We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The crowd was dispersing..and we were still listening to the brassband play, hoping for more...the whole carol concert was rather nice. Basically we just alternate between the primary kids' choir, the Cathedral's choir and the community-the audience, singing a string of classical Christmas songs, like O Come, all ye Faithful. O Little Town of Bethlehem and Hark! the Herald Angels Sing. Heartwarming. But I have to say I didn't have enough! I want more!! *17th dec MUCC I'm coming! :) *
Awesome Town Hall.
Matthew and Sarah (: pity the lighting ain't good, my camera wasn't behaving.
Lighting's much better suddenly. But seriously matthew! i see room for improvement in your photography skills bleheheh XD
An empty Manchester Town Hall.
Christmas trees are the best! :D
Refreshments! Coffee and tea, orange juice and mince pies! Simply fab.
Looking out of the windows..Albert Square Christmas Market!

Moon was shining ever so brightly that night. Like a light hanging in the sky :)

Yesterday was an awfully tiring day. Began with me waking up at past 8.30a.m. which makes me feel not-so-good, ransacking my files and envelopes and bag for the NHS card which appears only when I checked my X-ray envelope for the 3rd time, turning up for tutorial at The Mill 1/2 hour earlier 'cause I remembered the time wrongly...
Anyways, after tutorial, I came back for my effing yummy English muffins + one or two chocolate biscuits and set off to the Dental School and Hospital to apply for my braces monitoring. (yes, finally :P) Then to the Vallance Centre to book an appointment with my registered doctor. Gotta know what's wrong with my footie.
Tasks done, I walked all the way to Arndale. It took me a frigging 45 mins but it was a rather nice walk without any rain or drizzle or wind that mess up my hair (: I spent 1 hour plus choosing Christmas cards while sis was picking hats and scarves and jackets and Marks and Spencers. Good work, haha! I bet you'll love these, sis!
Loads and LOADS of me2u in a new shop in Arndale!!
Hmm..just wondering if I'll receive one on my 50th birthday! LOL :D
Sis and I settled for a scrumptious big dinner after tiresome shopping. My tomato, basil and herbs pasta with fresh tomatoes, minced meat+sausage and mushrooms!
*portion shown is barely 7% of what I cooked!*
Mashed potatoes, fish fingers and eggs!
And we still managed to stuff biscuits down into our tummy right after dinner :P
P/S: It's 1.31a.m. omg. I didn't plan to blog this post at this hour at all!! But I stupidly clicked publish post after uploading all the pics and then realize I couldn't delete or change the post to draft T.T All the idiotic things I done today, like inserting my memory stick into the card reader slot without the adaptor and spent 10 mins getting it out with a hair clip! Sigh. Anyways, i HAVE to go to bed...
