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

of brussels sprouts and racial features.

brussel sprouts are in season i think. they are going for 1 pack for 52p. it used to be like 1/4 of the pack for £1. but now seems to be cheaper. oh yeah. it seems to be siu pak choi. but it just didnt opened. anyways, that nite i went to morrisons, to buy more food. but when i walked halfway i found out that i didnt bring my wallet.. ^$£"%$£^%$ but lucky i had coins in my pocket. all i had was 96p. how sad.. lol . i went to the store to look for nga choi. er.. whta they call them here.. i think some sort of beans.. they usually sell them for 45p. i wanted it cos i cooked chicken rice mah. but then they didnt have it. and they have mixed stir fried thingy which was £1.29. poor ole me didnt buy it cos i didnt have enough lol so i hunted for cheap stir fry vege, the sprouts looked like a cheaper alternative. well.. i bought it. cooked it ate it with chicken rice. next thing i knew.. i was down with a bloody cough. ugh.. lotsa phlegm. not sure how i got it.. but that aside, i've ...

living on a budget

£4 per weekday and £10 for groceries for the week. that's it's gonna be till sept. hopefully.. until i start to try shopping again .. -_- so far for the last few days has been okays. spent like £8 for groceries for this week. some beef, some chicken wings( which i completely finished during the weekend) which included half a kg of fruit and nut cadbury. today was 2 for £2 sausage rolls from tescos. nothing else happened. my friend's father died of lung cancer. i wish them condolences. it was so sudden apparently. but i have had no contact with them since i left KL/miri. i heard it from another friend who was in miri who msged me asking me about my blood pressure as he said he was scared now. i asked. scared of dying ? lol. anyways, it's best to be preventing than trying to cure it when it comes.. so i really have to switch back to no salt diet.. T_T kk that's it. season 6 of 24 was like erm... okays... it was basically a repeat of the plots.. hope that's the la...

today will be a bit earlier as i hvae something to say

. last nite went back. threw the rubbish outside the flat. i think the collectors come at about 8pm-ish. and was trying to think of what to cook. i contemplated against making fish fingers with salad. but it turned out my fridge died again.. i dun understand it.. it just turns off. grumbles. and then my salad went bad. so there's no salad to be eaten. and then i thought wth, lets cook spaghetti, then i washed the pot. and then suddenly realized that it was awfully quiet, and the water was running cold. GAH!! the heater was not working. and that would mean we ran out of gas. and the feller who tops up the gas ( we use a gas card) not in. so cannot cook anything. then i was thinking should i go out and buy food. then i remembered that i havent had rice in AGES. so out came the steamer. and + 4 eggs + canned tuna + half a can of corn. steamed rice + steamed eggs + the rest of them. finished it off. phew.. i wouldnt hvae cooked rice if there was gas. bah i guess it worked out all good...
