Edinburgh's Hogmanay

Went to Edinburgh for New Year and it was magnificent! The city is very charming. There were castles and bagpipers, "red hot chili pipers", merry go round, some sort of mini amusement park near the Scott monument, etc etc. When we went there, it wasn't as cold as I expected so it added the level of greatness! :D Well, I was excited the whole time. merry go round, ferris wheel, and other amusement rides near the Scott Monument A church (as i recall) inside the castle complex Oven baked haddock fish with leek sauce. worth every penny, dear me.

Cepat Pulang

A cover on Marcell's Firasat. I am enjoying the terrible weather, sandwiches, layers, thick jackets, essay, and exams now. So when the time comes, I will wholeheartedly cherish the hot weather, short pants, t-shirts, pangsit, and living with parents. Go go Power Ranger!!
