If only I was packing for a beach vacation

I'm packing my bags once again..nope, not running away from home, but for my 8-week attachment in Dartford. Sigh. Staying at home would have been so much more convenient, especially with regards to revision (as soon as i am able to start). Please pray for me!!!

Met up with Chubbs for lunch. She bloody forgot about changing the clocks forwards! Luckily I remembered that she mightn't have remembered and called to check... Some things really don't change, ay chubbs?

I wanna go on holiday, not some DGH..grr...

Back to tedious packin...

Karintou

Sister went to Japan Centre yesterday and came home with loads (and loads and loads) of goodies. One of the snacks totally looks like dried up doggie poo...tried it and its actualy quite nice. Not sure what it is though. Heh - just wondered how my guests would react if i left some lying around in prominent places..haha...maybe the hallway or on the sofa!!!

Old Habits Die Hard

Well, as they say, old habits die hard. How true that is... With my spanking brand new flat screen telly, I've been sat in front of the box non-stop for the past 2 weeks. Sadly, my addictions have kicked in again - Eastenders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Corrie, even Neighbours. Laurie will be so dissapointed in me! My couch has once again been moulded to the shape of my vegetating ass. As a result, stress level = 0. I think that's a bad thing, considering that everyone else is stressed out of their eyeballs!!! (especially Xu? - that woman certainly can nag...) I;ve even been walking around thinking its the 14th of March!

Had a haircut finally, no longer walking around with the end of a broom on my head. Although, having said that, hair's a bit too purple and assymetrical for my liking. Do you know how badly it sticks out in the morning? I wake up and look in the mirror and I'm reminded of Bert from sesame street with his tuft of standing up hair!!! Bev had a good laugh that day. She went hysterical. But seriously, it was hilarious. The joys i bring to people *smug smile*

Yay, the bf's exams are over this week! Maybe i'll get some (well-deserved)attention, after being cruelly ignored for the past month!!!

P.S Happy Birthday Laurie! You're now whopping 24 years of age!!! xxx

Happy Valentine's Day!

Have a great valentine's day everyone! I'm afraid its all you're gonna get from me!

Kimmie Gastronomic Review - Cafe Des Amis

GHW took me to this french restaurant over the weekend and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal there. Located in a small lane off Long Acre in Covent Garden, this recently refurbished restaurant is definitely one i would recommend to my friends. The ambience was divine, and the food much to be talked about. The scallops parisienne were seared to perfection, and the wild seabass i had (though the portion a tad small) boasted quality and taste. i then had crepes suzette for dessert, and though it was nothing to shout about, the orange sauce was perfect in topping off this delicious meal. Also, if you are a wine drinker, their wine list was rather extensive indeed! The only thing that didn't get me too excited about was their 15% gratuity, which, to poor students like us, was a rather neat sum indeed. (maybe i should do some waitressing?) It was definitely a nice night out, and maybe you should give this restaurant a go the next time you're in the area!
