Whoops

Went to Glasgow (again?!) for the weekend, this time I stayed 2 nights! To say it was enjoyable is an understatement. To be honest, Glasgow somehow suits me better (in a way) than Edinburgh, probably because I'm a city-kid from young. All the traffic, both human and vehicles, the number of high street shops, the vibrant environment on a Saturday afternoon, and the sheer size of the city.

The main point of going there was for Radiance, a biennial celebration which forms part of Glasgow's Winterfest. Not good, the exhibits were in spocks of buildings spread out throughout the eastern part of the city centre, we went to 3 of them out of a dozen or so and decided to screw the rest and go to George Square instead.

George Square is in stark contrast to the previous buildings that we visited. Sigh, it's times like this I wish the camera on my phone was not 1.3M and that my old camera was still working. With the month-long Winterfest celebrations going on, it's been converted into a funfair themed square smelling of Angus beef, German sausages and deep fried donuts. Aberdeen Angus is simply the best, omg just the thought of it makes me salivate. I don't quite understand this but there are German Christmas markets in both Glasgow's Argyle Street and Edinburgh's The Mound by the National Galleries in their month-long pre-Christmas season.

One thing to note is that the Glaswegian accent is deep, way deeper than the mild Edinburghian and Fife accent. and I took time trying to comprehend it.

Well, that was the height of my stay there, apart from suddenly overcoming a recent 8-month slump in DotA by improving my overall skills and control, and watching one of the most kickass movies of all time.. American Gangster!

Anyway, I'm starving, so I'm going out to get a pizza and microchips now. Plus, I've got a backlog of posts waiting to be put up. So, keep an eye out for this space!

Titles r' Useless

Apparently there are people who care about my blog more than I do =P So, I'll fill it up temporarily while I think of what to write for the future posts.

I've stumbled across this interesting site where lazybums like you lot who're reading this now can do something.. for the world! Apart from the link below, there's a banner which links to the site.. just look above!

That's right.. for every right question answered at freerice.com you donate 10 grains of rice! Through this little gimmick here, I've literally donated the bowl of rice that I had for dinner two nights ago through the internet. How cool is that?

Click on it!

P.S: Thank you people.. for still visiting although the blogger's become a sloth.

15-day Resolution

Will blog about Harnham as soon as I get this essay out of my way. But for now, I vow to:

• Meditate 10mins every alternate night.
• Practice and refine my shuffling skills... every night.
  
• Kurangkan masa yang digunakan untuk lancap.
• Sleep earlier. At 12.
• Wake up earlier. At 9.
• Reduce my sleeping time from 10hours to 9hours.
• Study? .. errrr.. can manage lah.
  

Thank you. Babai. =D

Being Silly

I forgot to post for Friday!
Ah, I'll have to make it up with this piece of crap post.
It seems that of recent my posts have been more of quantity than of quality. Sigh. Anyway, I've got an essay due on Thursday! 2000 words hurrah.. and I haven't started a single bit yet. Oh well, I'll take the entire Saturday afternoon off to work on it.

This means that there'll be no posts on Saturday as well. And probably none on Sunday also since I'll be off for a daytrip to Harnham. It's ok to not know the place, because I'm not sure of it either, I know it's probably 15miles outside of Newcastle. So.. have a good weekend! Drat, my camera's spoiled. Argh.

Nowadays, I'm feeling a lot brighter knowing that the uni term's coming to an end, which means being able to sleep late and wake up late (which is what I've been doing since a month ago), not needing to attend the sleepy lectures, and having lots of time to slack around and start reading up for my Accountancy 1A and Economics end-of-term exams.

Best thing of all, is I'll be getting to drive! again! in about a month's time when I get back. Woohooo can't wait to feel the steering wheel, gearstick.. ahhh... i love driving so much.

I'll end with this handsome photo of me-staring-at-the-computer-screen to look at for the postless weekend. Remember to place it on an altar and worship it okay? Yea that's right! Yeah...

What a sohai yeng look. All the girls not gonna fall for me man..

Frankly Speaking

I wish I had a camera.. that was working. after whatever wild things that happened last night after Reuben-my flatmate's birthday.

Through thorough testings and experimentations (bullsh*t), the newest beer that's come up to the top of my list of beers, is not that shitty Tennents, although Tennents beats the crap out of pumps, is Corona. It's not got that shitty beer taste from malt in it, which I'm not too fond of, it's got a mild taste with a faint whiff of lime in it. So yes Corona Extra beats Carlsberg Export, beats Stella Artois (the UK one, not the import, the import beats all these), beats Strongbow, beats Tiger (<-- definitely). next to try is Kronenbourg 1664, and the famous Bud. Everyone's talking about Bud, and Heineken.

One of the only clear bottle beers.

But then that's beer, nothing beats sipping Baileys listening to jazz in a dimly-lit bar. I'm beginning to love the life and philosophy here. Why? Because everytime it happens, there's this faint feeling of rejoice and light-headedness accompanied not by the thoughts of tomorrow, just of the thought of crashing into bed at the end of the night and waking up to the sounds of Jack Johnson in the late morning.

By the way, I wasn't drunk at all. No really. I'm not hungover either if that's what you're thinking.
