Happy CNY peeps!

so far, the CNY hasnt been very kind to me, but im still gonna be a trooper and be happy and positive. so there! sucker! muahaha! *childish*

bad stuff: i have a deferred disciplinary for my international law (dont ask me about this, i dont wana talk about this) and my tooth filling came out.

as for my tooth filling, it wasnt just a tiny chip that fell out, it looks like half my tooth fell out -________-
i cant live with half a tooth! so i shoved the filling back into place. wtf
but alot of it has chipped off, so its kinda loose now. i was afraid cavities might fester, so i took the filling out, brushed both it and my tooth, then shoved it back into place. wtf

now i need to find a dentist :(

ok, ENOUGH NEGATIVE STUFF!

i was actually very happy today and was gonna upload all my pictures and blog about my happy day, but that was not to be, as flickr decided to jam on me TWICE. so i lost my mood to blog a long happy post T.T

waitaminute, i said no more negative stuff!

let me tell u wad i did today! i took the 10.30am bus down to london n met up with stella. then we headed to portobello market and had lunch at a quaint little eatery there called "humble pie". it was yummilicious! or maybe its because we were too hungry... hmm...

after lunch, we browsed around the market, keeping an eye out for the famous hummingbird bakery. but alas, when we reached it, it was CLOSED. the horrors! this is the 2nd time i went to portobello market aiming to have the cupcakes at this bakery and this is the 2nd time its closed! the 1st time, we arrived at their doorstep just as they shut the door and turned the sign to "closed" T.T
then today, the sign said that they closed on mondays. but a separate sign said that they will open on mondays starting 2nd feb '09. wtf

disappointed, we continued our way down portobello market and found this lovely shop which sold an array of 'little miss' tshirts! this is unusual because most places only sell one or 2 kinds of 'little miss' shirts, but this place had about a dozen of them! even a 'little miss magic' that i had never heard of! i was tempted to get that one, or the 'little miss late' one, but i got the 'little miss bossy' one instead coz the material and cutting was better =p
summore there was a promotion, so 3 shirts were 20pounds :D
stella bought 2 shirts, 'little miss sunshine' and err... we were debating about which other one she should get and i cant remember which one she got in the end -_-"

another great shop there was FARA. it was a charity shop, so the stuff there was really cheap! i bought a working lady dress there for 6.50pounds! and stella got a shirtdress there too :)

and there was this vintage shop that had pics of celebrities that visited it on the door of their shop. the salesmen were extremely helpful and friendly, telling me the layout of the shop and where to find what, but when i saw the price on those babies, i was outta there! wtf
no wonder celebrities shop there la... only they can afford. wtf

hmm... i guess portobello market was considerably quiet today since it was a weekday, the next market i wanna visit is camden! :D

after finishing the stretch that is portobello market, stella and i headed to dinner at awana. stella discovered this place online and it had 50% discount if u ordered a main course and any side dish, so we decided to give this place a try and stella made dinner reservations.

in light of the 50% discount, we thought that the place wouldnt be that good, and had struggling business or something, thats why it had to have such a promotion. so we werent expecting much. but this place managed to totally blow our socks off!

it was delish to the max! well, the stuff we ordered were anyway. stella had a starter of sotong, then we both had laksa as our main, followed by my tapioca cake dessert.

it was soo orgasmic that i ordered 2 portions of tapioca cake to tapau.

i'll talk more about the food when i upload the pics!

the best part was paying after the 50% off :D

so if any of you are in london and crave malaysian food, THIS is the place to go to. but remember to check if there is a promotion before u go, otherwise this place is pretty pricey ;)

after dinner, we parted at the tube and here i am typing away =p
