Living in London

hm yeah.. that's it.. i've ran out of things to say. i had pictures on my phone, wanted to download it. but was lazy. am still lazy. it's just one of those days. I figured i wanna go a transit through dubai when i go back. it would be nice to see what's there to shop. anyways, it'll be a short post today. food eaten: penne pasta + curry + 2 carrots + lotsa french beans, and 8 mini hot dogs. i think. or wassit stunted long beans. had 3 pieces of chocolate. *drool* .. oh yeah .. i forgot i had home made yeow char kway . er.. it doesnt look it.. but it does taste a bit like it. that reminds me that i want to get one myself a churros maker from spain. [Edit] I am gonna make butter cookies later woooo hoooooo... hope it turns out well.. fingers crossed.. *droool*

what is a chinese new year without redness.. my dumb cleaver wanted to be red too even though it was stainless steel so it took a bit of my redness. i had to tie my flow of redness with a rubber band. it's amazing. that i dont actually appreciate my thumb till i can't really use it. anyways, my thumb is almost back to normal. healing pretty rapidly. it's all thanks to lotsa vitamin C plus some meat. and lotsa tea tree oil oh yes.. and my trusty rubber band. it's a beautiful day. I watched the whole season 2 of 24. and beach boys (japanese series Note to self:must get the dvds.) food: i made wontons i think i did sya it.anyways, i'm getting old. i made curry too. too bad i forgot my tummy shrunk due my new way of eating which is eat more times with less food. instead of the normal things eat less time with lotsa food. hehe. so now i'm left with lotsa food. yummy. then i wouldnt really have to cook alot. ta. happy chinese new year. it's back to work back to wo...

there we are. this is what i try to eat or rather drink on saturdays where i don't expend that much energy. so that helps keeps me hungry and always thinking of what to cook. am i glad it's a friday. woot woot. it does look weird.. it's even weirder than it looks. first.. it does smell like broccoli and cauliflower. but its SOOOO SALTY .. maybe it's because i put 2 sachets and not enough water. but heck.. hehe i think it's best to eat b4 i go to supermarkets.. else i'd be saying.. ooo this looks nice.. i wanna cook this.. and THAT looks nice.. i wanna cook that too.. and then i end up .. too much stuffs. and never seem to get rid of my stuffs. short one for today. it gets tiring when i try to remind myself what i did everyday in life. that's why i take a break during the weekends unless i dont have anything better to do. right, here we go food: broccoli+ carrots + beef + ginger. that's one dish. eggs with onions . - another. and a little bit of rice. and...

just look at that picture willya.. i can't stop buying stuffs.. ARghh.... this one i bought it to use it to make the mapo tofu. 'sides.. i still have my bakuteh sachets i need to finish. hmmm sommore i wanna cook curry .. arghh.. all these food is making me go crazy !! on a side (long) note, i went to chinatown last nite and wahh.. it IS always packed in the supermarkets.. they like always have money . and soooooo many ppl. i'm sure those few ppl i've met were either msians or singaporeans.. cos no one else talks like that in london.. got those accent la.. hmm and also got some weird chinese guys i'm sure they were just faking their accents.. bah humbugs.. i'm just jealous they can speak with accents issit... nola.. my foot la if i wanna be jealous i better be jealous they are so lucky their parents got money to send them here to study hahahhaha nuff said.. i'm babbling here. i forgot i didnt have cash with me.. ended up i had to buy £11.40 worth of chinese ...

Mind boggling, pain crushing, eye popping, knee shaking, wallet lightening kind of exercise for me... 1. switching to brown rice once i can find it. and once i finish my white rice.( wonder if netto sells brown rice.) 2. get meself a juicer. make juices out of those damn carrots. ( this one is gonna have to wait. meanwhile i'll try to see if i can nuke them bastard carrots and eat them.) 3. Veges - frozen over canned, and fresh over frozen. 4. Multi vit supplements. ( get some from morrisons try them for a month and see if there are any difference.) 5. whole wheat flour to try to bake bread ? :P so can spend my time having bread instead of buying bread. (this one i can try ) 6. cottage cheese ??!?? wth... i dont even know how to USE cheese... 7. Apple cider ... hmmm reminds me of my younger days. drinking apple cider with honey. tastes like 7 up. :P 8. hmm lazy to type liaw.. am busy reading some website. this seems like a good site. not much ads. and lotsa info. though not sure ...

