End of term and went home with new friend.

I got a new friend home yesterday! It's a tradition here to bring a new Pooh home each Christmas~ He says, "Merry Christmas" to all of you!!

He's all wrapped up and ready for the Christmas fun!! He's wearing jeans and comfy shoes! He's so cute right?? How can I resist not to own him?? I believe if you see him you will give him a big hug!

This Winnie The Pooh is exclusive to DisneyStore UK, that he's not the common one that wear a red shirt without a pant (*shy shy*). Also, he's limited edition with only 4000 worldwide. There's a certificate of authenticity and my number is 2883. Love him!!

Christmas Wishlist

Never deny that Christmas is ACTUALLY my favourite celebration. I love it more than my own birthday, which i only like to keep it to myself and let the truly knows remember my birthday.

Christmas is like a family day to me, gathered together, sharing laughter and love. Not only children, everyone deserves a present, from the prettiest Barbie Doll, to the remote controlled car, to the warmest hug you can ever get this cold season! Christmas makes me feel delighted always!

This Christmas is of course, going to be an extraordinary one. I will be away from my home in Malaysia, missing my family and friends there, and also leave the city of Glasgow to a place I never been to before. I will be in Switzerland for Christmas. How amazing is that????

And this is something I always wanted to see on Christmas. White Christmas. It's first on my Christmas wishlist this year!

Secondly, of course something more that I can keep. A thing. It's the so-cool-yellow-coloured-headphone, Oboe Headphones: Dandellion Yellow!

It's so pretty and it's so me, right?? I'm into yellow for everything!

Third, I want a pair of nice boots! My current one is a bit old and a bit worn out, especially the soles.

I want it to be waterproof and non-slippery.

Forth, I need a nice and simple wallet. My wallet is a bit old and childish now.

This year, I only have 4 things that I wanted to have for Christmas. The rest, I can get it anytime like Winnie The Pooh Limited Edition soft toy and pretty dress. It's just a wishlist and might end up not getting the headphone, boots, or wallet. Still, might hunt for it after boxing day sales when I'm in London for new year to celebrate the end of noughties.

The first one is likely to come true because I will definitely be in Swiss for Christmas, and will hunt for a While Christmas somewhere. Gonna be there with my friend from home. Super excited!!

Anyway, what's your Christmas wishlist???

Am I a shopaholic??

According to definition, SHOPAHOLIC means a person, either male or female, who cannot resist tremendous quality, value and savings, creating an uncontrollable need to shop.

If seriously consider this definition to my own behavior, I am not a hundred percent shopaholic. Maybe 60%, which is not so good either.

Retail therapy works best for me to be stress-free. Will definitely go for a shopping after I've done with a presentation, assessment or exams. As I am not a permanent resident of UK, and not staying in a permanent place, hence I have to move my stuff away each time I go home for summer or longer breaks. If I am really INTO shopping, means I have to move a lot of stuff!

Whenever the moving house scene come through my mind each time I go shopping, I will hold on to my brake, and think twice before I buy. I will shop moderately.

I promise I would not become a shopaholic and only buy necessities! And I dont want to end up like her:

Rihanna

Debut single from her new album- Rated R.

"Russian Roulette"

Enjoy!!




And I really hope I can go to her concert in UK next spring!

I'm broke (for good)

...impecunious by more than £800 now! It's a huge amount that I can fly home tomorrow for my air ticket with that price, and includes some extra money for my duty free shopping!

So why??

I just got myself my very own Ophthalmoscope and Retinoscope! I feel more like a proper optometrist now! You should be scratching your head or have huge question mark over your head what are those stuff? And why do I need to spend a fortune on that?

Keeler Specialist Ophthalmoscope & Retinoscope Set. Manufactured in the UK by the British company. Favourite Keeler instrument of all time!

Tadaa!!

Looks like I have a set of some sort of gun! No! They are not! (BTW, anyone knows if I can bring this through the security of the Airport when I travel with this in my cabin luggage?)

Specialist Ophthalmoscope. Finest in the world!

Then, it comes with a free gift that I love a lot!!! Pocket Ophthalmoscope!

It's so small and I can just carry it around in my pocket! I tried it and it's not bad at all!! Worth more than 180pounds!

