Living in London

yesterday when i got home, i think the new ppl in the flat has been using my mayo & my oil. sommore didnt tell me. ugh.. i didnt confront them. all i did was put chilli powder in my mayo. ( that's what i use them for anyways, i mix chilli powder in the mayo for salads.) and keep the oil in my room. no need to confront them la. sien. sides i can't really carry a conversation really well. dunno how to talk ler. anyways, went home ate spaghetti and dhall weird combi but it's okays. then washed it down with 2 choc ice. called o2 to say i wanna cancel or rather get a new phone. but they offered me the o2 exec for £280 on top of my existing contract. whichi pay about 18 a month. .. hmm after i calculated.. sien.. dun want la.. stick to prepaid. so i called this morning again. told them i am looking at the fone for £100. and keep my existing contract. sides.. i hardly even use more than 20 mins of the fone a month. should be a good deal. if not i could always choose to go pre...

speaking of walks... today the part of the Tottenham Court road was cordoned off. and now is STILL cordoned off. not sure why. i take my usual route going across the small park towards the odeon on TC road. but then i reach half way i saw so many ppl and the police lines there.. goodness knows what's happening. ooops... i went down at about 1015.. it was taken off liaw.. so it's alright now. anyways, yesterday i had lunch in zizzi's a few blocks away from our office with a bunch of colleagues cos one of them is going away. or last day or watever. i took the liberty of making an accident that spilled my £2.25 apple juice all over the table. lucky the two chaps sitting right in front of me didnt get wet. lol. my pizza was actually about £7.75. was the napolatene or something like that. fishy stuffs. cycled home last nite. was hungry. ate a little too much . had 4 choc ice. 3 quarters of a pringles can. inspired by the lunch i had. anyways. went to sleep dreaming of weird stuf...

www.royalacademy.org.uk this was all done on the weekend. cos from monday to friday , i got no time to go anywhere.. rather lazy to go anywhere since i cycle home. if i stop somewhere it means i'll have to lock my bike up somewhere and then make sure i bring my lights in case i go home when it's twilight. today is a sunny day. my back ache is gone. amazingly. but today my eyes seems to be a bit blur.. maybe it hasn't fully woken up yet.. cos yesterday i worked till quite late. about 9.30pm. (not that late by msian standards but late nonetheless)sommore i didnt bring my lights. so i cycled like the wind.. ( well not exactly like the wind la..cos by the time i got home.. no more wind liaw. ) it was late and i decided not to wait 45 mins for my rice to cook in the steamer so i cooked spaghetti. yum. there was this huge ass ( literally HUGE ASS) statue in the middle of the courtyard. it was one side something and the other side somehting. there as an exhibition going on as well...

NOTHING... absolutely nothing... my back did hurt a lot yesterday.. but after a night's rest.. now it's much better. but it still does hurt a bit. i hope it goes away soon. damn... i'm really getting old. this body is like almost falling apart. $£"^^%£*£%^^%"$£%2 anyways, like i said.. jermyn street has nothing to do with my back. but i found that jermyn street has very little ppl but has lotsa expensive shops. correct me if i'm wrong. ( i would prefer never to be wrong.. but alas.. it just does not work that way) these pictures were taken on a nice sunny saturday afternoon. i had nothing in mind when i took these pictures, just with the thought that i had like lotsa space in the camera + i wanted to look touristy. speaking of which, i finally saw where dunhill was in london. because back in msia they used to do ads like ALFRED DUNHILL OF LONDON.... now since i got here .. this is the first time i've ventured out of my comfort zone. i do have a lot of comf...

