Drams and Domino's Pizzas

It had just gone midnight and I have just gotten back into my room.  Feeling quiet tired so I will K.O. quite soon after this.  Today has been a very long day, but a very nice day.  I slept quite well last night on a strange bed.  Usually the first night on a different bed I would not get much rest.  Examples like at church camps and staying over at other friends' places etc.  But I thank God for giving me good sleep and also thank Ian and Leanne for going to so much effort in building the double bed for me and making sure I had enough pillows.  Also, I actually forgot to bring my moisturiser this trip and Ian even gave me his moisturiser.  I mean, how cool is that?!  It's like anything I can think of, they have for me!  Haha!

After breakfast and a shower, we all got ready for going out to the nearest city of Nottingham for some shopping.  We visited places like Hotel Chocolat (super cool!), Paperchase and Debenhams before settling down for some lunch.  We had quite a productive shopping trip this time and the long walks and stuff gave us a very big appetite.  So we went to Harvester at Trinity Square and had a very nice lunch.  The picture above was taken at Harvester just we delved into our lunch.  As you and see from above, the dishes in front of me were quite big.  In my hunger I decided to go for:

Plantation Platter
Flame-grilled chicken wings, boneless BBQ ribs, half a spitroast chicken and crackerjack prawns with
grilled corn on the cob, grilled pineapple rings and sour cream & chive dip.

For two to share, with two
sauces and two sides of your choice
(980kcal. per person.)

It took me almost 35mins to finish the whole platter, with Leanne helping me eat two of the chicken wings.  Yes I will have consumed almost 2000 calories but my goodness it tasted soooo good.  I totally felt my body required the refueling after all the travelling, walking and shopping, and the rest of the day too.  =D  After lunch we went to a few other places and got a few more things.  By the end of the day nobody left Nottingham empty handed let's say!  Haha!  Oh there were some funny conversations had during our shopping also.  Not just wedding related stuff but relationship stuff.  Haha!  Ian knows all about me and my successes and failures in this department of my life and he is very encouraging of me to find the right person in my life.  He again mentioned the important of finding the person we have the right "spark" with.  Because without that "spark", without thinking/ feeling like they are your best friend in life, it would be meaningless, it would not work out, regardless of nationality of the person.  This is very true.  Looks in a person will fade with time.  Money will (usually) run out with.  But the character of a person usually gets stronger as they mature physically and spiritually.  This is much more important.

To end this lovely day, we spent the evening chillaxing in the house.  I was hungry again so had some toast and a fruit and nut bar as snack.  Ian and I played Fifa 12 on the PS3.  I haven't had any time to play PS3 for a such a long time.  I think the last time I played was in Raymond's house back in the summer time or just before it.  Therefore tonight I played very horribly and the results were always in Ian's favour, apart from the very last game we played which I somehow managed to win 4-2 after an extra time length match.  Then again, I was using a 5-Star team playing against 1-Star team.  Lol!!

We ordered Domino's Pizza for dinner and munched that whilst watching Eastenders and New Girl.  Was my first time watching New Girl after hearing it was quite good.  In the end I quite liked the humour in it, however, I do not think I will have time to watch any more TV at home once I get back.  Currently I don't watch very much tv at all being so busy each day.  But I am very glad I got to spend this Friday evening so relaxed indoors with Ian and Leanne, watching British and American telly.  On top of that, Ian also let me try some whisky.  We had Jack Daniels with lemonade.  Jim Beam with lemonade and Glenmorangie whisky with lemonde.  Each time the whisky was very diluated, but even then my face's reaction to alcohol in the system is to turn my cheeks red.  But this time it was only every so lightly as it was so diluted.  LOL!

Right now I am not drunk.  Don't worry.  Haha!  Going to fall asleep after this.  Tomorrow we will have a later wake up time but will still have a long day of different visits like visiting the church, the wedding reception and will also get to meet Leanne's mum and dad.  =)
