finally no rain!

at last, a day without rain! In fact, as I'm typing now, the sun is up and should be setting soon!

Made egg sandwich for lunch today. Took quite long to boil the egg but it turned out well. Anyway, wore my new jacket to uni today! It really kept me warm..cos I wore a short sleeved top inside and didn't feel cold though it was 7°C and foggy. I was "smoking"! Took some pics along the way

fresh fungi, anyone?

Hmm..can't tell the fogginess

Managed to take the fog against uni clock tower

pic of me in new jacket (as requested by mum)

Lessons today was quite a lot..I don't know if it's cos I didn't have enough sleep or the topics were quite boring..I was sleepy! Ate sweets and wrote notes to keep myself wake =X

Oh yes, I don't think I mentioned here. British Summer Time ends on 27 October 2013. BST (aka daylight savings) is so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. So it means that we will be adjusting our clocks an hour back...which means I'll be 8 hours behind SG time! So for those who set up manual clocks to tell Birmingham (UK) time, pls adjust your clocks on 27th Oct (Sun).

Took out the frozen pork shoulder meat to thaw when I came home (not like it can thaw n time for me to cook!) but probably just marinating it and keeping some to go with either pasta or noodles. I wanna cook more but I don't have much stuff and time to cook also. I don't want to be in their way also..considering that the kitchen is quite narrow. But I saw some pre-marinated steaks put out to thaw too.

*Added: Cooked pork and broccoli and then cooked spaghetti with my packet chopped tomatoes. Kept a portion for tomorrow. Then L said she's gg to supermarket...and she came back, telling me she got bags of carrots for just 18p! And she also got some marked down apples and meatballs..then she wanted to have some meatballs and asked if I want..I said I had mine and I offered her spaghetti too (cos I realised she wasn't going to cook the steaks). Then she said she'll cook all and I can pack some to go with my spaghetti and she'll have half of my leftover portion. So set...but later prob she wasn't hungry after drinking carrot juice so said she's not eating. She said she'll leave it and I can have whatever I want tomorrow. Was telling her tt mum suggested for me to get a thermal food container cos I missed hot lunches. Then she realised she had one and showed me...said I could use it! Wowww! Really God-sent blessing! Haha..anyway so end up she didn't eat my spaghetti (but I told her can help herself to mine if she wants tmr cos I can always cook spaghetti again). I also didn't pack away the meatballs. Guess it'll just be left in the kitchen on stove top?! I'm not sure.

Oh ya! Then L was commenting she noticed I have a small plant in my room..asked if I need a pot to grow it..then asked if I have a tray..hah..told her I just left it in the plastic..actually I kept a tray..keep forgetting to take it upstairs. Then she told me to help her by drawing my room curtains in the day..then she asked if I know why. I guessed was so that it will seem that there's someone at home..then she said there's also another meaning..that someone had died! I didn't realise that. To me, I thought just keep it close since I'm not around and sometimes the sun shines in. Well, I guess it's not the practice here. Then she was saying it's quite an old fashion thinking but she's sensitive cos a neighbour is leaving soon.

Chatted a bit more abt things at home with L too since only 2 of us at home today..C was "sent home by L". She said cos he has to wake up early on wed and she wants to sleep in..then I said hope I won't wake her up tmr.
