A Interesting tutorial and Wagamamas...

Monday. November 28th. Weather was not too cold but it was drizzling and a bit cloudy. However, it actually SNOWED!!! Yeah.. In the afternoon, I was playing basketball and we took a break and then suddenly, Kwan Wei started shouting," Look it's snowing!!" And we both rushed a stared at the white flakes floating down from the skies (actually it was more like sweeping down) I was going like "Wow!" and starting messaging people about the snow and was like mystified/mesmerized (oblivious to the possibility that people were thinking what a country bumpkin i must be..lol) by the snow.. And i actually walked in the snow! But in truth, it only snowed for like 10 minutes tops. It wasn't really snow.. more like sleet as it melted when it hit the ground.

Earlier that day, I had a tutorial on Consitutional about the "rule of law" and "Humans Rights Act 1998. The rule of law is basically about noone being above the law and a government ruled by law and not men. Our tutor is a very conversational guy who goes quite off topic a bit.. In fact, we hardly discuss the questions on our sheets directly but he does go through the key issues. When I went in, i was surprised to see a black cocker spaniel in the room! (like Nana, Eli!!) It was really friendly and obedient. A bit distracting tho'.. it was like a walking welcoming mat. Heh.

Now, the interesting thing which came up during the tutorial was the fact we started talking about countries that do not have the rule of law. Countries such as N. Korea, and our tutor did question about how far the concept of the rule of law is held in China. Then, we started talking about how political opponents are locked up using law(can u see where's this going??).. and the tutor then asked Han(The chinese girl studying law who's in my hall) where she's from.

Han told him she was from China and then he said," Oh ok.. I'm actually looking for someone from Malaysia?" And i sheepishly put up my hand and said, "Yeah, i'm from Malaysia" and i told the group about Anwar Ibrahim who was locked up under the charge of Sodomy (although i should have mentioned that sodomy is a crime in M'sia). In hindsight, maybe i should have brought up about the ISA instead.

Hmm.. Our country's reputation precedes itself.

That night, we (Seng, Jessie, Justin, Han and I) went do the city to eat at Wagamama's. It's like a Japanese/Chinese fusion restaurant. The main reason we went was 'coz i had two vouchers of buy 2 meals for the price of 1. If it wasn't of that, i assure you.. i wouldn't be there! Meals are quite pricey.. I had this noodle thingy which i can't remember what's the name of it. But it was cooked in coconut oil and it tasted like curry except very creamy and not too spicy. I had to add chilli oil to make it more tasty. It was alright.. but i wouldn't pay 7 quid just for that. They gave me like only 3 barbeque king prawns(they weren't very kingly if you ask me!) in it.

Justin had something like mine except with chicken fillets. Seng had this like maggi mee goreng but using the Jap noodles and he said it reminded him of home. Heh.

So the overall verdict was.. the food was nothing to shout about la.. Pricey tho'. We also had duck dumplings which were not bad.

Ahhh.. That's all for now, folks! 'Till next time...
