living on a budget

£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 last of 24.

it just doesnt cut it anymore.. it would be good if they came out with a movie concluding the whole of 24.

I don't think I can live on 10 a week budget. I get a few stuff from Waitrose and it's already like 9 something already and that's hardly for a week and no meat!! -_-

yeah. i used to make sure i'd spend only ten quid on groceries each week, too! but that's like, almost 10 yrs ago. ;P
moo: long time no see lol can't read ur chinese blog as well.
well that's because u shop from waitrose :P expensive place. i shop from where all the peasants and slaves shop. [morrisons]
*there's a pun intended if anyone from the supermarket i go to reads this as well*
but the stuffs i buy basically is for 1 person so that why it's usually enough.
meat, i buy cheapest meat like £1.50 for beef, and another £1.50 for wings or some diced turkey
then i will have enough for the week lor.

piffy : same laa... just depends on what u buy only mah lol :P
i basically can spend alot if i don't budget cos its like oooo i see that i like, i buy .. then turn out i buy too many too much :P
and note: wow .. 10 years ago ??

just kidding..LOL i'm only able to say 3 years ago .. cos that's the first time i set foot in england .

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...
