Living in London

right look at that cake and tell me that i'm not gonna be able to stop putting on weight.. :P 94p from morrisons. which is actually half price which also explains why i bought it. tastes okay. nothing much to brag about. i still think the cheesecake that I make tastes much better. :P that one is dr. mash. 1. pour hot water in a bowl first. 2. pour the contents into the bowl. Note: NEVER EVER do the other way around.. cos it doesnt really work :P i tried. tastes not as rich as if i would have used milk. i think i bought them for 50p for 2.. or something like that i can't remmeber it was a while back and when i checked that it was best b4 december, i had to eat it anyways. bah humbugs. at it with some minced beef *drool* that concludes my last post of the year. have a happy new year to myself.. may ur years be remembered as the second best year of my life cos the best year is yet to come.. so it's always the second best year ? :P i never understood how it is always the best...

Bought the loaf from sainsbury. at the price of i think 29p ? it was last day .. and i was just bored. so bought it and tried it out. just like some pizza bread la.. nothing special. i ate it with ham. mind u this bread bought a few days back. i just managed to get the picture out from the fone. it was spicy when i bit on the pepper part of it. other than that, it was oily, yummy can be eaten on it's own. but i wouldnt go buying it again unless it's marked down lor. hehe oh yah an update on the post Snoreeze http://living-in-the-uk.blogspot.com/2005/11/its-just-one-of-those-days-snoreeze.html bought them from boots at the price of £12.99 for one. but it was on sale where u buy 3 for 2 so i got 3 of them for the price of 2. which works out to be £8.66 fpr one. it's not a bad deal. besides.. its not for me. i had to send it back to msia for a friend which cost me another £5.32 for postage. which is registered parcel which require a signature kua. anyways, sent it on the 24th...

hmm bought a pair of grey GAP jeans for 9.99. a black turtleneck from esprit for 14.99. wanted to get some more fcuk t shirts.. but none to tickle my fancy. i'm going to bicester on the 2nd. next year. will plan to spend some money there. 1. i want a tag. or some nice watch. but if tag affordable i'll get one. 2. need a new pair of timberlands. mine's still okay but it don't look that good anymore. 3. want a samsonite carrying bag. 4. if there's cheap leather jackets. 5. more bedspreads 6. and more t shirts. train will go from marylebone to bicester north. then bus from there to village. hopefully it's worth going there for. will need more money soon.

i arrived in london about a year and half ago. i forget the first half of the year. can't remember much. :P but for the year of 2005, i do remember those interesting people i've met along the way. 1. a norwegian guy who introduced me to hattrick. his enthusiasm for the game never fails to amaze me. as well as his love for everton. 2. a few spanish girls who taught me some bad spanish words. funny. but they were okay. learning english. 3. some funny polish girls as well. dirty. don't wash up after eating. 4. 1 smelly italian guy. never really seen him alot but when i do.. he stinks cos i think he never washes his stuffs. 5. 1 weird indian. really weird. when drinking he doenst know how to stop. i was this close in dunking him in some toilet bowl. 6. 1 stubborn russian. don't understand why he can't do it the usual way. always looking for a way out. bah humbugs. 7. a few british guys. they are not too bad. 8. 1 chinese dude from china. - why oh why can't he be mor...

it didnt snow at christmas. while the bookies said it was a 25% chance that it was gonna snow. i personally didnt see any snow till yesterday. at 12 noon when i woke up, woot. it snowed. i didnt see any of it falling. when i woke up it already stopped. maybe letsay about 1 cm of snow ? or maybe less. it was the same today as well. there was still snow on the roads. cycling was hard work after a week of not cycling to work. it was hard to breath. heh. its always good to come back with some pictures. got those muffins off sainsbury's at 10p. it was expiring. thats why i say if u don't really care what you eat, it's not easy to starve in london. hehe. besides its a good way of trying out what bread they do have. but of course sometimes I do get the bad ones.. the toilet is where i have to sit for a few times.. :P i thought it was gonna be an easy day at work today .. but it seems i was wrong. so it's back to work ..

okies. got these from my aunt a few weeks back. it was wrapped up nicely. eaten one of them . it was chocolaty and really okies until the liquer kicks in. on a side note.. i'm am still goddamn upset with the stupid guy. it seems that i have a lot of angst in me. dunno whether is it because i care about the problem too much or i just am too low esteemed to feel that everything is pointing at me. hahahha damn prasanfied.. anyways. it's christmas and it's the last few days of work b4 next year. new year resolution. #1 CALM DOWN... :P

title says it all.. £(!&$£(!%)(!%+_)%+_!)£$+£*$(_!*£&(_%&!*$%&!£$(_%*!&"£$_123 here's some pictures that to prove that canary wharf is mad... i've been there and these ppl ARE mad... right since i really got nothing to say since it's so close to christmas .. and pay is coming out early this year.. so yippee i get to go to the boxing day sale.. few more pictures of canary wharf area. if u look closer at the bottom picture there's an OWL there... why can't they put nude status of monroe or some other girls instead of a crazy owl.. bah humbugs. right this is the citicorp building which i swear the first thing i'm gonna do when i reach msia i'm gonna go over to get them to cancel my card.. i can't remember why i can't cancel it here... the next picture is the picture of the station which sits right below the building or something. hehe. last but not least picture of the london docklands DLR. it's a pretty sight. and finally a...

