it time for random pictures again!

i uploaded these into my laptop eons ago, but was to lazy to upload them into flickr and onto my blog. and what better time than when im supposed to be studying for my upcoming mocks! wtf

Image015(1)
i was walking to bayswater when i saw this van/truck.
ok, am i the only one who thinks this is funny?

Image018
my first ever attempt at making tamago! (val, stop laughing at me T_T i know you are wayyy more pro.)
btw for those of you who dont know what tamago is, its japanese egg ommelete. the yellow sweet thing usually wrapped on top of sushi.

its no beauty queen, but it being my first attempt and using a round saucepan instead of a rectangular one like you're supposed to, i'd say this is pretty good! =p

Image082
i mentioned awhile back that i was bringing bentos to college, and this is one of them!
the only bento i ever took a picture of actually.

Image083
summore got tauhu hidden!

so super derduperly healthy right!

speaking of healthy, im in the midst of a bet! if i win i get an itouch/ sponsored half the price of an iphone. if i lose, then i just dont get it la. haha...

the bet is that i have to lose weight till i weigh 48kg by april! something i've been trying to do anyway (not with this time line, but the sooner the better!).

the stakes of the bet speaks volumes of how confident the person is about me losing T___T

Image095
i love staying next to paddington station! not only because its soo convenient, but also because interesting things happen there!

once in awhile we get people doing demonstrations such as this one.

Image348
summore got the cement mixer thing! so realistic!

can you guess what they're doing?

they're demonstrating against fake medicine (duh!).

Image349
randall and aubin.
best seafood place i've been to in london!
(and possibly ONLY seafood place. but lets not detract from how great it is ok?)

i had been craving seafood, so after an intensive scan of online reccommendations and reviews, i chose this one. and no regrets!

Image350
free bread and olives... or so you think, until you see the bill.

Image351
view from the window.
the restaurant is located in soho btw.

for a good long minute i thought that the sign said soho books. then thought to myself that it didnt look like much of a bookstore what with bondage-ish mannequins on display (you cant see it from this picture). a minute later it hit me that the sign said soho boobs -__-"

Image352
the semi-famous frozen yoghurt store.
i didnt like it the first time i tried it, but i gave it another chance, this time with agave nectar as one of the toppings to counter the sour taste, at it was yummehhhh~~~

Image353
ok, back to the restaurant. they prepared all the seafood fish market style. meaning right there in full view. one could learn alot about seafood just watching them.

sorry, no pictures of the food (i had a heavenly lobster). we were so hungry, i gobbled everything down and only remembered about taking pictures when my hands were wrist deep in lobster (not literally la! what kinda giant lobster is that!).

after seeing me eat, my friend whom i was eating with told me i should never eat lobster on my first date. totally turn the guy off because i eat worse than a male. wtf fml

Image354
carnaby all decorated for xmas!

Image355
really really beautiful and magical :D

Image356
where's wally?

while we were walking down carnaby street, a whole horde of wally's walked past us! some even had the cane!

i got so excited i just stared at them, wanting to drink in the unusual sight, that i forgot to take pictures until they were nearly all gone! T_T

Image357
my first ever onigiri!

Image358
the little triangular lump smothered in seaweed was the leftover rice.
i forgot what filling i used. salmon i think.

Image359
worst asparagus ever! freaking yellow and wilted ok!
dont ever go to scotch steak house.

Image360
my biggest attempt at dolling up in a looooooonnnggggg time.

Image361
i curled my hair, pinned it up, put on a cute outfit, wore contact lenses, did my makeup... the works.

Image362
must take more pictures because i have no idea when is the next time i will bother again.

usually when i go out, i just wash, tone, moisturize and comb my hair. to hell with makeup and contacts. wtf

im camwhoring with jo's mirror because her mirror is way convenient to camwhore with and i think the lighting's better. haha...

Image363
all made up. but you cant really tell. its called natural ok!

Image365
so amazing right my photographer... managed to cut part of both my feet and head off
-_-"

if you're wondering about the hair, it was a sort of experiment. i wound up little sections of my wet hair and pinned them up. then i tried to set it with my hairdryer. the end result was frizzy curls. looked better than it sounds =p

Image366
with a sweater...

Image367
and a jacket on top of the sweater...

not counting under garments, i had 4 layers on!
and i love layering ;)

Image368
in the lift still camwhoring...

Image369
best pimms i've tried so far!
i like it because it doesnt taste like alcohol at all! =p

Image371
sorry, the bread was too good.
fragrant and warm. complimentary bread that is so delicious is rare!

Image372
i forgot what seafood this was... either mussels or scallops. anyhow it was deeeelish!

Image373
foie gras!
my first taste of it! i quite liked it, but after while i felt jelak :S

Image374
duck

Image375
lamb

we ate at savoir faire. it came up on google after i typed "romantic and cheap restaurant in london". LOL

for the food we ate, it was really reasonably priced! forgot how much though... =p

Image376
at paddington again!
i think they were trying to raise funds for something.

Image377
my filling fell out a few months ago, so i bought this to serve as a temporary fix. it works, but falls out in about a week, so i have to keep redoing it. luckily, there's plenty of stuff in the bottle! sure the bottle is tiny, but the amount i need for a filling is puny!

i really dont want to go to a dentist here. the last time i had my filling done here, it cost close to 50pounds!

Image378
small funfair at i-dunno-what-this-area-is-called.
its close to chinatown.

Image379
i didnt mean to take the truck. i was aiming for the merry go round -__-"

Image380
dress i saw at jane norman and adored.
but i didnt buy it because i already bought...

Image381
this!
i got it for 15pounds at a sample sale. loves it!
(i told you jo's mirror was more convenient)

i can wear this for CNY! =p

Image382
sushi buffet with jo, leonard, billy and natalie.

