Living in London

i went to moss bros in oxford st. £139 - cheapest tuxedo with shirt and bow. no cummerband. ( + 20 for cummerband)rental for £50 ++ , they do just dinner suit for £35. burton £89.10 - suit. no shirt no bow no cummerband. ( + 20 for shirt and bow) rental for £51 then finally i tried the lipman and sons (something like that name la. my aunt gave me the name of LIPTON.) on charing cross road. (somewhere beside leceister sq station). the old man told me rental for £30( + cummerband is £33.90). but that time i already bought the daniel hechter cummerband for £14. sien.. so i went up and down the street contemplating to buy or not to buy. then i figured. i am not REALLY gonna wear it for lotsa times. so i figured i'd save £100 and spend it on somehting else.. ( i havent found out what that something else is yet.) anyways, yup rented suppose to pick it up on friday morning.return on monday morning. alrighty. there's my tux. so i ended up with a cummerband which i own. and a suit which...

hmm and at that time . it was lucky i checked the milage a few days b4. it was at 543km since the last reset. and considering i went a few days b4 the last reset i gauge the milage to be at least 580km kua.. alright. it's back to normal now. set it back to the 0. so from now on it starts calculating again. that aside, last nite was boring. i ate a whole can pringles b4 i could stop myself. out of my 23 cans, i have 4 cans left since i bought it about a month back. ouch.. my daily breakfast consist of yoghurt(1 cup). and 2 slices of bread ( jam and butter) then no lunch. tea another 2 slices of bread. then dinner woot woot. right. i am dead meat. i need to buy lotsa stuffs this weekend. and if i start buying, i find it hard to stop. geeez. i need 1. a new battery charger - 20£ 2. tuxedo rent or buy (60- 150£) 3. WANT a new wireless keyboard + mouse (25£) 4. i think that's all .. unless i see something more i like.. man.. that's more than what i spend on food a month.. anyway...

lordship lane + aldi behind a tree huhuhu. i knew i went to lordship lane b4. that was when i tried to take the bus to the tesco near ikea i think. or wassit to asda's southgate circus.. can't remember. anyways, this proves i've been there. oh aldi is behind that tree. i didn't wanna go in the sun to take that picture. so the aldi word was covered. some job centre in scott green this was taken walking from lordship lane to aldi. anyways, that's all pictures for today. amazingly today is thursday. i'm so glad. nuttin to report today. mm.. the damn secure mail thingy hasnt arrived yet. they are smart not to put contact numbers on their website. but i have to refer to the letter they sent. niabeh.. not like i carry the letter on my body all the time right. hmm a few more days to payday. yippee.. this month is a little bit tight. blame it on spending back home. %"$£%$^". right, woah. my BP count is almost back to normal. woah. must be the raw celerys i ate...

i baked this. Baked fish . well.. this site has quite a number of recipes and it does do almost everything that i want it to do.. sommore last time i did a site like that.. but then too susah to maintain.. though i had like 1 million recipes i think. back to my fish. oo a 94p cod fillet and i only finished half of it.. i've got leftovers today. bah humbugs.. but look at the packaging compared to how it's packaged back home.. it's totally different. other than that, HSBC was supposed to send me my solo card.. ( i still can't get a switch card cos they say something about my acct) anyways, waste my time.. it was suppose to arrive yesterday.. and up till now i still havent gotten any news on it. they use this stupid secure mail service where everything is robotized. to book a redelivery . i either use their website or call them. bah humbugs.. i thought calling them would be better. but turned out it was a robot service. speaking to a bloody computer. so i hung up and used...

crap.. 10 more days to go.. and i still havent found a tuxedo. rent or buy.. rent or buy .. that's the question.. currently i have no ideas how much is it to rent one.. and how much is it to buy one.. this sat dfeinitely have to go out and hunt for them. must ask colleagues where to get them. geez.. why laa must have something like a black tie even . sien.. anyways, that aside, er.. nuthing spectacular happened yesterday except for some stupid van tried to cross over the road even though we were in front of him.. almost knocked us over.. .. that bloody wanker.. us = cyclists. i dunno the guy in front of me.. but he almost got it.. that stupid van guy also stupid one.. bah.. what else, i was lazy to cook rice so i ate spaghetti with fish again. hmm tonite must try to cook rice. these few days really no mood to take pictures.. i must get myself that battery charger b4 i go as well. and my weighing scale is broken.. it says i'm 78.8 when i think i'm only 74.. :P bah.. that...

