Living in London

last nite was weird.. i couldn't sleep. i was too into my website and trying to make money out of it. i didnt realize that i wasn't that young anymore to stay up late and not suffer the consequences. which brings me to my thought of the day today. i am just biased against my colleague.. not only i find it hard to communicate with him. i find it unfair that a person who don't know much gets a Highly skilled Migrant visa but i am just plain outright jealous. therefore stating the fact that i never completed my degree in physics and microelectronics, i am just in utter contempt of ppl who has finished their degrees and yet know less than me. ** i'm partially drunk as i am typing this and i hope when i post this.. the next day i don't ever have to look at it again. okays. anyways, we had a dept lunch today. nothing fancy. just that the boss was away and he was one of the person i wouldn't really wanna call but then had to just to maintain a normal working relationsh...

monday - turkey breast & ham ( where the turkey breast is reconstituted meat) tuesday- meatball marinara which can be kinda messy because of the sauce but it is nice. wednesday - just turkey breast ( no ideas why so i guess wednesday is not a good day to go) thursday - the one and only Italian BMT. ham pepperoni and salami. delicious friday - the worse days of all to go to subway. ( to me that is because i don't really like to eat tuna outside as i have a lot of john west's tuna at home) sat - never did try it. not on a working day. it's a beef day. sun - i DID try this one which happens to be a sweet onion chicken teriyaki. but not on a sunday. so those are the subway specials of the day. i thought i'd just do the community a favour by listing out the days . :P tried all of it except the tuna and the beef. ( i eat too much of them at home) today i signed up to adwords and tried it out. oh the voucher came to me after i raised a ticket. now now i'm a proud owner...

I got myself a new host . but not planning to move blog. it's currently located at www.best-picks.co.uk . Amidst my enthusiasm in trying to get some money out of google, i placed google ads on my blog as well as since i have the little bit of know how on making the sites. so i decided to launch myself onto the affiliate marketing bandwagon. of course, this is currently done with my spare time. which explains my busy-ness for the past weekends and doing nothing but trying to figure out a way to do this properly. and finally i manage to do something. it costed me £32++. i tried looking around the net for cheap webhosting and because the site i need it to be targeted against UK users. i had to find one cheap host which has their servers in the UK. i didnt have to look very far. ( cos i wasn't willing to pay more than 200RM a year) i had a website b4 and it costed me about 300 RM which that does not include the domain name. this £32 netted me a domain name. which i thought was the ...

located in zone 3 servicing silverlink trains and bakerloo line. i had to switch trains in willesden junction to wait for the other train that goes all the way to the end of the line. anyways, the trains are weird. and scary. this photo was taken in the late afternoon/early evening on the tube. so anyways, i've been meaning to do this entry but i was just so piled up with work and such and as well as my internet at home wasn't working so there i go. but this morning my flatmate dropped me a msg on msn saying the connection is back.. wow.. it's like an addiction was satisfied. just the thought of having a shot of internet at home.. is like .. -_- okies. i've lived with internet for so long that i can't imagine how's it like being without a connection :P that aside, when i was in the station waiting for my friend to come, i looked around the station figuring out where on earth was this place. it was quite rural. unlike the station in willesden green. which when u ...

and i don't feel like doing anything until it get fixed. this is what u call withdrawal symptoms for internet addiction. lol basically because it's an unplanned outage for the broadband connection not sure what's wrong with it.. maybe my flatmate didn't pay the bill. or maybe somebody did something to it.. either way .. i'm mad.. i'm angry .. and i lost my internet connection at home. this brings me to my next item on my mind. 1. there's a job opening in japan by jobstreet msia. but then of course i don't meet the requirements of it... bah humbugs. 2. am i too comfortable in my current place. 3. what i am doing.. 4. too much idle time makes me think stupid things.. 5. i need my internet connection back. 6. i need my internet connection back. X infinity 7. okies. that's it for today. no mood for anythign else.. this is worst than having a girlfriend who has pms .. T_T

1. my phone never rings unless someone/somwhere needs something from me. ( i maybe exaggerating this bit but so far it's been true.) 2. stone bridge station is 1 hour 10 mins away from finsbury park station 3. damsels in distress makes me feel really bad.. that i would try to help them in any way i can afford to. T_T (that's why i say girls are troublesome). stay away from girls. thats my advice lol. 4. i am not very prepared for sudden happenings or surprises. they freak me out. 5. i like ample time to prepare for things so that i can be in control. ( but like the movie fast and the furious tokyo drift. if u aren't outta control .. you aren't in control er... maybe this isn't the best phrase to use here) 6. A BOAT ?????? WTF why the heck do they still wanna go on a BOAT ??? for goodness sake... is it that bad ?? *cries* 7. i have a knack for giving money to ppl i don't really know. which they say they will give it back. which up till now i never got it. but thi...

