Some of the things I wanted to do in Scotland is to see the Edinburgh Festival and the Military Tattoo. I was checking out the website for the Military Tattoo, and all the tickets are sold out! This is only February and the Tattoo is not until August! Even more unbeliveable considering the Tattoo is not a once-a-year thing, it actually runs for 3 weeks. And all tickets are already sold out... =(
I watched the movie 'In Bruges' yesterday. It's a dark comedy set in Bruges, Belgium. Collin Farrell kept calling it "a shithole" but I think it's very pretty. Like a city coming out of a fairy tale. So it goes into my 'wish to see/do list' as well.
A few other places I have in mind are Isle of Skye in Scottish Highland, Toledo in Spain, Cinque Terre in Italy, Gimmelwald in Switzerland and Salzburg in Austria. Whether or not I will get to visit all these places will depend on the budget and time I have. For the time being at least, I entertain myself with the belief and hope that I can go to all these places, and this makes me look forward to next semester with lots of excitement.

The last 2 weeks of my holiday..
... I spend in Sydney. All by myself.
Three weeks before uni is due to start I headed off to Shepparton for a one week rural elective placement. That means I still have another 2 weeks of holiday after that, and as usual, I stay in Sydney. My mum initially wanted to come and accompany me, but she couldn't get a flight on the same day as me. Then I thought, maybe it's not really necessary for her to come all the way here just to accompany me. SUREly I can survive on my own for just 2 weeks, right?
Hahah it's nearly the end of the 2nd week. And I have to say I manage amazingly well on my own! My biggest fear at the start was being alone at night time, but that turned out to be nothing. My second fear was of feeling lonely, but that too, turned out to be nothing. So now I'm pretty confident I can live independently, which is a really good thing since I know I will have to do so one day. This is a practice for the future, kind of..heheh=)
I also cook. Some turned out better than others. One of the worst was the meatball I tried to make. It was burnt on the outside, uncooked on the inside -.- (I should've used a low heat to fry it...) I made scrambled egg once, and I have to say, it was really easy to make! I don't get how Ormond always manage to screw it up... It's a pity I couldn't take any picture, my camera is broken, although I just bought it last December =(
Today I'm going to clear up my fridge. And that means coming up with a dish that has for its ingredients: 250g minced beef, 6 eggs, 1 1/2 spring onions, garlic, shallots, broccoli, bok choy and spinach. I just realized I bought a little too much grocery for one person...
