R&R day...started packing

Started packing the stuff I bought as gifts and dresses I won't be wearing into my luggage today..filled about half of my luggage. So as long as I can fit all my other clothes and stuff into my luggage, I should be able to buy foodstuff as handcarry. Don't really know how to estimate but I would think I might have enough if I really can get extra baggage by showing my student letter. But shall pack as if I only have 30kg + 10kg. Managed to stuff some things into my pig hot water pouch/cushion..haha

Today C defrosted some lamb in the pot when I went down in ard lunchtime. Then I also defrosted my chicken..but I decided to cook earlier so he can use the pot after me. I can't cook after him cos they usually leave leftovers in the pot. So I started to cook ard 2+pm..then he came down and watched tv..then said he's cooking some lamb if I want to have some but I said I need to use up my ingredients (cos I bought broccoli on Wed but din cook at all lor! So anyway I transferred the braised chicken into the smaller pot to leave it to simmer and told him he can use the pot. Then he said oh..he's waiting for L to come back too..then later I realised he needed onions and L went to Morrisons after work. Then I left it there. So later just cook rice, pack up the remainder and heat up what I wanna eat tonight. I added hard boiled eggs too...and chilli (chicken rice chilli to use up). I wanted to bring to Ai's place (friend whom I'm staying with in Dublin) but cos I didn't buy check in baggage and the bottle is 180ml, I can't put into my handcarry. So I shall just use it up by myself.

Emailed M to tell her I've sent my dissertation for printing and binding, which means I've finished and can definitely help on Mon for the bfast event in church..and also offered to do up posters for the next 2 events if she already has the details. Then she replied means I'm leaving them soon..haha..and happy I can help.

Was looking online for jacket for Ai's baby as a gift..cos I'm staying at her place when I'm in Dublin, with S. So thought will be good to get her some winter wear cos Ireland tends to be colder than here. Not sure what to get for Ai and her husband too. It's been really long since I last met Ai actually..since she left..think about 5-6 years ago??? Then so funny la...only just now when I asked S if she knows if the baby wears a size bigger than the age or same..then I realised the baby is a girl...oops!! I saw the pic on whatsapp and thought is boy lor..tt day after thanking her for putting me up I somemore said her son is cute but she didn't reply. Soooo paiseh..so quickly msg her to apologise..but S said she's not tt petty la. Oh, so we have booked the Giant's Causeway day tour!! Yipee!

I shall plan what to do next week. Some ideas are Aston Hall, Sarehole Mill, Bham museum and the Barber Institute of Fine Arts (within my uni campus) within Birmingham..then looking at possible day tours out of Bham too..but likely will go for those organised coach ones cos train tix might be more ex cos it's only a few days before. Oh btw, A showed me his printed and bound copies of his dissertation via Line. He went to Uni to print and had it bound near his place today. And we'll probably have a class gathering meal or something on Fri since I guess most of us will be going to submit our dissertations.

Tmr after church prob go Smethwick cos I wanna go Lidl to buy muesli for bfast for the remaining time I'm here then maybe go ASDA and Matalan there to see kids jacket. Ch is taking the service tmr so should end early. But depends hw long we stay until to chit chat.

*Added: I ate up the braised chicken v fast...I love it!! Think too long didn't eat Chinese food liao..hah! Anyway, I chose a new korean drama to watch this afternoon titled "Still, Marry Me" but it was a bit boring..so now watching "Jang Bori is Here!" and seems quite exciting so far! Supposedly have 50 episodes and there's free streaming till episode 38 as of today. So that should occupy me a bit..haha!

Oh and L told me the jap girl will be renting the room from Oct..seems that she said wanna rent for 2.5yrs but L told her to see place first and if she likes then talk about it later on. Wonder if she knows if C is also ard.