I've just realized that i loooooooveeeeeee cookiesssss... hahahha just kidding. it's jst that it was buy 1 free 1 so i bought them. amazingly even though the outside packaging looks plain and unappealing, it was quite nice. sweet and oaty as shown. but i'm not sure if i'm actually eating oats or not. cos the last time i ate oats was when i was back in miri. when mom was making it or something or wassit that i was dreamts. anyways, back to the cookies. tastes nice. even though it has no choco it still looks healthy. not sure if its really. but i managed to hold off eating off the whole packet in one nite. alright.. it lasted 3 nites. 100g a nite. that would explain why i havent lost all i wanted. speaking of losing.. dammnit.. last nite i had the most horrible freaky dream. i dreamt i was back in KK airport and i misplaced my wallet and then when i saw it.. i checked it.. my credit cards, my money was gone. and i was stranded in KK with no money. and suddenly dunno why ...

Then someone pointed me to look at the top. geeez... how can i do anything if i'm soooo bloody busy... [Double Reedit] Picture above is taken from a pub somewhere down the street where i went. [Edit] Managed to steal some time to finish up here. it's now 2031hrs. still working. i had quarter rice, 3 carrots with 2 eggs, mapo tofu and lotsa chilli. yum. !! it's getting cold now. it's confirmed. i now hereby confirm that end of january and month of february is FREAKING cold in london . temperatures about 0 plus minus 3 or maybe plus 6 la.. dunnola.. me just talking nonsense.. oh i saw a team in an online game with the name, Dedicated To My Employers (cos it's on their time . hahahha it's one heck of a name. amazing !! anyways, time for me to go home. ta.

Poppadoms. papadoms. or whatever doms. all i know about it is that it's nice to eat when u're having lotsa hot stuffs.. it seems to take the hotness away. it's just like those chinese prawn crackers. but i dont see me eating the chinese prawn crackers with my meals do i ? okies. first things first, this is the first time i've seen poppadoms sold i mean the raw stuffs. i've never seen things like that in KL. omg... suaku.. hehe. all i ever needed to do when i wanna go eat poppadoms was just to pop in into an indian restaurant or some indian coffee shop for nasi briyani and then i get lotsa poppadoms. but like they say, you won't know what you've lost till u really can't find it. hehe. i was here for about 16 months b4 i knew there was such a thing that was sold in supermarkets. as for this one.. i just microwaved it. it tasted nice. no oil. so it's a LITTLE bit healthier. that's all i can say about it. i bought 5 packs of it. after i went back to ...

O2 IS FREAKING STUPID CUSTOMER SERVICE. stupid o2.. we're sorry for the delay. your call is placed in a queue. and your patience appreciated . one of our operators or wat da ophuck will answer ur call as soon as they become available. I CALLED FREAKING 5 TIMES .. within the day they were open and each call 10 mins MINIMUM WAIT AND NOBODY FREAKING PICKS UP THE FONE !!! STUPID !!!!! FYI , i called on a saturday 10am 1030am 11 am 12 pm and 1 pm. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THEIR WORKING DAY.. !! if they ARE NOT OPEN WHY FREAKING ADVERTISE THEY ARE OPEN !!!! BASTARDS.. ALL I WANNA DO IS CHANGE A NAME.. HORRIBLE.. THEY SHOULD LEARN FROM MAXIS MSIA. AT LEAST THEY PICK UP THE PHONE. i wasted 50 mins of my airtime just to freaking call them.. bastards.. and nobody picks up the fone.. i think it's on par with all the customer service phone centers like bulldog when they first started. AT LEAST BULLDOG ANSWERS THEIR PHONES NOW>!!!! geeez... £$"$%$%&%^*^$( *^)*%^*£^$^£"%$£^$*...

