and so... i bought car.

honda civic 1.4 auto 1999.
and i think i got conned. but then i only paid 1k£ for it. apparently alot of ppl said it was a little bit expensive.
the car costed about 1k. @89k miles.
what i didn't know was some ppl are able to fake mots, apparently when i took my car for a full service,

or either that the garage i went to was chopping my head off for repairs. lol
i had to pay an extra 600 + 95 for tyres.
lemme see..
full service 165
the labour costed about 155
the exhaust middle section apparently they say is broken. 85
aircond service - 65
pollen filter - can't remember how much was this
wiper blades- apparently they said it was smearing
CV joint gaiter boot split - 85
2 bulbs - 2 ( they charged 11 £ labour for this.. omg)
i could have done this..

i can't remembre i got the invoice at home.. geee.

what they should have done was to say if oyu want to save money we can advise you which to change and you can buy the parts from us etc..

oh and tires i got the yokohama C drive from http://www.blackcircles.com/
i would have gotten them from http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk but the fitting centre for tyreshopper didn't do cv gaiter

so in total i paid about 1700 for the car.
and the body works still has a few dents and etc..

so i did get conned.
i think i wanted a car so badly i didn't think.( i usually do)
lol

lesson learnt.
just because i have some extra money doesn't mean i have to buy the first thing that comes along. lol

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...
