Some place, some memories.

A lifetime of memories,

A walk down memory lane,

Basket of memories,

I love remembering, 

I love creating memories,

They are like keepsakes, always treasured. 

Picture perfect memories (that's why I love to snap and people might think that 'This girl is crazy!' )

Today, I'm gonna write down the memories in Oban.

I took this. 

It reflects how scenic is the view and how relaxing the days can be.

Whenever I was feeling a lil upset, I walked here. 

Just stood anywhere facing the clear water, looked further aimlessly. 

It was like a magic, because I will smile unconsciously by just doing that.

 And then, walked home happily.

A tour guide eventually becoming a tourist, almost all the time.

This was us exploring Tobermory - the colorful town!

I missed... this chocolate shop.

Love the chocolate fondue & ice cream there.

Oh ya, the waterfront bar. 

Literally, very different from the bars in Glasgow, because it's more to a quiet chilling old man's bar, but not too bad kinda like it!

Of course, I missed tht moment when I was too bored in the dull room till I had to do this. Took excessive amount of crazy self vain photos. LOL at myself. 

I missed these people & also the rest in Boots store. They are simply awesome.

2 months in Oban, I summarise it with a smile.

I'd say: Indeed a very different summer I've ever had, oh and it creates everlasting memories.

Thank you for the memories, Oban.

Lovely, isn't it? I guess I'll be back soon. For vacation purpose this time! :D

so yea,

photo is a good way to accumulate our memories.

'A photograph can be an instant of life that will never cease looking back at you.'

I love taking photos as much as I wanna capture the moments for memories sake.

Okay, so stop asking this 'Why photos all the time?'

Pretty simple, I wish to savor the moments that are warm, special and giggly. 

Signing off with lotsa love,

Wendy

October 5th

The past weekend.

It was rather fun, because my friend paid me a visit. 

There's a brief summary of how interesting it was. 

Kicked off the day with the Scottish Breakfast. Spot on the black pudding, it tastes pretty good!

 (Black pudding : a type of sausage made by cooking blood or dried blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled. The dish exists in various cultures from Asia to Europe. Source: Wikipedia)

Nothing ever beats down my love for Pretzels & Starbucks.

Best combination, ever. 

Then, we took subway and shouted 'West-End, here we are' 

I heard numerous times about getting good desserts in Three Steps In Heaven.

And like finally, my first time been there. 

Trust me, they are amazingly d-licious.

Walked to University of Glasgow since we were just few miles away.

That's me, silly pose :X

kinda love the campus environment over there.

More & more silly poses, PLEASE BEAR W ME. 

Say Hello to Autumn! :D

Zoomed in photo. Ghost. :/

my signature pose muahahaha. :*)

okay okay enough of my face in the photos, next's up will be my-so-called high artistic photos.

just a tree anyway.

lovely, isn't it?

Okay, that's all for now.

Ciao. 

Have a smashing day yous! xx

A jar of love!

I smell like cookies now, just done baking couple of minutes ago. It was my first time baking cookies, indeed good fun! :D

I always love Famous-Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies, and never did I expect to bake 'em on my own! How Incredible.

Show you some of the photos on the baking steps.

To be honest, it was an easy-peasy baking. 

I think the steps are well illustrated by the photo above. (too lazy to write line by line)

Still, I am kind enough to provide you the ingredients formula:

1. 150grams of caster sugar 

2. 150grams of brown sugar ( adjusted according to own preference)

3. 250grams of UNSALTED scottish brand butter

4. 2 eggs

5. 4 cups (350g) of all-purpose flour

6. 1 tsp vanilla extract

7. 1 tsp baking soda

8. 1 tsp salt

9. 3 packets of Silverspoon Chocolate Chips

so I brief about the directions. 

a. Thoroughly mix everything and lastly add in the chocolate chips. 

b. Spread butter/oil onto ungreased foil. 

c. Bake at 220degree for 8-12minutes. Cookies are done when they are light in brown.

Thanks my connecting-flatmate Jeanie for the recipe and guidance!

Freshly baked from the oven. And they smell really goooooood!

Halfway baking, got this egg-tarts delivery from Zicky.

Tarts from Manchester, thanks a million :)

Last but not least,

I absolutely in love w the cookies that I baked. LOL

A jar of love, true enough.

Signing off, 

Wendy

Twenty First B'day Girls!

Both of 'em just turned Twenty-One *winks!

Okay, so on the night before (around 1130ish), everything went accordingly smooth, except the wee rain.

Managed to get the birthday girls blindfolded and 'Secret place' off we go!

I suggested to throw them a surprise cake-blowing session at this secret place, cause I don't really fancy the idea of having it at the student halls.  you know, it's like less fun:P

so yea, the venue was my suggestion, and I named it 'I-city'. why? because I see the trees all lights-up, it somehow reminds me of Icity. so that's how I got the inspiration for the name:)

Had to rush to the place as soon as possible before the shower gets heavier. (fyi, shower= rain)

& we got another bunch of friends waiting over there. 

The b'day girls, Tracy & Sookyee got the instructions to hug the tree when we just arrived.

They were like 'omg, what we doing here? what's with the tree?' cuteness!

I'd hafta say that this banner is worth its value for being repeatedly used for the 2nd time.

I made a right choice to get it, haha. 

despite the wee rain, we still here, to surprise the girls! :D

This is gonna bring back good memories in the future.

We moved back to the hall as soon as the group photo session ended.

The bakers for Tracy's cake

and, that's us. Showing love to our dearest flatmate!:D

And, the celebration lunch took place at the japanese restaurant, Nanakusa.

Approx 20ppl, as you can see the long table down.

Hope you girls love the TWENTY-FIRST CELEBRATION w us:)

XO!
