KFC for lunch today. when walking past the science thingy.. they usually have a free stress test. but this time.. the girl was bold. went straight up and said. stop. u HAVE to come in. lol. we just walked past ignoring her. but u gotta give it to her, she was assertive. bloody cold in the morning today. foggy all the way. but lucky the wind wasnt too strong. so not THAT cold. it was 0 degrees. in the bbc website. tonite will be the same. bah. that's all for today. dunno what to type.. o

i confirmed it. a waify +gentle + soft voice.. kills me. i've always wanted to find out what the heck was that kind of sound was called. now i found out. anyways, that's another part of it. i went shopping in bicester on sat. bought 1 fcuk long sleeve tshirt. 1 polo RLX ski turtleneck 2 timberland boots ( finally found the ones i liked. that's why i bought 2) brown and black. 1 oneida chef's knife. woot. damn sharp.. cooking in the kitchen has never been more fun. lol and some food from uppercrust in marylebone station. and starbucks. burned a hole in my pocket. though it's not as much as i spent the last time.. but still.. scary.. dun ever wanna go shopping again lol about a new mode of watching animes. demux the mp3 from the avi. then put in ipod. this way i only hear japanese when i'm at work.. lol die.. lol. friend is over from msia . will have dinner with her and her bf. see how and what time.. didnt have lunch today cos i ate the curry for breakfast. shor

Assassin - blends into the crowd.

i think i can be an assassin. last nite a few black guys came up to me and said 'cuse me. u philipines ? [my colleague heard me say FULL OF BEANS... ] hmm sounds like them lol i said.. WTF ??? they walked off. it's the same incident when others came up to me and mentioned i wasn't chinese or some other thing. note that i'm not upset. i'm delighted. i shall keep count of what those funky westerners.foreigners who's never been out of the country think of me as next. that aside, i had the £1 lasagna from iceland. and a leftover burger for dinner last nite. more weird dreams.. i dream i took on a few guys like in the matrix just like that cos they dun wanna leave me alone in the bar. and then i dreamt somebody came to my place and stole all my belongings. geeez... is that a bad nite or what.. this morning, was lazy to cook so i brought fig biscuits. *after a few hours* drat.. money spent again. this time on hamburger union. £8.90 i think.. can't remember. monte

milkshake and cows.

brought 3 burgers to work today. ate one for breakfast. was thinking of saving a little by not going out for lunch. but then again.. when the time came, office felt like it was a blackhole sucking the life out of me. so decided to go with colleagues to eat. 3 choices, greggs, chip shop, KFC. which KFC was out of the question (cos me and another guy had KFC last nite) and nobody felt like greggs, so walked to the chip shop. the line was WAAAAAY long. then talked about BK. burgerking. right. upon reaching BK, there was a sign ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH ? beside the picture of the large whopper meal. or something. but i was thinking that i still have 2 burgers so i decided against it. i took the 4 chicken strips. well as least it was REAL chicken.. not processed stuffs. i think. not sure. where does the milkshake and cows come in ? hmm that's the weird part. cos one of my colleagues was drinking milkshake and he ws saying that milkshake, u just feed the cow chocolate and u make the cow jump u

the difference between cheap burger patties and regular ones

cheap ones.. they harden up once it gets cold. regular ones.. they stay nice and juicy after a few hours. anyways, that's because i've always been buying cheap burgers from iceland, morrisons, asda, tesco etc etc. then morrisons had a buy 2 for something pounds.. i can't remmeber.. so i thought i'd give it a try. it was some ross burgers 12pc. click here for image if image is gone, it means dalepak who does ross burgers moved the images location. just go to www.dalepak.co.uk to look for it. bah humbugs. dun wanna hot link it just in case they say it's some violation of some stuffs etc. amazingly, just now i ate both of them. 2 burgers i made them in the morning. 10 mins to fry up the burgers + eggs. 5 mins to toast the buns and spread them with insane amounts of mayonaise and ketchup. *droool* to make my point, i'm not gonna buy cheap burgers anymore. lol. and one more thing.. i felt so bored during lunch time so i took a walk to the new office where we were sup

10 tequilas, 4 cocktails, 3 sambuckas, 1 b-52 later

Thursday nite. puked immediately after i got home.. all those wasted finger food. lol. cleaned the toilet while i was really drunk.(puked everywhere) just wanted to close my eyes and sleep. washed up. changed. fell into bed. slept. woke up next morning. felt a little okays until i decided to eat. boiled 4 eggs. wanted halfboil so it was easy to digest. but it turned out i put the timer on too long on the steamer. it became hard boiled. so i had 3 eggs + some sambal i made. took a bus to work . reached work.. tummy didnt feel too well. i guess those eggs + sambal didnt do anything to appease my hunger. i bought a can of coke. drank it. an hour later.. went to the washroom and puked again. lol and then half hour later and AGAIN... $£"^%"$&^"$ anyways, after that .. didnt eat or drink anything until lunch.. seems that it was okays after lunch. so i left it. and then after work, went for a quick beer, found that i couldnt finish and i didnt feel really well. so drank 1/4

no topic. christmas ?