what a cornholio joke!! i heard that ppl who works for 40 hours a week or some even less have a less chance of being successful. now i AM spending like 8 hours in the office a day. i tried spending 9.5 hours in a day in the office. seems a bit weird. doesn't seem to give me any sense of achievement if i just sit and do nothing. but lucky for me these few days, been busy. anyways, back to the topic, the say . work more than 40 hours a week to be successful. i'm running an experiment to see if that's correct. else i'd throw it out the window. duration of experiment : 4 weeks. it's only been half a week. so another 3 more weeks to go. and then there's this point that says, hmm i'm not getting any life am i ? heh. funny. anyways, it's always good to have a friday after a long week's work. in fact, i think the only time i'd enjoy a weekend nicely is when i worked full time nonstop during the week.. ahhh.. it's friday.. haha.. meaningless .. meanin...

hmmm picture says it all. bought that speaker when i first got a free p3 computer. that pair of speakers was bought from www.maplin.co.uk then i bought meself a second hand 20 inch sony monitor. freaking heavy. 30kgs. carried it on the tube and buses. i ALMOST DIED... haha. then found out the speakers here then was quite expensive. so this i bought. used it till a few months back when i finally got fedup of it.. so i bought the x-530 logitech. but it has served me well. though i really really hated it. end today. very busy. note: i had 2 chicken thighs, 2 poppadoms, half a raw lettuce, really less rice, and 2 chocolate cookies. just past reach the 74 mark. but it's .9 so it's not that near yet. thats all.

thats the lock i bought a few months back from evanscycle . i forgot if i ever reminded myself that a bike lock cost that freaking much. i bought 1 lock and one extension. that extension cost about £12.99. at that time i was thinking oh crap. why do i have to buy something so expensive to protect a bike which i didnt even buy. hehe. anyways, i bought it.. and my bike is still okays. so i guess it's a pretty much good buy as it keeps me healthy and my means of transport to work locked up. one thing though, i'm sure this is the most expensive lock for a vehicle i've ever bought. even my car i have never bought a lock so expensive. erm.. lessee all i had was built in lock in that dumb wira. hehe short and sweet today. Note: boring dinner last nite. had rice, icebergs and carrots and chicken(chinese) 2pcs. anyways, i should be cutting down more rice and adding more vege. the weight is still staying at 75kg, not good. need more power to cut down. but breakfast adn lunch were sti...

Now that is what they call a chinese chicken in the UK. or rather in the butcher where i buy my meats though. though only my bacon pieces and chicken meat are bought from there. oh yeah i used to buy mince pork from there as well when i was trying to make Wan tan . chinese dumplings. well it worked out pretty good if i must say so myself. anyways, back to being sacarstic about this chicken other than the fact that the chicke n IS cheap. which part of this chicken looks like a chinese ?? u tell me ... never mind that . after cooking it.. it STILL didnt look like a chinese. i think the people at the farm or the butchery or whatever place they call it musta made a mix-up. anyways, it taste better than it looks. just like any normal marinated chicken. hehe. puns aside. Note: i had leftovers beef taucu, iceberg + carrots stir fried. adn one of those chicken u see up there. oh yes.. a quarter rice. as usual. weight is looking fine.last nite. oh yeah .. jam + butter bread for breakfast and tu...

there u go, jelly beans. MAGIC ONES !! yes.. they do grow a beanstalk when u throw them to the ground. i'm just lucky i ate them b4 they grew else it would have been impossible to resist the urge to climb up the beanstalk and find me own princess. anyways, back to reality, it looks cute. tastes like the old sugus ( if u young upstarts know what this old fart is talking about :P, just kidding just kidding..) or rather some hard toffee sweet. different tastes in each beans. some milky, some strawberryish or berryish. etc etc. got 5 of them from my friend who passed it around. corned beef from sainsbury. it looks like it has less oil. more mean and don't really smell as much as those other cheap brands. but nonetheless it was expensive. i'm not sure if i've reminded myself of this corned beef or not. but i used to buy them for only 38p about 1 and half year back. then after 6 months it went up to 45p. now it's bloody 58p... inflation on beef.. crap.. or rather beef t...

