knotting with notts (II)

Nott's post is finally up!! Sorry for the delay.. Has been busy and boggled by certain issues. But as i ve mentioned, i shall be fine. Thank you to those of u who made the effort to concern and support me. It was very sweet and i promise, i ll be fine :)

The first thing to come up is that it was full of suprise.. The day was enlighted with reunions where u bumped onto ur playmates, primary, secondary and college friends. U will realised that u will always hv mutual friends and everyone is kinda of connected to each other. It's a small, small world :D

The kwang hua-rians.. My playmate, Ninie.. She's adapting very well, dun wry honeymama :D
We decided to walk around the campus first since it was still quite early in the morning. The entire journey took less than 2 hrs, and we stepped on the land of nott b4 9am..
Yeah.. im here..
Friendship forever!!
Missed last year's nott games due to fever. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. As i get to meet a very good friend of mine, crystal, this year. If i ve been to nott last year, very high chances that i wouldn't be here to hang out with her this time..
One, two, jump!!! =P
If u r studying here, this would be the best place to come when u need a breather or relax ur mind..
Our nice host for the day, mr ang (lieng chong).. Being a primary school friend, he was just so kind and friendly enough to show us around..
This is definitely a very precious shot, due to the effort poured in to capture the scene, by us and the professional photographer lieng chong (thx!). The ducklings werent very 'friendly' and ran away frm us!! Hehe..
My favourite picture for the album :D
Weeee ;)
We then headed over to the portland building whereby the malaysian food fair was held. As u could expect, u can find lots of msian food there!!

Roti canai!!! I missss yeeewww..
Almost each and every stall sold nasi lemak. It's simply a must-buy dish.

Besides that, there were other specialities such as laksa johor (which we ordered), cendol (ordered too), mee jawa, curry laksa, karipap, sardine rolls (we bought that too!!), satay, ketupat, chicken rice and many others.. But.. is sushi a msian food????
After satisfying our cravings (honestly the food wasnt really as good as msia), we headed over to the city for further explorations..

The nottingham castle.. is behind me.. ^-^
We were really lucky enough as we bumped into the horrorstory-storyteller.
Satisfaction =)
The robin hood statue..
The pretty and clean streets of nott..
... and this --> England's oldest inn.. Jerusalem in 1189.. Almost 100 years old!!


THe city centre..
I bet this building must be very pretty and outstanding when the lights are turned on at nite..
A short little breather while enjoying breathing the air of nott =P
Dinner was a fantastic one which was buffet in a chinese restaurant. We sat there for more than an hour and gobbled lots of food.. Just a little snap on the salad whilst crystal was giving me some guidances on photography :D
Yep, i guess that is sufficient enough to be a long post to complement the lack-of-photo of 'Little pinkie princie'.. In a nutshell, it was definitely a delightful and worthwhile trip.. Weather that day was of perfect, compared to the coldie warwick.. U can just walk around with a sweater and the scenaries are really of picturesque..

As an end note, i shall express my gratitude once again to crystal for coming down all the way from glasgow, in which the journey took her a dreadful 6 hrs and lieng chong for his kindness. Lastly, albeit i didnt get to watch a single game, congrats to our warwick champs for bringin back 2 medals for us!! High 5 & Yahoo :D

Anyway, some of u commented that my blog is very contradictory. One post could be a very happy and sweet one, but another could be a very sudden emo or negative expression. Hope you ll like tis one. GOSH, IT'S 238AM NOW!! Good nite!
