updates up till now.

I've been lazy these past few months. i've stopped cycling to work since i started karate. it's lucky karate is near to my office so i can walk there after work.
it's been good. though i've had some ppl giving me weird looks saying violence ??!!??
geeez... well i figured its more fun and better than going to the gym. so i paid 35 a month to join up.
it's 35 a year for insurance. if i don't do it now, i may never learn..

i got my materials from open university as well. i'm gonna start a course this oct. i need to find out how to study part time as well as karate.

i am planning to have a holiday every month for the rest of the year.
which i've already done 1 out of 4. this month will be the second holiday. now now, before saying i've got a lot of holidays, i'm still getting 25 days.
in comparison with msia, it's about the same some even less.
i get about 8 bank holidays a year + 25 holidays = about 33 days holiday

in msia we get about 16 days public holiday a year + 14 days holiday = 30 days. so it's not really bad.
sometimes in msia u get about 20 days holiday that would make it a whopping 36 days.. *gulps*

apart from that, my visit to oktoberfest in munich last month was pretty uninteresting cos i didn't drink alot. :P
but the girls can really carry their steins of beer. and it was BIG !!
walked till my legs went kaput. we were in munich for 5 days and stayed in hostels 9 of us altogether .. woot.. travelling with friends is so much more fun !!
munich, visited the schlosses. ..lol museums, BMW museum walked around, ate alot of pork knuckles. and the germans love their pork.. everywhere i go i see pork knuckles.
and surprisingly we didn't see any KFC in any munich, nor stuttgart. i wonder why only hamburg had it.
in stuttgart we visited the mercedes museum.
BMW = bavarian motor werks. ( the blue and white logo came from the bavarian flag)
MErcedes - the name of someone's daughter in spanish means grace lol

that's it for today .
i got hit at my left sides, thigh and body on monday .. and it still hurts today.

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...
