Foody weekend

Saturday started off with shopping for something to wear for a tea party. Being a girl, I ended up not buying that and bought other stuff instead o.O. I spent perhaps one hour or more eying at a skirt I want, and went to perhaps 3 other H&M and Uniqlo stores along Oxford street and couldn't find the size I want.
And all I was after was a simple plain black skirt.
The thing about UK shopping is eventhough it is not a sale, when you come back to get the jacket you want, the sizes are all gone. So when you find something you like, whether or not it's on sale, it'll be gone when you come back again.
Anyhoo, I went back to the same store and waited patiently for one of the sales assistant to grab the skirt off a mannequin...yeah, I was that desperate because I really like that black skirt. It was a sweet ending to my shopping spree :). Other stuff I bought was a scarf, bracelet, necklace, a cute pair of ear rings, a silk shirt and some fine merino top...and I avoided looking at each receipts when I got home.
And while I was out shopping and playing badminton, D decided to attempt on making Authentic Chicken Rice!!! And I am so proud of him!! He was so detailed, hehe...to the point that he marinated the chicken with salt, garlic, and ginger and pre-cook rice with oil and garlic before actually cooking it!
Sunday was spent at a High Tea party celebrating a friend's birthday. It was held at the Royal Garden Hotel near Kensington palace. Reasonable and it was great to have girl chat for a change. We get to pick the tea we want, and whether we want a champagne type tea or normal. We were serve a shelve of plates with yummy lovely soft scones on top, dessert in the middle and sandwhiches at the bottom. The best bit was that we got refills, and we were shock that we had tea cakes after our mains as we were all stuffed!
The waitress was kind enough to take away in boxes and we gave it to the birthday girl :)
YUM
Was so stuffed but me and D headed for more food at a friend's flat.Pasta and chicken. Was super stuffed with sugar,but was keen to see our friend's flat.
Am headed for a busy week for work. Stuff are all due in all at one go, eeps. But I can't complain since I'm getting paid by the hour, woohoo!
