This afternoon I went to go watch The Scottish Circuit Race Championships which was taking place down at Erskine Harbour near where I stay.

Since I wasn’t doing anything I thought I’d check it out & watch the races along with the internationally renowned stunt cyclists Danny McCaskill and The Clan which was pretty cool! It was a nice sunny day, except a little chilly as the afternoon went on. I ended up leaving after an hour & didn’t see the finish LOL

Say hello to men in tight tight lycra shorts *swoon*

So my friends Gillian & Brian finally tied the knot after 8 years together. It was a great 4 days in Northern Ireland, even though I didn’t get to see much of the place I did manage to vist a few little places such as Ballymena, Dervock, Stranocum and of course Ballymoney where I was staying.

The little guest house I was staying at was great, it was owned by a husband & wife who were really friendly. The lady; Mary kept forcing me to eat breakfast and was obsessed with trying to find me a good Irish boy as she said it was a shame I was single LOL. Every single day she kept going on & on obsessing that I need a good Irish boy, so much so that it was driving me nuts. Unfortunately, no cute Irish boys for me but damn do they sound hot! Mary was upset that I didn’t find Mr Right during my stay. While I was there, I helped set up their WI-FI router which pleased Kenny & fixed his computer as well LOL

So yes, Gillian & Brian got married. It was a great day from start to finish! I danced my little feet off, so much so that I kicked my killer heels off, boogied with the Father of the Bride & tons of others while a live band played the night out. The food was amazing, so much of it that I could hardly move after stuffing my face & I’ve made new friends. I really want to go back to Northern Ireland & explore it a little bit more, road trip perhaps?

I ended up taking tons of photos (those who are facebook friends can see them) but this is my favourite one of them both. Loving the fact Brian is holding Gillian’s flowers & the look on her face is priceless

The top of their wedding cake was hilarious…

& because everyone complains I don’t take enough photos of myself, I took some pictures of me & what I wore. I went for the simple classy look. Minimal makeup, wavy hair with a black, red & white dress along with killer black heels. For someone who hasn’t worn a dress in 10 years, I loved it. Except for the fact it was 1/2 way up my thighs when I sat down LOL which made a few eyes pop

Now my hunt is on for a hot geeky Irish guy LOL

My brother Andrew finally tied to knot last month to his girlfriend Lisa, they had been planning the wedding for nearly 2 years & finally did it. It was a great day & the majority of the family turned up which was great seeing people I haven’t seen in years & meeting the in-law-in-law’s (that’s my way of saying my sister-in-law’s family!). A few of the older members of our extended family couldn’t come because of their health which is understandable but we kept some wedding cake for them & sending them some photos so they can feel they were a part of it.

So now, I have a sister. I give it 6 months before I’m an auntie as well LOL

Oh & you MUST watch this video from the wedding reception lol Lisa’s brother’s girlfriend got “Robbie Williams” to perform at the wedding & he got my brother, Lisa’s 2 brothers & an usher to pretend they were Take That. It was hilarious!

I love watching movies… old classics, french, indian & korean along with the latest box office releases. I’m currently off work for a week ill with a severe chest infection so I decided to dig out my favourite old movie collection & watch some again (for the 10 millionth time?). The movies below are some of my favourites, they never get old & I could still watch them time & time again. So, if you could watch any old movie again & again, what would it be?

To Kill A Mockingbird

Mutiny On The Bounty

Breakfast At Tiffany’s

Greyfriars Bobby

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, but needs must. Enjoy my little rant!

Til next time,

I’ve never been to Wagamama before but everytime I walk past it, I keep remembering to go in! So many times I’ve wanted to try it but then friends/family wanted to go elsewhere…. until today!

I took mom out for an early dinner & decided today was the day. The food was amazing, everything on the menu sounded so good & we couldn’t help but stare at everyone’s dish as they got them too!

I ordered Teriyaki Soba Beef which is grilled teriyaki beef on a bed of teppan fried soba noodles with curry oil, mangetout, chillies, red and spring onions, beansprouts and bok choi with teriyaki sauce, coriander and sesame seeds. It was amazing! The beef was so tender, the noodles had a great taste to them with just the right amount of chilli, I will be definately ordering this again! I couldn’t finish it all because mom & I had 2 scoops of Baskin Robbins before going for dinner so I got them to wrap it up in a little takeaway box for me & will happily be munching away the leftovers at work tomorrow afternoon

Mom got Ebi Raisukaree which is prawns stir-fried in a coconut and lime curry sauce with mangetout, peppers, red and spring onions served on sticky white rice and garnished with red chillies, coriander and lime. I actually wanted to order this dish as well as it sounded amazing but decided on the Teriyaki Soba Beef, but we decided to share the dishes so we could try both. Mom’s was amazing, the sauce was amazing & I’m a sucker for prawns and chillies

We also got some Ebi Gyoza on the side which is deep-fried prawn and vegetable dumplings served with a spicy citrus ponzu dipping sauce, these were so yummy & complimented the dishes well! They didn’t last long though, we gobbled them within seconds

So there you have it, my first Wagamama experience & now I want to eat through the entire menu

This week marks a month since I started work, yes I’m officially all grown up now I work in the IT Industry, as a Techie fixing Computers & Peripherals remotely. I love it to pieces & am learning so so much every single day. Every single day you get different problems to fix & you have to think quick to try and resolve the problems as well as giving out advice.

We work in a shift pattern anytime between 8am and Midnight, 5 days out of 7, 40 hours a week. It’s challenging, messes with your sleep pattern & right now you’re lucky if you get 2 days off together, it’s been pretty much 1 day off at the weekend then 1 day off during the week.

Before the team went live (as it’s a new department) we had a week of training, the first few days were really scary because I was one of two girls amongst 13 men. However, I’m now the only girl in the entire Techie team as she quit last week. Even though I’m now the only girl, we all get on great, joke around & socialize outside of work, they are a great bunch! I even bake them cupcakes LMAO

So there it is… a new era in my life & I’m loving every bit of it, even if I don’t want to grow up