worked late. nasi lemak again today. but now i'm hungry. it's 7.30pm and i'm still not back. i'm thankful that it's not raining now. it started raining this morning just when i was aobut 1km away from the office. and the worse thing is that the gower st. road JAMMED.. die... anyways, walked in the office soaked. and glad to see that i wasnt the only one that was soaked. oh yeah.. it's no use carrying umbrellas this morning as all the umbrellas were blown the other way around. the wind speed as given by BBC was 17mph. that's bloody strong wind. anyways, i almost got blown off . lucky i wasnt on my bike. right, next thing is that er... dunno what else is special. when i emailed my dad about the christmas party and about the drinking. he didnt seem too please about it. lol saying do u drink as if he has the right to tell me what to do with my life now after all the years. anyways, one thing is that he did support us monetarily. so i guess that's alright. bu

nasi lemak

i made it. sambal recipe from a friend back in msia. she got her mom to tell her and she gave it to me. i tried it last nte. it was supposed to be grinded. but i didnt have a food processor. so it means that this it's shopping time again. color didnt look right. but after it cooled down it looked okays. same goes for the taste. anyways, that's it for today. thursday - drank too much friday - drank too much sat. slept in.. didnt go to the park as planned. sun went shopping to chinatown for the ingredients for sambal. bought some taucu for daging masak taucu. and some chilli fermented bean curd to be eaten with porridge. spent a little too much on the card. die.. anyways, cleaned part of my room yesterday. so it looks alright time to think of dinner tonite.. fried vege. - i still have a lot of it. and then i dunno what else.. i can steam the carrots. hmmm i can cook spaghetti. but i have a big bowl of sambal in the fridge. but i can't just be eating nasi lemak every meal can

a girl was locked out of her house last nite.

the door bell rang, and i was in the middle of getting in my track pants to get ready to go to the kitchen to see if my food was ready. out standing in the cold, was a girl with a pram. she was asking for help. she wanted me to .... help her open the door for her so she could go in her house. i went in my room, got my key. so i wouldnt get locked out of my house. so i walked over to her flat. so tried opening it .. it had 2 locks. one was those normal key types and the other was the older type of key where it had a keyhole that u can see through. well, cut the long story short, she forgot to open the top lock that's why she couldnt open her door. and then she couldnt take the key out of her door. haha. funny. anyways, she said to leave it there. so i left her to do her own stuffs. then when my food was cooked. i was planning to WoW. after i washed the dishes. was talking to flatmate about going to bicester again this year after boxing day. kk. that's done. then i was washing my

school daze.working.knights.totally.out.

i was watching bokura ga ita last nite. i didnt wow cos i felt really sick of wow after so many hours straight of it. anyways, was watching black blood brothers, and then tsubasa chronicles, and then finally bokura. the final one was the one that got to me.. i just miss it.. it reminded me of my school days. i wanna go back. lol i'm too old to be in school. so bah all i can do is watch those animes that remind me somewhat of school. reminded me of how having school friends used to be like. and then as if by magic, last nite i dreamt about school reunion. and they were mentioning about how good i look. HAHAHHAHAHAH anyways, that's beside the point. right, next a few quotes from me: 1. why do ppl create such scary games in reference to doom/WoW/elder scrolls? cos ppl like the adrenaline rush.. for the same reason humans have affairs, or steal, or kill or do whatever evil things that makes them feel alive.. lol 2. ever since i got out of the hospital, i felt like the toilet's

white,blue,brown,red wings. flight commander

i went to the one tun again on friday. all i remembered was 1 beer, 2 tequilas and my eyes burning red. :P what's this about the wings ? i swear i was half sober when i heard that. i asked a guy to explain to me what it was. those wings were like the trophies u get from sleeping with girls. white - virgin brown - anal blue - underwater?/sea? red - period and then the most interesting one was flight commander. when u have 3 of them in one nite. lol. i can't believe they do talk about that. anyways, maybe i havent been out often. so never mind. how's that for interesting conversation. right. talk about an unproductive weekend. spent like at least 28 hours on WoW.. i am DOOMED.. i'm bloody addicted to WoW. i need to quit. hi my name is , i'm a WoW-holic. ugh.. i can just imagine that. oh yeah .. did i just say hsbc gave me a gold card ? i dun even earn enough to pay a gold card.. and they gave me one.. die die die.. hope the swiping hobby stays away. next one is that,

