walking to Tesco for groceries ( about 30 mins ), walking to the city ( about 15 mins ), walking to other places to buy groceries...some takes up more than just 30 minutes. So its not so easy to gain weight here but if u keep lots of food in room and eat them every single day of coz yes laaa. I feel like a hamster..seriously. i keep lots of food in my room..as if i'm preparing to hibernate. Well..winter IS coming! an excuse for myself..tat's why i'm nvr to stay fit. Got to change my habit!!! Haha... Anyway, it was really tiring lo..hav to walk so much and so long... but once i've gotten used to it. It seemed okay.
