Living in London

woah.. i lost a day. i can't believe it's friday. couldnt sleep last nite cos body clock was out of order. slept at 1330 yesterday woke up at 1730. wanted to go out. so went out for a walk. then came back. watched anime. tried to sleep at 12 midnite. $%$£&$&$^£%$ couldnt sleep till 3 am . wah lau... it'll be a looooong time before i try it again. it's back to being busy for the time being. ta. last nite had miso soup + lotsa chinese seaweed. tasted nice. yum. couldnt sleep so eat something laaa

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my sould to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. 2 and half hours more to complete the 24 hour awake cycle. woah. the last time i stayed awake so long was when i was waaaay younger..lol but it's all good. as always, now it stopped raining. it's 530 am in the morning and i can cycle home. woot woot. dinner was KFC wrap or something my colleague belanja-ed me. i must remember to pay him back. hehe that pepsi drink was the first fizzy drink i drank since i started trying to get healthy. well.. apart from being awake for more than 20 hours, i think nothing's gonna get worse than drinking a glass of pepsi. haha [EDIT] 24 HOURS (*£"$!)"(%!)$£(^!$£ ^!$£ ARGHH.. My Muscles ache... i smell .. ugh..

this just reminds me of muttley who goes HEE HEE HEE .. after Dastardly fails to catch the pigeon. the theme to the song is still stuck in my head. i'm not sure if it's still the same tune i heard years back. catch the pigeon, grab the pigeon, nab him, smack him kill him ?? hahahhahaa this links to the synopsis to the cartoon. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A592887 unknowingly these pigeons gather around trafalgar square's national gallery's lawn or whateverumacallit. reached home at 1130 pm last nite. woah. aint no joke. the traffic was less. easy to cycle. not much wind. dinner was just chicken and toms, brocs, and carrots. didnt have rice again. reason being i had fries for my carbo in the afternoon. cycling halfway today .. nia ma.. suddenly rain.. lucky never rain very heavily else soaked to the bone. nothing else interesting happening.

busy time again. i bought this cleaner cos it was cheap. 27p from morrisons. though it's cheap, it does clean the toilet quite okays i guess. for that amount, used in a household of less than 5 ppl, it certainly lasts long. about 2 months ++ ? just used everyday to clean. before this we were using bleach. but it was a bit more expensive. rather i can't imagine spending more than 27p for a cleaner that i use only on the toilet bowl. hehe. unless of course the price of the 27p goes up. the wind is sooooo strong these few days. almost gone blown off my bike. not that i'm that lightweight. heh. it's warm enough to wear those half finger gloves now. as well as it's getting stuffy in the office. that gives me a headache. can't work if it's too stuffy. didnt exercise. cos didnt sleep enough on sunday nite. blame it on the timechange. i slept only 5 hours. geez.. went to work with a throbbing headache. each time i get this, i know it cos it'll be the only time i...

www.nationalgallery.org.uk . Took the bus to the last stop. it stopped there. right in trafalgar square, there's a big space i think where some indian bollywood movies did some huge cheoreographed dancing movie shoots there. but i never did see it. anyways, much to my suprise, the national gallery was there. right, I just never felt the need to go visit places where paintings were kept. but i was a bit bored so there on saturday i just went. i managed to see a rembrandt, van gogh's sunflowers, claude monet's water lilies, gauguin, whistlejacket(big huge horse lifesize potrait, er.. can't remember what else. but i know which pictures i liked. it was the four seasons depicted by four persons doing different things which signifies 4 different seasons by david tenniers the young in 4 small paintings. or something like that. and the other one was a big huge ass painting of the marriage of isaac and rebekah by claude. not sure who that claude is. it's definitely not monet...

When i first starting buying bread, i used to buy white bread. then slowly i turned to brown bread cos the bread was just as tasty as well as full of fibre i guess. as compared to white bread. i rememberd when i bought first bought it, the price of the bread was 43p ? that was only a few months back. now it's up to 48p. oh yeah. when i went to tesco, i found out that the lancaster ham is 4p cheaper. 34p instead of the 38p in morrisons. the cheap squash as well. it's 2p cheaper. haha i'm wondering what am i gonna do with 2 p savings. 1$#!^%$!%$652 anyways, back to this bread. there are 2 different types of bread at this current 48p price. one of them is the mr. Brown and the other one is this one. at first it seemed the same. then i think i'd prefer this stoneground bread as compared to mr. brown. maybe it's the packaging. or maybe sometihng else. i dunno. maybe they both come from the same factory using the same baking method. hahaha that's crazy. anyways. yes i...

