my embarrassment in the british library

saturday. it was supposedly a nice and sunny day. woke up.
got dressed. cooked fried rice cos i know if i don't eat b4 going out, i end up buying lotsa junk home to cook and eat or eating out.

got my batteries charged up for a photography taking session when i was at the british library.

took my stuffs. showered. ate. ready and took the bus down.

sat on the bus. the bus didnt go to euston station cos the bus driver said because it was st. patrick's day.
weird.. so walked from mornington crescent to somewhere along hampstead road. took a magazine from the BP station.
as usual the magazine was full of nice houses which starts from $400k onwards to £10 million.. man.. who got money to buy ..

but naw.. it's just me jealous of those ppl who can afford those kind of houses.
in fact, i'm jealous of all the rich ppl. damn.. i got some issues.. lol

right back to euston. took the bus to the library.
wanted to get a reader's pass. apparently i couldnt get it cos i told them i wanted to "look around". ROTFL.
cos me and my big mouth go tell them i wanted go look around. i should have said something important like i wanted to research on the effects of computer related feeds in relation to large datasets and warehousing etc..
bla.. i never went to school.. so i didnt know how to do that lol

in literal words of hers when i was there "I'm sorry. i can't give u a reader's pass just for u to go look around." ( lucky it wasnt an anime else i swear my face was REALLY RED. and dunno where to hide. lol)

anyways, that aside, i found out that i didnt bring any memory card in the camera.. so no photos for st patrick's day and the british library.

bah humbugs.
that's it for the weekend.

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 ...

A short history of my reading of books

I read 3 books on sat and sunday. some say i don't really read these books that i say i read because i read so fast that i can't possibly grasp the entire story. and some say stories are best read slowly and digested slowly. I've always been a person who rushes through most of the things i do. sometimes i take time and do the stuffs slowly sometimes quickly. kk. right now from saturday onwards, i'm gonna keep count on how many books i can read till i exhaust the feeling that i wanna read books. i started reading when i was 8 years old. i mean REALLY into reading. i spent one year living with my aunt back in sibu and while all my older cousins were studying and doing their own things, i sat down in front of the TV and watched the friday's cartoon. about a whale with special powers. ( this was usually met by my uncle with dark looks because i watch too much telly.) i read the whole childcraft encyclopedia. ( it wasn't hard because it was done in such a way that a ...

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...
