Fun-filled Weekend

My weekend was fun! I met up with my friends and we all went to a place called New Lanark, which is a UNESCO heritage site. It was about more than an hour's drive from the Glasgow city centre. The weather was very chilly, with minimal sunlight.

New Lanark consisted of many cotton mills during the olden days. The mills were managed by a famous man, Robert Owen. He was well-known for providing free health care, education and decent homes to those villagers in New Lanark. Today, New Lanark has been restored and we managed to get a glimpse of how life used to be during those days. The view was rather scenic because it is now autumn.

Casino Royal was also one of the highlights of the weekend. We managed to get seats for this James Bond movie. omg, this Bond is certainly HOT! I thought this Bond movie was quite different from the others, but I enjoyed it.

This weekend has also been two days of indulgence. We indulged in coffes and cakes! As you know, chirstmas is just around the corner, and both Starbucks & Costa coffee came out with their special edition christmas drinks. Thumbs up to all the drinks. And I do not know why I was craving badly for a slice of cheesecake. So I had one for bfast on Sunday!! haha. It was
crazy.

Oh, and guess what? My friends and I discovered Nando's in Glasgow!! yay!! I LOVE Nando's. The atmosphere was very warm (similar to Chili's in KL). The food was great! Although the peri-peri sauce was burning my stomach, I still continued to dip my chicken into it. =P

As expected, time flew past so quickly. And now it is already 10pm on a Sunday night, which means I should probably retire to bed soon and get myself ready for work AGAIN! Nite nite!