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

the hope.bar.pub.lunchroom

went to this pub for lunch. was contemplating on whether to eat KFC or greggs, or subway or anything else. went to kfc, was packed and no place to sit. we went to the pub around the corner. had jumbo haddock and chips and peas. and a pint of coke. my backbone still hurts a little. but my thighs no more. i cycled to work today. weather was really windy and cold. bah humbugs. the right side of my leg hurts.. somewhere below my tummy .. maybe it's my appendix.. or kidney.. hmmm never mind. still alive. one of my bosses borrowed my bike. hope he's okay with it. hehe. nothing else to report. last nite had maggi. didnt finish it cos i got ulcers.. can't open my mouth to swear. must be a good sign.. since i can't open my mouth.. telling me to swear less. lol on the other hand, i've gotta find a date to get the blond to go to the gardens with me. and i found out my photography of humans weren't as good as i thought it was. so i'm so dissatisfied. or wassit unsatisfi

eclairs.normandy.france

finally i have a few photos to post up. to see that i havent been posting any photos since way back. right, i've heard my colleague rave about the eclairs in france. so i went ahead to buy one. 2.60 euros for one it was filled with chocolate or soemthing.. didnt really taste like chocolate but it was RICH. next is the photo of the place we stayed in. the sunterra resorts thingy done in by some timeshare stuffs. not sure about the details as it was my sister's (family) planning and expense. :P rants. it was 8.10 euros to get from gare du nord to charles de gaulle airport using the metro. WTF... okok. maybe i thought it was 4 euros or 2 euros liddat.. that's why that freaked me out. i mean .. who pays so much to get the metro to the airport anyways. ugh.. i had to go to the airport cos we're suppoosed to meet up with my sister and daughter there. not speaking french doesnt really help when all i could say is parlez vouz anglais? lol. anyways, i definitely will learn anoth

came back from france. paris. normandy.

had a few good photos. tried to take photos of my niece. looks alright. i hope that looks more like a pro shot than a normal shoot. but then again it's all up to the viewer's opinion. france was good for sat. and sun. monday was pissy rain. went to eiffel tower. 1st floor only cos i'm afraid of heights. spent a few good days with my sister and her family. her husband came a day late cos of flight thingys. had my first experience with a tom tom. got us out of the airport and to the destination with little or no problem at all. then the tom tom went haywire the next day. came back on monday nite. eurostar had delays cos it sort of failed the pre departure tests. but it left after 45 mins. took the usual bus 29 home. aunt had to put up with me for a nite cos her hubby said it was too late for her to go home alone. so it was the couch for me again.. on the way back, there was a cute girl in the bus. my aunt said she kept staring at me. or in better words.. kept checking me out.

one TUN ... bar.

okies.. last nite i worked till 230am. reached home 3. slept 330am. woke up at 915. got to work at 1030 am this morning. ate spicy pork from samurai again. when i reached home i was hungry and tired.. lazy to cook. so ate a whole tin of pringles. and a can of coke. wooo hoo.. today after work, went to the bar. walked with a girl from work. was drizzling. didnt like umbrellas so didnt share one with her. she said i had dark blue eyes. she's gotta be kidding. i'm pure asian and i have brown eyes. anyways, it was the way the light reflected in that bar. or maybe she was just trying to be nice to me cos i bought her a drink. lol. chatted at the bar with colleagues. then another girl said she wanted to go home and it was on the way.. since it was late and i need to get home as well, i havent packed for my trip yet. walked towards warren st. took my bus there. incidently, i think we got along pretty well. and incidentally as well, she was a blue eyed blonde. lol. jokes aside, a sligh

bus pass error and charity shops

nothing much to do with buses. but today i took the bus. i swiped once. then another and then another. so in total i took 3 buses down to work today. sides, it was raining. ok. here's the bugger. i forgot that i only took 3 buses today. cos i was adamant that i was overcharged by tfl. cos they were supposed to cap it at £3 a day for oyster card. so i have no ideas what caused me to think that i was overcharged. i kept thinking that i took 4 buses. so i was supposedly in my mind charged 1, 0.80, then 0.80, 0.80. so that totals up to £3.40. i think i must have been dreaming. cos when i went to the station to check my journey record, it showed that i did 3 buses. ugh.. i made a fool out of myself by going up to the counter in goodge st to ask the guy working there. omg.. imagine my embarrassment. anyways. i didnt shout or throw a fit or anything. it was just so unimaginably wrong. i am slippin. is this the sign of me getting too old for my age. okies. that sorted. i took the bus today

another late night with KFC goodge st station

hmm it just had to happen. when i cycle, i work late. i seem to be seeing a trend here. not good. does it mean that i can't cycle to work? anyways, took the bus home (left my bike at work)cos it was late last nite and i had dinner quite late. dinner was the fully loaded meal of KFC which costs about £3.99. lets hope tonite is not a late nite. late nite last nite wasnt too hard to handle as WoW server's gone down till tonite. so it would mean that i've no WoW tonite as well. hmm which reminds me i need to buy stuffs from virgin.tesco.hmv? lemme go after work. last nite i dreamt of kelly. no idea who that was as well as i've never seen her irl. but she was pretty lol. and dreamt of a bunch of friends who wanted to cut my hair with a razor and those see saw scissors. which actually makes some sense as i need to cut my hair soon. oh and note. i switched the fridge plug to a wall mains.. and it still was working when i left it this morning. touch wood. lets hope it's sti

overslept and too comfortable.

