3 more books.

david gemmell's quest for lost heroes, and waylander
michael crichton Next.
david gemmell's books has a lot of old men and dying old men who were or are legends in the land of nadir, drenai or somewhat.
after i've read like 3-5 books of his. it has some certain similiarities. but then again . it's what keeps me spellbound to what he wrote.
it's inexplicably linked to the previous books but then it can be read on its own. so no biggie. but it would be nice to follow the storyline and the timeline on the novels.
can't give away much because what can i say... it's brilliant ! :P

crichton's next. read it yesterday. i thought it was gonna be something nice. but this book had some different ways of bringing the stories across.
it had like printed excerpts of newspaper, magazine clippings(fictional ? ) in the book.
and as well this one had a whole series of different storylines which combines to 1 singular ending which inevitably makes it interesting.
i find this book quite similiar to the discovery channel's 2057. it talks about the future of genes.
how they get patented and how it would affect our lives in the future.
humm... it's not as engrossing as i thought it would be.. too little action ..i think. my personal opinion it's almost too close to the truth.
but then again .. who knows what experiments run without the knowledge of the general public.

bah humbugs..
okays enough of book synopsis.
i packed.. and i found that i could only fill 1/4 of the backpack. LOL
fingers cross nobody looks at me funny.

today tube strike means i'll see alot of ppl walking home today or the buses will be full.
and it's gonna end at 6th of sept. hopefully everything goes back to normal though after that.

i cooked rendang and daging taucu yesterday. gonna last me for this whole week. yummy. i feel fat. again .

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