that's that. i thought haddock was something special.. but i guess i havent been eating enough fish to qualify as a fish taster. i bought cod for 84 p. haddock for twice that amount. the size of the fish is almost the same size anyways. i dun understand it. fishes are not fed by humans. nor are they from a different planet for each different type of fish. why are the prices so different for all the fishes.. bah humbugs. all come from the sea. blame it on the capitalist pigs.. :P anyways, i did a panfried version of the haddock cos i dunno how to cook fish one. usually the fishes i ate, i remembered was deep fried fish and then soy sauce was poured over the fish. and man... (sweet and salty at the same time).it tastes good. i must try again that even though it's a tad unhealthy. other than that, didn't go anywhere for the weekend. stayed at home and tried to get rid of the heat by showering every 5 hours.. ( almost did not come out of the shower.) it was that bloody hot. thi...

but the way i do it.. is i DONT TOUCH anything that does not belong to me. example 1. codes.: this guy russian/ukrainian chap. deleted/changed my codes cos it was not usable for him. WOI !!! take ur codes and shove it laa. create a new function then use that for ur code. dun bloody take my code and skewer it. $£!^%"$£&%$^$£%"$£%"%$ THOU SHALL NOT DELETE/EDIT MY CODE WHEN I DONT DO ANYTHING TO YOUR CODE. example 2. plants: i got a plant in the toilet that hasnt been touched for a few months :P i water it when i go to the toilet. ( usually every morning when i take my morning pee, the plant soothes my eye. :P so then today i went in the toilet, sat down. stared at the usual space while i did my business. something was missing.. it doesnt seem right somehow.. then i realized.. WTF.. my plant was stolen.. its not there.. these hungarian chaps. they mutilated my plant. cleaned it up. and put it in their room. WTF.. $%$£"^"%$ ( i got it back ) THOU SHALL NOT TAKE...

now.. technically this has nothing to do with my living here in london. but i was out of ideas for creating a nice memory today. so this photo will have to do. as it is, it came out from the ikea catalog, installed by them. all for the price of 3.4k. bah humbugs.. and i am not even there to use it. ( mom chose the design the colors, etc. ) lol. anyways, that's beside the point. i guess this half a kitchen looks better than no kitchen at all. so long she's happy la. aiyoo. she go buy speakers also cheap lousy speakers. told her to go change it to some altec lansing. better than cheap logitechs anyday. :P okok enough grumbling for that. now it's back to work again. can't make memories if all i do is work all day. i am wishing for it for a friday. notes to self: 1. i did work in videoEzy b4. 2. chinese songs makes me homesick. 3. CNY songs makes me even more childsick. ( i wanna be a child and receive lotsa angpow...) 4. i wanna strike lottery and and.. and... er. still co...

not that i ate this. i just took a picture of it in my aunt's place. she bought it for £1++ not sure how much la. anyways, last nite was crazy. didnt manage to finish work . the fler told us to go home at about 11 30 pm. anyways, the light i bought from msia . those white led lights. i used that for the bike. turned out the batteries werent new so the lights were very dim. but i've changed the batteries now. so tonite i might just work till late so that i can use the light again. haha. lame.. woke up today at 8 as usual.. Half almost melted snickers bar for breakfast. ( the weather is THAT hot) back to work .. back to work.. so fast.. anotehr 11 more days to payday.. hurrah . [EDIT] it's 12 midnite and i've just arrived homea bout 30 mins ago. man.. i'm sooo tired. ( like who isnt la) anyways. i had KFC the one next to goodge st station i think. today. some tower up thingy. yesterday was boss tapau pizza from the local pizzeria. now i'm so dead tired.. 2 nites...

weather is hot. predicted to be 34 this afternoon. it's gonna boil. that's it for today. i'm tired. and also very sien. dunno how to organise my work. bah humbugs. laters. will edit later when i finish work hopefully.

weekend that was. 1. got a separate small fridge for my room now i can have lotsa lotsa cold stuffs. 2. went to visit aldi. - it was a higher class version of lidl. didnt buy anything from there. 3. went to church. ( might not go back. lol) 4. ate too much cookies. 5. stayed at home the whole saturday doing nothing. yay. hmmm woah.. after listing out those things.. i think my weekend was cool. lol anyways. today going to bank to get my debit card after so long. tonite hope to see a new room somewhere around my place.. that's it for the week. oh yah. need to look to buy one tuxedo soon. damn.. another £100 down the drain. cacated. bah humbugs.

