Living in London

for 19.99 from evanscycles again. i don't know why but i seem to like to buy from them. not because they are the best.. but i think because they are more convenient for me as well as a little cheaper. i went to oxford st last nite as to find out which cycle shop had the cheapest gloves. cos apparently i lost my old one which i bought from a indian shop or something for 4.99 fleece thinsulate or wtfumacallit. they got nicked when i forgot to take them to the office.. i left it on my bike.. geez.. anyways, old don't go .. new don't come.. so here comes the new one. it was rubbery. well it was thinner.. it wasn't very much warmer despite saying windstopper.. maybe it just stops the wind. maybe it was for autumn. bah humbugs.. it'll have to last me a few good years b4 i lose it again. more info can be found at www.windstopper.com that's about it. last nite my fridge acted up again when i accidentally knocked the socket lose.. and it didnt wanna start up again. had t...

weekend came and gone again.. spent my days cooped up in the room. lazy to go out. 1. cut my hair. i must say it looks quite okays. 2. bought some bread and groceries for less than £2 in morrisons while untidily attired. ( didnt make a difference. cos i spent like 4 on lunch today) 3. went to some tavern tower off hanson st or something.. then proceeded to nordic pub where supposedly the barmaids were all blondes.. this was on friday. 4. drank beer, then tequila. then nordic pub - beer, then nordic ice, then nordic kiss, then beer. then when i realized it.. it was almost 12 am.. we started at about 8 ish. 5. didnt get a headache this time cos i took it slow. 6. sunday missed the way to cook bombay potatoes.. forgot to put the onions b4 i put the potatoes, but it was okays.. 7. wanted to cook vegeterian briyani.. but then again .. was tired and hungry.. so ate the potatoes with lotsa homemade chilli. 8. wow-ed using teamspeak.. amazingly .. even with a streamyx line.. that teamspeak wa...

as usual, when it snows in london, it snows once a year. one day a year. i'm not sure if it's gonna snow in the coming weeks. but hehe. it was nice waking up to a white london. i was supposed to write this up yesterday so that i could write something else today but somehow yesterday i woke up on the wrong side of bed and everything seemed to go very wrong. 1. i forgot my thumbdrive.pendrive.flashdisk. that had my images and stuffs i wanted to use in there. 2. more work. that's usual. 3. i just felt like crap cos i just felt soooooo tired.. i want to eat so much but if i eat.. i WILL put on more weight.. so .. can't eat that much. yesterday didnt go for lunch. i brought my own lunch. cos we have a toaster in the office. dunno why the boss dun wanna put a microwave in there.. then i can bring those £1 microwave stuffs from iceland.tesco.asda and save more money. bah humbugs. so it leaves me no choice but to make toasted sandwich. EXTRA THICK bread from morrisons bettabuy ...

anyways, i stuck a post it note on my bike cos i was parking at the same spot where i locked the bike up. when i got off work. the note wasnt there anymore. not sure if the wind's got it .. or the owner of that bike took it. i'll just have to check my mail once in a while to see if any mail's gone in the mailbox. like doh.. of course i gave a junk mail box.. but i do check it.. anyways, that's end of the drama. my bike's still in one piece. and it's still getting colder by the day. i'm eating into my little savings cos i spent a little too much in december. lets hope next week arrives faster. pay day. right. that's it for today.. we walked like 20 mins to pizza hut on oxford st to eat the buffet cos my colleague didnt have money for his food, but he had a voucher.. but then turned out that voucher couldnt be used.. so we paid for him i think .. i'm not sure who paid for his food but i know we still ate there. 4.99 for eat all u can pizza. i took abo...

( 22 -jan 2007). i'm sooooooo sorryy... i didn't mean to lock ur bike with mine.. i was in a hurry and i didnt notice that i locked urs to mine. i'll leave a note on the bike tommorrow to apologize again. do let me make it up to u by buying u a drink... i'm seriously amazed that u didn't puncture my tyres.. lol. once again .. so sorry..... i feel so bad... drop me a note if u know the owner of that blue bike that i locked together.. fyi.. my bike was the one that was covered with a tesco plastic bag on the seat. lol. mail me at junkyardx[at]gmail.com lol not that u're ever gonna read this.. but if u do... lol ...

lol i just watched that show again just now. what inspired me to write a little note on the show was that when i was young, gangsters shows seemed so cool. or wassit rebels. i guess back in the 60s there was james dean. or etc.. not sure.. something like that la.. then grease with travolta's with his bad boy dancing thingy. right, i absolutely adored.liked.admired. that show.. ( young and dangerous 1-5) + the prequel. though different part of the movies i don't quite like. but the story i like. reason being. 1. i like being bad. even though i am a build in remote control that tells me that everytime i am bad.. i feel guilty .. thus i end up not really being bad.. so it's not that extreme.. so it's not that bad. 2. bah .. they have nice leather jackets and costumes.. i would call them costumes.. cos if i were to wear that one out.. it would look quite out of place with exception of being in camden town on a sunday morning that is. 3. then also because of all the girls,...

i was early last nite. walked with my colleague towards Great portland st. then began my 92 photos walk back to warren st. trying to improve my photographic skills.. sad to say.. it didnt do me very much good cos i was holding a messenger bag and a maplin plastic bag with a cd wallet for 320CDs.. that burnt me about £10.99. i had subway yesterday. LARGE... that being mentioned... i didnt eat any dinner last nite.. but just junk food. today i worked late. thus i was pissed because i had to work late.. bah humbugs.. so i decided to come back and eat more .. cos this afternoon i had SUPERSIZED XL BACON DOUBLE CHEESEBURGER :PPPP and that girl over the counter wouldnt give me more mayonnaise... she gave me 2 packs.. then i asked for more.. then she gave one MEASLY one more.. i was thinking WTF ???? other ppl order small meals.. they get 2 packs.. i ordered a bloody BIG F-ing meal .. they also gimme 2.. MCH.. anywyas.. tried to eat in contentment.. i'm usually very short tempered and ch...

