the past few days, i've been a homebody! yesh, been staying at home like a good girl and helping my aunt to springclean her house for chinese new year. sadly, cny for me will be in the hostel, far far away. well, there was a short trip to town on friday, to get some jewellery stuff so i could complete the necklace i was making for me aunt, and to get groceries. of course, it ain't my fault if along the way, a jacket and a pair of pointies fell into shopping bags. hehe.
the story goes: i was wearing me aunt's jacket cos my mum proclaimed that the north face one i have is too ugly (well, it is an outdoor jacket, DUH). so, my mum asked my aunt where she bought it from, and my aunt promptly showed us the shop. as it turns out, there was one last piece of jacket for my size, which fit very well, which was selling for 20pounds after further reductions (my aunt bought hers for 35pounds before christmas), so my mum bought it for me. later, my aunt brought us to another shop to browse through, and she saw me looking at a pair of pointies, which she tried, mum saw her trying, said the pointies were nice and asked me to try. (note: i dare not try the pointies cos i knew i wouldnt be allowed to buy it. or so i thought) and so i tried, it was nice and comfy, it was 10pound 50pence, and my mum paid for it. end of story.
yesterday though, i went to birmingham with my aunt and mum. again, it ain't my fault when a pair of jeans was bought for 7pounds 50pence. really. i was minding me own business staring at older women's clothes so i wouldn't buy anything when me mum came up to me and declared there were jeans some distance away and asked me to go and see. so i went, and the next thing i knew, me aunt had thrown the pair of jeans into my arms and i was led into the dressing room. it fit well, it was cheap, and so they say, the rest is history. my fault? nooooooo.... *shakes head*
other stuff i got: instant noodles (there was even 1 with jay chou's picture and signature on it! o.O), chinese new year biscuits and other goodies you can get in chinatown. lunch was dim sum, which sucked. argh. i shan't even describe how it sucked, but it sucked. grrr.
after that, we headed back to hereford. showered, rested, and then it was time for dinner! went out to firenze's for dinner. it is a famous italian restaurant here in hereford. i went there 10 yrs ago, im back again 10yrs later. the owner, bruno, is so much older now. he is retiring and returning to florence. so i'm lucky to be able to catch him again, and take a picture with him. hehe. the dinner was in celebration of uncle chris's birthday! hehe.
this week, and the past 2 nights, will be really cold at night. temperature dropped to -5degrees! the late morning/afternoon was rather warm though. egads! such extremes! *faints* it was so coooold, there was ice on the grass when i woke up yesterday morning! ice on the cars too! omg! ice! *freezes*
and so, photos!
