Anticipation

It is midnight and I am hungry.. I can't wait for the day and hopefully a 'new addition' to my already crowded rooom :)

Pharm Shirts

A shirt for sale by a pharmacist at US$31.45

Spending crisis

2011's resolution: Stinge!

As of midnight tonight, VAT increases from 17.5% to 20%. Previously I was penny pinching. As of tomorrow, I'm gonna be Pound pinching extra hard!
Price increament for everything from phone bills, electrical goods, meals, train tickets etc....
Stinge.. stinge.. stinge.... aih...
Looks like the GREAT SALES will never be a good as previous ones ever again....

Whats worse is when retailers are allowed to do this:
"And until February 1, stores are being allowed by the Government to apply the 20 per cent rate by marking up the price paid at the till, rather than on shelf labels."
"It means shoppers will not know the true cost of items until they go through the checkout, raising the prospect of disputes and queues as they come to terms with being asked to pay more."

Need to stinge and...do the math when reading shelf labels.

Scottish food

The one thing I've always wanted to know was, "What is Scottish's food?" Every Scot I have asked could only name me one - Haggis. Some say soup! Before coming to Glasgow, I've been told to try Haggis too. SOURCE

So, I found a couple more Scottish food.. I could make one of my new year resolution as "To try all the Scottish food!"

Haggis - A Scottish Staple. A bag stuffed with minced heart, liver and lung boiled in lamb stomach.

Roasted Grouse

Abroath Smokie - Scotland's version of salted fish

Scotch eggs - Hardboiled eggs wrapped in minced sausage and coated with breadcrumbs.
This doesn't sound too hard to be eaten or made.

Black pudding - Congealed blood wrapped in intestine, battered and deep fried.

2010 wasn't too bad. Almost everything I wanted to be done was done. Hoping 2011 will be a better year. Feng Shui master said it will be a good year for those with the Virgo sign. I'd like to believe that :)

I'm not even done with the Christmas posts and New Year is here.
We had a small do at the halls.

Tortilla filled with peanut butter and chocolate spread

The ones who helped out with the words :)

The anticipation to look out for fireworks that goes BANG!

A nice finale to 2010 and a great start to 2011!

Salad- The best meal for a busy person

Easy to prepare, yet delicious, crunchy, juicy and satisfying

The Face of Anorexia

The latest news is about the death of Isabelle Caro, a french model for anti-aneroxia ads. She was 28 years old. SOURCE

Even a whole cup of tea for her was too much!

It is sad to have a eating disorder. To me, it is almost unfathomable given the unsurmountable feast I have had.

RIP
