Blessings:)

It has been almost 3 weeks I'm here, in this foreign land, called Manchester:)
I'm settling down, adapting myself to the people and culture and of course to the British accent..though at times, we still have problems catching their jokes..but who cares, we just pretend we understand and laugh along..that's the best right:)
That aside, food here...kinda hard to make up our mind on what to eat. It's either microwave spaghetti, MacD, fattening fish and chips, Indian food or just sandwiches..DUN ask us why dun we try cooking..it's because we're supposed to move again and we haven't got our proper pots and pans..Anyway, just wanna SHOUT biggIE thanks to Steph's dad, Mac! He has been such a blessing to Lily and me..thank you thank you thank you and THANK YOU..

We had pizza at this pub called the Rampant Lion..the tuna with spinach pizza was mouth watering! sorry..no pics here. We were too hungry and just gobbled our pizzas. After that we had some sweets, which was heavenly! I could rmb Lily and me was craving for Choc fudge that very afternoon and we had that for dessert at night! It tasted soSOsosO....speechless..

hot choc fudge with vanilla ice-cream!!


Steph and Uncle Mac had this- waffle with berries!:) Looks nice toO

*********************************

And yesterday night was Friday night! Woohoo..Uncle Mac treated us CHINESE FOOD @ Taiwu!!!!

in short, Chinese food still rules..Miss all those home cooked meals:) And us being so homesick, we felt so at home when we were eating there coz the waiters there speak Cantonese, and most of the people dining there are Chinese!

Sze Chuan Ma Po Toufu..

Asparagus with squid:)

Beef with black soy sauce

Chinese food ROCKs...!!

Angie busy makan-ing!

our jimui ate 3 bowls of RICE...so u can imagine the food is good!

FREE desserts:)

Kee Loo had problems eating oranges!


See our daije ate the oranges till so CLEAN!


Us at the restaurant...We each had 2 bowls of rice minimum! :)

Since it's Friday night...it's also a PARTY night for us!

After dinner, we headed to another pub nearby our place:) This pub is kinda quiet, so it's nice for us to sit down and chat:)

It's definitely the HAPPIEST day for Kee Fong because he finally found his SOUL MATE! Yum seng!

Lily* Angie* Steph at the Pub:)

the drink we gurls had...it's Orange Lemonade..

papa, mama, auntie, uncle....we gurls DIDIN'T drink any alcoholic drinks..so no worries!

daije, relaxing after a long long day:)

Lily was caught red handed...!!Muakakka..nolar, she is a good gurl:) Just helping our KeeLoo pouring his pear cider!

All in all...we had a great night together:)

Uncle Mac's presence has indeed made us feel so pampered...and after listening to all his travelling experiences, we realised we have so much more to learn:)

wasSup doc: a 'thank you' is definitely not enough to express my gratitude for your generosity..but still i wanna say: Your kindness is much appreciated:)

p/s: God's presence was so real today..will post about it in the next entry..stay tune!