Right i'm still sick. but i guess to sum it all up if u need information on rome. go to www.romebuddy.com . it basically tells all what u need to know. note: most ppl are dressed in black and they dont speak english. gelaterias are a dime a dozen which cost about 2 euros each pop. paninis by the roadside hawkers are best budgeted about 3.50 euros min. basically, i can say i've been there. done that. etc entrance to coloseum = 10 euros vatican museum = 12 euros but 8 for students lemme see what else did i pay to go in to see.. i saw the 1. pantheon 2. trevi fountain - my main objective. 3. vatican city church. 4. the bocca della verita weird stone thingy with the face. 5. saw lotsa lotsa ruins. damn THEY ARE BIG !!! the ruins i mean. 6. saw a 5'8" german beauty with blond shoulder length hair, green eyes and the nicest smile u've ever seen. :P couldnt be more than 21 i think. she was with her parents. her father was like 6'3" at least. mom was dressed up i...

crap.. i hate it when the holidays are cramped with rushing to see all the sights and stuffs ... note to self: NEVER EVER GO ON HOLIDAY WITH THAT FLER AGAIN. mahai.. it's worse than going on a holiday with a girl. i'm seriously beginning to think that fler is a bit sot sot. okok.. now i'm still cold.. hope i can manage to get up to work tomorrow.

bought them in morrisons for 65p. it was a buy one free one thingy. but like all stuffs that comes in packages, they are not really good unless they are fresh. the outer part of the cake stuck to the packaging. the cake itself was full of holes.. erm.. i tihnk too much baking powder ? cos it tasted like i was eating air and sugar. or wassit cos it was a sponge cake. ? anyways, wouldnt buy it again. that's all for today. busy day ahead again.. horrible.. i hope it's gonna be better next week.

mushrooms - £1.98 dried prawns 500g = £6.50 Shanghai noodle = 75p kikkoman sauce 1.25 litre = 3.50 pearl river soy sauce - 68p i think nori seaweed - 1.48 mixed curry powder 1.45 anchovies - 43p chinese seaweed - 50p ?? not sure.. can't remember lo han kor - 1.10 this was on sat. sunday was just stuck in the house doing nothing but watching anime. total bliss at the moment. it'll only be pictures. crap. today, i'm so busy till it's like having fire ants biting up my arse. oh yeah.. my aunt made me blackberry jam.

1 bus ride to finsbury park finsbury park to victoria station victoria station to waterloo via embankment waterloo to canary wharf DLR canary wharf to crossharbour - isle of dogs ASDA bus D3 then bus D7 back to canary wharf. canary wharf to willesden green bus 266 from willesden green to cricklewood wing yip chinese superstore. bus 32 from cricklewood to kilburn. kilburn tube to finchley road, switched to metropolitan towards euston square. euston station - bus 253 home. whataday.... note: i think the best asda is still in park royal. i've been to so many asda. none as nice as that in park royal. leseee... walthamstow - er.. in a shopping complex ? leyton. wah lau.. damn far to walk by bus..

right, a holiday is always good. top it up with good food. well..i went to this restaurant called bodean's BBQ. click Bodean's BBQ to go. anyways, i was to shy to take pictures cos i went with a group that i didnt know that well hahaha. it was my friend's farewell. back to the food. spare ribs. YUM !! alright. i think this is one place i'd not say it was expensive though i think it is. an average spare rib cost about £15.75 and a drink cost about £3 i think. worth it. in the restaurant, they had few long tables like those in the canteen, and then we ordered and waited for our numbers to be called to go get our food. plasma teevees on each side showing 2 different sports channels american sports that is. nice environment. the ppl who worked there was quite friendly i think. oh yes. deserts take VERY LONG TO ARRIVE. my friend ordered a cheesecake, it took them like 20-30 mins to get it to him. then we adjourned to Zebrano bar. hmm first time in a bar ? i can't remem...

like the title, i find it a little bit interesting that they eat rice puddings. it just does not taste right. it's like me boiling my rice and eating it with condensed milk. oh well. one's customs are never the same. i've tried it. it was served with nutmeg shavings and some jam. as well as it warmed up in the microwave. i think if it was eaten a bit cold it wouldn't have tasted so much like the rice i am used to eating. anyways, like i said, it's an interesting way of eating rice. heh. nope. i wouldnt eat it again unless something really made me hungry. bleh. i rather have chocolate fudge cakes, ice creams, or other type of puddings instead of rice for desert. must understand i am a person who eat rice as a staple food. :P

hahah cookies !! i'm a sucker for cookies now. i think that attributes to my weight.. but then it's winter.. blame it all on winter. i'm storing fats in order for me to go in hibernation. so if u see me and say i'm fat.. that's not very politically correct. it's just that i'm WINTER-SIZED. muahahhahaha well i finished that choc fudge crunch in one sitting all within half hour. heheh. didnt taste much of the chocolate though.. maybe my tastebuds are gone. but the most of the taste was in the crunch itself. the cream just made it easier to swallow. well.. i'm off to visit asda tomorrow. hopefully asda will have something for me. haven't gone to visit asda for quite a while. i'm sure she misses me. oh yeah .. i met her cousin asda back in gravesend. it just wasn't the same. i couldn't take her. sigh.. so i've decided on my day off, i'm going. p/s was busy busy busy. monday is gonna be busy busy busy again.. crap.. tuesday too. when i...