time shown half 8. i was still comfortable. i pressed the snooze button. i slept peacefully. then i realized that my snooze button never rang. saw the time.. quarter to 10. OMG.. crap.. i'm late.. literally jumped out of my bed. jeans. wash face, brush teeth, wet hair. shirt. then packed. late means bicycle. there's no way i can get to work within 45 mins if i take the bus. so i took my bike. geez.. wheeled the bike out.. downstairs already .. then i realized i forgot my medicine. $^$"£%. went back up. got the medicine. time was 1010am. came out again.. cycled like mad.. eyes were watering due to the cold air. nose was running as well. trying to cycle to catch up with them. finally reached office at 1030. locked the bike. now i'm dreading the ride home as i dun like cycling lol. but i prefer it to taking the bus. right.. that's it for today. cough is almost gone. slept like a baby last nite.. still clearing last of cough phlegm. but should be fine by tomorrow. hmm

another 45 hours.. or somewhat ..

and all i wanted was a jab or something to help me sleep at nite. i walked to the NHS walk-in clinic. they directed me to the hospital. i went to the hospital shortly b4 work was finished. wheeled my bike there. locked it.. that was all i remembered. reliving the ordeal- 1. walked in to the A&E. told them i was coughing blood and the receptionist gave me a mask that looked like a duck bill. and requested that i put it on immediately. 2. they guided me into the other waiting room. 3. waited for a nurse to check me. BP and all. 4. went to a cubicle and waited for a few hours in there b4 i heard the dreaded u're not going home today. had ECG of my heart. 5. saw a few mixture of doctors. 1 final year med student. 2 male docs. and a female ID doc. 6. got a few needles poked in me. ( something left for the IV drip) 7. they took like at least 6 bottles of blood from me. ( well, tubes maybe) 8. got wheeled up the ward to my private room (even had a ensuite) just like on tv. they even h

straying away from life in the uk.

i know i've been straying away from mentioning about how i live. haha. not just memories of bygones. like they say , let bygones be bygones. i woke up REAL sleepy today. wanted to call in sick but decided against it.. thought the cycling would do me good. went to work. then popped by the walk in clinic** around soho square during lunch time to check out my cough. they were real nice. but they couldnt help me. cos i think cos i said i was coughing blood. lol clumps of blood. so i need to go see the doctor. as all the walk in clinics, don't have the facility or the personnel to deal with a little major stuff. they do minor stuffs.etc etc. anyways, the nurse was nice. should i call her a health personnel to be more PC? she asked me a few questions. which i could have done so. well, cos i got some information about my coughing from the internet b4 i went and basically what she told me was what i found out on the net. but best not to do self diagnosis as all the smart-asses die fast

90s music and baseball fashion

i've been listening to mandarin/cantonese songs for the past few days. and not to say that songs are not good. but they do sound very nice. especially er.. i can't remember who sang what.. cos i don't read chinese.. hell, i don't even really understand half of what the songs are about. but i think it's basically like that for me. it goes in one ear and out the other. like water off a duck's back. BUT.. when i listen to a few songs long enough, the next time i hear any part of it, i can distinctly remember about the memory associated with the time i was playing that song over and over again. like for instance, Mr. boombastic.. by shaggy .. lol each time i hear that, i remember about the high school days. man... i can't believe i did those things.. HAHAHHAHA so today i switched to those MAX HIT albums that came out in the 90s... bwhahahahhahah i feel old.. grumbles. hmm some other ones.. lemme see summer kisses winter tears ?? my parent's generation's

of voices and shortage of brown rice

while i'm still at this subject of auditory senses, i will be a little weird and name both male and female voices i like. male - cos it's just natural to look at both sides of the coin. female - it's obvious that i have to , if i don't like them.. i might think i like males better.. ugh.. can't imagine that. dun wanna imagine it. lets start of by the male voice. so far, i've heard the coolest, most macho voice, most man voice, the alpha male thingy .. etc etc.. fill in here for all ur ultimates IS ... Maximus Decimus Meridius - played by Russell Crowe. "My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius...Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I well have my vengeance; in this life or the next." his voice in that film or another.. it has a distinctive twang or roughness to it that just commands power. lol . alright.. it's a show.. it's supposed to be like that. but i suspect my voice sounds like that after coughing for a week, plus nose blo

