yesterday nite on the way walking out to Byres road... i keep looking into people's flat. I can't help it because every single flat has A Christmas Tree by their window. The more i look, the more lonely i feel. I should have gotten a tree as well! at least that would make it look more like christmas ....

the dinner was excellent! taken pic of the appi and dessert but forgot about the main course only after i finished eating... too gd already...


Goose leg with cranberry sth... lol

Their famous sticky toffee pudding!!! VvVVVV nice!

main course i order the roast chicken breast... yea.. very nice... really vvv nice... of coz the bill is erm... but once in a while esp when i am like overseas not many friends staying back and the point is I AM ON EXCHANGE!!! come on.. i am sure my family today would be gg out to eat also lo.. tho may be not like wad i eat. but i think its okey lah... i dun have Chinese new year celebration for a few years also. So it was really gd to have arranged a dinner with James and Jean (from sing soc here) =) nice dinner and evening. Thanks for your accompany! No. 16!! =D

oh talking about Christmas, at first i tot i would be able to experience very special for an exchange to have... my classmate did invite me to celebrate Christmas with her family. I was overjoyed and never tot that my dream would come true. of coz it was a let down. if not i won't be here blogging. lol.

It was a major let down coz after knowing that I would be back for some family matters, she just keep telling me to go home and saying that i would embarrass her if I go to her place coz her family is "bad"? i was like, why would there people saying their family is bad?! the word she say sometimes made me feel terrible; "it's a shame that u can't celebrate it with you family", "it's a shame ....." . she may be just overconcerned and worrying and for her, unlike most of us my friends, has not been leaving her family or country like we do.. of coz i can understand her feeling. I was touched, at first, but irritated afterwards. I felt like she is just telling me to scram home. That's how i feel. after a while i feel that she dun really meant wad she say. of coz I wouldn't want to think bad about her coz she was nice. Just that i really dun feel gd about it.

And hearing that my housemate did invite me to London, she say: why dun u go somewhere else better... honestly i remember she did say that line. Go somewhere else huh...

She was just totally getting on my nerves. of coz i would sad and irritated. Well, guess we just have to make do with the cultural difference and be understanding... Let phase it this way: she has not seen the world enough... so do i. JUST that, let me be clear, i am a easy to tok to person, if u dun wan me to come just say str to my face. dun give me lame excuses and kacau me once in a while to tell me things that are not related and trying to make me feel that i am the bad guy. I am not stupid. coz that's really mean and torturous.

hm feeling slightly better? yea the dinner last nite did it make better, but still i can't help to think that this year i am having christmas with friends that i met only once or twice. amazing, yet, weird. i guess times like this will bind people together. This is the second christmas with friends only. But the dinner was much better then a few year's back of coz... dunno about tonite's party... the food should be .. like that lo.. ha.. nvm lah. i will update again.

A Christmas without snow, tree and present... oh and turkey. somehow it wasn't within my expectation.
