Welsh Delicacies
Esmond and Rachel were here to visit last Friday till Sunday.
The only few places I could think of was St. Fagans and Cardiff Bay. And so, I went to St. Fagans for the 5th time last Saturday:) I really like the Welsh museum and I always notice something different each time I'm there. This time I saw fresh grapes hanging in the green house and some interesting looking plant. It amazes me that God created so many different plants, of different colours, size, height and texture.
Esmond and Rachel at St. Fagans:)
Grapes
Quite a tall plant
When we were around city centre, I bought a book.
A book containing Welsh dishes:D
I was really excited when I bought it, especially most, almost all the dishes were doable and fairly simple:)
Till now, I have only tasted Welsh Cakes and cawl(stew).
I've always wanted to try laver bread but when I first saw it at Cardiff Market, it didnt look too appetizing as the seaweed looked gluey.
But after mixing oats and an egg, this is how it looks:
A bit bland, not salty or sweet
Then I also made my favourite Welsh Cakes :D :D
I didnt have the proper flat griddle so had to make do with a frying pan. Hence a bit burnt and less moist than those from Cardiff Market.
Also known as 'Cacennau Cri'
Not sure what I'll make next but cawl is definitely in my list:)

10 more days!!
Called my parents this evening to tell them that Brian's going to take picture for me on my graduation! :) :) :)
Brian is a very pro photographer who has helped a lot of people capture their best shots during birthdays, graduations and other events. Last night during dinner, Brian offered to help me take some picture next Wednesday! It's so sweet of him cause Brian doesnt stay in Cardiff and he has to drive into Cardiff (30 minutes each trip) and he's in the midst of completing his project and thesis.
When I told my daddy that Brian can help snap some shots after the ceremony, my daddy said all cameras are almost the same >< I replied, but the photographer matters a lot!! A good camera also requires a photographer with good skills. *true right?*
My mummy remembers Brian as the person who took really nice pics on my birthday this year :)
Bottomline is: Brian is a professional photographer who manages to capture nice shots all, if not most of the time! I'm so blessed to have him take pictures for me and my family!! :):):)
A rare pic of Brian cause he's always the one snapping them.

Got my marks yesterday and I'm so thankful for my results. It's not so great and it's just at the borderline. Being officially labelled as a CARBS graduate with results I need is indeed by God's grace and blessings.
Having had classmates who has helped me during my 2 years here is definitely another blessing from the Lord Almighty. Thank you Lord!
Got a dress for my graduation last Wednesday. Quite happy with it cause it aint easy to find a formal yet nice dress:)
Was having a dinner with my coursemates and I think my graduation and my wedding and baptism would be and are 3 big days in my life. Had my baptism and my graduation is just in 11 days! Excited yet sad that I would no longer be entitled for student discounts anymore :(
Well, the down side of being a graduate is to be classified as 'Unemployed' ie. me who's not found a job. It's really different to move onto a whole new phase in life. Exciting yet daunting. Mixed feelings in my case. Nevertheless, it's comforting to know that God is there and will lead my paths as I move into a new phase of my life:)