of red patterned scottish shirt and messy room

today was bad. woke up at 5 coughing like mad.. should have touched wood when my colleague said wait till u cough in the night and u can't sleep. $£%$" that was just what happened this morning.. ugh.. i swore i was trying to kill myself by knocking myself on the wall. sides it was cold. my throat feels like someone came into the room and deepthroat-ed me. ugh.. fish.. duck...but seriously. throat is THAT bad. need to get that electric blanket that once was, but now gone from argos again. and coupled it up with some new DVD from maplins. they are having the same sale for Verbatim for £19.99. must be excess stock i think. will go down to buy it. note about microsoft's wireless keyboard. i bought it a few months back i think it was the desktop 1000. i have a grievance against that keyboard and mouse.. every time i WoW.. that wanker of a mouse keeps making me pop out of the WoW screen thus spoiling my gameplay for a few secs. what if i was fighitng in a life and death situatio

of instant noodles and blocked ears..

i think i know my cough is going away now.. soon.. cos it doesnt seem to be as bad as before. but the funny thing is that my ears now can't pop. it's like being in an airplane and the pressure did something to the ear and i can't hear properly. not that i use my ears alot. like, there's a lot of things i don't wanna hear. lol well, it's all good. so long i don't get hot and bothered about it.. in fact, i'm not bothered by it at all. i took the bus again today. it always is the case.. when i'm well enough to cycle, the weather turns shitty. and if i take the bus, the weather is great and shiny. ( it figures..) bah humbugs. ( basically i like moaning.complaining.murmuring about weird stuffs) last nite had a weird dream about a count.oldman.weirdperson who was an assassin running away with the gold he got from the caverns. must be too much of WoW. well, at least it gives me something to do. the heating is on now everyday. i have a love-hate relationshi

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

of long acre, covent garden,wetherspoon victoria station

saturday was a day out for me again. friday nite slept at half 2. which i suspect was a serious mistake cos i had to wake up at half 5 to get to victoria station to meet up with the group who was supposed to be there at quarter to 7. finished out of town business at about 4 pm. saw some REAL trainspotters in clapham junction's train station(complete with notepads and stuffs). drank a 1664, and then a tequila. then till half 7 (this was in wetherspoon victoria station). took the tube to covent garden there we drank again. i got a corona ( seriously didnt like that taste.) got a bit light and heady. kept snapping photos but didnt know what i was doing. ate some nachos, fries with mayo and ketchup. yum. then i really had to go.. b4 i went i bought like 8 shots of tequila from the bar. drank it down. went home with a big bloody headache. btw, the long acre had lousy tequila service. the lemons they gave was in form of a slice. SLICE.. ugh.. other pubs i've been to, they gave in for

of tesco points and hainanese chicken rice.

i've always wondered what those tesco points were for. up till now i still havent gotten anything out of those tesco points that i accumulated from tesco. in fact, i think nectar is much better. at least with nectar points, i redeemed one measly movie ticket which was worth £8. the reason i thought about the tesco points is because i have the key fob to my bunch of keys which consists of my room key, house key, and bike key. so okies. enough boring tesco aside though it does sell cheap luncheon meat. 34p. i think i have a craving for chicken rice. i realized that i haven't had chicken rice in like 5 months. hmm will cook it this weekend depending if i got time. i got the recipe here. world wide gourmet . oh yeah .. speaking chicken rice. i have this bad habit that i buy meat, leave it for a week then cook it.. then buy another pack of meat .. leave it.. then cook it.. somehow my meat is always like 1 week old + whatever months the stores stored it. i'm so glad again it'

of Gas-masks and tom-yams.

basically, i have had it with toilets with no ventilation. u see our toilets in the office building is just separated by a thin wall of fibreboard or whatchumacallit board. and in autumn or winter or spring when it's REALLY cold, nobody opens the window to ventilate the small forsaken place they call the gents. i SWEAR u have to wear a gas mask when that happens. i do my business at home unless i can't help it ( if i eat too much chilli the nite b4) then i'll be spending my valuable time trying to promote the use of gas-masks in the washroom. so the point being is that, if i ever open the gents when 2 of the cubicles are closed.. i run the hell out of there. i'd rethink my position and then retreat and regroup. instead of waiting in line to do some battleship bombing. ugh.. right.. that's one case. another case is that i bought the frozen cod fish thingy from morrisons for about 2.19 for 650g. hmm not sure if that's cheap or not but hmmm anyways, i bought it cos

updates.wow.lazy.sien.