as the title says it. this thing.. this thing.. is very addictive and annoying at the same time. it has 4 different place to pull, flick, spin, and twist. and when the music starts you have to do the correct actions. something similiar to the big dancing machines in the arcades. this one is just for the hands. it's fun if u play it in front of a lot of ppl and everybody will get laughs out of you just becaues you can't do it and when they try it out themselves.. it's same.. then everybody will have a good laugh. my aunt bought this a few years ago and this time i went to kent i saw it. she brought it down for me to see.. and then it got started.. first the score was 2 then 10 then 20.. then i stopped. for each time u got the action right, u get one point. and sommore the music gets faster.. haha. anyways, that game aside. today as usual its a friday. last nite i found out my dvd drive is going bonkers. it used to be able to read so many dvds.. now .. it is acting very weird...

Journey of a blue label is not very short. imagine it went from scotland. to singapore. to labuan. and then i brought it from labuan.kl.london.then to kent where it reached its final destination. that thing came with me because my aunt suddenly decided to ask me to get a phone for uncle. so i bought the phone. in return my youngest uncle punished me by getting something heavy for me to bring back here. sigh. sommore with a torn shoulder muscle, carrying things were not really my good point at that moment. the doc gave me a jab that killed my muscles. i think. cos after that i felt like an invalid. my arm couldn't raise higher than my shoulder or my head. had to use like the shitting energy ( neh .. the energy i use to push my shit out lorr) to bring my arm up to head level. man.. that was tough. lucky now it's better. anyways, that's it for the blue label. didnt get a taste of it.. not that i wanna taste it.. that thing cos a whopping 590RM.. man... imagine what i could ha...

i bought some 1. danish bread(35p) ( i didn't know it was 400g.. i thought why so cheap.. ( the usual i buy was 48p, later when i reach home i realised the usual bread i buy was 800g. no wonder it was so light. sien. but just as well, there was no other bread on the shelves liaw) 2. easy cook brown rice. 88p 3. yoghurt( plain) 1kg. 79p 4. some carrots 33p 5. some cheap ass choc ice. 39p. that's about it i think. came up a total of £3.33. last nite ate seaweed soup with onions + anchovies. hmm nothing else. it's the day to day passing that i dread that my deadline is coming up. uwaaa... i was in kensington on sunday. previous sunday. (last last sunday la) That's pretty near to the notting hill gate station. or rather should i say it's sMACK right in the middle of it. i have no ideas how to take photos. so i just take them as i see them. oh well. oh yes.. i had pot noodles yesterday afternoon for lunch. i bought them from tesco 2 for 99p. a little bit different. but ...

i remembered to call o2 to cancel my contract. it seems that they would do anything to keep you in the contract. well.. what i got from them is £75 credit. and it pays my line rental for 12 months. which is £6 a month. that's what he said. in return i dont get any new fone but i get 25 mins/texts a month. tell me if that's a bad idea. i think it's okays kua. since i dont use the fone. i think they are banking on me using up the mins on the phone. so i must think carefully when i call. haha. sides, if i use the pay as you go, i'll still have to top up £10 every time i finish up. er.. drat.. i tihnk i made a boo boo. never mind. hopefully it all works out for the best. last nite was lazy to go to the supermarket. didnt buy anything. ended up eating onions + eggs. and some tuna + some fish fingers with tons of brown rice + white rice. woah.. still very full. need to get some vege soon. lessee tonite i'll be able to make it to the supermarket.. it seems not since they a...

i was down in kent again. urged to visit by my aunt. anyways, had bbq over the weekend. was sad to say .. it was my first english bbq. lol. It's soooo different. it's not like some bbq we have back home where everybody sits and cook.. it's just a cook and i sit down to eat. it was a fishy bbbq. salmons, mackerels, sausages, thin steaks, Portabella mushrooms. big mushrooms. (bbq-ed as well) man i was full. 3 small cans of heneiken for the 2 days stay. not too bad.. lucky i never drink any hard alcohol. nuttin else much to say except it was a tiring weekend. and note to self.. something weird is happening.. the dreams are coming back.. sien.. didnt buy bread for the week. means either tonite will have to go to morrisons do my grocery shopping. or i eat nothing for the rest of the week. tube from finsbury park to victoria is cheaper and faster than taking 2 buses down to victoria. even though part of the victoria line was closed on saturday to do some works. i took piccadilly...

