I live here in London too - but I still find your consumer goods reviews fascinating! Keep it up!

Sometimes I really like buying supermarket home-brands, like Tesco teabags and tinned chopped tomatoes :) Makes me feel good that I'm saving money! But for importantstuff like ketchup and soft drinks, I only buy 'branded'!

Heh heh.

Well I am sure you will be dissapointed to hear that the new Monopoly - The Here & Now Limited Edition no longer contains Marylebone Station. All of London's train stations has been replaced by airports. Mind you, £2m for Heathrow is still pretty cheap.

Coke here is a little different from those sold in Malaysia. There is a sense of bitterness I couldn't remember tasting in bottled Coca Colas when I was in KL.

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

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

payback.. full moon sways......
