reality really bites

i wonder how
i wonder why
yesterday you told me about the blue blue sky
and all that i can see
is just a yellow lemon tree

heh heh.

- had a pretty shitty week and i was this close to snapping at one of my closest friends here
- moving out soon. sorted out some accommodation problems AGAIN cb problems after problems (long story short, landlord rented out the place without telling the agency mcb). so now i’m gonna be staying in some shithole which i’m not very pleased about. keep convincing myself to like the room. I HAVE TO LIKE THE ROOM URGH.
- met a malaysian working as a chef in one of the jap restaurants here and the fella couldn’t stop talking the whole time he was cooking for us (teppanyaki, they cook the food in front of you) after he found out we are malaysians (from the manglish accent).
- bawled my eyes out watching grey’s anatomy season 5 mcb over the weekend. actually, 2 weekends ago.
- finally bought my first umbrella here for one pound from the one pound shop gah. i know its not gonna last long but hell.

BBQ at the beach when the weather was 20+ celcius. This week it’s back to 10+ blah.

Durham

Durham Cathedral

Paddled a boat!

Before I went there, I heard that Manchester has the best dim sum in the whole of UK.

Well, I wouldn’t say it’s the best (I’ve had better in London) but it’s definitely one of the cheapest.

Had dim sum thrice while I was there.

Lunch, Breakfast, Lunch

After doing some research, we went to this two restaurant for dim sum.

One is cheap (for UK’s standard la)

50% off.

Very packed.

Ordered about 20 different types and the bill came up to about £39.

Some of the stuff we ordered.

The other restaurant we went to is Pacific. It’s not as cheap as Tai Wu but they offer like 30% discount if you go before 5pm and some other promotion. Taste-wise, it’s better than Tai Wu.

(I really really like har kow and siu mai)

err view from the toilet

I think this is the library or something and that’s the trammmmmm

and of course, old trafford.

manchester eye!
