summary for the past few weeks..

It's been weeks now that i've not updated my blog. I've been not busy but a little occupied. Been moving house from south east london to north west london. Spent my last two weeks in london lying around the house doing nothing. Exactly what i've been doing for the past three years - A useless arse hole.
Shann shann arrived in london last week. Me and as picked him up from heathrow. This is the first ever flight that i know of arrives early to heathrow. It's ridiculous. That flight, MH4 to be precise, touched down half an hour early. He actually got out to the arrival hall on the scheduled arrival time. Hence, the poor fella had to wait an hour for us. The last time i took the MH4, i got out 2 hours later than the scheduled time. After that little wait, we went into central london for dinner. Guess what – jap food. I suppose whenever i go out for meals, it's always jap food. After dinner, we brought shann shann to soho. I went soho with a bunch of not adventurous people. Left with no action and a £60 ticket.
The following morning, we got loads of prawns for breakfast. And beers to go with the prawns for breakfast. What a life.
We set for oxford later on. Met up with fuisze and lipeng. Visit the university and had lunch at a jamie oliver's italian restaurant. I have to say, the food was disappointing. My steak was bad and so was as's carbonara. Before as and shann shann head up to nottingham and manchester, he dropped me back to uxbridge. By the way, i made lipeng missed her train and had to get a new ticket.

This trip back to m'sia is the first time i'm using etihad airways. Had to transit in abu dhabi anyway, so i decided to make it a stopover flight to visit shen shen in the desert. A city with nothing to do and few to see. Well i reckon one can shop all day if given the money. The culture in UAE is quite different. Interestingly, it's illegal to watch your car in public. Also, i don't really see women here being oppressed as bad as i thought. Apart from visiting a few malls, i spent my time there accompanying two stewardess watching tvb dramas. AS will understand where i'm going with this. Concerning the weather, it's preposterously hot. I think it was 38 degree on the first day. By the end of the first day, i'm half dead with a dreadful headache. The second day was much better though.
The flight was pleasurable. Partly because u know somebody who distributes the food and drinks onboard. Also i brought along a cup noodle. Dreaded plane food all this while.
touched down in klia on time.. and i rushed to lcct to catch the airasia flight.. all the rushing and extra baggage cost me bloody rm144.. i only had rm150 on me.. after all that, i hadn't any money to buy food... very bloody hungry.. with rm6, i bought a bottle of water - rm3... the other rm3 was enough for me to buy a donut.. A donut.. sigh~

and i realised the bus station curry mee soup is not as thick as before.. and it cost a whopping rm5..
