this was supposed to be my last post of 2009...

..but bad weather caused the delay!

hahaha or NOT. Geezers the procrastination in every aspect of my life has to STOP because its 2010!

yes, just because. :)

on wednesday, yipei and I took the super early bus to LEEDS to visit Angela!

Ange is our lovely coursemate whose hometown is in Leeds, and we've been wanting to visit her for awhile now.. but never seem to get to it! The snowstorm above was what we experienced on the bus on the way there.. haha it was MADness.

waited for Ange to come pick us up in this lovely cafe we found.. selling yummy sandwiches, apparently the BEST in Leeds! ( its called 'pickles and potter if any of you guys want to check it out)

yes the unique thing about this cafe is that their hens are happy..

.. and their sandwiches superbly yummy! (OMG it rhymes hahaha :) )


we walked around in Victoria Junction afterwards.. the christmas decorations are still up and was breathtakingly beautiful! very similar to the pictures I've seen of shops in Milan :)
..went back to Ange's house for a Vietnamese special noodles soup lunch made by Ange's mum afterwards.

Then we visited 'home' in the UK.. TROPICAL world! Hahah with temperatures reaching 28degrees celcius in the 'man-made jungle'.. it felt like heaven to be out of the BITING cold!
and we found our National flower :) hahaha. we looked abit out of place though with thick winter jackets sweaters and scarfs in the 'rainforest'

.. I'm so gutted we didnt get to see any MEERKATS! :( ange says theyre the highlight of the place *boohoo* :(


after that we stepped back to England, with the superbly freeezing temperatures and icy snow.

haha the background looks like some scene from a horror movie doesnt it??


Last but not least, the HIGHLIGHT of our day!

no this is not just any chinese takeaway food, its special food from Ange's DAD's takeaway.. cooked by her dad himself with LOVE! :)

Thank you Ange, uncle and aunty for making our trip to Leeds so special! :)

1 JANUARY 2010! Time, please stop FLYING.