noting that the fact i haven't written anything useful.memorable.notable in the last weeks or so. this is because i've been overwhelmed with the fact that i've been WoW-ing every single minute i can. slotting in a few hours here and there to cook.wash.clean as well as watch some of my animes. i'd say the main thing of my life now is WoW which apparently is VERY BAD for health. One of my colleague's gf said, OH NO!!!.. u CANNOT play WoW.. please say u won't do it.. u know why ?? she said.. YOU'll NEVER GET LAID... -_-' and also.. she said she was suprised i still had a job. lol but i just started playing it a few weeks ago. i'm now a level 28 rogue. <-- note that the spelling of rogue is not rouge. anyways. enough about WoW. my photos were received some nicely some not nicely this weekend is going down to warehouse again. as well as in the evening will have a halloween party in covent garden. as well as the time is gonna change on sunday.so we'

my album of autumn october 06

right, following the feedbacks from ppl i know.. they all say it's ok. so i thought i'd just put a link in here for the album i created in pdf format when i visited kew gardens. compiled by me picking some of the photos which i think is ok. so i'm leaving it up here whoever who wants to download it to view. as usual i've watermarked those images. click here for the album if hyperlinks does not work, try this http://dl3.ohshare.com/v/6371455/Autumn06.pdf.html anyways, it's only gonna be there for 30 days. once seen, please leave feedback in the comment box.. it's only fair i get feedbacks :P why an album? 1. because having an album seems classier than sticking it on a webpage/pps/word document. etc etc. 2. because i thought if other ppl can produce a photo album, i might as well do it.. as i never actually look through the compilation of photos that i have. 3. i have a moderately expensive/good/usable cam. might as well use it for something that ppl can view. 4.

sunday's adventure.

I went to Kew Gardens to catch the autumn colours.

I thought i needed to do soemthing.. and it seems that UK is quite famous for its gardens as well. also i wanted to see the colours of gold in fall. but then i was suprised when i went there not all of them were golden yet. Some maples and some hickory were changing colours. (frankly speaking i didnt know which tree is which except for the maple ones... and i STILL don't know about which tree looks like what.) well i suppose it's a start. the kew gardens have a website which is http://www.kew.org . note: lotsa old ppl, a few families. i spent 2 and half hours in there.. cos i didnt know what to do in a garden. i brought my own food. and bought coke from the nearby store. enjoyed myself. hehe. there were lotsa ducks. and i saw the mandarin duck. or at least i think it's the mandarin duck. oh yeah.. i had trouble cos i forgot my bank details as i needed it to become a premier friend of kew. ( membership thingy) i think all in all , £40 for the annual fee, i spent £5 for the t

playing WoW US servers from europe.

grrr.. that gave me a big headache. i had my sister buy the US pack, gave me the code. couldn't upgrade it in UK. had to get her to upgrade for me. geeez.. the trouble i hvae to go to to play US servers. anyways, since that's done now. and it's a friday. woot woot woot. tomorrow it's kew gardens. then shopping a bit. then back to WoW. what a life. lemme see i wanna try making turkish baklava.. need to go to get some fillo sheets. and some syrup. and walnuts. right that's it for today. i am so glad i got WoW sorted out. now one more thing is to get rid of that european WoW i currently have.

WoW europe and WoW US 2 different things..

grrr... bought the wrong WoW Pack. needed the one from the states.. not the european one.. grumbles anyone wants to play WoW europe ?? i will sell it to them for £9. i bought it brand new for £9.99. hehe. the key is still good though. i never did anything to it. right now to wait for the US key from my sister. bike meter reset today again. at 253km done. other than that. no updates.. i am busy with WoW. ta,

WoW-ed - pack's in the mail.

i've been meaning to type this thing out but i just didnt find the time,. changes. 1. i rearranged my room. 2. my friend started me on WoW.which isnt a valid reason at all as i chose to play it. 3. my eurostar tickets to paris confirmed and was sent to me but when it arrived in my flat, it was opened. dunno who opened it. but thankgoodness it was still intact. i mean i still have tickets in there. 4. searched the internet for the cheapest deal on WoW starter package. ( i am still on the 10-day free trial) 5. found it in hmv, selling for £9.99. went to 2 HMV stores. wanted to go to the one in covent garden but i think i walked around too much didnt see it. went to the one in piccadilly circus, trocadero. none as well. the one in oxford st didnt sell it. bah . i mail ordered it. 6. which in turn still hasnt arrived yet. 7. i cut my hair again. well. there's nothing special about it except i did it myself as usual. cos not going out to meet anybody mah.. so just cut la.. as for th

