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 min.... 20 min....
6. not sure if the waiting period is because of the chinese guy who was supposedly a researcher in IC but had no brain to use the internet to ask for information about the visa to visit japan.
7. i'm just being mean here. i'm sure he did try.. ( i'm giving him the benefit of the doubt)
8. anyways, after he left, the guy who was taking care of my case, gave me my passport with a 1 year visa. well.. not really much to say .. but the hassle of getting the visa wasn't very pleasant.
but i think it is better than getting from the US embassy or something.(not that i've ever tried)
but finally i got it.. i ran all the way back to my office. from the tube la..
anyways, this is one of the longest lunch i've ever took.. 2 hours ... T_T

last nite was a drinking nite in celebration of me being older. 3 bottles of irish cider magners, 2 tequilas and a walk have dinner in tuk tuk on compton st i took the bus home.
it was waaay too far to walk from there back to get my bike.. and i wasn't really very sober.
they sounded malaysian/singaporean though.. but since they spoke cantonese i deduced that they were actually msians.
hopefully me being drunk didn't affect that conclusion.

i'm good now.. all set. the yen is still going down.. 237.. -_-.

Mr. Kipling's Battenberg Cake. looks nice..

hmmm been so busy on friday forgot to update. will post 2 post to console myself today. to the cake. cake looks cute. but tastes horrible. maybe it was because i bought it cheap from sainsbury . it's original price was £1.29. but i bought it for 49p. cheap as i was. maybe that's the reason the cake tasted bad.. but the expiry wasnt till anohter 2 days time. :P anyways, it tasted like smelled like cough syrup. u know those red coloured ones. tasted okays. the outer layer is just icing erm or rather sugar.. no ideas waht that was but it was SWEET. then inside, just like the normal sponge cake. all in all.. i wouldnt buy it ever again. :P here are the pics.

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
