To those of you who haven't seen my hair yet: I have gone pink and as of yesterday, under the skilled hands of Michele Yap, my hair is now streaks of red, pink, and brown. Hahaha. I've been spending my weekend in Manchester -- visiting my friend of almost 6 years, Adeline Ng. We spent my first evening eating at an Indian Restaurant and discovered that we both love butter chicken. Well, this was after she was half-way through of getting over the shock of my hair. I think she found it hard to believe that it was real :-) We spent the evening giggling with one of her housemates, Michele -- of the others, they remained unseen through the weekend.

I woke up during my usual hour (i.e. 730am) on Saturday morning, showered & dressed while Ades slept on, waking up every half hour to ask what time it was before slumbering back into her sleep. When she finally woke up, it was 11past and her way of communication to someone who was two doors down was via sms. Unbelievable lah these two.

The city, as it always should be, was bursting with crowds. We had lunch at China town's Wasabi before heading towards the main agenda of the day: the endless Armageddon of shopping. I didn't shop, per say, all I bought was a magazine I thought Fol would like and Benefit's That Gal primer (I ran out on Thursday so it was an emergency!) . I went over budget by about £25, most likely due to the primer and the magazine. I budgeted £50 for this weekend, because going to cities are always expensive. I spent over £100 when I spent the weekend in Rochdale (about 30minutes from Manchester!) with Fetty -- okay, almost half was for a dress that I absolutely had to have and the rest was for food + movies + good time with Fets. Hehehe :D But anyway, I was good this weekend because I didn't spend too much more than I had intended and just had to endure the torture and pleasure of wishful thinking while we were browsing through the many boutiques in Manchester.

So other than watch the girls shop, I browsed through Zara and French Connection. I did find a pair of flats I liked but didn't really need. Well, if we want to get technical, I actually don't have any shoes to go with the oh-so-many dresses I've purchased in the last few months. They're all at home in Brunei! lol. So I do need shoes. Oh decision decisions. I made dinner for Ades, fried salmon with pasta and cheese sauce. Basic stuff and yet, still cheaper than us eating out.

The evening ended with a box of dye (brown no less), lots of foundation and make up plus, fits of giggles of the things we said. Yes, this is how I spent my fourth year anniversary without my boyfriend :-)

It's 11am on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning and I'm listening to Ades sleep.. She's taking me to BruManch's netball session in the afternoon and after that I'll be headed back to Loughborough. I can't wait because Fol's sent me somehing. and it's waiting for me to come home. Ha. :-D

lots of love & snores,
yasmin.