forgot my ipod -

hmm i knew something was up when i rode out on the road this morning.. it seemed that something was missing and i didnt know what.. then when i reached about 1 km away from home, i realised that i didnt have that secret service earpiece on my right ear. crap.. i forgot my source of entertainment - IPOD. grumbles. no wonder it was so quiet. right, as i was cycling down, there was this girl who was so slow so me and another cyclist overtook her.. then because of the traffic light she overtook us again.. btw, when she was passing us, she was singing to her earphones. i think they are very dangerous. cos when they have earphones stuck in both ears, it makes them oblivious to the traffic. (which explains why i have my secret service type of earpiece which distinctly can be seen as a ipod earphone) anyways, when they cycle slow, they cycle in the middle of the street, come on la who cycles in the middle of a busy street not really fast.. hehe. but maybe i was bored i resorted to tailgating t

anjou - chateau de la coste and hobgoblin ale

Different types of drinks. i drank anjou when i was in france. and tasted a little of hobgoblin when i was in kent. both which ended up making me a little drunk. with help from other liquors as well. right, the hobgoblin tasted like er... there was no gas that's one thing. and it was drunk at room temperature. i think that's how they drank ales back in old england. hehe. the wine was okays. i prefer the bordeaux white that was served .. but too bad i didnt buy that. Enough about those drinks. today i went to evans cycle to get meself a pair of winter gloves. turned out that i could order it if they don't have stock and i dont have to pay any extra charge.better than paying delivery charges. and they'd give me a call when the gloves arrived. i think it was the altura crest thingy. cheap cheap. £7.99. personally i havent seen it.. but i hope it's good. better than my old fleece thingy which i bought in my first winter here at £4.99. right blogging reminds me of doogie

back from kent. visited dartford B & Q

i went to kent as i did say. things i did at kent, 1. took 2 shots of tequila within 1 min and sat down for the rest of the nite feeling weird. 2. visited homebase, B & Q, Costa coffee and COOP( pronounced as co-op) dartford. bought nothing but 4 shot glasses for £4.99, which incidentally was made in taiwan. and 2 lemons. 3. read first few pages of bill bryson's short note of something.. can't remember the title, i read it when i was not really sober. 4. talked something about tarzan and cheetah or something.. i think that's all oh yeah .. the dreams are coming back to me.. it's those dreams where i dreamt i was back in school and was a semi teenager. and some sort of being some secret agent school. of course with the secret agent, u definitely have to have girls right ? i can't remember which girl was it that was supposedly was my partner in the mission. damn.. i hate it when these dreams come.. it's makes me wanna sleep or get lobotomized so i can stay in

instant noodles - from chinatown

before i shoot off for the weekend down to kent to visit my aunt, i went went to chinatown last nite after work to buy some maggi curry. but then ahh.. they don't seem to sell it. then i ask a guy there. do u have curry flavour or not, then he replied without looking at what i was talking about. i say niameh, u never even look at what i was asking, u straightaway say dun have ? and then he looked at me and say i also dunno if u ask me. and then he only got those there.. and then i say okay la.. never mind. so i bought the ones shown on the photo. i dunno why i was just craving for some instant noodles. soup based one ler. if not soup one i can always use the spaghetti to make them. anywya,s that's one of the green one for dinner. seems okays. nothing much to brag about. it's instant noodles after all. fell sick for 2 days for tuesday and wednesday. sien. but now weekend lucky me. right, other than that, next week gonna be busy again. oh yeah. out of toilet paper. gotta go b

here i was busy eating my chicken browsing the blogs

found out that tagged was it. well, might as well since i dunno what else to write to remind myself. 4 things many don't know: - i was born 2 weeks late. - never broken a bone yet. - shoplifted when i was a kid. <-- i'll leave that in. i did it in KWSP's tong hin sabah. - i lied. well, they didn't know i lied.. so they don't know la 4 movies i could watch over and over - the matrix - jerry mc guire - man. i can quote almost all of it by heart.. - gladiator. - powerus maximus siaoness - does anime count ? 4 places i have lived - sabah - sarawak - KL - london 4 tv shows i love - dun watch telly. - used to follow CSI - 24 is a fantastic show. - - 4 places i've been for vacation - langkawi, redang, singapore - europe: rome, poitiers, bruges, brussels, amsterdam, cork, sheffield, london ? kent? - brunei when the jerudong park was still new and free and lotsa nice things to play. first time drove 150-160 on the brunei highway. wooot. - no where else .. 4 of my fav

