Going to Leeds tomorrow! Yay! Might meet up with Yiting... so odd meeting up with a classmate in UK. But anyway, it's time to get all my chinese stuff!! Soya bean milk, oyster sauce, dried foodstuff, etc etc. Oh yeahhhh.
We celebrated Cuifen's birthday today... cooked curry for 6 people and afterward surprised her with a cake. And we finished up the ben and jerry's left over from Monday. Ahhh... the chocolate one tastes so good... this is so 'sinful'. At this rate I'm gonna start bulging... and I haven't gotten my track suit exchanged so I still can't run. It's really too cold outside to run. Or should I get used to the cold and just run in fbt shorts? Hm. But anyway Sim, I don't think I'm getting the gloves for now... if it gets too cold during Jan - march I'll prolly buy the membership card for the gym and run in there. I think it'll go beyond -10 deg C... hm.
Anyway I think Cuifen was really happy... she was all smiles. Well I guess every little thing makes you feel happy when you're here. Even ducks and squirrels... (saw a squirrel eating an acorn for the first time today!) and low-standard chicken rice and U2 music and what nots...
We watched The Princess Bride after ice cream. it's really really funny... a parody of fairy tales and stories of the like (hero in shining armour, evil guy and all). was really really funny. There was this part where the hero died and was brought back to life by some odd-looking witches but only his head could move, so he was being dragged around by this massive giant and only his head could move... the rest of his body limp and dragged all over the floor. This other part when the hero is in the Dungeon of Despair or something like that, and this weird, white-haired monster came out and started to speak in the scary coarse voice typical of horror figures... "wellllcome to the dungeonn of despaaiirrr! don't even thiinkkk aboutt.. *clears throat* ahem, excuse me *returns to the normal speaking voice of a man* Sorry, don't even think about escaping from this place alive..." or something like that. Haha. anti-climactic. This other anti-climactic part part was when the hero was struggling with 'a rodent of unusual size' and as he struggled and fought and rolled around with the rodent, the rat happened to roll over a fiery pothole and it goes "ssstttt...." Haha. It's like monty python, only less dark. Oh well.
gonna sleep now...
