Total weight of Cadbury Dairy Milk produced per year is equivalent to 51641 Minis.
- Cadbury Dairy Milk sold each year is enough to cover 92 Premier and Nationwide League football pitches, more than 5 times.
- Chocolate melts at 34'C
- Cadbury uses over 23500 miles of foil to wrap a year's supply of Easter Eggs.
- In 1915, Cadbury starts to become popular with it's trademark colour - Purple.
- Over 1,300,000,000 Cadbury Roses chocolate sold in UK each year. {WOW!!}
Cadbury uses enough cocoa to fill London's Albert Hall more than 5 times!
If these Creme Eggs were stacked one end to another, the production from Cadbury can stretch from Birmingham, UK to Australia, about 12,000 miles.
- Cadbury make one third of all chocolate in UK. (That's a big proportion)
Over 100 million Flake 99s sold each year. [FYI: Flakes used to put on top of ice cream or hot chocolate or u can just eat them!]

Still. It's there.
I woke up pretty early on the morning on 9th February 2009, by the awakening sound of my alarm. As usual, I will open up my curtain to see the view outside my window. It is still white. I LOVE IT.
In fact, I made a plan last night, hoping to go to Kelvingrove Park this morning for some captions of the white scene. I was lazy so I didn't. I only manage to walk around my halls, to take some pictures.
It start snowing at 3pm on 8th February, on a Sunday afternoon. Never thought it would be this great with even thicker snow. Me and my friends venture to the city centre, for some different experience.
As for the council of UK, Britain is running out of grit and salt to counteract the weather conditions, so that it won't be treacherous for drivers and motorists, making everything seems to be normal. Now, they do use table salt to encounter all these unexpected weather conditions.
My passion for snow continues, but I dislike when it melts. It will be dirty and slippery which is dangerous for walkers and drivers. Snowball fight, snowman, and snow angel, come true.

Happy 'Chap Goh Mei'
This post is going to be in Chinese because it's about a Chinese festival~ Feels like expressing everything in Mandarin! Enjoy~
一年一度的元宵节又来临了！农历新年还过得真快，可见时间就像‘雪花’那么的飘逸。当然还记得我在Liverpool过得难忘除夕夜，被一堆可爱，和蔼可请的朋友围绕着！好幸福哦！
我们还吃了好吃的火锅呢~开心开心。虽然在那里认识的朋友只知道少过72小时，就很想已经认识了72周或72个月般。到现在，还偶尔会跟他们联系。那也在我的记忆力盖下美好的回忆！
现在，外面大雪飘逸着，好开心。虽然我像个‘乡巴佬’但没关系。在马来西亚一定不可能会有下雪，在那里等到生菇都不会，所以你要了解我。大雪已经下了超过3小时，希望它继续下到明天。那样，Glasgow明天就会有很厚的积雪，又可以堆超级大的雪人和打雪战！很棒吧！赞！
元宵节的月晚，我们会和一些同学朋友聚餐。我会煮海鲜，哈哈！不错吧！如果可以在家和大家一起吃吃饭，然后外面下大雪，一定会是个以众不同的元宵节！期待期待！
祝大家元宵节快乐！

New resolution~
Beginning this semester, I get Tuesdays off! YAY~~~
So, I decided that I should do something different this time,by not having a long lie in my room and watching dramas and variety show. I need to be eloquent in what I am going to do.
When I was down in London, and been using London Underground all the time. I used to see English or maybe Londoner holding a book in their hand, reading it in the tube. I was pretty impressed with that, even my dad said so. I went to Paris last summer and French dont seems to read as frequent as British.
Tracing back with time, memories told me I love to read novels, particularly English (not Chinese, never! - except Bible) when I was a teenager. Expecially in my 13 to 15 years old. It all slows down unintentionally. It is a good habit to read, widen knowledge and increase my language capability.
So...
I decide to read at least an article or a few pages in Reader's Digest everyday. I've made my Tuesdays a READING DAY. Read about something outside uni's stuff. I also got myself a copy of 'Chicken Soup for the Chocolate Lover's Soul'. I will read them and will try to share it here in my blog.
It would be marvel if i can read a book in my room, sipping tea or hot chocolate while it is snowing outside my window~ Wa....
YOU all out there should keep asking me whether I've read anything everyday. Keep me on the track!

