			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">In december, i made my maiden trip to Birmingham. Apart from knowing it being one of the largest cities in UK, i also was informed that it&#8217;s full of banglas. Other than that, Birmingham is also home to one of the more eccentric friend that i have, mr william.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">So on that fine morning, i was about to step out of the house when there&#8217;s a msg on my msn, so i replied it. And that very msg made me miss the bus and i had to wait for 1 hour for the next one in the cold T___T</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">And then i had to switch train at Nottingham and because their PA system was down and i couldn&#8217;t find the next platform for my connecting train, i miss it again!! and had to wait another hour for the next one. The supposedly 4 hours journey took me a staggering 6 stupid hours. So frustrating.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Once i got there, Will took me to this dimsum place where i met someone who reads my blog. OMG! Hie, to you if u still read me *blush* I consider it one of my highlights in my blogging life because someone actually come up to me and say hie~and out of so many place, birmingham <img src='http://apple4today.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Before dropping my stuff at the smallest hostel i&#8217;ve ever seen, we went line up for one of the best dougnut in town! But to will, he say it&#8217;s nothing, just another bread with a hole, hmmph!</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44sHJvMzzI/AAAAAAAAB9k/3G1fmp2FrGk/s1600-h/DSC00069.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44sHJvMzzI/AAAAAAAAB9k/3G1fmp2FrGk/s400/DSC00069.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156107124770393906" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">And when we were lining up(gosh, the line was unbelievable long!) the </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >HOT NOW</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> sign was slowly spinning around so we got ourself free original glaze each. MY favorite flavour.</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R4_3VpvMz9I/AAAAAAAAB-0/5gWGDCygAig/s1600-h/DSC00070.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R4_3VpvMz9I/AAAAAAAAB-0/5gWGDCygAig/s320/DSC00070.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156612049715646418" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">In the evening, we went to this german market at the city centre. Note that i&#8217;m there before christmas so it&#8217;s all winter holiday mood still.</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44pT5vMzmI/AAAAAAAAB78/pWFRSABz97w/s1600-h/P1180135+copy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 321px; height: 428px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44pT5vMzmI/AAAAAAAAB78/pWFRSABz97w/s400/P1180135+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156104045278842466" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Plenty of stalls selling knick knacks, porcelain stuff and candies.</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44q05vMzvI/AAAAAAAAB9E/Ic_VRhJ9YK8/s1600-h/P1180125.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 434px; height: 325px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44q05vMzvI/AAAAAAAAB9E/Ic_VRhJ9YK8/s400/P1180125.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156105711726153458" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44qz5vMztI/AAAAAAAAB80/YWCRkqqIJKs/s1600-h/P1180126.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 433px; height: 324px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44qz5vMztI/AAAAAAAAB80/YWCRkqqIJKs/s400/P1180126.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156105694546284242" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44t3JvMz5I/AAAAAAAAB-U/_fbBZOhogCc/s1600-h/P1180124.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 432px; height: 323px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44t3JvMz5I/AAAAAAAAB-U/_fbBZOhogCc/s400/P1180124.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156109048915742610" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">There&#8217;s like sea of people at the German market, most standing around a small table drinking beer or eating some hot food. The ambiance was excellent. You get the happy music coming from a merry-go-round nearby and the sound of laughter from the crowd on top of the sweet smelling of roast pork and wursts. Jason took the exact same photo like mine, the reindeer thingie but he took his at manchester!!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">We got ourself a nice little bacon in the bun after staring at the roasting pork for quite some time. The sweet smell of onions and bacon are to tempting to resist.</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44sHpvMz0I/AAAAAAAAB9s/mTdmbTWzrrk/s1600-h/P1180129.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 429px; height: 321px;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44sHpvMz0I/AAAAAAAAB9s/mTdmbTWzrrk/s400/P1180129.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156107133360328514" border="0" /></a><br /><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44sG5vMzyI/AAAAAAAAB9c/hw8cQz4iUMA/s1600-h/P1180131.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 425px; height: 318px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44sG5vMzyI/AAAAAAAAB9c/hw8cQz4iUMA/s400/P1180131.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156107120475426594" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Will finished most of it. I only pose for the sake of blogging which makes me look like a hungry pig..or am i not? hahah</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">We also had some wurst&#8230;which made me damn full!!! Then we went for a walk around birmingham. Which basically finished my tour. That&#8217;s all done under 1 day.</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R4_6j5vMz-I/AAAAAAAAB-8/Kauif10QUhs/s1600-h/P1180140.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 371px; height: 277px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R4_6j5vMz-I/AAAAAAAAB-8/Kauif10QUhs/s320/P1180140.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156615593063665634" border="0" /></a></p>

I was really glad to see the weather was lovely outside and can&#8217;t wait to go out. So i wait and wait&#8230;until 3pm </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >T____T </span><span style="font-family:georgia;">Why william, WHY&#8230;.

And with so much time in hand, i used it to paint my face </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >-__-</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> There&#8217;s really nothing much to do.

<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">We proceed to make </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >Char Koay Kak</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> wtf&#8230;. I told you this friend of mine is eccentric. And i actually had alot of fun because neither of us has a clear clue on how to make it. Taruh saja lah and then try to improvise from the &#8220;super secret recipe&#8221;</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44pVpvMzqI/AAAAAAAAB8c/W7779heP2RE/s1600-h/DSC00122.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44pVpvMzqI/AAAAAAAAB8c/W7779heP2RE/s400/DSC00122.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156104075343613602" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">It was another long night for me. It has been so long since we met up and so we have many grandmother story to tell. Haha</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">The next morning, it just take too much time and work to make koaykak we just make it to radish cake/loh pak kou. Surprisingly&#8230;quite successful although abit tasteless and ugly looking. Hahahahaha.. Anyone that can guess the formation of the below, is simply genius ok?</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Giving up, we had proper breakfast at Weatherspoon. The weather was very frosty and seriously cold.</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44tZpvMz2I/AAAAAAAAB98/InS6bC1nDkg/s1600-h/P1180217.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44tZpvMz2I/AAAAAAAAB98/InS6bC1nDkg/s400/P1180217.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156108542109601634" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">And i bid farewell to my dear friend that has been such a wonderful host. It&#8217;s really weird. For when i was in penang most of the time, he&#8217;s in US. When i was in KL most of the time, he&#8217;s in penang. And when I&#8217;m in UK, he&#8217;s back to penang. So for this small fraction of time when both of us are in the same land, i </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;" >had</span><span style="font-family:georgia;"> to make effort to meet him. Or else, it will be god knows when shall we meet again.</span></p>
<p><a style="font-family: georgia;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44qy5vMzrI/AAAAAAAAB8k/kt7WL4JEKwY/s1600-h/DSC00148.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_E2efQC1IlxE/R44qy5vMzrI/AAAAAAAAB8k/kt7WL4JEKwY/s400/DSC00148.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156105677366415026" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-family:georgia;">Anyhoo, it was great fun there i had in Birmingham. It seriously has the BEST SHOPPING place called bullring. For an emo person such like me, it has been a whirlwind 3 days for me. Let&#8217;s hope that we meet up soon~~ Despite all the ranting above, u know i still miss seeing you, Will. So please dont merajuk on me okk? haha</span></div>
