Living in London

whatever.. finally it arrived to tesco express in great portland st. woot.. so last nite on the way home, impulse buy based on calculation buying 1 at £1.20 is less worth it than buying a dozen at £7.45. knowing myself to be a glutton at times, i bought more than i need. yum! finished 5 of them last nite. 3 this morning. and have about 4 left for tonite. bwahahhaa. alrighty. i got myself 38 months ++ . that's my plan. grind for another 38 months b4 i reach another goal. *grind = an action of doing endless repeated actions of boring nature. i.e used in wow when farming for materials. this time i'm applying to a real life situation. so it's gonna be a heck of a long grinding session. i've been neglecting to update. because i'm bored. because my life now consists of reading on the way to work. work. lunch. read. work. go home read. cook. sleep rinse and repeat. (i got 38 months to do this. lol) that's it . no inspiration to write.. no muse appearing. maybe the reas...

was looking at ways where i could try to ease my boredom as well as refrain from thinking of moving back home. i stumbled upon this. My spreadshirt shop anyways, from the last update nothing else has been happening. still the old same old routine. read fantasy books, work in office, sleep on the bed, animes for hobbies. wow pvp for killing. i need a solid 5 year plan. (so my plan now is to have a solid 5 year plan) ( i think the solid 5 year plan is gonna take a solid 10 year plan to complete the solid 5 year plan) bah humbugs. okies. enough said. until the next time i get the inspiration to write .

1. i cooked a little for chinese new year dinner. of course . where would be dinner without fish. ya know.. so i tried this swordfish i bought from sainsbury. thought i'd try out.. wah piang eh.. 150gram of it.. cos about £3.27. T_T. anywyas, fish is fish. i thought what can be so different from other type of fish. i chose to make it a japanese marinated grilled thingy .. and cooked it under the grill for about 20 mins. after it was cooked. OMG... when u eat the fish.. it literally MELTED in my mouth. hum.. okies.. i've never been a fan of fish because of the bones. so that's one reason i don't eat fish. no no.. it did melt. other fish u can still chew a little bit.. but this one..... it MELTED .. anywyas, it was nice to eat la. i had other stuffs as well, fried noodles, curry, some stir-fried greens, some eggs, some crabmeat ( those processed ones la.. ) and some icing cupcakes. too full. 2. i overclocked my old amd64 3000+. i had to do that because i was about to spen...

i browse for stuffs to buy. i am looking at a new cpu/gpu/mobo. and some extras gigabyte p35C-DS3R E8400 intel XFX 8800GT alphadog microsoft recluse keyboard. and a new casing. it totals up to about £500. now.. i don't need one.. i'm just hand itchy only. heh. never mind. not gonna get one. don't need it. it's like feeling of getting stuck in between here and there.. want to get but dun wanna get. but i am currently reading raymond e. feist's riftwar saga. it's a good book series. i like the stories that have rags to riches story. about a small boy with nothing and turned into someone big. hmm the other kind of stories i like is about epsionage. tom clancy writes pretty good novels for his jack ryan's series. stephen king for his horror/thriller. dean koontz too. david eddings write really funny fantasy books. ( well i did laugh out loud on some of the paragraphs ) didn't really like the discworld series. ( maybe i never read it properly.) neither did ...

excerpt of msn conversation weird guy 1: hello weird guy 1: gm *at this moment i've had it up to here.. ( please don't call me gm anymore) me: hi ! can u please not call me gm anymore.!! weird guy 1: ah gm= good morning **OMG !!!!! T_T i felt sooooooo cacat.. niameh.. come onla.. don't use short form that is not generally used around here la.. *** i think my face turned so bloody pink and blushed i bet a schoolgirl who was kissed by the person she admired couldn't have blushed as pink as i did.. so i put on a smug face and pretend i was still ok. me: ahh sorry my bad. ....... i damn prasan laaa ---___---". this has been happening so many times.. i thought what the heck is gm gm gm.. ( i use gm for grandma / general manager) and i only used it when i'm with relatives... ( i used to live with my grandma and my aunts and uncles will always say . u better eat rice properly else gm will scold.) so u can see why the damn culture shock when it was GOOD MORNING ! inste...

rolls royce of the hypertension drugs apparently. i was quite afraid it was gonna cost tons.. but lucky for nhs, it was only £6.85. weekend i bought, a jack lalanne juicer. some tv thingy. apparently it is made in china. and right. i was bored. that's why i bought it. and they are lying when they say i don't have to cut anything.. i tried putting the whole carrot in .. it spun and shook like the earth was shaking under it's feet. lol it was quiet. that i'll say . not as loud as others but still quiet enough. carrots stains the plastic almost immediately.. that juicer cost about £49.99. yeah i know.. that's too much to pay for a juicer.. i should have gotten myself a nice keyboard for that price. and then i went to the south library to get some books and the librarians there were talking about britney spears. --__-- cleaned my room. played some wow. read some books. ate some pizza. i guess tomorrow it's back to the bicycle for me after a week's long absence o...

