making-sweetness fresh start?
Monday, November 30, 2009 making-sweetness Back to the top

end of block end of block! no pbl to do so i've been going out to the farmers' market, christmas market, glasgow on ice (OUTDOOR ICESKATING RINK LOR!), winterfest, homecoming scotland (did my 1st ceilidh!!!!), 2/3 of the lotr marathon....JUST NOT STUDYING LAH.

and changed my blogskin within 10min. signifies a change in mood perhaps? either way, i got bored of the old one and found it too emo/dark for my liking. it's important to stay happy and see happy, cheery stuff during the cold cold winter months k! it's gonna drop below zero tomorrow AND the winds here are awfully strong ...*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

making-sweetness food, glorious food!
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 making-sweetness Back to the top

as promised, pics from my MICHAEL CAINES trip. the food there is really NOT BAD; then again, it's 2-Michelin-starred so it CAN'T be too bad even though he doesn't cook there. my only grouse? GIVE BIGGER PORTIONS MAN! or issit just coz everything seems high class when served in SMALL PORTIONS on a BIG white plate? hahahhaha...
the FREEFLOW bread basket! there was sun-dried tomato, a french bread thing and one last one which escapes me now. oh...and really good creamy butter! that's matt and his friend in the background. and his nice DSLR! (which he ALMOST left behind in the restaurant)

what jane does when waiting for the food...TAKE PICS! an artistic shot of david who happened to be opposite me...
MY LOVELY SALMON STARTER infused subtly with lavender. the sauce was AMAZING and went really well with the salmon =D
david's butternut squash soup. looks easy enough to make. made squash soup before anyway...hahhahah...my culinary skills have improved much here k!


jason's rabbit and black pudding thing. looks interesting, just that black pudding is just not my thing
the cod main course! apparantly, it tasted really good and yes, it is xiao bai cai you see there.

my MAIN COURSE: PHEASANT RISOTTO with a wee onion at the side! tasted really good and not gamey at all! oh...if you don't know, pheasant is a bird that people in uk shoot down in autumn, during the hunting season. that's if you're rich and famous enough lah...

my DESSERT! poached pear with an alcohol-based icecream. i think the drink is called William-something. sounds weird writing it down. hahahha....BUT IT TASTES GOOD LOR! the alcohol just gives it some flavour without having that obnoxious "i am alcoholic'' kind of taste. aiya...it's something you must try coz it's so hard to describe.

the other dessert! chocolate cake and tonka beans! tonka beans are sort of like vanilla pods so it goes very nicely with the chocolate!
~
oh...then i went to "the left bank" in the evening. it's not too bad, but after having lunch at a michellin-starred restaurant, obviously....my tastebuds ah....hahhahahaha

curry and fried rice. it was interesting but GOOD.
pork belly! not mine of course, coz i will b wasting alot of it since i don't eat the fats.
BURGER AND FRIES! looks good man. reminds me of my pbl outing to KETCHUP this thurs to celebrate the end of this block! =D

carrot salad. interesting taste but not to my liking. should have ordered chips instead

seafood broth! not too bad! but if you don't eat shell-fish and are allergic to prawns, you're quite doomed. like me. hahahhaha
~
ANDDDDDD....the next few pictures are from cell group dinner outing! i felt cheated for the mains lor coz that place is called BAR SOBA but they DO NOT sell the soba as i know it to be. like...what the...sheesh. BUT THE DESSERTS WERE GOOD. among the 5 of us, we ordered all 4 desserts available. hahahhaha. i'll post the pretty pretty scenery from the cell group daytime outing another time.
CHOCOLATE ICECREAM AND CAKE!!!!! yummmmm

