AH. sunday was the match between chelsea and man u. both drew. some people tried dragging me to watch at the bar in our halls but i was studyingg! studdying!
saturday was a busy day but i can't remember why. i woke up late. barely did any work then went for nurul's and aliaa's party. wore my sareee. it's damn hard to wear, i look fat o_O haha but the food was good. nurul is an amazing cook. i love the orange, mint, pomegranate salad. and the black pepper chicken that aliaa cooked. ahh. and all the hari raya cookies and sweets. fattening but good. hehe. everyone went mad and decided to gif me a name cos chinese names are hard to remember, and some of the people were having trouble. there was letchmi o_O (cos i was wearing a saree); there was betty (don't ask), i can't rmb.. angelina? haha. okk but i think my name is nice enough okk. so there.
friday. went to the german market. YUM. i had apple strudel with cinamon cream (delicious) and vanilla sauce! haha. and my frens had crepe with banana and nutella. and the dutch pancakess. can't remember what u call them. pflerroteS? haha.. some weird spelling. then they went to drink err.. the german drink.. gerveich? i'm making this up. and they kept the mug cos it's so pretty. i shld do that nxt time. then we went to the asian food fairrr. haha.. had yummy chi food though eddy says it's all chi takeaway o_O but the sushi rice was damn gd!! they put smoked salmon (Which scotland is famous for btw) and seaweed in it. ahhh.. i had half a plate of ricee.. and curry and swt and sour pork and black pepper beef and swt potato soup and a whole lot of irrelevant, non-asian sweets (desserts).
thursday was the xmas light up. it was drizzling and cold. COLD. u get the idea. we stood in the open watching. but it was gorgeous. norway gave edinburgh a pine tree for (something) and they hung lights on it so it became a xmas treee =) it was the opening of THE outdoor skating rink on princes st as well. and they had famous skaters.. some famous guy who was amazinggly graceful and superb. this couple dancers who glided on the ice to the beautiful ballad and make u feel all fuzzy and warmm despite the insistent rain and chilly wind. the amazing 13 year old junior skater. the snowman skater. the sync skaters which was AMAZING. how do like 10 ppl skate in such synchrony? and they wear amazingly little. haha! oh yeahh and the female skater from peter pan on ice (which is coming to edinburgh this january) is AMAZING.. haha man i need to brush up on my vocabulary. but she felll =( and got soaking wet.. but her moves were so beautiful.. ahhh. and it was so wonderful when the fireworks erupted into the sky. so beautiful.. and when the 7 year old girl flicked the switch for the light up, and the whole dark st was suddenly illuminated, the huge ferris wheel behind me beside the cathedral like monument, the little rides scattered along the street, the trees lined with lights. the trees are full of starlight.. (that's from les mis) i felt so blissfully happy and christmassy. and christmas music all abound. ahhh. i want to learn to ice skate all of a sudden. haha!
i can't remember the rest.. it's too long ago.. haha. yay.
