Dry Slope Skiing...

(21-Oct-2009) Went for the dry slope skiing at Sunderland. Yeah..suppose to be dry but it was a rainy day so -_- It only cost us 4pounds (coach, equipments, lesson). Pretty tiring but we had so much fun! Luckily I still able to balance on the slippery slope..

Assignments! I can't believe I'm doing this again! Look at the crane of books on my desk... -_-" stressed! duh~~ hope to finish it well soon.. before i go crazy :P

Mid-Autumn Festival and Alnwick Castle again..

3rd Oct 2009. Another important festival without family members around..It was Mid-Autumn festival (Lunar calendar 八月十五) where family will usually gather for a reunion and have mooncakes, big meals, pamelo, pork slices etc..Everyone here miss home more especially when it comes to festival or special day like this. We spend time visiting Alnwick Castle. Yes! This is where the Harry Potter 1 was filmed..I was there 4 years back i think..It haven't change at all..pretty expensive travelling and visiting the castle. Train fare is about 7pounds and bus is about 5pounds and the entrance fee for student is 10pounds! It was so windy that day, we couldn't stand. Everyone gets really dizzy because of the wind.

Went to Egil's place for dinner and had some mooncakes brought all the way from China by Xiao Long. It doesn't taste too good but at least we all get some bite and we're celebrating the special festival together with whole bunch of friends without family around. We then play poker..i mean 'SNAP'..hand aches but still fun though. Quite warm but still miss home...hmm :)
