Trafford Center rox!

Random shark at Trafford Center, a biggg shopping mall in Manchester.

- OLD TRAFFORD STADIUM -

Glory glory Man united!

why footballers don't play on Sunday? :(

Why blue jersey? they should wear their home colour jersey right.. hmph..

Kee fong, me, Angie, Lily, Troy

Went to Trafford Center to eat lunch, and where's the cheapest place? the foot court! yeah, my first time eating KFC here in UK. wanted to try the Kentucky Fried Chicken, which apparently is very tiny and yucky.

But after getting it, LOOK! the chicken quite big mah! taste not bad too, not as good compared to home though. Two chickens, few french fries, and a cup of coke - costs me 3.39 pounds. ok ar?

anyways, this is the huge food court, there was some roadshow going on on the stage, can be zoomed on the big screen. Some Smooth f.m roadshow i think... and

GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?

The host asked everyone to wave their hands to be noticed. - To get some gifts.



So the big tv shows this...... with the aiming sign..

Suddenly, the camera zoomed our table!!!!!!!!!!!!

to ME!

bloody helll.... i got a fright of my life! my heart was like ''duk dak duk dak''!

They asked me to come up on stage to receive my goodies!

but u know what, i kinda expected and i felt that i will be the chosen one.. haha.

This is Ching li! on the big screen..

thanks to Angie's camera shot. ;)

This is the first time i ever won something, i have never won a lucky draw in my life, and im here in Manchester getting pretty lucky ey?
hah! i love Manchester! I should have went into the Casino, maybe that day was my luckiest day. puhh!

The goodie bag contains useless stuff lar. Just the matter of winning it that counts.!

A cup, keychain, mouse pad, sticky paper, sweets.. hmm...blar blar blar.

THERE's MORE!

A 25 pounds food voucher at NUI, hmm where's that? -.-

And 4 movie tickets at ODEON!

ODEON CINEMA

right above the food court :)

Cheers,
Ching.

a weekend at Manchester

-The Wheel of Manchester-

Troy, Angie, Lily, and I.

Adults: 5pounds. Nah, we did not sit on it.

Yarrrr.. i know. i came to Manchester. yeah :P not my fault. It's no ones fault. we had to get our cooking utensils from Sharmaine's friend, Michelle from Manchester. We're too stingy to buy any. Pots and pans and bowls and laddles and stuff.. so this week we are gonna start cooking !!! we have been surviving with Maggi mee, bread, pizzas from Tesco, and 1.99pounds "Sub of the day" in Subway. sad right?

the two days Troy and I spent was mostly with Angie, Lily, Kenneth( year 4), and Kee Fong( m205).. Manchester is sooooooooo big compared to Liverpool - Obviously. Too many places to go to. So many shopping malls. but i didn'nt wan to shop,i had only 20 pounds in my purse, i forgot to refill me money, was in a rush to the train station that saturday morning.

anyway, it was not a big'a deal. i lived with 20 pounds for 2 days in Manchester. hee! we had dimsum with the seniors, steamboat with seniors and super seniors and super duper seniors, KFC, and i walked almost the whole city, and i went to Old Trafford !!!! ;D

Pictures soon, just a few now. my camera battery dieded after few hours in Manchester :( . lupa charge lah! aRGh. lucky Angie had her camera with her...

Manchester's China Town. The arch is not as big as Liverpool. neh neh neh! That's Kenneth at the back.

"HOW MANGA TOOK THE WORLD"

An exhibition in Cathedral Garders, Manchester.

there were many stations according to categories - cute, action, adult.

Lily and I.

Angelene and I

Kee Fong, Lily, Angelene, Sharmaine, Troy and Ching.

my feet hurts! i need a massage! i walked too much this 2 days. with my blistered toe, because of the damp sport shoes i wore to gym. le sigh. because of you, rain. i need to rest them tonight. tomorrow i have ward work in the hospital at 9am -)

.

And most importantly, thanks so much Angelene and Lily. I miss u all already, really :( .

Thanks for everything, thanks for spending the whole time with us, and thanks for hosting us - crashing in ur rooms.. come to Liverpool soon!

COLD!! 10 degrees!

This is Sharmaine... she's like the mummy of us three.. always forcing us to study all the time. haha. but up until now we have'nt even touch any of our books. later later.. later we will.. i will.

The view of the Salthouse dock, a part of the Port of Liverpool. It's so nice to walk by here, but not in the rainy season. It was so cold and windy, i could'nt even feel my hands..... - numbed!

The Albert Dock, the most famous dock here in Liverpool. This dock is surrounded by buildings which are mostly bars, restaurants, and museums, museums like Tate, which is an art gallery and museum. I did'nt go into Tate yet though, it opens only during the day. ;(

SO COLD!

We had to stand behind the barrier against the wind, but to no avail.. -.-

Seniors said that we can see the sunset from here. Yup, we really could see the bright sun going down, but right until just halfway, the stupid clouds......

argh.. so cold!! i can still feel it now!

Duh!

What a lucky day to go to the dock!... we even manage to see a RAINBOW! a full arch! hehehe..

and this was the first time i saw TWO rainbows together.. but could'nt capture the other rainbow.. it was abit faint.... hmm...

Liverpool One.

Just opened.. it's like a hugeee shopping area, a modern one that is, not like the city... but i prefer the city shops.. much more cheaper as well.. hehehe.

It is like Pavillion but outdoor..

Cheers,

Ching.

First day at Royal Liverpool Hospital

Today we had our first meet with Dr Tom Kennedy, the Director of Clinical Studies.
He briefed us abit about everything.. from clinical skills here, to what we learn back in IMU, to the lifestyle here. We did our case presentation to him, and it became the first ever time i've been so interested in a class.. shockingly.... it goes with somebody presenting the case, and he'll be like asking questions related to it.. and i dont know why, it makes me wanna know more, and wanna read more. study more!
