I know i ve created an impression that im slightly retreating myself into my herbit shell in UK here, but I know my reasons why. Being able to study here is a bless, i shud be sparking here. However I dont want to get too carried away being in the limelight or indulging in pleasure. Moreover, I still have 2.5 years here, i guess that are rooms for all that. But anyway i think im having my essence, just a little smudged.

Anyway, went to birmingham for an adventurous trip with chewy and sue today. Have been hearing bout how much gigantic is bullrings from coventry precinct, how cheap is the birm market from cov market, how lovely is chinese food at the chinatown........THis time, the thought of wanting stHing different suddenly popped into my mind. No longer shopping trips.. i want to explore the other part of birm, im sure the onli attraction of birm is not merely bullring..
Arrgghh.. too obsessed to the camera..2nd try.. THis time, it was much better.. =P

The point of today's post was to express my overjoy on a new dish that turned out well. Well, one of the best thing and also the worst thing here is that u cook for yourself everyday. And because u cook daily, u often get bored with the same food rotating and tend to experiment wildly. Of course, stimes it's successful and stimes not.

Today's experiment was suprisingly, successful. In fact, every meal here is kind of experiment to me, as i never cook at home. That day i was wondering how can a home-cooked pasta be, other than in the form of the red sweet tomato pasta sauce.. But as it turns out, pasta can hv other kind of flavours which taste as brilliant as the former one. I made a mustard and honey pasta today, with minced beef and corn (havent eaten corn for so long!!). And finally poured the mustard sauce and mayo to whip up a dish of creamy delight.
I never thought that i can actually do it successfully. Not exactly achieving the standard of restaurants, but good enough for a new chef like pinkiecloud xD

Today is over finally... I cant express how heavy is my heart yesterday nite, buggled by all 4 crucial events in a Wednesday.

Biz law exam din turn out perfect. I knew there were mistakes here n there. But u noe wat, one gal was disqualified bcuz she was still writing when the invigilator asked us to put down our pens and was collecting our answer sheets. But i guess, n i hope the examiner is not going to be that cruel to disqualify, probably cutting few marks from the overall mark. Seriously this is onli the second test that i ve ever had ever since i came.

Social for craft turned out fine and smooth. Due to short term budget constrain, we were forced to bake our own pizzas instead of ordering. Although the wedges were slightly burnt, the chickens and pizzas are baked for sufficient n 'just in time' before they started turning black. Glad. THe other execs prepared lots of food as well, cakes, spring rolls, muffins, chocolate and many more. It was a lovely party. In addition to this, election were rather informal. Pinkiecloud was elected as the treasurer, after losing one vote for the position for president. Anyway im contented. Treasurer is relevant to be incorporated into my cv since im doing acc n finance. N less burden, less commitment, more free time, more opportunities for other activites :D

Presentation was good too. The panels were very friendly. Everyone dressed smartly and looked so professional. I believe the panels liked our idea of a domestic service provider. So guys, continue the effort and the next mission is to work out our real biz plan!!

Lastly, was slightly suprised by my economics assignment. Got a higher than expected mark and good feedback from my marker. Was supposed to do analysis on a country's economy for the past decades. And also assessing the vulnerability of a biz. Well, for the country i did japan, n chose japan airlines as well. Oh ya, thx to wendy who gv me a great helping hand when i was fraught with difficulties assessing the slow-tortoise internet in msia. Hugss...

Thank you. Everythin turned out smooth and well. Despite everything had over, im too relieved to go to bed early. Was rather emotionally high and happy, dancing n skipping in my rooms and along the corridors.. Silly girl..

Valentine day looms. Everywhere is smothered in pink and hearts. Had even done two craft pieces on valentine's theme. A heart shaped jewellery box and a heart-y pillow..

I think the greatest thing i learned from craft is sewing.. I know how to initiate and end a sew now :D

Thanks to the incoming business law test and upper pitch. Keeping me busy and preventing me from being nauseated with all the goo-eyed couples drifting happily around. There's surges of change in relationship status on facebook, shops delighted in extravagant displays, classes disrupted with rose deliveries, and most of my conversations revolving around ppl's plans for the weekend.

Stil, i had a heavenly warm dinner with chewy last nite, as i took out my precious tom yam paste from my drawer and cook tomyam noodles with her. It was a homecooked affair, and very delicious. Had not eaten seafood for quite a time ade. Dessert was a sinful chocolate ice-cream, and we even watched 'gems of life' togeta. Mmmmm.. thx for the company.

Ironic as it may sound, valentines day is an all-important day of the year, spend it with all-important people in your life. Although some guys might be watching their wallets whilst the economic downturn, and ladies are watching their waists as not to gain weight, do have a nice day and scarlet urselves with passion and romance.

Females indulged in love always hv smileys hanging on their faces.

Happy Valentines Day.

ps: speaking bout waist, i think im gaining weight again.

pss: my biggest wish for valentine: all england.

After i woke up from my blanket, i was glad to see tat it was snowing. It has been snowing for the whole week. But the naughty little snow onli visited during midnite, when i was sleeping. N finally today, i got to walk in the snow!!

It snowed today. And yesterday. Beautiful flurries of snow falling down from the sky cheered me up in a way. It wasnt too cold yet, for a short little gal like me. Everywhere is covered with white, and overall it looked so peaceful, clean and cosy.

I should be sleeping, really, because it is already 132am in the morning, and I have seminar at 10 tmr. But blame it on the food excitement, I feel like I cannot fall asleep. So I shall do a quick photo post on this lovely dinner at wing wah.
