Parts of london at nite.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.ushaving a friend over for the weekend isnt easy ler. have to play tour guide(not that i know anything much bout london. and finding out more about london is a little bit of a chore :P)
right so i ended up bringing them to
1. national science museum - i think it was quite interesting. too bad the digitalpolis was under refurbishment.
2. natural history museum - there was a motorized moving t-rex.
3. victoria and albert museum. - absolutely not my cuppa tea.
4. harrods
5. chinatown's wong kei. incidentally, i dunno where to bring them so i cincai la. but there were some incidents that irked me.
6. lillywhites < forgot the spelling liaw. couldnt find liverpool's last season jersey. too bad for the friend back in msia who ask me to find on short notice. bah :P
7. thames at nite - lotsa ppl there as well.
8. trafalgar square at nite. there were some ppl dancing in rollerskates/blades. but they were not actually dancing or practicing. just freestyle la. but it was okays.
note : 1-8 was all in one day.. i'd die of walking if this was everyday. but lucky it was only a once a year thingy.

today we went to camden ( which also incidentally a place which i would not have gone on my own as i think it's more of a touristy place like petaling st.)
and brought him to eat the pub burgers and as well as my first time trying kronenbourg extra cold ?
oh i brought him to marylebone, baker's st, on the first nite. nothing there except to visit the monopoly station.

anyways, right, here are some of my observation
1. it seems that the fashion in london now are those flats shoes that looks like chinese flats for ladies wear. dunno how to describe it la.. but i think it's the in-thing now cos everywhere i go i see ppl wearing them.
2. i dun like ppl who come and tell me just because i don't like eating out in chinese/asian places in london, they are disappointed in me cos i can't suggest a place for them to eat good chinese food. niameh.. u go ask some other friends who can la. ( i don't eat out alot. in fact, i rarely eat out cos i cook all the food i eat)
3. walking a few museums in one day is not feasible cos there's just so much to see.
4. this is the first time i've been out at nite in places where i can see weird ppl.
5. there were some drunk girls who were in those white stretch limo on friday nite, singing to us some drunk songs right near warren st when we were waiting for the bus. aiyoo.. if u wanna sing for us.. might as well ask us on the limo la ? :P
6. i am dead tired. oh yah..
us msians have a knack for saying accent as slang.
i.e wahhh speak with british slang ahh.. or speaking with american slang eh..
then when i try and explain to them it's not slang, it's ACCENT. they seem to not understand it. maybe i'm turning into the damn rigid old man. but heck.. it's bloody ACCENT. not slang. sheesh. ( well not that i speak good english but i somehow like to show off when i can .. haha. i just heard somebody tell me go and die la.. sien :P )

my friend brought for me from msia, some metal spoons they use to eat chendol or the air mata kucing with. some heong peng tapau from another friend in kl. (i bought her some cadbury snaps - somthing like pringles apparently but choco)
and as usual. he brought those maggi cup noodles.
other than that, he forgot to bring his towel home. well there's always next year for him to take it back then.
right that's all for today. tomorrow is gonna be another busy day and i figured i better post it tonite then.

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.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

my boring weekend

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...