Image383
the buffet worked in an unusual way. you ticked what you wanted and they would serve an amount that they estimated for the amount of people you had at your table.

i had never eaten so much sashimi in my life! jo and nat didnt really touch the sashimi, so it was just me and the two guys devouring it.

the annoying spotlight was from the lamp above us.

Image384
jo gave this to me.

Image385
custom printed.
i feel the love.

shaddap sardine. at least I got a shirt. wtf

super brief summary of trip

it snowed on the very day i left for malta. in the bus on the way to the airport, i watched the snow drift down and thought it very fortuitous that i managed to evade the snow just in time.

however, malta was a huge disappointment. and the cancellation of the return flight didnt help matters. a last minute flurry of finding a room for the night ensued. the room sucked. no wonder there was a room available at last minute. no one else must have wanted to stay there.

malta itself was beautiful and the people friendly. however, unlike venice, it doesnt have many shops that sell kitsch and unique souvenirs that you wont find in other cities. so it meant that after sight seeing, there wasnt anything to occupy your time with. we took an hour long ride to golden bay, just to take pictures for 5 mins then turn around to wait for the bus to head back -_-" there was nothing at golden bay. just a beach, a hotel and a cafe. nothing to see but the sea. we couldnt even do any water sports because the waves were too strong. there were only TWO people on the beach.

there wasnt anything in malta that captivated my interest or compelled me to return. the only particularly nice thing about malta was the scenery. the sea was such a gorgeous blue, none of the pictures i took could do it justice. i also liked the way the buildings were arranged. it reminded me of tamadun indus because one of the special things about that civilization was the neat arrangement of the buildings ;)

nevertheless, like rome (hot and boring, its redeeming factor being it's gelato) , its a city i dont hope to return to.

i guess a conclusion most would come to is that i have no or little appreciation for scenery or buildings. that is partly true, yet also wrong. i DO think markets and variety of food (btw, the food i ate in malta wasnt that good. sure there was a lot of seafood, but nah, nothing memorable) are more interesting, but i also admire the sheer beauty of oxford city (love the sprawling fields and quaint architecture) and venice (the canals and how everything is connected).

***************

in case i dont blog again before christmas, i wanna wish all of you a very
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

sssshishaaaa

did i mention that i'll be going off to malta for about 3 days? well u know now =p

been to two house parties with a break of one day in between. and thats enough partying to last me a looong time. boy am i aging!

shisha-ed all night for the 2nd one. non-stop from about 2-5.30am. was really worried about killing my throat, but thanks to the bucket loads of h2o i drank, my throat was fine save for a little itching.

i'd nvr shisha-ed so much before, so i guess u could say this was a pretty big step for my throat and lungs. i only did shisha about 3 times b4 this and less than 10 puffs each time. so managing to keep going for so long impressed myself quite abit. *wink*

but then again, it could be because i mixed the flavours myself and it was crap, so it wasnt potent. hahahahahahahahaaha
eh, but not bad for a first timer (i mean setting up the bong) ok.

hmmm... not gonna say much else now coz im heading off to bed, but i have a rant about pauls to type out... if i remember.

wishful thinking

so its december again. and by the looks of the lights at oxford street and the throngs of kids and families at hamleys, it looks like xmas cheer is all about!

im really supposed to be doing my legal research assignment, but i couldnt resist a little online browsing.

and so as i browsed, i composed a wish list of the things i saw. note that this is a very wishful wish list =p

white sliver sequined dress
white and silver sequined dress from boohoo.

i've been eyeing this dress ever since it entered the collection nearly a month ago, and at 20pounds, its comparatively cheap (pound-wise).
but honestly, i dont really have any occasion to wear this to. and i have at least 2 other pretty dinner/party dresses still hanging unworn in my wardrobe. but it doesnt stop me from looking wistfully at it everytime i receive a boohoo newsletter T_T

jimmy-choo-for-hm
jimmy choo for h&m (i want the shoe on the left)

at h&m prices, a jimmy choo is a bargain. and i dont deny how very gorgeous i think it is.
but look at the height of those heels! and where will i wear it to??? im certainly not gonna traipse around the cobbled stones of london in those ankle traps. also, i have around 15 pairs of shoes already! and those are only the shoes i have in london, not counting the ones i have in malaysia...
besides... they're prolly all sold out already.

asos mac
asos mac

i just love the shape! plus i have nearly 10 coats and jackets already, but no mac! on the other hand, having said that i already own so many coats and jackets, i have no use for a mac. but isnt it just so tempting?? T_T

too faced
too faced "glamour to go" palette @ asos

im loving the shades of the eye shadows and at 13pounds, it is comparatively cheap for a "too faced" product.
but i already have soo many cosmetic products, there is no way i will be able to justify buying this. plus i hardly ever wear makeup -only for special occasions or dinings T_T

babydoll top
Full Circle Print Voile Babydoll Top

normally priced 50pounds, now selling for 18pounds. there really isnt any reason i should hold myself back right?
my bursting wardrobe says otherwise :(
packing to return to malaysia is already gonna be hell, so what is one more top right? right??


babydoll top back
and look at how cute the back is!

but with the temperature constantly dropping, when will i ever get to wear it??
*sigh*

i just realized that this must look like a really strange wish list. usually ppl just state why they want something, and not the reason why they dont just go out and grab it for themselves. oh wells, im cheong hei like that. but the reasons that i listed for not buying the items, in no way detracts how much i long to possess them!

and oh ya, this is not an exhaustive wish list. but i have work to do now, so dont be surprised if the next time you visit my blog again, this list has tripled. wtf
