continuation from sat.
just some photos to appease myself when i look back in time.
it looked cool. but as usual, a hotel in the middle of the city .. is just a hotel. :D
right, yesterday was one of our colleague's last day of work. he's going back to aussieland. went for a drink.
this time was really a drink. cos somehow i have days when i can drink and days when i can't drink.
so this was one of those days that i can't really drink. the beer don't go down smooth. they taste weird when it's on one of these days.

so i had one kronenbourg or if that's how to spell it. went home. ate food.
on the way home, i heard a loud pop in the middle of the street.
didnt care.. then reached home. watched ghosthunt till 3 am. -_-"
( i can't sleep when i don't know how to kill the ghost or kill the monster)
same goes for reading horror stories. i remembered when i read stephen king's IT when i was 18, crap.. i couldnt sleep till like 5 am cos i had not finished the book.
well i did finish it at 5 . and had to wake up for school at 6. -_-
again, if i didnt know how to get rid of the monster, i don't sleep lol.
i think i've read alot of stephen king's books back then. i hardly ever read now.

that aside, today woke up, got ready, fixed the flashlights, and the brake lights so in case i go home today i will have new batteries in them.
then suddenly i noticed that my bike was looking a little bit funny. just when i was about to wear the bike clips and stuffs.
my bike had a puncture. it was flat. i guess that was the pop sound that it made last nite while on the road.
so much for kevlar tyres. bah humbugs. switched bags. jeans.
( i switch jeans cos i wear cheap jeans to cycle cos the seat of the cycle is all torn up and i'm lazy to buy a new one to change it.)
(i change bags cos the one for cycling is all dirty. ) :P
so i went to top up my oyster, found out the last time i topped up my oyster was on the 2 of may. i top up each time for a fiver. cos i don't use the card much.
so then i made my way to the bus stop which was about 3-5 mins walk away.
in the bus, i sat on the bendy bus. and suddenly i smelt like something died in the bus. i thought it was coming from me. but i knew it couldnt be because i literally doused myself in hugo b4 i go out each time. lol
well.. not exactl douse. i smell myself. but it wasn't me. then when i got off the bus at camden sainsbury. it turned out it was the weird guy near the door. he smelled bad. like rotten fish. ugh.
i was glad to be out of the bus. waited for the next one.
well.. that's al for now. back at work. reworked some plans. since i got the pass today, i'm going to go some window shopping or something. i brought my camera along not sure if it's gonna be used.

had buffet again. apparently the place where i go for buffet, the lady is from msia as well. serdang to be exact she told me.
well. i donno how to tell her that i wasn't exactly from KL. but my colleagues were waiting outside the restaurants for me. so i spoke quickly and left :D
as usual, she said she didnt know i was chinese and thought i was vietnamese cos i looked too dark.. i swear somewhere my ancestors had some not chinese blood. lol. she said i look dark.
OMG... i'm fairer than i used to be. and even so she said that.. anyways, dunno if it's a blessing or a curse. but best be the blessing :D
i wonder if those vietnamese will notice that i look like them or not.
al in all . not too bad a day.

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...