first time i've ever actually eaten in a food court in london. as usual, lunch time nowadays is pretty much boring. it's either tesco's, coffee bean ( bears no resemblance to the coffee bean franchise back in msia or anywhere else) McDonald's on Regent St( eat mackers also much be high class :P), sometimes subway in front of the westminster uni on charlotte st. ocasionally, the chinese buffet place down great portland st. we've always wanted to try villandry take out. but then at about 6 £ per pop with drinks and all doesnt seem all that cheap. ( it's comparable to the chinese buffet though) ANYWAYS.... we walked towards oxford circus and then still couldn't think of any place to eat. then since it was on the way towards burger king on tottenham court road, somehow my colleague turned in plaza oxford street, or oxford street plaza or whatever.. in there was a food court which i knew existed but have never tried anything there. but after so many years of eati...

booked. researched. and done. i know it's a little early.. but well... *shrug* day 1 to day 8 in tokyo with days dedicated to akihabara, shinjuku,odaiba, shibuya, asakusa,ginza & tsukiji part of town, tokyo disneysea(this which incidentally i need to find a partner or a group to go with. it'll be a little odd for a man like me to go there alone :P and i've got 2 and half months to find) these 8 days will be used with the suica card. ( same like the oyster card i hope) day 9 will be in hakone. (basically i chose hakone for the one day because it was on the way down to kyoto) and one day because i. i booked tokyo and kyoto's hotel before i booked this one in the middle lol ii. one day should have been sufficient but i wanted to try a ryokan experience somewhere near the hotsprings. iii. utilizing the 7 days JR rail pass which i have yet to buy. day 10-day 13 will be done partly in kyoto with 2 or 2 1/2 days in kyoto around those temples. and palaces and whatnots i...

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

a lot of my colleagues are talkinga bout their own houses that they just bought. it's like they are all at that kind of age already. and i will NOT drink again. because i found out that when i'm drinking .. i have a tendency to down drinks when i'm a little tipsy. thinking about it still gives me the jitters. last nite was 1 pint of carling. ( drunk slowly) followed by a bottle of magners - cider, ( which i chugged after some peer pressure :P), then i had another half of carling.. then i have no ideas why i picked that up to down that one. and then came the shots.. oh my ... we had 2 tequila shots b4 i almost got knocked out. i was pretty drunk. don't remember what i did except make a fool out of myself. :P then the last tequila did it.. so long story short ( which actually means i can't remember anything :P) i cycled home at 1030pm. i reached home. my neighbour was going out and she spoke to me in a very chinesey accent. i responded likewise. alot of slurring of th...

i hate losing stuffs.. especially at this age. and especially when i can't remember where i kept them. it's very frustrating. anyways, make me remind myself of my misery it started on friday nite. i cycled home. reached home. took off my earphones. dumped my ipod on the sofa. then forgot all about it till monday morning. and then this morning i panicked cos i couldnt find it.. note: i was too engrossed in sorting out my bank statements and mails ( i sort them once every 6 months) and made a mess of my room. back to the lost ipod. i searched on the sofa where my earphones was.. but i could see no sign of the little twat. he must have hidden himself or itself somehwere. so i went to work without my ipod. -_- that's it. came back trashed my room to find my ipod. after trashing it really good. and digging through my rubbish bin... and still no luck.. finally . searched the sofa again.. found it stuck inbetween the installation cds for world of warcraft packages i got from my s...

LHR - NRT RTN. damn.. i wanted to fly with virgin .. last min the website changed it to no more cheap seats.. niameh.. i checked and checked everyday from last month for those dates i wanted. first it was £570.50. then went up to £620. then back to £593.50. then today when i finally sort of decided on the cheapest hotel options for the trip and wanted to check the flights b4 i book the hotels... "^$£%!" that stupid fare no more.. virgin had the best time for the trip. 1300 hrs lon arrive nrt at 0900. just nice for the start of the day. sigh.. i panicked.. as usual.. i don't like changes... especially when i'm really eager to do something.. (which also turns me into a gaga if i found one girl i like) so i went searching for the cheapest flight and best alternative online. i thought it was just a mistake. virgin must have played a trick on me so that i'd buy the more expensive fare which was £894. arghh... anyways, i started searching in no particular order i searc...
