short update blog meet in london. reminds me of IRC meets 10 years ago :P

right.. the title does make me sound old.. but not as old as i felt when jon mentioned.. "i thought u were younger". hahahaha!!
never mind that. we met up at cafe rendezvous where all they served was yoghurt icecream. or drinks. erm i wasnt that thirsty or hungry to eat yoghurt. i ate enough yoghurt when i was growing up to last a lifetime. considering i've a mom who made them every other day. fresh yoghurt everyday. eat it and it's good for you. sister liked it more than i did i think. :P
now u gotta imagine.. lessee.. patrick and vish was there first. i didnt know where was the cafe. but i was lucky to put the map on my fone b4 i went. so at least i knew roughly where it was. well.. i walked the other way and then i found out it was on the other side of the park. will post the pics up in later on monday if i'm not that freaking busy.
anyways, reached there. talked for a bit. met vish. then jon and jenni came. vish's friend was there as well. then a few more of them joined in afterwards.
felt hungry. asked them when should we go and eat. it was at wagamama. too long a queue. didnt wanna wait. walked to china town. into a restaurant. ate. went to borders read a bit then bought a frappucino. £2.90 for a grande. that's london for u. not sure bout the price back home. but b4 i left, prices in kl were still at RM11.00.
right, all in all i had fun. made it felt like home. heheh. at least i didnt really need to speak proper english. :p
met a korean who said, if u asked me which part of korea i'm from.. have u ever met anyone from any other part of korea... lol. apparently north koreans can't leave the country ? not sure.
and met a guy from Uzbezkistan. learnt a few russian words to test out on my colleague on monday.
supin sin, atig galiboy and takizo or something like that. muahahhahahahha
met a indian londoner as well. all in all , great meet up.
ahh back to the title. hehe.
the last time i did this kind of meet up over the internet was about 9 years ago. i put 10 years cos it makes it sound nicer. hehe. well IRC was the IN thing back then. it was still fun. i do keep in touch with a few of them from the IRC days. most of us never use IRC anymore but those were the days.
now the IN thing now is bloggers meetup. they are EVERYWHERE !!!
yeah wanted to write this down b4 i forget about the irc meet.
was in borders and found out that they were having some sort of anime convention in excel centre in docklands next weekend. will try my best to make it there . hehe
nites for tday.

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...
