As promised.. Monkeys in london..FOC

hullo, this gonna be a short one. i have no ideas how to elaborate how the monkeys came to being. maybe the theories of evolution MIGHT provide the answer to why did i see monkeys in london.
okok .. it's not monkeys. but they sure acted like some. these pictures were taken outside hyde park on the live 8 day. Notice in the pictures there are these 4 guys in Michael Jackson's similiar uniform. i did not know they were part of the live 8 show until i saw them on telly that nite.
hehe but they were queuing up with the crowd as well. i guess i thought they were just some sort of live 8 fanatics. hehe.
but cool :)
there were cops all around. there was this guy who wanted to take the picture of the policeman with the horse. this cop was nice enough to let the tourist take a picture with him.
when ppl tried to cut queues, the police was there to stop them and there were jeers for the queue cutters and cheers for the cops who stopped them from the ppl in the queues. cos i think the queue went on for about 2 km ? or maybe less or more.. but i am sure it was VERY VERY LONG.
one of the fences was broken and they were like flies swarming to the location. all trying to get into the park.
i was just sitting around looking. :P
here are the pics .

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready..

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
