It was a miracle that I forgot about the Jom Makan thing organized by MSSM on Saturday night until Chiakhuan asked me about it that afternoon :P So off we went amidst the drizzle, to "Steve Biko Building" where we were greeted by the security who gave us directions how to get to the Council Chamber where Jom Makan is held - like we have "I'm a Malaysian" stamped on our foreheads, haha.
However, stepping into the venue, we couldn't helped but felt a tint of disappointment.
The place was so small, with only 3 or 4 stalls but long long queues.
Kuih-muihs. I want that green balls coated with white fluffy coconut flakes! Onde-onde right??
This is just too funny. Our packet of kuih-muih shared by 5/6 of us appeared on MSSM FB photos..lol! We never noticed anyone taking pic of it XD
Proof! Our karipaps.
Anyone knows what this is called?? Peanut inside.
So called mee rebus. 1st time eating it. Weird smell but still edible.
Anyway, we ended up in McDonald's and later, in sis' common room, eating ice-cream, playing cards and Truth or Dare using Matthew's i-phone. So everyone did quite some silly stuff. From Tarzan imitation to hugging/waving to a blur Arya, hopping while singing Negaraku, talking nonstop for 3 mins, piggybacking etc. I got pretty tired after 1 hour of truth or dare. Everyone turned sort of immune towards the dares already :D and so we called it a day.

Sunday morning, I finally stuck my friendly note to my dear flatmates on the kitchen wall, asking them to try to make our kitchen clean at all times :P so that I won't be wasting too much time/energy washing and wiping and vacuuming in our common room.
And this little yellow thank you sticky note simply made my day! besides flipping over my dislike towards yellow stickies XD Just found out that it was from Sheena! Jaya added another big orange one today! So fun~our wall's gonna be filled with stickies :D Best part is our kitchen has really been so sparkling clean recently you'll get blinded when you come in. Lols. thanks to all my flatmates!
I decided to try out this very old RC church in the city centre after Sierra told me about it. It's named St. Mary's - the Hidden Gem, located in a little secluded street near Albert Square.
I would love to share with you the beauty and magnificence of the interiors but photo-taking is strictly prohibited inside the church. The sermon and mass overall was longer than the one at Holy Name and there were more people here. Majority are aged citizens or families though. But, the main reason that made me choose to come here is because there's some praise and worship, with accompaniment of organ. I can't wait for christmas carolling! :)
After church mass, I went to the Brazennose Christmas Market with Sarah, Matthew and Alan. Glad to say that the christmas markets are lovely!
Sarah and I with Mr. Bee! and Abraham Lincoln's legs.
There he is! With his huge hands and feet.
Manchester Towh Hall, Albert Square. Another Christmas Market :)
Santa who's bored looking at people walking around.
Flowers sold at low prices! I'm gonna get one next time!
Soft to touch, nice to hug! The ones that could be warmed up were even better! Aww..I want one!!
Flower bulbs.

Italian chocolates. We spent ages deciding which one to have.
Chunk of our Walnut chocolate. Tasted heavenly. No, don't ask about the price.
