Sun finally hits England... and I finally get hit by money!

Hey everybody!!

Long time no writing! Hehehehe. I hope you've all been well and haven't left this blog. I know I've neglected it a bit from my 'personal touch' (*^x^*) *giggles*. 

It's been rather manic on this end. I had several interviews with the big bosses as soon as I got back from my 'holiday' and now I'm frantically writing and editing for my deadlines. *^^* But it's ALL GOOD.

Good news is though I had a absolutely wonderful Birthday month and the sun has been shining like crazy this past week! We were all so worried that the UK won't have a summer this year since it's been raining non stop until this last week. But the sun finally has hit us and warming us all up *^^*

Oh and I've finally been told I've been awarded a Scholarship for my PhD! I'm exempt from fees AND I get some pocket money each year (*^.~*) 
(no I'm not telling how much that is *giggles*). It's for THREE YEARS! (*^.^*)

I was told that I was up against some tough competition in those interviews for the scholarship, including some Law students I saw outside in the waiting room... I saw some seriously tall, macho looking confident guys in suits.

I'm also now Faculty Student Representative of the Faculty of Business and Law for PGR students (Post-Graduate Research). So that means turning up to committee meetings etc. I'm guessing it'll be mostly social events organising since us PGR lot don't complain much (*^.~*) hehehe. Parties, oh yes!

I have a major deadline in August and then a super major important exam in September. But that's not to mean I'm not partying (*^.^*) Well... my idea of fun and partying usually is to do with food... 

I adore this patisserie shop called Patisserie Valerie in the city centre. So many cakes and delicacies!!! MMMMmmmmmmmmm~   (o*^^*o)

The one on the left is a Citron Tart, all lemony and zesty fresh, and the one on the right is a Raspberry Tart which is a pile of juicy raspberries piled on top of an egg custard filled tartlet. Gorgeous stuff!

Hello Kitty "Easter Egg"

Came across this a while ago:

Abalone Noodles [Soup Noodles] @ Home

My mother made abalones these for two days now, and they're finally ready to eat! They take days of preparation and cooking, until they're soft and full of flavour! In Asian countries, it's considered a gourmet, luxury food, and not many people are able to prepare this dish at home; it's usually something you order at high class restaurants.

Below are some photos of today's lunch in my favourite huge Japanese noodle/soup bowl (*^^*):

Hong Kong 2011 Blueberry Cheesecake

I had this especially made for me when I was in Hong Kong, as my Uncle's best friend is a baker/patisserie maker. It was extremely delicious and healthy, as it contained only the freshest and best ingredients and was not over sweet, or creamy.... (*^v^*)
