The Day After Yesterday....

how ironic that i went to watch war of the worlds on last nite. it was an impromptu decision as some of my friends wanted to go watch a movie in odeon.
little bit about the cinema i went. it was empty. erm not literally empty but there weren't alot of ppl at the cinema. bought the tickets.
£7 for adults and my friends had student cards.. so they paid less i think.
not sure how much less. but for shows before 5pm they get to pay only £5.50.
cinema was BIG ! HUGE Seats as well. chairs were stacked nicely so that ppl's head won't block the view of the person behind watching the show.
the ads were a bit nicer though. movies starts after 15 to 20 mins of trailers and ads. it was free seating. not sure if that happens all the time. but maybe it was because there were so few ppl watching the show.
After the movie, i found out that i AM an movie fan. cos i didnt really like that story after all. bear in mind that i've forgotten about how the storyline went. ( it was written by H.G. Wells about 120 years ago. friend said it was good.
oh well.. :P
back to yesterday,
when i was going home, i saw sooooooo many ppl walking towards the finsbury park station which they said was open. and to walk from my office to finsbury park should take at least 1 and half hours. phew.. that was hard walking.
but i got me trusty old bike. got home in one piece. didnt dare to go too near buses after i heard about the news.
today, the streets were not as jammed up as yesterday but the route i take to go to work everyday which usually has very little or no cars was JAMMED.
i saw on telly what was actually shown to the world outside of london, then i realized that THAT was the reason why ppl were so worried because from where i was, i didnt notice a thing. but the news showed all the bloodied mess, the blast on the bus, phew.. Thank God i was not there but for those who were caught by the blast, lets hope they are coping up with the aftershock of the thingy.
Union Jack is at half mast today. ( nope didnt see that either just what i saw on bbc)
grats to the metro police who handled the situation well enough that i didnt even know what was happening. :P
that's all for today.

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

today will be a bit earlier as i hvae something to say

. last nite went back. threw the rubbish outside the flat. i think the collectors come at about 8pm-ish. and was trying to think of what to cook. i contemplated against making fish fingers with salad. but it turned out my fridge died again.. i dun understand it.. it just turns off. grumbles. and then my salad went bad. so there's no salad to be eaten. and then i thought wth, lets cook spaghetti, then i washed the pot. and then suddenly realized that it was awfully quiet, and the water was running cold. GAH!! the heater was not working. and that would mean we ran out of gas. and the feller who tops up the gas ( we use a gas card) not in. so cannot cook anything. then i was thinking should i go out and buy food. then i remembered that i havent had rice in AGES. so out came the steamer. and + 4 eggs + canned tuna + half a can of corn. steamed rice + steamed eggs + the rest of them. finished it off. phew.. i wouldnt hvae cooked rice if there was gas. bah i guess it worked out all good...
