deers at nara park.
bought some biscuits to feed them . 150yen. well u don't have to look for them. they hang around the place where they sell biscuits. and when u buy one. the deers will come for u.
literally. they will try and headbutt u to give them the biscuits. i had about 6 deers around me. one pulled me by biting on my lowepro camera side pouch. lol. after u're done with the biscuits. they will leave u alone. even if u try to put ur hands out and pretend u have things for them. they won't come. lol.
use you and abuse u and then leave u. lol . the deers

was hungry while in nara. the other side of nara park had a pond filled with tortoises. and saw a small shop beside it. so asked for food. they gave me soba. 600yen ? didn't know what to do with the quail's egg. it was raw. so i just sucked it out. the soba it was lucky i watched a few movies about it. just dip in the soup and slurp it. it was cold soba.

arashiyama bamboo groves
note: i kept saying arashimaya which is technically sounding like takashimaya but in fact once i stop to think( i don't usually think ) about it. arashi = storm ? / weird ? yama = mountain. ( but i didn't see any mountains there la)

one of the photos shows an entrance to a graveyard. it was closed. i would have loved to take a look and see what it felt like being a japanese graveyard though. can't say i feel the same for the english ones.

another alleyway behind houses in arashiyama. and countryside as viewed from the train.

random photo of kyoto. tommy lee jones as the boss. ( oh i remembered i watched dr. doolittle where eddie murphy speaks in japanese. ho ho ho. no difference from the other eddie murphy speaking in french or german.) and watched a movie in toho cinemas, nijo kyoto. watched a japanese movie about law by takuya kimura and abe something( can't remember) named hero. verdict. cinema was very cool. but the show was so so.

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...