i've heard or read the story about the tortoise and the hare. yesterday i finally found out the true meaning of it. i used to think that wow, it's amazing each time i go home i am behind this big huge bus with the plate number BX55 Fsomething... then in the mornings, i usually AM faster than the buses. when i overtake a bus, there should be no way that they will pass me again UNLESS i'm really bored of cycling very fast. ( it's just another word for lazy :P). so there was this day i went to overtake a BX55, then a few kilometres down the down, darn it, sure enough, there was this BX55 again. i said wtf ?? !!?? i just overtook him.. then i shook that thought off. i may have been dreaming of something while cycling and he overtook me i said. so the next evening i saw it.. the buses which has the almost same plate numbers. ARGHHHH.. i've been tricked. :P anyways, just to let myself know that the bendy buses are just like the tortoises. :P right for today's reminder...

colorful peppers this is the first time i see an orange pepper. or maybe i've seen it b4 but i've never used it. but since it was orange i bought it to try to see if it's any different but it seems that it's all the same ler. pineapple chunks bought this to cook the pineapple chicken i wanted to try out. too bad the pineapple taste wasnt really there. maybe i put too much other stuffs in there. anyways, this i bought for 49p from morrisons. it was found in the sections of baking stuffs + oil stuffs. not sure what aisle they call it. i was actually looking for it in the canned stuffs aisle. but it didnt seem to be there. but then i rememebered when i visited the cake or whatever u call it aisle i saw peaches in can. i suspected it was there. ahh.. and i was right. er.. okies.. enough rambling for today. note: last nite i almost rammed into a lady who was running across the road. she didnt even look to see if there's anybody coming. i suppose it's because i was on...

those are the pictures i took on my way to ikea. it seems that ikea was not that far from my place after all. i forgot my flash was on when i was taking the pictures. i hope some of the cars don't think the flash was the traffic camera at work. hahahhaha i turned it off after the 3rd picture. the rest of it are pictures from the north south east and west i think. too busy to type anything. will update later in the evening to tell myself i had a weird dream. and omg.. i got an email from a past me. www.futureme.org . it was SOOO WEIRD. imagine getting an email from myself a year back. hahhaha. it's fun ! try it. i barely managed 55 push ups. it's gonna kill me. i think i pulled a muscle. crap. anyways, dinner was rendang, rice, cucumber, broccoli, brown rice, some tomato chutney + fried onions. my fingers are itchy again. i need to go shopping soon.

Ikea Stuffs i got. bored.. :P almost felt like home. I went on sunday. walked for a few hours. the kitchen sets are yummy. anyways, got a dvd that showcases some kitchen ideas. completed the walk with a hotdog 50p + some fries 50p. large hotdog for 75p. difference of 30gram i think i can't remembre regular was 40 gram hotdog or wassit 50. but i know the large one is 90 gram hotdog. the hotdog was nice as usual. the fries were NOT so nice. the drinks were free refills. 50p. except for the icecream. free flow of sauces. mustard, mayo and ketchup. anyways, it's almost summer. that's why i need the icemaker. will go back there for some more hotdogs next time.

wow.. it's amazing how close my chinese name written in kanji can sound so close to my english name. now i'm glad to have my kind of name. the only one difference, the third chinese character made me into a Masaru.(傑). in chinese it's not a bad name as well. so i am glad i got named this way. :P so yeah.. i ask myself what can a bored person like me do in the office when there isn't really anything to do. there i go. this is my answer. doing and finding all those mo-liu-ness my surfing the internet. if there's one thing i know, or want to know, or if somebody asks me, and i don't know, i'll search for it from google. basically maybe it's just what a seasoned surfer would do. :P there's an image floating around the internet with a black man posing with an afro haircut... GOOGLE IT MUTHA-F__KER. another image i've seen is bart writing on the blackboard - I WILL USE GOOGLE BEFORE I RAISE MY HANDS AND ASK.. or something like that la. i can't reme...

