went to that place to do a free consultation on lasik. few tests were done on my eye.
list of tests
1. photo of my retina or my eye.
2. computerised measurements of my myopia. including measuring my spectacles glass index.
3. some weird ass thingy that blew at my eye while i looked at the red light.
4. then they checked my eye using conventional method but the machine that checked my eye was none conventional.
5. then came the drops . with a thingy like pen it poked my cornea to measure its thickness.
6. after measuring. came sommore drops to dilate my pupils so that it looks like the eyes of the cat when it's nite time. big and round !! :P
7. then last but not least, after the pupils dilated, they took a bright light and shone it right to the back of my eye to check the back of my eye.
well all in all no problem. i could do it. but the thing is that it would cost £1600. OMG.i could fly back to msia and do it back home and come back to london with that price.
*grumbles* i gotta think about it i told them.
anyways, when my pupils were dilated, i walked out and dizzy i didnt know where i was.

a less funny place to be. a shop that sells pure jap mangas. in sets. nice :) but it's non-translated. so it's all in jap. too bad i dont read jap.
then the other one is a jap shop along the same road. selling some varieties of jap food and prices worded in jap. they even have a notice board for jap ppl there.

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.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

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...
