more elaborate synopsis of the whole trip.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.usmost of this will be point form as i'm bored of writing an essay. and it's gonna be very long.
1. reached work on friday 10. after getting my tux from the shop. then went to bank to get solo card.
2. reach work. have to start something urgent on work. then left office at 12 something. ( an email was passed around saying to all to remember passport)
3. we left office for liverpool st station at that time, we finally figured out we're going to stansted.
4. reach stansted. everybody was milling around waiting for the tix. about 37 of us.
5. as with big groups in travelling there's bound to be casualties. when we were on the train to stansted, halfway towards the airport, one girl said she forgot her passport. she left it in the office. shiiiit... then a mad scramble for passports.
6. reached the airport, the girl got left behind. gonna come the next day. one lost his bag or rather left his bag in the train. and it had his laptop on it.. there goes another. but he drove to the place where we were supposed to go that nite.
7. reached there. seemed pretty far away from civilization cos it took us about 1 hour from the airport to the chateau.
8 arrived there. was an old loooking chateau but one of the largest house i've ever seen plus fields it's just like in the anime (blood+) i've seen. it even had a well but it was covered up.
9. dinner was some goat cheese cos we're in the area famous for goat cheese. buef buergoneon or something like that. dessert was choco mousse. not sure how u spell all these fancy names. wine was bordeaux and anjou. red and white all around.
vodkha as well. coke.
10. next day was continental breakfast. - er.. i didnt know conti meant no meat but just huge croissants. bah humbugs.
11. we went for a walk to the nearby lake( 45 mins walk.) i took the bike. hehe
12. there was a pool there. with a big mushroom. i think a bee stung me . shit.. it went into my board shorts(those with wax comb)(one of the most expensive shorts i've ever bought).
13. went back and then prepared for tux evening. woah.. i like this part. it was like a gathering of the mafiosos. ( we have a big variety of ppl from different countries which made it even more authentic. sommore it was in a chateau in the middle of nowhere. lol .
14. we've got godfathers from iran, poland, germany, various parts of spain, the english, russian, ukrainian, indian, americans, france, south africa, ireland,jewish and of course me... malaysia. :P
15. we're all in tuxes and sunnies.. ooooo.. i like. women were in evening gowns.
16. dinner was dunno what and dunno what. salmon with jelly, then pork with sausages and very SALTY asparagus wrapped in bacon.
17. they partied till 6 am. and never slept. i slept at 3 am. too tired.
18. i woke up at 7. they were still awake. scary. then we went to a vineyard area called anjou. so drank a little bit more.. most of us were unable to drink due to the fact that most of them were hungover.
19. then we had beef barbequed and pork and sausages. woah. anyways, ended the trip with going to the airport. that's about it then.
20. oh yeah .. one of the americans caused a scandal with the spanish family cos the american did the russian and what's more it was done on the spanish's bed. ( not sure if that's the whole story but i suspect that's the truth. cos the spanish's bedroom was right beside mine. but i was too pissed to hear anything. lol
but like they say , all's well ends well.
ta.

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

of brussels sprouts and racial features.

brussel sprouts are in season i think. they are going for 1 pack for 52p. it used to be like 1/4 of the pack for £1. but now seems to be cheaper. oh yeah. it seems to be siu pak choi. but it just didnt opened. anyways, that nite i went to morrisons, to buy more food. but when i walked halfway i found out that i didnt bring my wallet.. ^$£"%$£^%$ but lucky i had coins in my pocket. all i had was 96p. how sad.. lol . i went to the store to look for nga choi. er.. whta they call them here.. i think some sort of beans.. they usually sell them for 45p. i wanted it cos i cooked chicken rice mah. but then they didnt have it. and they have mixed stir fried thingy which was £1.29. poor ole me didnt buy it cos i didnt have enough lol so i hunted for cheap stir fry vege, the sprouts looked like a cheaper alternative. well.. i bought it. cooked it ate it with chicken rice. next thing i knew.. i was down with a bloody cough. ugh.. lotsa phlegm. not sure how i got it.. but that aside, i've ...

Ultimate Burger. ( sorry no pics)

Tried something new for lunch the other day. namely ultimate burger. . it's a tad pricey when compared to the burgers i had in macdonalds or burger king. :P £7 per medium sized burger. i had just the minted lamb burger(£6.95), and some spicy onion rings.(£1.95) in the ultimate burger store in tottenham court road. it was not too bad. a pretty nice setting too. all u have to do is queue up order ur food, then get a number then u put it on the table. they have sort of a hanger for u to put ur numbers to. just like in those kind of chinese open air market in petaling jaya give u number then they come look for u.. but this one they come to look for u with ur food almost about 2 mins after u've sat down and they would ask u if u liked ur food. gripes about the food. lamb burger seems small.. but its' about the size of a chargrilled flame burger in burgerking. taste wise, very tender lamb meat with mint sauce. it's nice. :P the onion rings are a different matter though . for ...