Packages shown here b4 i opened them. after i opened them .... there u go. they look quaint. erm.. rather .. quaint is used for french stuffs isnt it ? bah humbugs... anyways, the first one which was the Con cacao e nocciole. it's hard. feels like marie biscuits on steroids. it was sugar coated or rather sprinkled with castor sugar not sugar coated. sorry. but once i ate it.. its the same inside. it melted in my mouth. provided of course i don't bite and swallow immediately. must savor the cookie mah. cookie monster needs cookies !! muahhahaa took me lotsa discipline not to finish the in a day. took me at least 1 week to finish them. the second one was just opened yesterday or two days ago. (con panna e cacao) can't remember. it looks even cuter. same feeling. it's not as hard as the first one.. but it does have a feel like rusk's baby biscuits without the toughness. i wonder how long will it last. same feel with the first one. should have bought more. it taste cool...

heh. woah.. what the heck could have done that to this bike ? it's been there for ages. i see it each time i walk to Morrisons. i wonder why they are not doing anything about it. talk about abandoned stuffs. this is a find.. now if only i can find out how to take it apart wihtout anybody looking at me. hahhaa just kidding. anyways, it's a breather today. just a funny picture i see on the streets of london. Note to self: I ate 3 carrots, penne(pasta), corned beef (with worcestershire, kikkoman, chilli, curry powder, ginger powder, herbs), leftover potato, some bacon. must have some variety..

Right... i swear this is the last one.. the last shopping thing i'm gonna buy for myself for this week.hehe. i've always wanted white teeth.. too bad it was not that white. so this is my solution for the moment hopefully it works better than my old one. my old one was using the electrical unit as a charger. but i have no idea how it got spoilt as i think the water leaked into the housing and then caused the battery to rust. so i couldnt use that one anymore. and i opened it up. right my mistake. anyways, after 2 years of brushing without this kind of toothbrush. i bought the battery operated one as i still have my rechargable batteries that's lying around so i thought i might give this a try. and it should be easy to fix if it fails on me. so far it's been working fine. it came with 2 duracell batteries. the actual price that was stated in the supermarket was £12.99. and it was 50% off. woah.. whatadeal .. yeah right.. it's just a marketing gimmick. yikes... post i...

right, short and sweet does my day a nice wonderful read. bought this in clarks outlet in holloway or rather seven sisters road. was pretty cheap. just tested wearing it today on the bike. new shoes. couldnt feel the bike pedal properly but its soles are quite thick. er.. it's a new shoe. oh yeah.. color is a bit yucky cos i can't really match it with any clothes i have cos all i do have is black. hehe. will just have to wait till i find another black timberland like the one i used to wear. currently speaking.. it's quite comfy. will try and update in a few months time. it was windy today. almost got blown off my bike. and diet's working. am down to 77kg from 80. rather it's my tummy that's shrinking. eating less food. so that it's healthier. besides i'm eating half vege and half rice with a quarter meat. usually i eat a full rice. no vege and full meat. :P bah humbugs. ta

bought this on saturday when i told myself i wasnt gonna spend money but noooooo morrisons HAD to have this on sale. it was going for £1. instead of the usual .. erm.. i never checked. last day was that day. i mean the promotion for the £1 was till that day. anyways, i bought 2. one of it was this one. and another was the peperoni slices. it was okay. i guess. put in in the oven for about 30 mins or less then took it out. didnt have lotsa cheese. but taste was good. crispy. for £1 ? yeah worth the money. i ate the whole pizza in 15 mins. well it was a thin crust pizza. so it's nothing much to brag about. it was a jammed up day today. so many buses and weird drivers on the road. but it's still a beautiful day. any day which is not raining IS a beautiful day to me who is cycling :P self note: more shopping items to put pasted here soon. bah humbugs.. i hate shopping. :P must try and see if i have the time to go to chinatown to get the won ton skins for new year. extra note again:...