PASSIONFRUIT BREAD PUDDING! interesting combination, but a little too sour (coz of the passionfruit)

my personal favourite dessert for the day: MINT AND MOJITO ICECREAM! refreshing, cooling, not too sweet--the PERFECT way to end ANY meal!
~~

ok...i guess i'd better go back to slogging through my "brainy" pbl. at least i managed to finish coursework within the deadline! soooo...finish pbl then do the previous pbl, then mug for anat test. THENNNN....CAN WATCH SHOWS! =D

making-sweetness omo!!!
Monday, November 16, 2009 making-sweetness Back to the top

i'm like DYING now coz i've finished all available episodes of YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL. it's the FIRST show that i like ALL the main guys in the show....coz they are like so COOL and NICE.

i bet all the OTHER FANGIRLS in the world agree wholeheartedly! =D wish they were doing better in terms of ratings though, i blame the (not very nice to watch though TOP is in it) show IRIS. hahahha....i've got good taste ok! not like SOME PEOPLE who get hyper in lectures coz of dr cotton and the teddy bear lecturer, i.e. coughsamcoughcough! HAHAHAHAHA...SAM IS SO FUN TO TEASE CAN! hahahahah...the making out = MAKING PANCAKES thing was THE BEST MAN! hahahha....jul is fun to tease too! coz he is so DESPERATE to avoid e2 (and maybe jac & raach now)! IT IS SO HILARIOUSSSSSS! his PHAIL sleep patterns are super funny too! it's hard to see when he's AWAKE esp since his eyes are PUNY! and matt's imitation of jul when he phoned him (at about 2PM MIND YOU) was SIDE-SPLITTINGLY HILARIOUS. sounded like he answered the phone in his dream and mumbled his way through.....BWAHAHAHAHAH

i want a dwegi-tokki ok! i heard that it can be bought online for 24usd or something. and i wish i knew someone like KANG SHINWOO (played by jung yong hwa) !!!! he is like sooooooooo good can! *SWOONS*

sorry, IGNORE MY FANGIRLING.

anyhows, i will post up a FOOD PORN entry of my meal at MICHAEL CAINES! the starter and dessert were LURVE!!! and pheasant doesn't taste as gamey as i thought. haggis (at least the one i tried for breakfast) actually tastes pretty good too man (considering what they put into that thing!)!!!

but right now, i'm too tired to do anything. gonna sleep early and wake up early to do pbl/coursework. life here really RAWKS man!

making-sweetness when life is too hectic to blog...
Friday, November 13, 2009 making-sweetness Back to the top

ohmy..i've gone from a '1 post every other day' blogger to a 'blog at most once a month' blogger. HAHAHHAHA....i guess that's a small price to pay for LIVING LIFE. it's been 2 months and i just feel like i've lived here for years and have known the people around me here forever.

it's such a funny feeling really, all that deja vu.

anyway, i'll just write something so it doesn't look as though i died here or something. i mean, this IS the west of scotland AND knife-attack capital of europe, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

sooooo...within 2 months, i have been to more concerts than in 2 years in jc, gone hiking up hills with nicer scenary than one can EVER find in singapore, gone shopping and eating out far too often than i should (MICHAEL CAINES ON SAT!!!! 2 MICHELIN STARS MAN!!! OHMYOHMY...HUNGRY AGAIN LIAO!!!! i can't help but say it...), WATCHED FIREWORKS on guy fawkes, go to at least 1 other person's house per week to cook together, watched movies.....
basically all sorts of things OTHER than studying. SOO...I'VE GOT LOTSA PICS STORED IN MY CAM. (among the pics of diagrams of hearts, abdomens, lungs, etc stored inside coz i'm too stingy to pay for the cost of photocopying things XD)

and people owe me pics too! haiz! okok, i'll upload once i'm done with this back pain coursework that is giving me head pains as well.

ohyaaaaaaaaaaa...AND I'VE CUT UP CADAVERS!!! macabre stuff but FUN! got a wee old lady who was really very frail. that poor dear! AND...I'VE VISITED THE HOSPITAL and tried chatting to patients (both real and acting ones). fun stuff! somehow, i can imagine doing this for the rest of my life. gp visit next tues! hopefully i can understand them...=S

so much general updates on my life, it's BACK TO PBL!