Pringles - Ploughman's cheese and tomato flavour + maltesers

hmmm i've finished that pringles about a few weeks back(i think). i bought it cos i thought of tomato it was gonna be sour like the ones we have back home in msia. but it seemed that it was salty and not sour at all. the maltesers still havent eat yet.. havent find the time to eat it.. but i like it cos it's like rice choco pops.. or something like that. friday today. tomorrow is forecasted to be foggy in the early morning about 7 but not that i'll be awake by then. right, i have a gripe. maybe i was over reacting. my mom bought the docent tv cabinet set from ikea and she bought the light fittings for it too. then they never fixed the light for her. saying the guy not good at it ???!!?? i say to my mom ?? hello ?? u paid for them to install then they guy tell u he not good at it.. u say ok ??? HELLOOOOOOOO ??? it's not the matter of the money la.. i mean of course different amount of money different quality of work. but this is like .. if u pay for installation.. then u

cheap spaghetti Sainsbury vs Morrisons

i know i have been neglecting my blog for quite a bit. but i hope to be actively participating in the blogging arena - right.. i have no idea what i am typing because after 4 tequila shots and 1 pint of beer and cycling 7km home.. my brain is not exactly in the best operating health. now am eating spaghetti chinese dry style. with lotsa fried shallots., mmm.. can't taste sarawak kolomee might as well do this on my own then. right .. about the image.. i think sainsbury's cheap spaghetti is much better than the ones sold in morrisons. i know because i've been eating sainsbury's one for quite a while now. it's a little healthier than instant noodles. but takes longer to cook. i usually cook it in the dry way .. meaning.. boil the noodles, then strain it and then mix it in the bowl of oil and tuna + chilli powder + curry powder + some italian herbs. then i have "kon-lo" spaghetti. i do cook it with mushrooms and orange onions er.. i think it's called spani

cadbury snaps and 6 pm

cadbury snaps. that's the ones i bought 2 for £3. i bought 4 so it's £6 i guess. havent eaten them. will try to eat them when i run out of things to eat. note: i think the secret ingredient to a green stir fry vege is the fish sauce. hmm i don't have oyster sauce so i used some fish sauce. tasted quite okays. bought the vege 69p from morrisons today when i got home at 630pm. wooot !! that's the earliest i've came home since a few weeks. other than that, it's getting a little bit windy now. i wore the free track top i got from the warehouse, it seems that the sleeves are a little too short. but anyways, i use it only for my bike so it's okays. i wanted to do an anime website on the animes i've watch but then i got bored. i mean i never got around in starting it. i always get this headache on mondays. hmmm not enough sleep during the weekends. well, that's that for a monday. the next time i take the bus i'll go chinatown buy a whole carton of maggi

onigiri - or so i thought... i made them

hmm based on a hunch or a feeling that i wanted to eat onigiri, i made them last nite after buying the seaweed on friday nite after work from chinatown. at first i wanted to use nishiki, those japanese rice i saw in chinatown's shop. but as usual my money sense got better of me. i thought, it's all rice. they just need it to be a little stickier than usual. ( i added more water and cooked the rice in my steamer) so it was a little bit stickier than most. anyways, i made five with the usual amount of rice i use to eat. and filled the middle with tuna and salad cream. it was quite okays i guess. it was amazing that the seaweed just turned soggy and not break. even though the rice was hot. it was like a nice wrapper around the rice. well, my rice was hot and i was too lazy to use my hands. i put them on the seaweed right away. i think the onigiri would have tasted nicer if i had those prawn chilli fillings they used in the pulut nasi they sell in the stalls back home in msia. he

16 hours of sleep on a sunday

slept from 1230 am sat nite till 12 in the afternoon sunday. then woke up did some grocery shopping from iceland and morrisons. then went back home. watched howl's moving castle. ate tom yam fish. and took out the weighing scale. and omg.... i am still 78kg. i thought after not eating much on saturday cos i had a bloody big headache. migraine didnt stop till 7 pm on saturday. geeez.. what have i gotta do to get lighter. then slept at 4 till 8 pm. was supposed to go to the regent st thingy but it was so comfortable on my bed, i decided against it. ( i was supposed to give my boss a call when i reach the thingy. he wanted to buy me a drink.) then watched finish noein. weird ones. then slept at about 3 am then got woken up by the alarm at 8. kept pressing the snooze button till it was 8.47. (typical when i dont sleep on a sunday nite. ) now that's a weird thingy. instead of the usual 10 mins of snooze, this sony clock radio, does it for 9 mins. ugh.. now am at work. and hoping for

46 hours... and 250gb later

first time in my life i stayed up for 46 hours nonstop working. except to take 2 30 mins break for dinner first nite, and then breakfast second day. WTf... i seriously thought that i was gonna die... my head was hurting. i had to work that deadline. my desk is filled with bags from the samurai sushi and bento place. almost everyday for the past week we've been going there to pack dinner. got a msg from flatmate saying the router died. and some other flatmate had to use the internet cos of exams. and the worst thing is that the router is in my room and i havent been back for 2 nites. the fler then said i need to go back.. wah lau.. of course i know i need to go back la.. i havent slept for 46 hours ler.. anyways, cycled back after 46 hours. hehe. :P right. then the job still not yet finished.. today still went to the office to do some work. tomorrow will be going to regent st for the spanish festival or something la. will have a chance to play with my camera again. :)
