no wifi yesterday

For those who have been following my blog closely, apologies for no posts yesterday. Reason being that wifi connection was out from last night till this afternoon. Since I was afraid that my mum n friends can't contact me, I used the 5 days web booster on my mobile. Phew. It felt quite terrible suddenly not having wifi at home. Well, it's more like the feeling of suddenly cut off from family and friends back home..and may leave them worried cos no news. I was prepared to go in Uni tomorrow if still no wifi cos I have to submit my assignment on Fri.

And so yesterday I cooked Panang curry using the paste I bought that other day...L tasted a bit and C had the remaining I left (I didn't realise that he was having it for dinner and I packed away my portion..haha!). Oh..and when I opened the canned coconut milk, I got a shock..haha..see picture..

Panang curry..think the camera mode too orangey

This looks better...

This is called coconut milk...

So anyway yesterday evening was quite "fun" cos I was baking with L. Oh ya, C brought home some magazines for me..and L was complaining how come she only gets gardening and cooking ones..hahaa! I enjoyed the pictures in "Wonders of the World"..

And so I asked L again what C works as..she said in some distribution centre. Anyway, I decided to head out cos I had sent my draft to Dr Steve for comments and awaiting reply. So today was deciding between going to Perry Barr (yes, again) or somewhere new. Then I read about West Bromwich and I have a bus there (same bus as I took to Uni last time..with frequency of 30min). Told L before I left but she said I won't like it there...cos area quite poor..then she suggested Solihull..but I checked..I got to take rail and it's out of my student card zones I bought. But I told her there's apparently a new shopping centre there...so I just went to have a look anyway.

Bus journey took about 1/2hr..and I reached. It's a big bus station there and a very nice Sandwell College near by..walked along their High Street first where there's a New Look shop..but the clothes not really my style..haha

their high street

 Then managed to find the new shopping mall called New Square. Oh myy..the place is quite big..and is open air so it was quite chilly! Headed in to my newly-found fave brand (Primark) shop and I spent like 1.5hrs there. Was having fun whatsapping mum n ad to ask for opinion of shoes to buy..haha..thanks to technology, we're like shopping together! Bought a pair of pumps, leggings and a charm bracelet (for L cos it kinda reminded me of her when I saw it)

In New Square shopping centre..

Charm bracelet for L

Then went Tesco Extra and I was awed with the hugeeee range of stuff that they have! They had a big range of Asian food also! So now I know..what I'm after is an extra store..not superstore..haha! Anyway I bought cinnamon powder and garlic granules (in case I wanna cook vege with garlic). Was tempted to buy sugar and flour but too heavy la..haha! Also bought a pair of pumps again! I'm happy to buy shoes here cos SURE have my size!!! Wheeee..and mind you, my shoe size is not the biggest here ok!! They usually have till size 9/43 and some have till 11/45!

My two pairs of pumps!!! To wear with my thighs..hehe

Then walked back towards bus station..

This artistic building is called The Public..where exhibitions are held

Then bought a bag of Granny Smiths for £1..counted..there were 11 in the bag so it was a good deal..and of course, checked that none were rotten. I was thinking I wanna make the Apple Cake this week. Walked to Kings Centre..also like a shopping arcade..had lots of poundland kind of shops. Bought sweet and sour sauce paste for 29pence. While I was there it rained cats and dogs. Good that it drizzled when I walked to my bus stand at the bus station..so was not drenched (lazy to open umbrella again cos it was a short distance!)

After I reached home, wifi still had authentication error..so I tried to switch on and off the modem and see if wifi works and viola! It worked..so whatsapped L to inform. I checked my email and got my tutor's reply while A. didn't get..so asked A. to email to the admin...strange tt it was the admin person who replied with the tutor's comments..haha..she seems like his PA! Hah! Anyway, comments was to add more info to intro and seems like some parts can put into Appendix. All along I was told whatever is to be graded should be in main text and additional info will be in Appendix..but now seems like can put what I find impt into Appendix too!

Not long later, got a call frm L asking if it was raining and to bring her washing in...told her it rained when I was out..so I went to check..all her washing she left outside in her garden were drenched in rain! Today's weather was COLDDDD especially when the winds blewwww! I felt like jumping while waiting for bus to keep warm and then running home from bus stop! But didn't la..my stuff were quite heavy for me to run with them..hah!

Just gave L the bracelet I bought and she says she loves it!! Haha..phew..then she asks if we should have spare ribs tomorrow! She has some in the freezer and took out to thaw..then she said we can chew on them tomorrow..ha! Well, I found out yesterday or the day before that C is a "m" apparently but not a devout one..he just doesn't eat pork.

Looking at the comments frm my tutor, seems like need minor edits and I shld be able to send it off tomorrow! Praise the Lord! Speaking of which, A. will be sending me/us ebooks again on the coming modules!! Really owe him a meal..such a helpful classmate..and he claims I helped him in class..not sure with what except interpreting cos some tutors speak too fast n with slang that he couldn't catch.