What a weekend... 1. friday nite. reinstalled windows xp. got my computer working. slept. 2. woke up on sat. didnt want to go out but then such a nice day. might as well go la. visited a few places. went to visit another asda in southgate. fuiyoh.. that's the furthest i've been in a london bus. how do i know it's quite far. cos the buses come like every 20 mins..lol. set time. anyways it was also because it was about 9-ish. pm. sunday tried going to church. not like i wanted to.. but since i tried i went lor.. sommore cos this church address i got from my mom who said a few friends of hers came to london about 5 years ago to start one. so i thought wahh.. not bad. asians at least i dont have to talk funny. anyways, went there.. to my suprise.. very few of them. sien liaw lor.. i wanna talk malaysian also susah.. anyways, that aside, will try another one next week. sure hope they understand why i dont go back there kua. right now, i have 23 tins of pringles multiple flavours...

about 630pm i arrived in london for my first time in my life, out of malaysia.. ( brunei and singapore dun count as being overseas). after i look back, wah.. 2 years gone by just so fast.. look back also good experience la. so many things happen.. hmmm okok stop reminiscing. now back to the friday that is. nuttin to report except my bp went down a little bit. go home today and test again. steamed the chicken without salt. and saw tesco's buy 1 free 1 offer on the pringles.. @£1.38* sheeeeiiiit* i'm gonna get myself another 8 tins of pringles later.. hopefully i remember la. oh yes.. yesterday i was on my way back home from work, i saw a cyclist that knocked her head against the sidewalk. i'm not sure how it happened cos when i cycled passed. there was lotsa ppl helping her. and 2 other cars stopping by the side of the road. there was loads of blood.. scary.. sommore she was wearing helmet... wah.. i guess either the car was not very careful or she wasn't very confident ...

1440 X 900 resolution.. that's what my computer is running now... woot !! we got a new widescreen lcd for each of us in the team. wooo it looks soooooo bright.. the resolution.. one word.. NICE !!!! got it just b4 we were about to leave for work yesterday. anyways. enough about my screen. and celery salads ? woah.. the celery prices went up from 49p about a month back to 79p now... sigh.. for 88p i can get a kilo of brown rice. anyways, that aside, i found that if i put a dash of mayo with some curry powder + some italian herbs it tastes really good. or maybe my tastebuds are already conditioned to eat raw celery. my computer at home still gets restarted everytime.. hmm today will have to find out what is wrong with it. managed to get the minidump files.. today's weather looked like it is gonna rain. but yet bbc weather said it is not gonna rain.. dunno how true that is. nuttin much to add now.. maybe later in the afternoon if i do get something interesting..

sien liaw lor.. this morning i did a big boo boo.. u see i distinctly clicked on my sister's nick on the msn. u see.. both of them starts with M .. sommore both also with 3 characters.. siao liaw.. msged my boss about insurance rejected cos i got blood pressure condition.. lol. boss replied back asking me how is my bp and high bp is not good.. *pengsan* i laughing my head off when he replied. u okays?.. anyways. that aside, been a busy morning.. dealings with XML and SQL 2005..HATE IT HATE IT.. nothing express my distaste for programming.. but it seems i'd be stuck in this field for a long time.. unless i get that national lottery jackpot. that is too IF i remember to buy them every week. SIGH !!!! my computer at home keeps restarting every day.. dunno what the heck is happening to it.. even though i got like so high specs on it.. KNNjfajdskfjads fh04hjoiasjd fasd back to the strawberries yesterday. it made me feel so bloated. ewww.. sommore those berries were misshapen one.....

i wonder what came over me when i was wheeling my bike to my usual route then i passed the stall that i always pass b4 i go to work. now the strawberries didnt look very appetizing. BUt.. notice the BUT.. i needed to eat fruits.. so sien lor.. it was either cherries for £1 or a box of strawberries for £1. so i bought the strawberries. i'll try the cherries maybe on thursday. am planning to do masters but still trying to find a part time evening that is cheap and near to where i work or where i live. so far i've found that it's not cheap to study masters even with part time.. it's like £1100 per module or seomthing for University of westminster. too bad UCL don't offer part time evening. metropolitan uni somewhere near where i live, that one also dun state how much for non eu/english .. sigh.. nuttin much to report except that i'm getting the hang of living back here. i missed the west end live free show in leceister square last week. sien. found out after readin...

