I dress like Mr. Potter but eat like Uncle Chuang

Bonjour vous! (literally meaning 'hello you' in French according to my trusty online translator. *snorts and pulls up trousers to armpits*)

Hope you're enjoying yourself and the week is going well. (just small talk before I start a really short blog post as work is piling up at the moment) I am sure you are wondering why such a strange title right?(or not) But it will all be explained by the end of the post. Promise!

Okay, so, guess who got a new gown? No, not wedding gown or ball gown or evening gown or bedgown or surgical gown (I could go all night). An Oxford academic gown! OWWWW YEEEAAHH! 

I got my scholars' gown today from Walter's on Turl Street in the morning because there was an induction for scholars in college at noon. Yup, I was awarded a scholarship(no wasn't a lot. Don't ask me how much). And NO this is not a I-like-to-show-off post. I just wanted to say that, with the scholarship, I get a very nice Hogwart's like gown. 

And because I was/am excited about the gown and also a little strange, I took lots of pictures with the gown.(No really I have lots of work to do)

Look!

#1

I am weird I admit.

#2

Setting up the camera. Have I mentioned I hate self-timed photos?

#3

Wingardium Leviosa  -_-"

#4

I was saying Wingardium Leviosa a few times before the ceremony to my friends because I thought it was funny but no one else found it funny. T___T

#5
Batman

#6
Arigato

So nice right? Okay lah, that's all. No more talking about my gown.

The second thing I want to show is my dinner 2 nights ago because as you know I now live in a flat and thus we(my flatmates and I) cook almost everyday. And I was/am especially proud about this particular meal because it was like eating home cooked food! T__T

Anyway I just realised that this blog was going to be drowned in pictures and I apologize for that. I will write a nice wordy one next time with proper substance to it. 

OK! This was what we had for dinner.


Onion and bacon omelette (adalah sedAAp)


Stir fried broccoli


Chicken soup with potatoes and carrots


with rice. :)

Au revoir (French is so sexy)


P.S. : Feel free to tell me the food looks good. 
P.P.S. : I'm so shameless sometimes it saddens me.

JU said...

cw, well when I come back in december, all your dreams will come true :) PS: I think I could be a better Harry Potter. Well, a less naked one at least :P

Athena said...

You don't know Ryanair ??? It's a budget airline , somewhere along the lines of AirAsia =) It's quite cheap too , like last winter i got a flight from Berlin to Dublin at 0.01 euros ...

JU said...

Mynn Dee, you're joking! 0.01euros? That's insane!

Athena said...

It's like AirAsia la ... There are hidden costs but yeah , they do advertise their 0.01 euro flights ;)

JU said...

Mynn Dee, U-N-R-E-A-L !

Athena said...

Flights in winter are super super cheap ... Flights from London-Barcelona and back costs like 2.89 GBP in january , including taxes it'll be 23.45 GBP which is less than RM200 ?? Heck , the return flight costs nothing :D

LOL now i sound like a Ryanair promoter ...

JU said...

Mynn Dee, but I doubt you have any time to go to London anyway. You're doing medicine I presume..

Athena said...

Yup doing med ... my friends went to london on a ryanair flight , moscow-riga by train and then riga-london on ryanair , heh and they have super narrow and cramped seats with almost non-existent leg space =)

JU said...

Mynn Dee, thus the cheap fares. But it very worth it!!!!

nielgoh said...

JU said...

nielgoh, erm... thank you. I is very happy now :)
