food court in plaza oxford street, london

first time i've ever actually eaten in a food court in london.
as usual, lunch time nowadays is pretty much boring. it's either tesco's, coffee bean ( bears no resemblance to the coffee bean franchise back in msia or anywhere else)
McDonald's on Regent St( eat mackers also much be high class :P), sometimes subway in front of the westminster uni on charlotte st.
ocasionally, the chinese buffet place down great portland st.
we've always wanted to try villandry take out. but then at about 6 £ per pop with drinks and all doesnt seem all that cheap. ( it's comparable to the chinese buffet though)
ANYWAYS....
we walked towards oxford circus and then still couldn't think of any place to eat. then since it was on the way towards burger king on tottenham court road,
somehow my colleague turned in plaza oxford street, or oxford street plaza or whatever..
in there was a food court which i knew existed but have never tried anything there.
but after so many years of eating the british way, this place felt so much like home. lol
being with a good number of stalls lemme see if i can remember them
there was pizza hut, KFC, McDonalds, some quzsub or something like that, and some stall that sold jacket potatoes, some sandwich shop.
the thing that made me feel right back at home in was the fact that we had so much space around the table.
it's not cramped like those chinese buffet shops, or the KFC down beside goodge st station.
and most of all it had like a few varieties of food to eat all about the budget price of 4 or ++ .
anyways, today i overshot a little bit cos KFC wicked zinger meal was £4.29. but i spent like £3 yesterday so i had a little leftover. :P
well for once i didnt feel alienated in a food court.
usually the food court is a place where cheap food are found. but then because of the pricing, almost all the shops in london have the same amount for lunch meals.
it varies from £3-£5 for the average, and more for the above averages.

of course the food wasn't as good as the food we have back home.. but then it's a change from buying stuffs and eating back in the office.
that's it for today.

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...

i hate my kindle

- reason being i can't put it down when i start a book. and it doesn't make it any better that i can put so many books in there.. OMG.. i can just continue reading.. so far i've used the kindle for like 2 weeks ? or maybe a week.. since i hate it.. i'll say only the bad things i can find about it.. 1. erm.. when eating do not read. - makes it hard to wipe the oil stains off. nothing a cloth wouldn't wipe away. or maybe the hem of your shirt. 2. to jump flip the pages is a little hard. it's made for sequential reading. 3. dictionary is a little hard to use.. it doesn't let you highlight the word and checks it in the dictionary. 4. collections.. i have a few books which i loaded on it. but to actually navigate through them takes some time as i can't seem to organise my books via any book management tool. meaning they can't group the books by folder. kindle just shows everything in one big list. 5. it looks so cool that most of the time when i am readin...