Visits to tesco, IKea, Sainsbury's, somerfield, and morrisons, argos, iceland. right.. i need help.. those definitely can't be my favourite haunts.. but bah humbugs.. i prefer going to look at stuffs i can use at home rather than going to spend my money in a pub.. where i can't really drink.. :P OMg.. i'm turning into one of those old men i hated when i was young.. geez.. anyways, that aside, i went to hyde park on saturday as well. there were like tons of ppl there.. cos there was this concert by dunno who. i sat there for about 45 mins and then went on my way back home. lessee.. i bought from 1. IKea £1.99 HUGE rubber ice tray. Original Price = 3.99 £0.99 some hanging thing. Original Price = 2.99 £2.99 some gosa skalip or something ergonomic pillow. 2. tesco £4.97 another cole & mason salt and pepper mill. ( buy 1 get 1 free) 74p tyre puncture kit can't remembre what else liaw. ahh yes.. some dhall beans. 3. Somerfield. some cheap chicken thighs. this was wher...

to me that's the first friday that i'm actually experiencing since being back from KL. not that it's worth of any mention. it's just that i'm out of pictures of london to put as a memory. but i'll try to describe it in detail using words.. and if i do fail in that area.. sorry la.. myself also can't remember that much of things mah. with the sun still up at 7 30 pm, i was walking to the post office to send the mail to my aunt, and another to the airport survey. i promised the guy i would send once i touched down. but the fler never gave me a pen.. so being the lazy fler that i am, i put off writing the form till yesterday well.. like they say it's better late then never. i saw an old man waving the flag off england on a sidewalk just outside a pub, screaming on the top of his lungs, "ENGLAND, WE LOVE YOU !!!" he went on and on and on.. i suspect that it was because of the easy game that england had against trinidad and tobago. or something like...

well.. it's finally time. i managed to sleep till 8.15. but i did wake up at 530 b4 going back to sleep till that time. anyways, that aside. i'm glad i slept alot. tonite means i'll be able to stay awake till 12 or 1. lol. right, i went back to msia using emirates with the pretense of i wanna go see dubai airport because of the hoo haa about it being one of the nicest airport around. i want to say that it's good.. but then again... here are some pictures of dubai airport. if they look good, it's because i shot the pictures nicely. it was one of the last few shots i took with the canon A60. :P from the photos u can see layout of the airport is loooong.. just like a tunnel. the shops are located on the ground level and the food court on the second level. i'm not sure the palm trees are real. but i suspect they are false. actually they ARE false. there were lots of ppl waiting for their connecting flights, koreans, japanese, other asian ppl that i couldnt recogniz...

this is the first time i hear that a tyre has kevlar material. OMG... i bought a pair of tyres that rivals the price of my 15 inch tyres back home. 14.99. and that's the cheapest... sommore got rotation sommore. see the pic here i damn sien lor.. cos both my tyres already almost died mah. then i bought 1 tyre to replace the back. then another 1 to replace the front the next day. then i put them on wrong way. sien. i go back i try to put them on the right way. went to the station and pump. came back to the room fixed the tyres to the bike. found out i did the the wrong way again !!! GEEEEEz then i went back to the station to pump.. the fler said the pump rosak.. so today i came to work on bus. in the bus after camden stop they got cops coming up the bus to catch those fare evaders. i saw a lot of ppl got caught. cos of the bendy buses nobody go touch in mah.. this fler who sat in front of me. obviously he didnt touch.. he told the conductor when he got checked for saying the pass wa...

i wonder if it's my time lag or just my body not used to the sun that is coming rising up so early. i keep waking up at 6.45 am to 7 am. and last nite i slept at 11pm. geeez.. otherwise.. it's just normal signs that i'm getting old. well.. holiday in KL was fun. i spent quite a bit. 1. got my eyes done for a fraction of the price they wanted to charge me here. 2. gave away both my handsets, one to my sis and the other to my uncle. got an old fone to keep me contactable until end june where i will try o2 for a new o2 XDA exec. *droool* 3. fixed my car in KL and it still needs fixing. grumbles. and it's not very cheap. shouldnt have driven so fast last time.. dangit. 4. managed to get the HSBC security device. 6. fixed my passport. charged me rm 65 only for a chip and pin as i paid for a new passport when i was in london. 7. kenak masuk hospital for 1 day in labuan. the heat was horrible. hehe. 8. met up with my aunts and uncles. missed out the youngest aunt and the third...

I NEED A CHEAPER PLACE TO RENT !!.. cheaper room that is.. damn why are the places so expensive on gumtree and loot .. must go shopping for place liaw. 400 a month .. must find a place cheaper than this..