I dont remember where i got the idea of a fried pasta but i just felt like eating fried noodles and if i do fry those instant noodles like maggi goreng it wouldnt be that much healthier. all this because i forgot to bring my frozen meat out from the freezer to thaw in the fridge. anyways, my verdict on fried pasta. It's good. hahaha okok .. it's my imagination. but it really tasted good. i fried it the usual way using eggs and chilli powder + paprika + bacon + some ham. i will try that again when i forget to put my food to eat in the fridge. anyways, i think the one i fried had a little too much oil. it was spicy. the eggs were mixed like those in the fried noodles. a fusion of western ingredients and eastern way of cooking. bah humbugs. hehe. and last nite i was looking for the manual for my bike meter. I bought the bike meter from carrefour when i was in spain. it was cheaper than those they sell in london. i think i bought it for abut 6 euros ? or wassit 10.. i think it w...

mahai lan tiu ccb .. i suspected that it's that stalker girl who comes to terrorize me. my goodness right now i'm having weird ppl adding me into yahoo and msging me and telling me they wanna be friends with me and they found my address via the yahoo directory. when i asked on WHERE IN YAHOO DIRECTORY I AM LISTED ? they answered dunno. mahai.. sommore got the nerve to say forgot liaw.. u think me stupid ahh.. born yesterday meh ? diu.. okies. i'm ignoring any yahoo msgs from ppl i do not know from now on. wtf.. aiya.. sien la.. lazy to type sommore. but this is a declaration against my stalkers in the internet. ( not that i have a lot of stalkers la :P) i hope u rot and may the fleas of a thousand camels infest in ur armpits. and may u have long lasting life in stalking other ppl but me. stay away from me. geez... it's getting me paranoid. aren't i paranoid enough already .. come on.. gimme a break la.. diu.. i got work piled up my arse so high i can't even shit...

Just like the pickture shows .. it's pocket coffee. by ferrero. i thought it was gonna be something like the rochers. but it seems different. it's definitely coffee alright. i bought 2. gave one to my colleague. okays. this is wayy back in december when i went to rome, italy. it seems that they do not have much supermarkets around but they do have lotsa gelato shops. Conad was the only supermarket i could see. of course i didnt have a car or i didnt know the language. anyways, this choco has a liquid centre. so meaning, it's either u put the whole thing in your mouth or u can put it with your coffee. hehe my colleague didnt know about it, bit half, the liquid spilled out. needless to say it wasnt my fault as i didnt know it HAD a liquid center :P coffee stains isnt good. but all in all it's good. oh crap.. i forgot to take out my frozen rendang. damn.. means tonite will have to eat something else. last nite i had the same as the past few nites. hee hee. my flatmate is ...

I'm NUTS about nuts. not exactly that nutters about nuts but because they were cheap and i'm a sucker for every cheap thing. yes. it was 99p for the whole box. there was a catch, i had to finish it by 1 april 2006. cos that was what was stated on the packet. before i go ballistic on health issues saying those expiry dates are so near and i'm still eating them ? Omg. anyways, yes i ate them. it taste oooooo great. maybe because i havent had any peanuts in a long time. blame it on those peanuts my aunt brought back from kudat. i've given one packet to my flatmate he said it was good and it didnt give him any tummy ache. so i guess it's safe to eat. bwhahaha. it's not like i gave it to him to test it out. i've already finished 1 packet within 30 mins before i gave him one pack. once i tasted it, i went back to the store to buy another box. *droool* i found out that if i ate too much peanuts, i can't really burp. must stay off too much peanuts. it tells me w...

This i bought to fix my bike for the brakes and the seat which keeps going up and down. if i am not careful i might just fall off my seat and hurt my family jewels. right, there's no images of hex key cos i think i would roughly know how a hex key looks like. arghh.. that's besides the point. it's tuesday. yesterday i slept so early that i thought i was going mad. i slept at 930pm. holy smokes. that's the earliest i've slept since. er.. maybe not. i woke up this morning at 8am. anyways, last nite i learnt that my stomach can't take that much food anymore. i just had a little bit too much of rendang meat. made me feel sooooo full. maybe that's the reason i slept so early. that aside, i think i found the smell to Maggi's curry seasoning. maybe .. i think it's a dash of paprika, chilli powder, some curry powder some pepper some salt. heh. not sure.. but it sure does smell like maggi curry noodles seasoning. well, that's enough input for today. i wil...

gimme some sugar.. oh yeah.. this is brown sugar i use to make my cookies. i was bored of eating some new peanuts i bought over the weekend thought i'd eat something sweet so during the weekend i made a few huge-ass cookies. then i broke it into pieces. since i'm the only one eating. and oh yeah. this time it's just plain biscuits with raisins. did the usual. grocery shopping. cleaning. relaxing. sleeping lots. fixed my bike's brakes again. i tried this brown rice from morrisons. it freaking took twice as long to cook compared to my normal white rice. but then again, it did taste nice. and i finally perfected my rendang for the non spicy tongue. it was totally unspicy. maybe my grammar is wrong. but i think it's not spicy at all. it should be just right for my aunt IF i ever visit them again. hehe shakugan no shana - da bomb. too bad it isn't finished yet. weird dream again last nite. speaking of weird dreams, i found the sweet spot for my speakers. i can't ...

