Oh ya, last night was checking my uni email..good and not-so-good news. Good news is my programme transfer is approved so I'm officially in the MSc programme now. Not-so-good news is we have to submit our research timeline by 10 Jan, which is before uni starts again!! I thought we'll be given a real Christmas/New Year break! Oh well..anyway I should be able to do it by then la.
My Scotland trip was amazing!!! I enjoyed the beautiful scenery a LOT! The accent is pretty interesting too..hahah..and I bought a Scottish music CD too cos I quite like it after listening to it on the day trip. I enjoyed the day trip to Oban, Glencoe and Loch Lomond most! Both guides at Edinburgh and Glasgow were v lihai..driver-cum-guide and can crack jokes somemore. The one in Edinburgh was a female..v 'high' but too bad the group wasn't tt responsive..hah! Met a fellow SGrean on the Glasgow day trip and so coincidental that he stayed in same hotel and same level even cos happen to bump into him that morning of the day trip and then in the minibus!
Will send invites to online photo album soon. Really recommend Scotland for those who enjoy taking photos..and well, shopping too. I got 2 dresses and 1 pair of skinny jeans from Primark cos they were marked down! Shopping there is much more than here, definitely. Weather-wise, it was v nice cool weather during our day trips, thankfully...but it was very windy and rainy in the evenings/nights. Heng I brought my thick jacket and also high boots. Seems that the weather in Bham was also similar..but I spent quite a bit on this 6-day trip but still cheaper than travelling from SG!
Came home and saw a card from my Uni Chaplain pastor and family. I don't know if the meal at his place on Christmas eve is still on...no sound..but also cos I didn't go for the candlelight service last Sun. Oh yes, managed to weigh myself finally cos R wanted to borrow weighing scale frm L..so I also weighed myself. I lost 3kg since I last weighed myself in SG! Hope can lose another 2kg and maintain till I finish my programme..haha..think might be possible if I continue to cook my own and have lighter lunch.

Oh ya, M used their toilet then she probably weighed herself cos she came downstairs and asked if the scale was accurate...then L said she wanted to tell me that it's not..there's a diff of 3lb! Well, R's luggage weight wouldn't have changed weight but my weight has la..alamak..so I didn't lose tt much weight..hahaa! Chey!! So I only lost about 1.5kg..which was my weight the previous year during health screening. Grr..so I still have to watch my diet.
Anyway, pastor John called just now to re-confirm if I'm going to his house on Christmas eve...sounded as if I would change my mind..hahaha! Anyway he said he will email me his add..said 10min walk from Sainsbury at Selly Oak (where I got the fabric conditioner the other day) then reach before 5.30pm cos apparently there's carolling at Bournville (says can walk) then we go back for dinner after tt and have carols ourselves. I was actually just telling R I feel like v mafan to go and dunno if still on...but I decided to go la..see see lor. I'll prob leave earlier if it gets too late. Oh ya, I just ordered a travelcard just for national express west midlands buses..it's much cheaper than the bus and rail one that I got for this term. Only thing is I won't be able to get on ANY bus like before..but nvm la..still cheaper if I get separate ticket if I need to.