i'll do stuffs in point form today. i'm incredibly busy at the moment. 1. slept at 4. due to the effect of Full Metal panic The second raid. + i wanted to get to WOW level 52. 2. woke up at 830. 3. cycled to work. amidst of occasional rain. 4. tired.(woi.. i'm not always tired u see.) too much work. too little time. 5. second set of black and white photos except for the plane. 6. did u know that a plane flies past Kew gardens like every min ? 7. my canon IS3 has a weird button that when i press it .. makes the resolution of my photos lower. ( i press it unknowingly and accidentally all the time. bad place to put a button.) 8. i want to do the what's in my fridge thing but i think i'll do that tomorrow. 9. i so wanna smoke again... but i think i'm better off spending my money on what gets me fat. so that's out of the question. 10. i spilled noodles on my shorts and sofa when i was watching anime last nite. ugh.. i hate it when i'm careless like that. 11. ...

are harder to shoot than colour photos. i dunno. i tried taking so many .. well not that many.. it was a beautiful day and i forced myself to get out of the house instead of being cooped up in the room like a recluse. i took the train to kew. stopped there for an hour or 2. it was quite cold. but i wore the same amount of clothing that i wore when i came here in autumn. my interest in b/w became imminent on the day i saw the photo of hirosue ryoko, sitting on a bench after a photoshoot and she was in her winter coat, cupping her hands over a warm cup of coffee or something.. it was black and white la.. but yes.. that was the time i wanted to find a model who could strike that kind of natural flair. well, it helped that she had a cute face la.. lol anywyas, here are some of my b/w photos. i didnt have a model so i had to make do with what nature had to offer. right other than that.. i ate too much during the weekend. not good. back to 80. it's a bloody big yoyo. i don't care any...

[EDIT]: extras: Nana: Wherever you go.. However lonely you get... No matter how hard it is.. Don't forget... I'll be here, thinking of you. You're definitely not alone. Yano: "It all equals out", was it ? nana's flashback: Yano, you may not have someone left who you really, really love.. ..and that might be a really sad thing for you, but ... because therea re people out there who really, really love you, shouldn't it all equal out ? So... please don't think you're all alone. Yano: It didn't. ... It didn't all equal out. It ended up more than equal.. on the positive side. Ever since I met you... ...I feel like... ..the reason I've lived was to meet you...

bokura ga ita finished.. i just finished the second last episode. never knew those sob stories make sad.nostalgic.feelreallyold. :P i dun wanna grow up.. man... 17 years old seemed really young back then.. OMG... no use crying over spilled milk or lost time they say .. muahhahaa. by the way i am writing, i KNOW i got nothing to say but i dun want my life to be empty memories of 12 hour programming... so here i am writing. i'm up to lesson 5 of the german language. it seems that my friend taught me to say i got a small d*ck. something about ich haber klein something... can't spell it.. cos i'm only learning german using phonetics. or rather like listening to 30 mins of the mp3 b4 i fall asleep. little by little i'm gonna be able to use the german language. muahahah. i did japanese the same way .. but too bad can't practice it. foo chow was done in secondary school. mandarin in high school. hokkien and cantonese in college. hakka is father tongue. didnt find anyone wh...

that's it la... death of the blogs are everywhere.. what's the next thing in line for the internet ? hehe. anyways, to keep myself busy, i've been coming up with a new project. i now have a free webhost at www.phpnet.us. which incidentally is where i'm hosting all my top picks. i've come up with an idea of top 10s picks. well.. basically it's my collection of top 10s. top_picks.phpnet.us as i don't have any design sense.. my sites are usually downright UGGGLYYY.. anyways, hope i can see more of these things in days to come. i worked myself 16 hours on sat to get the framework up. i didnt go to the supermarket. cos still got lotsa food. :P on friday nite i finished work at about 1030pm. had a drink with my friend. then went home. geeez... the drink never felt so good. :P next week i foresee myself as busy as an ant. might not have any updates as it's all work work work. and no play. WoW is no more fun as my friends in msia can't wow due to the BAD co...

right.. it's been toying around in my head for quite some time now that i can't get the f/22 stop on my canon s3 grumbles.. so here i'm deciding to get one of those said above. point is that i've read reviews that says canon has sharper clearer photos and nikon has softer stuffs. for me.. i think sharper images are better.. because if a little fuzziness on the nikons er.. it's just in the namesake maybe.. maybe they are all the same. my sis is moving from the states to aberdeen on one of the coming months, so i thought i'd get her to buy it from the states. but i'd have to get it soon. b4 jan 18 or 20 as the delivery will take at least 5-1o working days or something.. or i could always pay for express delivery. then it'd only arrive in the UK when she comes and i go visit her. here's the clincher to those 2 cameras or rather my thinking. pros for nikon it uses SD memory cards.. which i already have 2 X 1gb. the kit comes with 18-135 lenses. much bett...

hmmm that's the longest i've gone without updates. anyways no updates today unless i find time to write sometihng on notepad. note: i got a bad habit. i like having like 3 hours sleep every time after a long holiday or a weekend. i.e. i slept at 4.30 am last nite cos i didnt want my holiday to end. bah humbugs.
