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.

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...

Ultimate Burger. ( sorry no pics)

Tried something new for lunch the other day. namely ultimate burger. . it's a tad pricey when compared to the burgers i had in macdonalds or burger king. :P £7 per medium sized burger. i had just the minted lamb burger(£6.95), and some spicy onion rings.(£1.95) in the ultimate burger store in tottenham court road. it was not too bad. a pretty nice setting too. all u have to do is queue up order ur food, then get a number then u put it on the table. they have sort of a hanger for u to put ur numbers to. just like in those kind of chinese open air market in petaling jaya give u number then they come look for u.. but this one they come to look for u with ur food almost about 2 mins after u've sat down and they would ask u if u liked ur food. gripes about the food. lamb burger seems small.. but its' about the size of a chargrilled flame burger in burgerking. taste wise, very tender lamb meat with mint sauce. it's nice. :P the onion rings are a different matter though . for ...
