[Vlog] Ep. 5: What’s Inside? – Dorothy Perkins UK Online Purchase

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on [Vlog] Ep. 5: What’s Inside? – Dorothy Perkins UK Online Purchase

Did another online purchase. This time from Dorothy Perkins. No free delivery this time around because my purchase was less than £50, only £27. So we collected it in-store from Outfit.

Not sure when will my next video come. This is going to be the last video for March. New vlog might come likely 2 weeks after this as the coming weeks will be quite busy.

I’m using Huawei Nova 2 Lite and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2S for filming. Edit was done on the tab with Filmigo app.

[Vlog] Ep. 4: What’s Inside? – H&M UK Online Purchase

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on [Vlog] Ep. 4: What’s Inside? – H&M UK Online Purchase

Since I’ll be in the UK for a bit longer this time around and do not have the luxury of time to go shopping around this time, I decided to hop on the online purchase bandwagon here because it’s very convenient. Tried H&M UK for its online purchase since we get free shipping when we sign up as the club member. My sister ordered two tops which were not as described and I ordered a dress that I didn’t realize it’s a maxi dress. Hence, we had to return it.

Good thing is that we have a H&M store nearby so we decided to return to the store instead of using the other two options which I couldn’t really make sense of. Also, as an excuse to go in-store to look see look see, who knows there’s something else to buy when in-store hahaha….

Anyway, I bought two tops in-store already before trying out its online store. It was quite fast for the delivery. We ordered on Sunday and it arrived on Tuesday. The return was easy and quick. Made another purchase online from another brand. Waiting for the package to be ready and to be collected from the store. Another video for this will come soon.

My first attempt in documenting my journey from Kuching to Newcastle. Not very satisfied with this video, I looked rather horrible too hahaha… Did the introduction and ending right after I woke up hahah… Brain wasn’t functioning too well. No tripod for this video 😛 Such a long journey from Kuching to Newcastle but still cannot break the record of me flying from Adelaide to Busan via Singapore *LOL*. This is my first time using British Airways and also first time on a Dreamliner.

G. Bolam Foods, The Full Monty Restaurant

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on G. Bolam Foods, The Full Monty Restaurant

We wanted to stock up some meat and we went to G. Bolam Foods (Sedgefield Industrial Estate, Salters Lane, Sedgefield, County Durham TS21 3EE) for it. Before we shop, we had lunch at its restaurant(The Full Monty Restaurant) for lunch.


So many people dined there, really no nonsense at all! Packed! Young and old, people from all walks of life.


We ordered beef and pork carvery set(£6.15/set) which came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, mashed potato, carrot & turnip, and cabbage drenched with rich beef gravy all in one plate. That one plate of goodness can be shared among at least 6 small eaters or 4 average eaters.

It was such a satisfying meal! Meat lovers will definitely won’t miss it.

After our lunch, we went to the get our meat. Didn’t get to take any photo of the place though. Camera not allowed if not mistaken. Not just meat that you can get, there’s also bread, cheese, fish, fruits, vegetables, seasonings, and cooking tools too. All under one roof. So much to see! I can spend at least 1 hour there!

Ok… This is the second last post of my July 2018 UK’s trip. It sure is taking a long time to finish. One last one is sharing with you about the airline I used to fly to the UK. Can’t wait to start blogging about my August 2018 Japan trip hahaha…

Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Saltburn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire

Saltburn-by-the-Sea is a seaside town in North Yorkshire, England. We went there specifically to eat fish and chips hahaha…

After we parked our car, we noticed there’s a garden there called the Saltburn Valley Gardens.


A popular place for young and old to enjoy the nature. The paths and tracks are equipped with seats at frequent intervals.


The walk is likely to be suitable for people with impaired mobility or with a pushchair, wheelchair or mobility scooter. There’s also a playground for the kids. The circular walk is approximately 2 miles in length (3.2km)There is also tea room in the Valley Gardens but it was already closed when we were there.


After the walk, came out from the garden, we walked towards Saltburn beach.


Here, you can see Saltburn beach and Hunt Cliff.


We stopped by for ice cream and I highly recommend the ice cream from this shop, Surfs Up( Foreshore Buildings Lower Promenade, Saltburn-by-the-Sea TS12 1HQ, UK).


Saltburn Pier is the only pleasure pier on the whole of Northeast England and Yorkshire coast. The 1,500 feet (460 m) pier opened in May 1869. We didn’t walk to the end of it because the sea breeze was just too cold(for us… :p) even though it’s summer that time.


The place where we wanted to get the fish and chips was not opened on that day. In fact many were not open. The only place that was opened was The Seaview Restaurant. Supposed to just get a simple fish and chips and to enjoy eating it while looking out of the sea, we ended up at The Seaview Restaurant, the price of the food were more expensive of course.


We ordered Cod and Chips(small-£8.80); Haddock and Chips(small-£12.50); and Smoked Salmon & Prawn Salad(£12.95). Really love the chips, it’s chunky, not shoestring or crinkle cut, and fried to perfection.

After dinner, it’s time to head back. Still trying hard to finish this trip post hahaha… Two more post to go… A porky meal and my experience on Emirates before I start with my Japan trip posts.

Chinese New Year coming soon! Follow my Instagram for frequent updates. I will not have access to my laptop for about a week by then. There won’t be any post during that period of time. See you in Pig Year! 😉