right. boss is not around. faster type a few words first. :P naww. just kidding. anyways, as i was cycling home yesterday. as usual i took my usual lane. but because it was quite jammed. there was this stupid bastard of a man on a motorbike revving his teeny wiener at me. niameh.. u think if i can i dont wanna let u go ahh.. there was this stoopid bus on my left side.. and cars on my right. and the mad van in front of me. no space to go. that stupid fler on the bike keep revving. and then he came up to me and said.. u bike go bike lane.. WTF ?? this i'm going straight u MFC... KNNTNS .. anyways he rev a few more times and almost got hit by a bus.. i say.. if this was KL .. u'll be dead.. LOL. ( sounds like romeo must die show. ) anyways that aside, i cooked curry with turkey meat last nite. didnt have chicken mean sides, the turkey meat was cheap. put 2 potatoes and fried the meat. pour in the sauce that was given by a friend in KL. cooking curry .. i used to cook curry every 2...

the amount of ppl walking in oxford street just scares me. on another note: my eyes are acting up again. it's dry.. but i dont understand why it's dry. my hands are also getting dry. i drink more water than b4 but it's still getting dry. kitchen's fixed. toilet is fixed as well. not that it broke anyways. i got some huge ass luggage that my flatmate left in my room cos his room has no space. talked about wimbledon he said he went for those courts at £15. the centre courts were like dunno 40-60 ? bah humbugs.. i missed it this year as this weekend not free. will be visiting my aunt again. more ants... i wonder what are they doing... it usually is hard to navigate around in the streets. i took all these shots from a bus. cos it was so jammed, it was faster to walk. but as i was lazy to walk, i sat on a bus and relaxed. it was also very hot. :P okies. thats it for part one. save myself for tomorrow. tonite's dinner gotta be turkey meat and carrots ? and onions. stewed ...

before i do that, today is the second time a stranger came up to me and say "wicked bike." geez... is there something about my bike that i don't know ? it's just a kona cinder cone racelight. chrome butted something.. and all its stickers are almost all gone. the seat's torn up. well maybe it's nothing to shout about cos it's only been twice in the period of 2 years that compliments has gone to the bike. what about the rider ??!!?? lol. crap.. i let a old beat up bike take the shine of the rider. the bike must have been one hot bike in its heyday. anyways, that aside, our kitchen sink in the flat has gone bonkers again. it's not draining properly. washing machine is not usable. can't really cook as the water dont flow from the sink. so .. sigh. hope it's fixed by today. ah well, the weather was soooo blardy hot.. and it IS still blardy hot. i'm thankful my fan is working good. so it's all good. inside the leceister sq park. there's ...

As i was chatting with an old friend who just started trying to find part time work, it brings me back to the tiems when i started a part time job. lemme see.. my reason for part timing was because i wanted to buy expensive stuffs and mom couldn't afford it. ( good thing too) :P my first job so to speak was to wash my uncle's honda prelude when i was 13. lol. he gave me 10 rm for that wash. not that i was very good at washing cars. but it was money nonetheless. saved up bought a new pair of pumps. reebok pumps last time very heng. now no more. too me a year to save to get those pumps. limited edition sommore. crazy. few hundred dollars pair of shoes last time not cheap. hehe. then i think i did part time when i was 15 as a bellboy in a small motel. the biggest tip i got was from a black dude who asked me to bring water to his room for him and his gf. rm 5. ( i think this job got me 3.50 an hour ? or maybe more.. not sure. but better than McDonalds la.. 1.80/2.20 an hour.. siao....

on a sunday. needless to say .. whenever i try to go to church i always wake up later than i mean to . and i think i'm really not cut out for church. this one was BIG.. or rather is BIG. lotsa ppl. but somehow i didnt feel it was friendly enough for a loner chap like me. so i decided not to go there anymore. :P u can view its website here . like okays.. i didnt go out on saturday. ( when i say i didnt go out.. it usually means i dont go out using buses/tubes/or whatever la) all i did was walked to morrisons, then to iceland, and then to the movies using the the nectar redemption coupon i'd redeemed about 2 weeks ago. sien.. fast and the furious tokyo drift.. the only nice parts were already shown on the trailer. lol. i should have waited for pirates of the caribbean 2. that looks a little nicer. anyways, that aside. what else did i do for the weekend.. oh yes.. i got my first encounter with the Mets. lol. there werent any cars on the road. the lights were red. i did it just to ...
