Living in London

hmm amazing that i can afford not to eat the whole day and then go home and eat one dinner then go to bed.. that's crazy and i'm still going at 78kg.. i was 74 just a few weeks ago.. not good. not good for health definitely but i am not hungry. lessee.. supposed to buy snoreeze for a friend of mine he keeps reminding me almost every other day. hahhaa. well i still havent gotten around buying it. at 12£ a shot / box or whatever it's called. it's not cheap to stop snoring at nite. not sure if it works cos i dont use it. but i do snore. anyways, will pop by boots one of these days. which reminds me i need to get a refund on my premium bonds . it's like an amanah saham nasional thingy back in msia. but this allows u to win about 1 million pounds. talk about being hopeful. :P anyways, i gathered that much of my luck aint with gambling. if i ever feel really lucky, i'll buy the national lottery. else. i tink i'lll just stick with being poor. hahha note: for the ...

well as the pictures shwo it looks okays. but it tastes like icecream in bread with the chocolate sauce all over the bread. wel not exactly like bread cos the outside is a bit crusty or crispy or whichever u like to call it. the chocolate tasted okay. but not the best sauce i've tasted. bought it in morrisons for 99p. it was buy 1 free 1. i'm on holidays today. well note for anime. : a totally nice love story. - kimi ga nozomu eien. well not exactly nice.. but true to life. finished it.. muahhahahhaha hehe. speaking of that. i think i'll eat the free box now. yum *droool* p/s side note. i managed to create beef rendang. wooot !!! lol. i wasnt sure how it'd turn oout.. but yes.. i did it.. !! now i can cook rendang all i want. but too bad my first time with rendang was a little bit salty..hahhaha

okies. as the title says. when i was taking the bus to sheffield, i thought it was easy to get to victoria coach station cos if victoria station is there.. then the coach station is somewhere there la.. but then when i check the travel planner or rather journey planner for the bus routes.. it says it's 10 mins bus ride away. i si buey panic la liddat.. cos i dont wanna pay extra for bus fares mah. hehe. anyways, i managed to get the right place. it's pretty near victoria coach station. take a look at the map. it's at the spot marked X. it's only about 5 mins walk away. but a better map can be viewed from the journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk website.just put in from victoria station and destination victoria coach station. :P here's the interior of the bus station. this bus station puts our puduraya bus station to shame.. but then actually ahh.. i think no need to compare la.. hehe.. later i am also going back mah.. but if we got so nice bus station i also dun mind take the...

pictures are self explanatory ler. i think buying those microwave dinners outside of london is so much cheaper. cos i bought the curry 99p for 2. i think it was john faulkner shop or something. here i think we can only get 99p for 1. anyways, taste was so so la.. couldnt really taste the chicken. it just all went down. so long it does the job of making my stomach stop grumbling at me. i'd take anything la. hehe. and oh yes, the bag of chocolates dont really cost £3.10 cos i bought only 300g. so it's about £1 for that lot. there was orange, okay la strawberry - ugh raspberry - double ugh choco fudge - sweet!!! hazelnut - this one tastes the nicest i guess i think there was more choices but i couldnt remember liaw.. finished it b4 i could write baout it. come to think of it. tonite must try to remmebre to throw rubbish. else full of rubbish liaw. Rome is booked. yippee. rochester as well. some charles dickens thingy happening. bah enough said. ta p/s yesterday was sooooo %"$...

bought it from tesco when i was visiting tesco in sheffield. came in small little packets. I tried it the other day. or wassit yesterday.yeah i know looks weird. oh yeah. that's a leftover maggi cup noodle some friends left over when they came to visit. anyways, it was quite nice. feels almost the same like those u get in the restaurants except for the fact that i drank it out of a maggi cup. now i still have a few more to go. at about 20p a pop of miso soup. and considering i have no ideas what's in a miso soup. it's quite okay. p/s days here are getting more fun as well. each tiem i breath out i see smoke coming out of my mouth. one of these days, i'm gonna try like having smoke out of my nose like a magic dragon. lol.

geeez... i hate being an adult. it was so nice being a student and having not much worries except what am i gonna do for the weekend. now i have to think about the future. responsibilities. money. time. doing things that i have to do in order to survive. rather than just doing what i like when i like and how i like. growing up is not fun. hehe. i count and count the days when i can be ready to go home. or rather .. when i count the days and it becomes too long till i forget the days i have till i am ready ... things change liaw. so no use really for me to go back. yala.. i mean if i talk in msian sense. i stay away too long. i suffer. i dont stay away too long i also suffer. both ways also die die.. sien.. hahhahahaha but then now tentatively still got another 7 months to go b4 my clock runs out. critical mass will be achieved in about 4 months. overload explosion will start counting down by the fifth month. it's the dratted holiday seasons and the gloomy winter ahead that's ca...

