TGIF!!!

It was a very foggy morning today..though temperature was comfortable around 11°C...

Really TGIF today!! Why? Cos I expected to be in Uni Comp Lab for the whole day today but turns out that we can leave after we finished the SPSS practice! So most of us finished before we left for lunch..so in a way it was like a half day today! Of course, I made sure I understood what I was doing in SPSS...but I still need practice. Mon we'll have another set to practise on. Heng for A. and N. to be around again to explain...of course, tutor was also available to help.

In the end I bought bundle plan (£7.50) for 30 days for my hp beginning today (which gives me 200mins within UK, unlimited UK texts and 250mb Internet). I guess my number has been transferred over to giffgaff. Will decide if I want to continue after that or I will just buy any 30days when I think I need the Internet.

And so I couldn't quite decide where to go - West Bromwich to get boots or City to get thai curry paste. Both places I also can buy my leggings from Primark. In the end decided for boots since I wasn't intending to cook curry that soon. I'm thinking of cooking stew prob this Sunday.

West Bromwich Bus Station aka our interchange (the covered part is where we wait for bus but not entirely indoor)

 Went to M&S outlet to look for boots and narrowed down to these

Flat and softer leather (£35)

Darker brown with about 2" heel (£35)

Simple black one which looks like court shoes with pants over (£25)

Guess which I got in the end???? This pair of boots is my most expensive footwear I've owned so far!!! Hope they last since their upper part of made of leather! I was lucky to get yi's opinion via whatsapp..hah. Really enjoy such company while shopping! I don't feel alone! I also bought a pair of khaki coloured casual pants (but can be worn for my work) cos it was going for only £4.99!!

Then went to Primark to get my leggings..and also went to have a look at their boots. Realised their boots though designs some quite nice, they are not made of leather. Then popped over to Tesco..went to see their boots too.

Guess which one caught my eye or had caught my eye before too?

Took this pic to show how small these tropical fruits are when they are exported to UK!

This is the range of Asian food at the Tesco extra..there's Rabbit sweets, Yeo's and Asian Home Gourmet products

Popped by Aldi to check if they sold spare ribs. They didn't have. Saw at Tesco but seemed ex..small pack of prob about 6-8 for about £3 and they put that it's 5/kg?!

Reached home around 6.30pm and it was dark already. Heated up yesterday's half pizza. Then realised that L probably cleaned the carpets in my room and attic cos my shoes were thrown in the bin, stuff on bedside table was put on my drawer table (also my dressing table) and my luggage was not there. Checked with her when she came back...she had put my luggage in the shed (she did mention to me before that I could put there to make some room). Told her I'll prob need it in Dec (cos I put my small bag in there too..and the stuff to pass to mum via R when she comes in Dec).

Tomorrow I'll probably do some revision and work on past year papers, and also try out SPSS again (yes, I managed to download it to my laptop using Uni activation code - very thoughtful of the Uni, indeed). L said she might do somemore cleaning or painting tmr. She wants to get these done before she officially starts work.

Yay! Saw in my email that my Railcard has been dispatched! Paid £30 for it (1 academic year validity) but this will entitle me for discounts when I travel on rail (such as going London or Scotland or anywhere in UK)..and I checked..it's quite a lot of diff from full fare! See if Dr Lee still wants to meet in London..potentially can visit London in the 2nd weekend of Nov but I'll be as blur and I guess not used to it since London is a busy city, I heard.

Happy weekend, everyone!