right. just because this is a friday i'm posting this thing up. and also because i know i've been lacking in posting up memories. this was taken when my niece asked me to teach her about poker. myself ? i'm not a poker player and can never keep a straight face. but i do know some of the poker hands that can be used with poker. and thus the photo shows all of what i know about poker. nothing else. i woke up this morning thinking.. omg.. it's thursday .. i can't bear it anymore.. this has been a long week. imagine after a long holiday begining from pre christmas till new year's. where got mood to work la.. and so .. i've been sleeping pretty late from watching house. last nite i took and forced myself to sleep ..( otherwise i think i'mgonan be so tired that i can't focus my eyes on anything else) woke up this morning.. pretty good. it was raining.. and heavy too. i took a look at bbc's website for weather conditions, apparently it's gonna rain ...

happy new year. pre christmas and christmas i spent my time at home doing nothing and lepaking and watching house and some other animes. then i went to norway on the 29th. ... STILL no luck with pretty girls on airplanes. going there i got a free seat next to me.. so it was good. more space for me to sleep. coming back i got the double whammy. 1. i chose the wrong seat. window. 2. the other 2 seats were filled with one FAT HUGE man on the aisle and a granny in the middle seat. T_T .. 3. the worst part is that i was in a urgent need to go to the washroom. i had to hold it in till i got to the airport in london. ----_____---- okies. that was that. i managed to ski. 7 days of holiday in norway. quick recap. saturday 29th dec. 1st day . oslo was not snowing. took the train to vinstra then a bus to gala. tired after 24 hours door to door. sunday 30 dec 2nd day . went to the hotel climbed up some slopes to get to the hotel. VERY tiring.. and got lost after renting skis and after trying to sk...

not dead. :D so much for christmas !! bah humbugs !! LOL laters.

thursday 29 nov 530pm left work went to airport. bought the walkers shortbread. got ready to board the plane. MAS - must have been a crew in training. it was erm.. way below my expectation the service. to top it up.. i had to sit next to a BIG guy who was taking up the armrest space. and his feet was taking up my feet space. --__--" glad the flight was over. arrived about 30 mins earlier than usual. the taxi driver that brought me back was expecting a tip. i would have given if i had change. ( i'm not used to giving tips) sorry. i would have given it if i had change. next time remind me. mom cooked black soy sauce chicken and some hakka soup. ate and then got blasted by one friend who said why don't u come look for me etc etc. anyways, rearranged the schedule to go to mid valley around 10pm-ish. at 1130 ish got picked up by another friend in damansara uptown for snooker, jln ipoh dimsum, and DOTA ( my first time with it) ugh.. bad at dota. then went back home at 7 am sat m...

my suitcase is packed with biscuits. i bought them from morrisons/sainsburys/M&S. man.. i didnt know that biscuits takes up so much space in a suitcase. i need to get the walkers as well from the airport. apparently world duty free has a buy one get one free thing. 10£ .. not much cheaper than buying from the website.. but nevertheless it's alright. for the past few days i've been almost a little sick. i think must be the heater. dries up my throat. i dreamt of an old friend a few nites ago. T_T i dreamt i had a beard growing too. ( i'm not THAT hairy so this is a nightmare. )- due to the effects of watching dennou coil i think. nothing else to update. was too lazy to do anything else. met up with a friend for lunch on monday. went to this japanese place in centrepoint. but i think they are koreans. or maybe they were speaking some japanese dialect i've never heard b4. they had this thing pasted up on the door saying it was time-out one of the best place to eat. etc...

London Thames River. about 100 metres away from the embankment station. thought i'd try to take some photos of the night and river view with the d80 but i managed to get 1 shot off b4 it started pouring.. T_T.. anyways, updates, none. still waiting to go back. today had to wear the tightest shirt in my entire life. we had an event. and boss wanted me to wear the company's shirt. well everyone was wearing one. and then turns out that they only had the female's shirt left.. obviously when i wore it.. it looked like a tight t. T_T... and all the other guys made fun of me .. --__--". some even called me bacon. u're supposed to be fat.. but u're not. . ( lock stock and two smoking barrels. ) uwaaaaaaaa.. anyways, i supposed it was all in good fun. had a nice time. had a free dinner some snacks for lunch. and this is the second time i've worn a pair of trousers in london. and all my shirts aren't ironed .. havent touched them in 3 years ++ .. ahh those were t...

i have no interesting memories for this week i made myself a promise this morning that i wouldn't swear at drivers who aren't allowed to be on the road driving. but i broke that promise.. T_T. it just is like a bad start to a great day . anyways, updates, sat, sun - wow. wow . wow. monday work.wow.sleep.cook tuesday work.wow...oopps.. wow was under maintainence. so reading up on how to respec my rogue.sleep. today is wednesday. hmm managed to plan my trip back almost fully. that will include some snooker, jalan ipoh dimsum, a visit to lowyat, some groceries , some chinese medicated oils, some psp pandorising. meetup with friends. dental appt. that's about it. haven't been gaining weight.. so that's good. haven't been sleeping with my heater on. so that's good too. my room is warm enough. cement walls. sister is taking my old cam. my mom is taking my new cam. lol.

