2008/3/30 Scotland Trip and othersGot back from the trip yesterday... qutie exhausted.. have a slight fever.. but the trip was amazing.
Edinburgh
The city is the capital of Scotland, not big but it is gorgeous. The landscape of the city goes from bottom to top so there were a lot of uphills. The city has many haunted stories thus also known as "City of Dead". One thing is that Scotish are very nice, probably the nicest persons I have met so far...
Glasgow
Glasgow is quite different, it is one of the bigger cities in Edinburgh. The city bloomed after industry revolution, so it looks more modern than Edinburgh. There are a lot of places to shop.. and yes.. i did shop.. spent around 40 pound.. We also went to watch a movie in the tallest cinema in Europe.. hehe..
Overall, the trip was fun.. we went on our pace which gives us more time to do what we want... We flied easyjet.. took about 50 minutes.. but getting to the airport and back is another +/- hour each time.. I was slightly disappointed that they did not stamped my passport.. hehe.. because I want it to be filled with stamps all over the world as to show my travelling around.. hehe
Update in London
Im going to the Eurotrip this Wednesday.. too little time so much to do.. have to finish all my homeworks before I leave else i would be dead... Also need to pack.. and hopefully my fever will go away.. else it would suck big time.. also need to finish the Olympic Wishes from Abroad project.. ughh... I need time!!!!
oh.. another thing to watch out is don't buy Casio Exilim Z77 camera.. the one I got was broken.. send it in to repair.. but it costs more to actually repair it then buying a new one... don't know why the warrantly is not covering it... so I had to buy a new camera.. 100 pound.. sigh.. I am getting so poor..
Good news on the side.. I got an internship offfer from UBS... from June 1st to August 1st.. probably gonna take it... it would also give me enough time to travel to Beijing.. hehe..
Lastly.. the Slow Mo Harrod event happend yesterday.. it was quite successful.. video would be uploaded soon!
xxxxx 2008/3/24 UpdatesI do spend 3+ hours on the internet everyday.. but I am just too lazy to actually spend 5 minute to type up an update in my blog.. anyway.. so here it is.. briefing
(the restaurant i work at) 2008/3/11 BOOVO - Beijing Olympic Oversea Volunteer Organization好久没写中文blog了。。 所以。。 就今天了
最近跟梦梦 （英国认识的一个通道中的朋友）一直再忙BOOVO （北京奥运海外自愿者协会， 是各国大学生组织的。。 不是奥运official的）的 “海外的祝福”。 主要目的就是征收各个地方的人对北京的奥运祝福。。
其实在美国的时候就像发动了。。 可是现在在英国留学， 所以就认识了梦梦， 跟她一起为奥运加油！ 目前为止， LSE， UCL， Imperial College 和 QMUL 都已经准备在这个礼拜到下个礼拜搞这个活动。。 希望多多的大学一起参加。。 为奥运祝福。。
----------------------------------------
下个礼拜就是学校的最后一个礼拜。。 英国读书只有10个礼拜的课程。。 然后会放假一个月左右。。 之后在回到学校考试。。。 在放假期间我会去欧洲走走。。 之后再去埃及 （yay）。。 大概合计要花4000 美金左右。。 sigh。。 最近才发现我转了14，000 ，报了4，000+ 左右的税只能拿1，000 回来。。 美国的国税局太狠了。。 我一个学生也收这么多。。 55555 哭死啦。。
其实我爸妈说如果需要钱的话， 可以跟他们拿。。 不过我都不想这么大了还烦他们。。 哎呀。。 我真的是太孝顺了。。 呵呵 。。 还好最近在这边有打一些零工。。 赚一些钱花。。
最后好沮丧的就是因为本人在英国， 找暑假工特难。。 公司说要面试， 可是一直到我在英国。。 就不了而了了。。 所以这个暑假真的是两袖空空。。 2008/3/3 Some Cooking Tips.. heheI would like to admit that I am a huge Food addict.. all kind of food from all different countries, especially spicy ones... Everyone who knows me can attest that I would rather spend $200 on food than going to shopping.. hehe.. yummy food is more enticing to me than any prada, LV stuff..
I like to eat delicious food, but I also like to make delicious food (normally 50/50 chance of really yummy and not that great)... I don't really follow specific guidelines.. most of time I just make up my own stuff... look at the frige, take whatever is left over, and cook.. other times when I am really craving for something.. then I will google the receipe and attempt to make it.. With that say... I made Garlic Bread (sort of followed the receipe) and Weird Shrimp Pasta (made my own thing up)..
Garlic Bread:
(it was actually pretty good)
Garlic
Butter
loaf of bread (those long bun like ones)
decorating leaf pieces
Steps:
1. chop up or blend it in a blender
2. Cut the bread in pieces (2" by 1.5" each)
3. Melt the butter in a small pot.. (enough to soak the bread)
4. Add garlic to the butter (about a quarter of the surface covered by the melted butter).
5. Once garlic and butter are blended, take each piece of bread and dip the white soft part to the "liquid made", repeat till all bread are soaked
6. If more "liquid made" are left, use a spoon and add to the bread (up to you.. depends on how much "garlic" you like)
7. Places bread in a oven pan.. put some decorating leaf on top of each pieces to maek them pretty
8. Put in over for about 12 mins at around 350.. make sure to check every 5 min or so to make sure they don't burn
9. Take out and eat.. Enjoy
Weird Mixed Pasta:
It is sort of a mix of chinese cooking and western cooking..
(this looks a lot better than how it taste)
Pasta
Shrimp
Vegetable (pepper, mushroom.. whatever you like)
Steps:
1. Cook the Pasta first..
2. put oil in pan (big one, wok or something), add shrimp, vegetable, stir
3. add pasta, stir
4. add seasoning - salt, hot pepper, chicken powder.. other stuff..
5. add some cheese if you like..
6. enjoy..
p.s since no units were given. i suggest just eyeball everything and prary for the best result.. hehe.. i know.. i am really bad at teaching others how to cook.. hehe
