can't sleep. wanna write bout this big fish

i was on the queen mary's on thursday nite in the embankment for an event i wasnt prepared to go.
there was like free finger food. the drinks as well. there was fake money to go around to play with the casino tables they set up for the event.
they had poker. which everyone was dealt 2 cards and it goes on and on.. ( this is where i lost all my fake money on. )
they had roulette and the girl was nice enough to lemme try spinning the thingy. but i wasnt any good at it. sides i lost at that table too.
then i went with my colleague to play blackjack. ooo we were on a roll .
first play 20 etc.. ( fake money so just put only la) then when we got tired of playing.. we put all one shot. and then when we won, we still doubled up.. till i managed to get about 1.3k. geez.. if this was real money .. i think i can make a living. lol
anyways, i lost it all at the damn poker table. sien.
but that aside. i had to lose all of them anyways,since the event was coming to an end.
and when i went back home. and last nite or wassit this morning. the first time i dream this bloody big fish tour.
my friend brought me to see this pond and pushed me in the pond. so that i can enjoy the freak tour. gee..i swear it was so real that i thought i dreamt i was blogging about it the next day. and i wanted to bring some of my friends to see that big bloody fish. i think ahh.. this is caused by too much work. for the past week, i have been working last usually till after 10. today was finished at 1115pm. siao..
since i'm still awake.. just finished dinner. thought i'd just try to remind myself that this week wasn't futile at all.

note: i told my colleague about the masters course
he asked how much was it.
i replied : 8-9k kua.( of course i didnt put the kua at the back. he won't understand me)
he said... that's crazy.. that's a lot of money . i didnt have to pay to go to uni. they even gave me money to go to uni in my first year.
i said : wtf ??!!???
he asked why i wanted it.
i say it's cause it would be easy for me to get a PR next time.
he said. i think u better go find a girl. then get ur ur brit passport then go study.
think of how many dates ur 8-9k can buy for u. lol
i say .. right.. now to find a girl. british one. tell her i want to marry her cos i want to get the citizenship so i can go to school for free. lol
WTF...
weird conversation i tell u .
anwyays, time to go watch anime again.

i don't think the ang moh are aware how much we foreigners have to fork out to go to uni. a lot of my friends go "shit! That's a lot of money!"

I heard it's not that straight forward to get PR anymore even if you marry a local. Not sure.. cos i'm not bothered to check.. heheheh

anyway.. good luck =)

No more free fees for Brit I think. Blame Blair for top-up fees!

yup, they don't know how much we have to pay through our noses to study in their universities. but they're prolly puzzled to, as to why would we want to study there? funny, how the heck do you explain to them - "uhmm... dunno. i don't like the local universities?" =P

anyway.. poker! hehe. i used to play stud poker in the casino. and blackjack. the rest, i dunno how to play =P

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready..

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
