London Energy And Buses and Dump trucks...

i got a text yesterday telling me to come home so that my flatmate could check the electrical meter in my room. dun ask me why but the meter is in the store in my room. :p anyways, told him i'd try to get home b4 630. then after half hour later he texted me again saying it was the whole street that went down.
so i didnt have to go back that early. so i took my time. reached home at about 7 pm.
the whole street was dark. anyways. reached home. talked with housemates for a bit. then figured out that we could call the customer service. got the number from london energy's bill. called them. got a machine. i thought oh shit... the robotic voices again. but no less than 2 buttons away, the fone rang. and it was answered promptly within 2-3 rings. The guy who answered was named kelvin or calvin. well anyways, he was very nice on the phone. politely explaining everything with patience.
damn. they do have good service.
they explained that underground cable affected. engineers fixing rerouting power to a safe thingy. etc.. should take about an hour or two. asked me to leave my number and name. told him that i wasn't the payer of the bill. he explained that they don't match names with address so it's just to make sure we get our electricity back. WOW. well. gave him my number.
sure enough. about 1 hour later. the lights came back. and then they called me and left a msg on my fone to check if power is okays. but i couldnt pick up cos it was on silent mode.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL SERVICE !!! DAMN!!! if only TNB had those kind of service back in msia. %$%$£^£%$
can't say much about bulldog's broadband thingy... geez... u CANNOT EVER GET THROUGH !!!!
anyways, enough about services.
today, i've learnt that never let a dump truck overtake u especially when the roads are wet. with those big tyres, .. damn water is sprayed everywhere .. &%"$^"$%"£$!£"
and they aren't pretty smell too. damn. lol.
and buses... one bus came so near me like was trying to scare me half to death. diu..
bastards..
or maybe i'm just in a bad mood today. lol

brussel sprouts are in season i think. they are going for 1 pack for 52p. it used to be like 1/4 of the pack for £1. but now seems to be cheaper. oh yeah. it seems to be siu pak choi. but it just didnt opened. anyways, that nite i went to morrisons, to buy more food. but when i walked halfway i found out that i didnt bring my wallet.. ^$£"%$£^%$ but lucky i had coins in my pocket. all i had was 96p. how sad.. lol . i went to the store to look for nga choi. er.. whta they call them here.. i think some sort of beans.. they usually sell them for 45p. i wanted it cos i cooked chicken rice mah. but then they didnt have it. and they have mixed stir fried thingy which was £1.29. poor ole me didnt buy it cos i didnt have enough lol so i hunted for cheap stir fry vege, the sprouts looked like a cheaper alternative. well.. i bought it. cooked it ate it with chicken rice. next thing i knew.. i was down with a bloody cough. ugh.. lotsa phlegm. not sure how i got it.. but that aside, i've ...

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...
