of long acre, covent garden,wetherspoon victoria station

saturday was a day out for me again. friday nite slept at half 2. which i suspect was a serious mistake cos i had to wake up at half 5 to get to victoria station to meet up with the group who was supposed to be there at quarter to 7. finished out of town business at about 4 pm. saw some REAL trainspotters in clapham junction's train station(complete with notepads and stuffs). drank a 1664, and then a tequila. then till half 7 (this was in wetherspoon victoria station). took the tube to covent garden there we drank again. i got a corona ( seriously didnt like that taste.) got a bit light and heady. kept snapping photos but didnt know what i was doing. ate some nachos, fries with mayo and ketchup. yum. then i really had to go.. b4 i went i bought like 8 shots of tequila from the bar. drank it down. went home with a big bloody headache. btw, the long acre had lousy tequila service. the lemons they gave was in form of a slice. SLICE.. ugh.. other pubs i've been to, they gave in for...

of tesco points and hainanese chicken rice.

i've always wondered what those tesco points were for. up till now i still havent gotten anything out of those tesco points that i accumulated from tesco. in fact, i think nectar is much better. at least with nectar points, i redeemed one measly movie ticket which was worth £8. the reason i thought about the tesco points is because i have the key fob to my bunch of keys which consists of my room key, house key, and bike key. so okies. enough boring tesco aside though it does sell cheap luncheon meat. 34p. i think i have a craving for chicken rice. i realized that i haven't had chicken rice in like 5 months. hmm will cook it this weekend depending if i got time. i got the recipe here. world wide gourmet . oh yeah .. speaking chicken rice. i have this bad habit that i buy meat, leave it for a week then cook it.. then buy another pack of meat .. leave it.. then cook it.. somehow my meat is always like 1 week old + whatever months the stores stored it. i'm so glad again it'...

of Gas-masks and tom-yams.

basically, i have had it with toilets with no ventilation. u see our toilets in the office building is just separated by a thin wall of fibreboard or whatchumacallit board. and in autumn or winter or spring when it's REALLY cold, nobody opens the window to ventilate the small forsaken place they call the gents. i SWEAR u have to wear a gas mask when that happens. i do my business at home unless i can't help it ( if i eat too much chilli the nite b4) then i'll be spending my valuable time trying to promote the use of gas-masks in the washroom. so the point being is that, if i ever open the gents when 2 of the cubicles are closed.. i run the hell out of there. i'd rethink my position and then retreat and regroup. instead of waiting in line to do some battleship bombing. ugh.. right.. that's one case. another case is that i bought the frozen cod fish thingy from morrisons for about 2.19 for 650g. hmm not sure if that's cheap or not but hmmm anyways, i bought it cos...

updates.wow.lazy.sien.

noting that the fact i haven't written anything useful.memorable.notable in the last weeks or so. this is because i've been overwhelmed with the fact that i've been WoW-ing every single minute i can. slotting in a few hours here and there to cook.wash.clean as well as watch some of my animes. i'd say the main thing of my life now is WoW which apparently is VERY BAD for health. One of my colleague's gf said, OH NO!!!.. u CANNOT play WoW.. please say u won't do it.. u know why ?? she said.. YOU'll NEVER GET LAID... -_-' and also.. she said she was suprised i still had a job. lol but i just started playing it a few weeks ago. i'm now a level 28 rogue. anyways. enough about WoW. my photos were received some nicely some not nicely this weekend is going down to warehouse again. as well as in the evening will have a halloween party in covent garden. as well as the time is gonna change on sunday.so we'll be like 8 hours ahead of m'sia again. my frien...

my album of autumn october 06

right, following the feedbacks from ppl i know.. they all say it's ok. so i thought i'd just put a link in here for the album i created in pdf format when i visited kew gardens. compiled by me picking some of the photos which i think is ok. so i'm leaving it up here whoever who wants to download it to view. as usual i've watermarked those images. click here for the album if hyperlinks does not work, try this http://dl3.ohshare.com/v/6371455/Autumn06.pdf.html anyways, it's only gonna be there for 30 days. once seen, please leave feedback in the comment box.. it's only fair i get feedbacks :P why an album? 1. because having an album seems classier than sticking it on a webpage/pps/word document. etc etc. 2. because i thought if other ppl can produce a photo album, i might as well do it.. as i never actually look through the compilation of photos that i have. 3. i have a moderately expensive/good/usable cam. might as well use it for something that ppl can view. 4....

sunday's adventure.

1. got a mail saying that guy wanted the WoW European package. okies. confirmed where to meet.

( or rather the eastbound ) 8. saw a few funny ppl in the tube. ( i don't take the tube often so it's a novelty to see ppl looking around lol) 9. out holloway station. waited for bus 153. it goes through my place. some blacks ( not teens and not adults. went in the bus without paying. 10. asked to show id by the driver. but they just...

I went to Kew Gardens to catch the autumn colours.

