i visited Aberdeen ( technically)

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.usi left office at 5 on friday. rushed to Great Portland St. Station, forgot to top up my oyster. rushed to top up.
and then i went to the wrong platform. finally managed to get on the train to the airport.
found out that the DS Lite was cheaper there by 15£. UWAAAAAAAA -_-
next time if i am not going anywhere but i'm flying, i'll get it from the airport. geez.
anyways, she liked it. but she kept asking me to play it for her.
the plane ride was one of the scariest one i've ever sat on. turbulent and all.
oh .. b4 i got on the flight, i saw this girl about 18 i think.. can't really tell with these english/scottish people.
there was a huge fan blowing straight at her and her hair was like in the movies u know. ?? lol to top it up, she looked pretty. :P

anyways, that's just it. sat next to 2 middle aged scottish ladies, couldn't really understand what was said. just smiled and laugh when it was supposedly time to laugh.

flight to aberdeen on BA was okays. night time it had food served. but coming back it only had like tea and one measly cookie.

Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.usthe view in aberdeen was nice !! it was like totally being in the countryside. the plains were vast and i could see ewes, cows, and bulls. and horses.
other than that, didnt do anything much because it was about being with family anyways.
i visited costco, aberdeen AOG, matthew's food centre ( the only chinese shop in aberdeen), and the restaurant next to it for lunch.
walked in the mall(they only had one there). attended my niece's birthday party in build a bear shop.
the skies were colourful and it could be raining one minute, and sunny the next. ate at TGIF's as well.
hmm... what else..
nutting else i guess. ahh yes..with all these things i visited and saw..
Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.usi learnt that
1. never plan a kid/child/baby with a birthday that's close to any of the parents. ( kids always say it's their birthday) :P
2. i'm not ready to be a parent. (i admire those with kids. and still work. :P it's like where do they get the time to take care of their children)
3. private schools uniforms in aberdeen are expensive. imagine £100 for a coat for a kid. *pengsan*
4. NEVER go to aberdeen without a coat. ( i went without a coat thinking it was gonna be a summer weather kind like london which is about 22-24. but it turned out that it was really cold.)
5. i need to go back to see the rest of the place. ( it's easy cos i don't have to pay for accommodation)

right. here's to a start of a new week. ( too bad payday isnt here yet)

photos: sky from aberdeen( but they should be the same everywhere :P)
the coastline or the sea from TGIF's
and last was union street. shopping street.

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...