for a man to keep his mouth shut under fire. hmmm i guess that didn't go too well with me today. i kinda told my boss off ... T_T ( i told him i just got out from the toilet and haven't done anything yet.. he was expecting i've found the answer to life's problems.. -__-") please laa i don't mean to be rude to u .. but my space.. my time.. has been invaded .. i need space and time to work.. i don't do work instantly.. though sometimes i do work pretty quickly.. okok ranting time ... oh man.. i dunno la.. he was like every 10 mins behind my back asking how it was.. and giving more work when i haven't even finish thinking about the other problem. it's been like this since like i came back from japan.. i seriously don't care ? maybe not.. lol money is important.. and i'm not young anymore. so much so that i am very tempted to try to look for other jobs.. note the word try .. means.. haven't done anything yet.. because why.. worried about how...

okies. this is to make up for me not remembering what i've done for the past 2 -3 weeks. anyways, i'm still busy . don't even have time to check my email. sigh.. but that's only because i've been playing wow again. lol spent my whole weekend killing hordes.. interesting quotes from wow last week. 1. i got a raging horde on.... 2. *when rushing out from warsong gulch's BG .... scream THIS IS SPARTAA !!!!! 3. Rogues = yum !! quoted by a priest. lol apart from that.. nothing special. not doing anything..

more busy sat. shopping. RL polo linen shirt on sale.(selfridges) gap long sleeeves linen shirt on sale. + shorts(*gasp* i can't fit into a size 32 anymore..) (gap) esprit casual jacket. saw a marks and spencers coat for 130£. but the indian serving me was rude and presumptious. just because i was asking about which type of coat to wear during winter and would it be suitable for below zero and snow. he assumed i was here for the first time. *sheeesh* anyways, didn't buy the coat on account of the bad and lousy service from the guy. lol resubscribed to wow again for 3 months. not going to austria. after the umpteenth time calculating.. overused budget liaw.. T_T

busy bought my ticket to oslo for a week for year end holiday from expedia. because ba charges £3 for credit cards.. T_T just got home. nothing special happening. did i mention i bought a k800i for £98 from o2. price check in msia was RM800++ ? cheaper here. ( and i still don't use the phone as much) last paragraph, i need the winning numbers for the lottery. gimme gimme gimme

it was a good dinner and a nice drink afterwards. meeting up with her made me realize how much i missed hanging out with friends.(okok this isn't as bad as it sounds like). lol. and it't not that flattering to have someone remember u last as a person who was sick on the trip to singapore and then suddenly complained of rashes which turned out to be measles -_-' . but nonetheless, the meet up was greatly needed. so i don't get use to being alone. it was 7 years ago ? or maybe longer or ages ago.. can't remember... it was like from a different time. why don't i have friends here in london.. i find it such a bother to make friends.. or i've become so cynical of ppl or i've become more interested in saving money rather to spend money on social outings. to which the answer i don't really know. but one thing i know is that friends are wonderful lol. protocol for meeting friends ? hug when meet and cheek kiss when bye ? well i think that's the standard ...

that's what i did. ... not anywhere fancy. because a mail from my friend back home in the email cc-ed to a few friends of ours. the email contained words like that UK jerk not coming back for my wedding.. LOL and i had the whole day to think about it. should i go back or not.. i have about 8 days of holiday left. if i used up 8 days for going back to msia then how on earth am i going to go to austria ? geeez.. bought the ticket lor.. what else (today bank called me up .. say calling to check for fraud prevention... cos ticket to KL was £560 from MAS.)( okok. i didnt wanna buy from MAS.. but they had the best timing that suited my purpose. 10 pm leave london, arrive 620 pm next day. then leave KL at midnite. arrive 525 am london. just in time for work. ) anyways, made it 4 days holiday for trip back to msia . and another 4 days pre christmas for austria. now all i have to do is find a cheap place in austria for me. sister is going to oslo for new year's. i wanna go... i so wanna...

an influence from an email sparked my anger and in frustration i booked another long haul ticket. T_T and i accidentally bought the ticket. i tried stopping my fingers from typing. but it just went on by itself.. i swear i didnt mean it that way. anyways, this time it will also be a direct flight. so hopefully i'll get nice girls seating next to me la. now i gotta go collect that ticket. maybe next week go collect la.. somehow it feels like i made a mistake. but like when that enter button was pressed... i knew there was no turning back. anyways, no biggie. i'm writing this post because it's confession time. because usually when i do something not sane... i have to find someone to tell the product of my insanity to .. but.. seeing as there's nobody around i can tell... i've decided to post this. after posting this .. i'll feel alot better as i got it out of my mind. there we go.