I thought i needed to do soemthing.. and it seems that UK is quite famous for its gardens as well. also i wanted to see the colours of gold in fall. but then i was suprised when i went there not all of them were golden yet. Some maples and some hickory were changing colours. (frankly speaking i didnt know which tree is which except for the maple ones... and i STILL don't know about which tree looks like what.) well i suppose it's a start. the kew gardens have a website which is http://www.kew.org . note: lotsa old ppl, a few families. i spent 2 and half hours in there.. cos i didnt know what to do in a garden. i brought my own food. and bought coke from the nearby store. enjoyed myself. hehe. there were lotsa ducks. and i saw the mandarin duck. or at least i think it's the mandarin duck. oh yeah.. i had trouble cos i forgot my bank details as i needed it to become a premier friend of kew. ( membership thingy) i think all in all , £40 for the annual fee, i spent £5 for the t...

playing WoW US servers from europe.

grrr.. that gave me a big headache. i had my sister buy the US pack, gave me the code. couldn't upgrade it in UK. had to get her to upgrade for me. geeez.. the trouble i hvae to go to to play US servers. anyways, since that's done now. and it's a friday. woot woot woot. tomorrow it's kew gardens. then shopping a bit. then back to WoW. what a life. lemme see i wanna try making turkish baklava.. need to go to get some fillo sheets. and some syrup. and walnuts. right that's it for today. i am so glad i got WoW sorted out. now one more thing is to get rid of that european WoW i currently have.

WoW europe and WoW US 2 different things..

grrr... bought the wrong WoW Pack. needed the one from the states.. not the european one.. grumbles anyone wants to play WoW europe ?? i will sell it to them for £9. i bought it brand new for £9.99. hehe. the key is still good though. i never did anything to it. right now to wait for the US key from my sister. bike meter reset today again. at 253km done. other than that. no updates.. i am busy with WoW. ta,

WoW-ed - pack's in the mail.

i've been meaning to type this thing out but i just didnt find the time,. changes. 1. i rearranged my room. 2. my friend started me on WoW.which isnt a valid reason at all as i chose to play it. 3. my eurostar tickets to paris confirmed and was sent to me but when it arrived in my flat, it was opened. dunno who opened it. but thankgoodness it was still intact. i mean i still have tickets in there. 4. searched the internet for the cheapest deal on WoW starter package. ( i am still on the 10-day free trial) 5. found it in hmv, selling for £9.99. went to 2 HMV stores. wanted to go to the one in covent garden but i think i walked around too much didnt see it. went to the one in piccadilly circus, trocadero. none as well. the one in oxford st didnt sell it. bah . i mail ordered it. 6. which in turn still hasnt arrived yet. 7. i cut my hair again. well. there's nothing special about it except i did it myself as usual. cos not going out to meet anybody mah.. so just cut la.. as for th...

forgot my ipod -

hmm i knew something was up when i rode out on the road this morning.. it seemed that something was missing and i didnt know what.. then when i reached about 1 km away from home, i realised that i didnt have that secret service earpiece on my right ear. crap.. i forgot my source of entertainment - IPOD. grumbles. no wonder it was so quiet. right, as i was cycling down, there was this girl who was so slow so me and another cyclist overtook her.. then because of the traffic light she overtook us again.. btw, when she was passing us, she was singing to her earphones. i think they are very dangerous. cos when they have earphones stuck in both ears, it makes them oblivious to the traffic. (which explains why i have my secret service type of earpiece which distinctly can be seen as a ipod earphone) anyways, when they cycle slow, they cycle in the middle of the street, come on la who cycles in the middle of a busy street not really fast.. hehe. but maybe i was bored i resorted to tailgating t...

anjou - chateau de la coste and hobgoblin ale

Different types of drinks. i drank anjou when i was in france. and tasted a little of hobgoblin when i was in kent. both which ended up making me a little drunk. with help from other liquors as well. right, the hobgoblin tasted like er... there was no gas that's one thing. and it was drunk at room temperature. i think that's how they drank ales back in old england. hehe. the wine was okays. i prefer the bordeaux white that was served .. but too bad i didnt buy that. Enough about those drinks. today i went to evans cycle to get meself a pair of winter gloves. turned out that i could order it if they don't have stock and i dont have to pay any extra charge.better than paying delivery charges. and they'd give me a call when the gloves arrived. i think it was the altura crest thingy. cheap cheap. £7.99. personally i havent seen it.. but i hope it's good. better than my old fleece thingy which i bought in my first winter here at £4.99. right blogging reminds me of doogie...

back from kent. visited dartford B & Q

i went to kent as i did say. things i did at kent, 1. took 2 shots of tequila within 1 min and sat down for the rest of the nite feeling weird. 2. visited homebase, B & Q, Costa coffee and COOP( pronounced as co-op) dartford. bought nothing but 4 shot glasses for £4.99, which incidentally was made in taiwan. and 2 lemons. 3. read first few pages of bill bryson's short note of something.. can't remember the title, i read it when i was not really sober. 4. talked something about tarzan and cheetah or something.. i think that's all oh yeah .. the dreams are coming back to me.. it's those dreams where i dreamt i was back in school and was a semi teenager. and some sort of being some secret agent school. of course with the secret agent, u definitely have to have girls right ? i can't remember which girl was it that was supposedly was my partner in the mission. damn.. i hate it when these dreams come.. it's makes me wanna sleep or get lobotomized so i can stay in ...
