2nd last day in B'ham

Whoa...finally more or less packed. My goodness. Anyway, listened to my mum and opened the bag I got from Dublin airport (like 大陆 bag) to put some stuff so can check in if my big luggage doesn't exceed 30kg. Just going to use strings to tie the zip to the handle cos only have one zip. All along I was bent on just checking in DBS bag and was afraid will exceed weight limit if I put together with big luggage. I could've used my Cath Kidston bag to check in cos it's quite bulky when folded but I scared dirty it lor..scarli kena oil stain that cannot be removed then vv sayang. And I listened to mum and yi who suggested I roll up my clothes to save space..I thought rolling will take up some space but what I did was roll and put them into vacuum bag and then suck up all the air! So managed to get most into the big luggage..then put some in the 大陆 bag to buffer and put the boxed chocs in there too, surrounded by clothes. Added Mr Pig in there as well cos can't go into my dbs bag. Managed to stuff my crocs into DBS bag too after wearing it today. So tomorrow just left my pyjamas top to add to the "dirty" clothes bag in 大陆 bag and I am ready to go! Will wear my PJ pants (track pants) in the plane as what yi suggested last time..more comfy than jeans.

Managed to video call with my niece today cos my parents rendered their babysitting service..hahahaa! She ah...hyperactive la. Oh, and I called mah mah too..just to tell her I'm gg back on Mon..seems that she knows already..then probably will call ah ma tmr..since I still have credits on my hp. Plan to leave some money there in case la..I can't call just before I board the plane cos it'll be like 3+am in SG!

Met M and Ch for lunch today..M drove to my place and passed them a whole bag of my clothes and random stuff to donate..and L and C's. Then we walked to the nearby pub. I had steak and chips..and I had a great deal cos I saw online there was an offer for £4.99 with drink but nowhere on their menu had it...so I asked and they did have!! Was so happy. But I didn't take pic of it. Had it with white wine! Tried steamed treacle pudding for the first time today...not bad..quite sweet but nice.

Steamed treacle pudding

Taken by an elderly customer cos the waiter wasn't free to take!

 After lunch walked home and took the stack of notes and paper/cardboards to the recycling bins near the pub..but end up the bins were sooo full! So just left them on top...and realised they are glass bottles only and papers only. No plastic. After that took bus to Halesowen ASDA. My mission was to find and buy caramel waffles..and was thrilled when it had and it was on reduced to clear though the best before is next year! But then end up I paid more cos the stupid self-service machine had some problems. But never mind!! Got a packet of scones too but they're not the freshly made ones from the bakery...hope it's nice. Too bad I can't buy my mum's fave fruit loaf cos bulky..no space to put..if I buy sure become squashed!

Came home and continued packing stuff into my DBS bag..and L asked how I was going when she came back from work..my room door was closed..and I showed her saying it's a war zone..hahaha! Then she asked if it helps me to send me to the airport..and I told her I'm flying off from London. Then she said she didn't realise. HAHAH! V funny la...anyway, told her I left some stuff like soaps and hangers around.

Finished up my leftover frozen yoghurt as "dinner" cos I wasn't hungry..so tomorrow I'll have my leftover fried rice from yesterday before I leave for airport..then L can have the leftover frozen stuff in the freezer - not a lot also..haha!

I'm putting facial mask now as I'm typing..Hahaha..this is one of the ones that R left behind..keep so long rite? Hehehe..Just pray hard the staff at the check in counter is nice and allows my big luggage and 大陆 bag to be checked in. Have brought my uni letter in case to try if it really works as what my friends say! Anyway I'm prepared to pay for excess baggage la..bo bian rite...oh well. *Praying*

This shall be the last time I'm blogging here in B'ham! Or maybe I can blog after I am back from church tomorrow.
