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.

of brussels sprouts and racial features.

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...
