I did marketing

It was Saturday n no longer orientation. After sum discussions, we stil decided to opt for Coventry today as we really need to do some shopping n marketing for nx week's survival. N coventry has affordable and suitable stuffs. Sum of them went to Birmingham i think, well, i ll just have to keep it for another day.

I have to admit that im quite smart today. I was sensitive enuf to notice that there was a family package thingy for the bus ticket. INstead of paying 2.6pounds each, we can jz pay 1.6 pounds now for the fares now. We went to Noodle Bar again (Tracy misses the roast duck rice badly) and tis time we planned for our meals. Instead of ordering one meal for each, n wasted sum food each (as the portions are large), 7 of us ordered 4 meals n we shared. Hence we could have a taste of 4 different types of food at a time, n at a lower price. So happy. THough sum of the food r not as tasty as in msia, but at least it's stil CHINESE FOOD, so nvm..

After enjoying a good meal, we went shopping! Jerrick, tracy n min went to ikea to 'complete' their little kitchens while amanda, katie, royce n me went for boots and coat-shopping. The 3 gals were so kind to gv me suggestions n tips.. helping to speed up my decision making. Stimes im quite slow at decision makings. At the end of the 'hunt', i got two coats, a pair of shoes and a pair shoes. I was extremely happy.. Wow.. n nice!!

Not forgetting another important task of me today -- marketing.. TIs is my first time doing marketing, usually i jz followed mum n helped her to carry her groceries. I was so excited n delighted when the fruit seller was willing to gv me a bargain of almost a pound. Hmm.. So i saved bout 2 pounds today ade ya.. I bought sum tomatoes, grapes and plums. They were cheap n fresh.




At night, we cooked togeta for dinner. Tracy especially was the chef. N me, haha, was to wipe dishes. But gv me sum time, i ll pick up n learn cooking k? WE had RICE, so happy, with chicken, meatballs, and soup. Tracy sponsored the orange juices too. So we cooked togeta, ate togeta, and chat togeta. We were having great fun sharing bout our stories and plans. I wished we could have more meals like tis in future, though it's quite troublesome n tiring (for the chef), as is really warm n feel like home. My flat is like a quite one, where everyone does their own thing, closes their door, hv their own food etc. There were no interaction and warmth o even fuzzy.

ANyway, it's time for bed n im starting to get sick. Mum n dad has been nagging me to have more rest, sleep earlier n drink more water. Mum n dad's words r very precious now, as i dun get to listen often now. Nite nite =)