Picture above shows the location i was at today. i went to the microsoft launch of SQL 2005, Visual Studio 2005 and Biztalk 2006. etc. i went not because i wanted. but because there was a free lunch. :P anyways, it was cos i was given a free seat there so i went. lunch was fish, chicken, bread, rice. desert was blackberry cheesecake, strawberries and cream tart, mango pudding or something like that.. no pictures. :P too busy eating. learnt a few things i could apply in my daily work. esp. sql 2k when upgraded to sql 2005. the IDE was good as well. anyways, the refreshments were served as above. quite a lot of ppl attended the launch. i'm not sure how many but it may have been about 5-6k ppl ? but heard the commentator from microsoft said it was about 10k .. i didnt keep count. well.. what a day. supposed to stay at home and rot.. but had a free lunch. oh well. all's well ends well. tomorrow is another day of off day yippeee.. note to self. i hate trinity blood's ending.. £...

Zizzi's italian restaurant. i suppose it's italian. cos i couldnt see any other types of meal on the menu. didnt really wanna eat as i ate a heavy breakfast this morning from pain du jour . a small cafe or whatchaumacallit.. cheap hot food. instead of paying £1.60 for sandwich in tesco. i get a hot baguette with my choice of bacon or burger. it's empty though. just bacon and the baguette. it's okays since it's hot. for its price, i'd say that shop has one of the best food i've ate around that area. back to lunch. carbonara i ate... had less than 4 small 0.5cm X 0.2 cm X 4cm strips of bacon in them. and that's all. MY GOODNESS I CAN COOK BETTER THAN THAT !!! please.... for £7.50 i can make TONS of carbonara. diu.. environment was noisy . worse than being in a club. at least in a club we have to shout over music. but THIS .. i have to shout to be heard by my friend who sits like less than 1 feet away from me. Tables and chairs were cramped and it feels li...

Safeways.. now lovingly called morrisons. it was changed on the 20th Oct. 2005. i think. anyways, tried it last nite.. somehow it does not really taste nice with the mash.. ahh i forgot to take a picture of the mash i bought. that's tomorrow then. it smells weird.. don't understand why soups in can smells weird.. lol it's not expired. no. anyways, my ulcer is 70% recovered. i'm going to rome as well. after hearing from kuzco that he's going .. and then i also si buey sien lor.. dun wanna lose out then i remembered some parts of this song.. my name is Kiasu King, my shoes are branded bally, my shirt is calvin krein, my jeans is moshi shino, and my underwear one kind... oo i'm a kiasu king.. but jokes aside. didnt know why i picked rome. just didnt wanna live in europe for a few years and not go anywhere.. so since rome came to mind.. i asked my flatmate if he wanna go. he says okay. so booked tickets. so there we go. lotsa travelling these next few months i thin...

damn the ulcers.. just because i ate a wee bit too much chilli... next day kenak ulcer. ulcer not bad also .. but bloody hell.. under the tongue.. that bastard had to go under the tongue. so when i move my tongue or try to eat or even freaking try to open my mouth .. kenot open la... mahai diu.. now i think this affects my writing as well.. cos even as i speak it's trying to make me feel the pain. top it up all i get this damn migraine. i never had migraine in london b4.. grumbles. i attribute this to work stress, damn chillies, and not enough sleep cos too much anime. did i say i bought 100pcs of blank printable DVDs. ritek G05 dye. burnt 24 1 spoilt. £25 for all of them. on saturday. sien. and i'm only halfway done with the briochettes. crap. totally not a half assed good week. i wanna go home. uwaaa.. i don't bloody need this. hahahaha... *patience my child.. it's a virtue* virtue my arse... die die also have to be patient.. arghh... i have only VICES. no virtues.

right.. i wondered if i said that bulldog picks up the phone more often than not compared to a few months back. BUT .. there's a big but.. they transfered me from one department to another department. reason being ? i was told when i signed up for that package i was only supposed to pay up to 29.50 a month. when the freaking bill came.. i'm stuck with 52.01 a month. WTF ... u tell me.. then i called bulldog customer service yesterday. right they told me that i should get the name of the guy who sold me the package. right. today i called them up. they say they didnt need the name of the guy. but they'll give me at the price of 29.50. that guy was shawn/shaun or however u spell ur name. right. he told me to wait 5 mins to call the billing department. the girl answered. told me they can't do anything to the bill. asked me to call the customer service department. she transfered me to a guy called clive. and poor guy had to take the brunt of my frustration. damn.. in the en...

this is weird.. i dreamt of a cat and a lost GPS navigator. the cat was tiger striped with it's claws dulled. the gps was lost under someone's bed. the cat was a mini sized one. ( i never had a mini sized cat. all my cats were larger than the normal asian standards) weirder and weirder. for the past 2 nites i've been waking up at 3:12 am . each nite. thats besides the point anyways, today this morning rather was a bright and sunny and clear day. wind was colder than usual. oh yeah.. bulldog gave me a callback after i said i wanna cancel. and then they said they'd give me 2 months free if i dont cancel. hmmm thought for a bit, said okays. if it's 2 months free.. well it's like £30 per month. i saved about £60. i guess. well just see how long i'm gonna be living in that place. now i must get more blank dvd+r medias. geez... weekend computer media shopping yippeee.. damn .. must stop going to morrisons.. the subliminal msg is getting to me.
