Christmas Dinner

 Its winter and Christmas is almost around the corner.

I was walking pass St. George's Square last night heading towards vivi's place.
The Christmas fair was crowded with people and for the first time I am feeling Christmas.

Spotted a beautiful merry-go-round on site. Loving the paintings on its ceiling. :)


I was there for an advanced Christmas Dinner.


yep, Christmas Turkey! Scottish-style!
Citrus glazing with whiskey  and cranberry dips accompanied with broccoli, salad, amazing Yorkshire Pudding and red wine.

Pook specially ordered the 4kg turkey in advance. So its fresh! :D
and massive even for 6 of us.

So thankful to Pook for all the cooking and she even cut the turkey and served it to us.



I planned to bring some devil eggs which supposed to look like this...

and it turned out like..


lol.

epic fail.

for such a simple dish.

I still feel so stupid right now...

i have lots of excuse behind it. but i decided to keep it and bear with critism.

so, i did not bring.lol

and of course, we did not forget some cheeky stuff to do.

While having fun chatting and having dinner, we played the riddles which came with the mask set.

How i start my first winter break

palapalapa~  (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜 〜( ̄△ ̄〜) 

My winter break finally starts! 

but Ill be home alone starting today for one week! orz
Friends left for Iceland trip that I was not meant to go... T___________________T

To make it as a celebration or a depression killer, went out with vivi! Had an awesomely great Sunday. 

ohohoho! ヽ(^◇^*)/

The Sunday starts off with a proper breakfast at 11am (maybe brunch..==) at Cafe Gandolfi along Albion Street.

Found out about this place on the net, recommended as one of the best place for breakfast in Glasgow. 
And they do deserve the honor! :D I could say this was one of the best breakfast Ive ever had in my life.

When we arrived, the place was almost full. We were guided by the waitress to our seats at the corner of the deepest end of the restaurant- not the best seat but fair enough to enjoy own company.

Menu's here.


I ordered Egg Florentine with Spinach. I CAME FOR THIS! <3
 while vivi ordered Egg Benedict with ham.
Called for a glass of orange juice...

Healthy breakfast. :D so proud of myself. xD

I would say, it was fantastic. <3
It was very filling although there ain't any "meat" meat. It feels just right. :)

Left the cafe with great satisfaction, readied for a full day shopping spreeeeeeeee.

Went into a few stores but none caught our eyes except Miss Selfridge.
Weeeeeeeeee----! We inhabited Miss Selfridge's fitting room for hours like a parasite. 
A parasite that keep changing its skin. :D

Just a memory shot of what we've been trying on.. and why we look so lumpy in the photo?! T_______T
and shit you my shitty chubby ankle! ive got no kneeessss ! (。>0<。)