The one on the left is a Retinoscope; the right is an Ophthalmoscope. Will explain what they are used for in 2 seconds.


NOW, I'll tell what are they used for.

Ophthalmoscope: an instrument that Ophthalmologists and Optometrists use for checking the health of the back of the eye, specifically retina. Also it can also check the anterior segment of the eye. There's lots of diseases that are sight threatening starts from the back of the eye. Hence it is crucial to have your eyes checked by an optometrist once every two years! And, I can also know if you have diabetes by only seeing the back on the eye. It's the only visible sign in human body in detection of diabetes. The easier one, cataracts can be seen often. I've seen quite a few patient with cataracts now.

Retinoscope: an instrument optometrist used to estimate the power (or vision) of a person's eye. Can also see if there's any fluctuation in different media of the both eyes. It has a better estimation than auto-refractor. And i can only neutralise your power together with other instrument.

It comes with a charging dock so these two things are just perfect! No need to worry about batteries or power supply. I can use them anytime as long as they are charged!

If you catch me around somewhere, ask me if I have my ophthalmoscope with me then I can check the health of your eyes for you! I love to see different eyes!

Aberdeen Angus @ Sizzler's Steakhouse

What do u think of when you first see this picture??

Ugly. Black. Hairy. What else???
This is the well-known Angus Cattle, breed in Aberdeen. There's sheep in New Zealand, and there's angus in Aberdeen!

I am neither a food critic or an advertiser. I share my experience, just like how sharing the Jack Daniel's® Tower in T.G.I Friday with 5 other friends.

Why I talk about Angus? Not because I have a boyfriend who's name is Angus but I have ate Angus Steak for 3 times ever since I came to Glasgow. You can only get Angus Beef Burger in Burger King UK. That's why angus is precious to me.

It was a Christmas Eve when I first went there with my buddies for a wee Christmas celebration. We have not had steak fo quite a while so after some recommendation, we decided to head to Sizzler's Steakhouse for our Angus Steak! Their steakhouse is located at Merchant Square of Merchant City, Glasgow. That is a really nice area for a relaxing lunch or dinner, in an enclosed area with warm atmosphere.

Second time was the time when my friend came to visit me all the way from Aberdeen, and I brought her to this nice and cozy restaurant for Angus Steak. We both ordered Angus Sirlion Steak.

Served with Angus 80z Sirlion Steak with my Cosmopolitan. Table full of stuff!

Yummy!! Love it! Very full after eating this and we did not even order starter.

I love to take picture of candles. No matter which restaurant I am in. Cosmopolitan on the left. I think the scent of liqueur is too strong and made the drink bitter.

Overall the food there deserves 4 star out of 5. Recommended and excellent service too!

And yes, you're right! 2 course lunch for only £6.95! Add 1 pound if u want to have Angus Steak.

On the recent Monday, friends were here, so I brought them back to this restaurant again. This time, for lunch! The restaurant never fails me.

Starter: Pan Fried Mushroom. I love it because I am a mushroom lover!!

Again, my Angus Steak with Mushroom sauce! It's still so good! Love it! I would definitely go there if I want to have steak. Cheap and good!

Friday the thirteen. Unlucky???

The number 13 always linked to bad luck as believe by many. What do you think??

Well, leave bad luck behind and look for clover leaves. I won't say I always have bad luck, but just dont have the luck like winning lottery or bingo! I prefer doing things more realistic and trust myself instead of luck.

Rihanna is always my favourite pop princess, and listen to most of her songs. Follow her news and would REALLY love to see her in person one day.

Then, there once saw an advert, "Nokia presents Rihanna – a live preview of selected tracks from her new album "Rated R". ", and may get a chance to win tickets for 2 to see her live in LONDON!! Since it's an easy competition, I joined...

TELL you what.... I GOT THE TICKETS!!!

What a luck!!! I never ever thought i will get those tickets free.. HOW LUCKY, RIGHT?

The problem is, I might have contact lens clinic on Monday which I cannot miss. Then another must-attend-or-you-will-get-your-marks-down seminar on Tuesday morning. I found train tickets to go down from Glasgow to London, to-and-fro, for about 70quid! The time suits me and includes one night train from London to Glasgow..

Am I going to be so crazy for her, spend 70 quids to see her sing a few songs, then come back?? Is it worth it??