2nd February 2009. A date to remember..
I've been very concern about weather ever since I came to UK. The unpredictable weather is sometimes pathetic, especially when it comes to heavy rain & strong wind.
On 1st February, I read on Yahoo! news (click here to read more), it says this February is going to be the coldest since 13 years!! I was thinking, how cold it's going to be in Glasgow?
Few weeks ago, also from the Yahoo! news (click here to read more), British MET forecasted there's going to be heavy snow across UK, but I never really trust it as Glasgow is much damp and humid so snow is unlikely to clot.
On the morning of 2nd February 2009, I woke up in the morning, always hope to see Glasgow blanket with snow and YES, Glasgow is white!!!! I am so happy! It brightens up my day as if it's a sunny day!
Glasgow has ever been this white ever since i'm here but snow melted by noon. This time.. it last until evening. It has been snowing heavily in the morning, starting around 9am for at least 30 mintutes. Snowing comes and go very often and loves to see the feeling of snow sprinkles. There was a time when it snows like whirlwind, very heavily and can really believe what I see. I do not have class in the morning so i am enjoying breakfast, seeing snow out of my window. So happy!
Coincidencely before my 1pm class, my friend WaiLoong MSNed me if wanna go out hav a shot of snow.. That's definitely a "YES". I love snow. So we went for a quick caption before i head to uni.
See the happy faces. I was really excited!
During lectures, (honestly) I was a wee bit not focusing, kept looking out of the window, see if it continues to snow. And yes, it did snow on and off! Was happy n looking forward for class to finish. On my way back to halls, I saw people playing snowballs, I too, want to play!
At around 5-ish to 6, I asked my friend to come out again, fanatically for snowball fight and snowman-making! WHEEE~~~ Now let the picture speaks:
My First gigantic snowball. made for fun or for snowman.. You would not b able to lift it up as high to throw it at anyone.. *Berat tau?!* LOL...
Need support to hold it up
Lying on a blanket of snow.. It's fluffy.. Should have tried to make snow-angel. Feeling of lying on bed and on snow is different. Now, credits to my Nike ACG Weatherproof Jacket, My upper body is neither wet nor cold. BUT. A big BUT here, my butt is cold n wet, so as my legs, jeans not waterproof la~ HAHA.. I dont care. It's a special opportunity to try this. What is it to loose?
Getting Ready
Are u with me?
Boom! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Are we making gigantic 'Ice Kacang'? We dont have enough syrup. Snow is really fluffy.. You can see a wee bit of grass appearing as many bits of snow were scrappeled away by us for snow fight and for fun!
Tadaaa!! Our first snowman!! Can u help me to give it a name?
Here's us, with the first snowman~~ *Frosty the Snowman, ta da da da da da da,...*
Tadaa!!!
I might sound a bit of '乡巴佬' a.k.a orang kampung, but we're just too excited about snowing!!! Malaysia is a tropical country that snow never arrives except fake snow!!
Have a nice week all!!

Then we decided to made him a wife! His wife a.k.a girlfriend is a skinny one. Skinny snow-woman.. HAHAH... I'm happy enough with the end result.
Tadaa!!!

Chocolatier
Chocolate tasting journal......
Date: 29th November 2008
Shop: The Chocolatier, Princes Square
Duration: Approximately 1.5 months
Shop: The Chocolatier, Princes Square
Duration: Approximately 1.5 months
1. Malibu
In Milk Chocolate: Taste like coconut milk chocolate, not too sweet but liquor taste aint strong. [Rate: 3 of 5]
In Dark Chocolate: Better blend in dark chocolate than milk. Just as good. If you dont like it sweet, this is just perfect. [Rate: 4 of 5]
2. Orange
Milk Chocolate: Very sweet, way too sweet. Orange inner bits not that sweet. Recommended to eat bite by bite, should taste better. [Rate: 3.5 of 5]
Dark Chocolate: VERY nice. Never expect orange flavoured chocolate to be this nice. It goes perfectly well with dark chocolate. Yummy. [Rate: 4.3 of 5]
3. Coffee
Milk Chocolate: Its filling melts out! Yum! Melts thoroughly and just as perfect for your mouth! Tantalizing! [Rate: 4.5 of 5]
Dark Chocolate: Also, really nice!! You will eat uncontrollably bite after bite! [Rate: 4.8 of 5]
4. Strawberry
Milk Chocolate: The filling divided into 2 part. Top part is jam and bottom part is like cream. It is sweet, just average. A lil bit sour and just as good. Perfect for strawberry lover! [Rate: 4 of 5]
5. Mango
Milk Chocolate: Too sweet! Not as good as I expect it to be, as I love mangoes. Mango taste not strong. [Rate: 3.9 of 4]
Dark Chocolate: Taste of mango filling is more outstanding in dark chocolate then milk chocolate. Like it. A lil bit sweet but it's acceptable. [Rate: 4.4 of 5]
6. Rum
Milk Chocolate: Nothing special. Eating bite by bite, taste of rum is not protruding. One is enough, will not get another one. [Rate: 2.9 of 5]
Dark Chocolate: Liquor taste aint strong, just like any dark chocolate. It's better to put the whole chocolate into your mouth than bit by bit, so that you'll get the taste of rum better. [Rate: 3.1 of 5]
7. Amaretto
Milk Chocolate: Taste of liquor not appealing. Nothing special [Rate: 3 of 5]
8. Champagne
Milk Chocolate: No strong taste of Champagne. If eat the whole cube, its taste appears. [Rate: 4.2 of 5]
Dark Chocolate: Bitterness of dark chocolate together with Champagne filling is good. Has the taste of liquor and blends well. [Rate: 4.5 of 5]
9. Pineapple
Milk Chocolate: Was amazed by how it taste. Strong pineapple taste! Love it! You'll like it if you're a fan of pineapple! [Rate: 4.1 of 5]
To conclude, I have a question for you. "Am I bloated with chocolate?"
Tick tok tick tok tick tok,.....
Time REALLY flies!!