right.. i delibrately put that title to mislead the spiders.. i wonder how long will it take for me to get noticed. hehe. Here's an explaination. i wonder if i read labels before i buy those products. anyways, but because chillies is one of my staple food. i kind of just get those which taste nice. i don't really notice where they are made or what they do or how bad they can be for my health. but here. i just saw this. it's not only those specialized industries in haddyai not sure howuspellit but THIS IS also one of the specialized industries. if i go to chinatown to take a look at the pastes, most of them in the same type of shops sell the same type of chillies/paste/curries/ etc.. i dun have much to go on except that to say this is a kinda nice and cheap chilli paste. besides, i can eat it with almost anything. which brings me to my downfall. omg... i ate tons of it last nite.. not like i dont eat it everyday but last nite.. that was da bomb. i may have invented a new s...

This was how it looked like when i moulded it. it looked okays. didnt think that it'll turn out any different than it went in. this is a close up look. looks pretty eh. this is the homemade blackberry jam(butter). that's it. the end result was horrid.. but then again .. i finished all the tarts shown within 4 days. i'm gonna try again this weekend. i hope i get it right. it's thursday already. mokuyobi ? whatever. last nite had pasta + mince corned beef, dried. like kolomee. drool. it's good to eat. fast to cook. but i think rice is still cheaper to eat kua. anyways, my rice is finishing soon. i will switch to brown rice. morrisons has brown rice about 86p/kg. i'll try that. muahahaha. rained yesterday as well. going home time at least i wasnt that wet. currently listening to avril lavigne - under my skin 2004. bah humbugs.

it sure brings back memories though. uncle R's cake. yum yum. i had to ration myself to 2 a piece. :P but yes. it does taste like it. it's great and fantastic. er... steamed layer haw flakes cake ? maybe.. not sure.. i have to try and get the recipe from him next time. but besides the taste of the cake, i had a weird dream last nite. i dreamt that stress at work was creeping up on me. and i was taking the bus somewhere to meet some ppl. but then i ended up without slippers and then walked around then i reached a dormitory where all my friends were hanging out watching some show. it had a heater i'm sure it wasnt in the tropical countries. nuff bout that. i suspect it's result of the divergence Eve misaki chronicles. . it seems weird though. i saw 13 eps while the notes said it was 12. Meanwhile, these are the culprits i bought from morrisons. i finished them in 4 days. i was lucky i didnt finish them in one day. well... i could have. technically. hehe. that's that/ ...

Over the weekend, my i felt a little bit overweight so i decided to shed 12 pounds off my body. rather. anyways, i walked it, usually it's just the kitchen department i visit to take a look cos sometimes they do have nice stuffs there. a few weeks ago it was those sabatier knives set. and some weird chef's knives set. i can't remember it's name. but anyways, this salt and pepper mill i bought is quite nice. but because of all the mills which are about the same price, i did not know if i bought a good one or not. so i checked around a few mills that they do have there, most of them had a plastic bottom. if i take a look at it, it seemed like this one, cole and mason had stainless steel to grind those peppers. the salt mill didnt look like it had stainless steel though. but anywyas, i bought it cos it was a set. that's the bottom and top of the mill. wooot.. it just looks nice. now.. all i have to do is cook steak or something that needs me to use that mill. muahahahh...

I can't remember when i bought this or how much was it.. but i suspect it was around that price i bought it from boots. when i first bought it, it was blue. er..blue blue.. not black blue like i see in the picture now. used it for about 1 month and half, 1/3 of it spilled out cos it fell down on its side meaning the top outlet is not secure or rather not tight. and then after a few weeks after that .. the solution turned black. omg..anyways, it's been like that since, i have not thrown it away cos i am still using it to clean my keyboard and some other stuffs that i can clean with it. so to send this back to clearasil would be more expensive than me buying a new one. so i'll just leave it. not that washing my face helps me look younger than my age. but heck.. it's just for the fun of having a routine innit. okies. here's the deal, i have yet to receive any cancellation email from bulldog broadband. it's been at least 2 weeks now. geez. i tried to make jam tarts ...