saw in the bbc weather website saying it was supposedly gonna be sleet yesterday and today. definition of sleet : frozen raindrops that bounce on impact with the ground. got the definition from http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/ . didnt see it myself. q: wwaaaaaahhh... why the explanation on the site so long one ?? how to read ooo ? u think me so smart like u ahh ? a: wtf ?? where did YOU come from ?? q: oooo i just came back from my holiday . last nite mah.. a: omg... I'm so dead. q: come onla.. dun liddat. me friend friend with u mah. a: right.. i suppose i know i ran out of things to write. that's why u came back. geeez... gimme a break. i dont have to write my memories down everyday. q: if u don't write it down, when u old and gray liaw. who tell u what u did in ur life ? a: i don't need anybody to tell me what did i do when i was young. all i need to know is i lived a full and nice life. so bugger off. q: hmph. u dam wan kain of molon. wait till u need me. then u kno me...

ate this last nite. it was lucky i had my faithful swiss army knife with me. else this stupid can would be a tough nut to crack. it tastes like any other sardines in a can. nothing much about it. it's just survival food, you know ? when u're not having anything to eat OR u're just lazy to cook. easiest way out. hehe anyways, if i'd known that the can was so hard to open, i wouldnt have bought it. horrible asda. i'd rather buy those sardines from netto anytime. it's the same price and it comes with an opener or something like that. that's it for today. i forgot to bring my bike meter home yesterday so it's about 7 km short on the odometer. just to let myself remember it. [Edit] Had a bad gateway host with extreme tracker. now switching to onestat. tata.

Right.. i'm gonna be very frank. i've had nitemares coming to haunt me every nite for the past few nites. some involving some weird dreams saying ... *sTOOOOOOOOOP** q: stoooooooppppp... *interception* or whatever la.. what u mean by weird dreams ahh ? a: what ?? what the heck are u doing back at my blog ?? go away .. q: dun like that laa it's a friend friend thingy.. when u in trouble i come mah.. u see me so good friend.. a: right.. i'm gonna be sick.. i'm schizophrenic.. this is not good. q: mahai.. how can u say me liddat ?? a: okok .. i'm not hearing anything.. q: fine ignore me la.. i won't tell u why u dream :P a: hmm fine if u put it that way.. why did i dream.. q: it's because u stress too much laaa.. work and sleep and eat.. too much stress.. a: u gotta be kidding me.. i'm having a sense of accomplishment here .. q: what u mean by akom what ?? i never hear it .. dun understand la.. why u use so long words ?? wanna die ahh ?? u know i dumb d...

q: how to get there ? a: take the bus number 29 towards wood green. after turnpike lane u'll see a big huge mall directly straight up the road. ring the bell come down. and then walk up the mall then se i think should be on the right hand side of the mall if u're coming from the south to the north.( from london towards wood green la ) else it'd be on ur left. q: how was it ? a: quite good la. they have lotsa variety of food. 1. teppan yaki, which had aobut 10-15 raw type of ingredients for u to get the chef to cook. 2. wasabe, some weird looking shushi, lotsa chinese food lets see, about 8-10 different types of food per island, there were about 4 islands, so about 40 different types of chinese or asian food lor. 3. 2 types of soup. 4. lotsa starchy food. the usual la. it makes u full faster. 5. didnt buy any drinks. a jug of water cost about £1.20. tea or chinese tea about £1 per person which is naturally standard 6. food was erm.. yummy if only i had a bigger tummy. 7. 3 d...
