happy day

i am so excited. guess what.....

i got my hand on an antique copy of uncle tom's cabin and dombey and son. there's a copy of david copperfield as well but i don't much money to spare. sigh.....
also i got a pair of glasses.



isn't it cool? if i deduce it correctly, this is made in circa 1920s, or earlier. although this type of frames come into production in the late 1890s, but those were mostly oval instead of round. anyway, this frame is in a very good condition. not very good but still fit to be worn. but will have to change the lenses. the previous owner's left eye's lens is really thick. though the right eye is fine. i wonder who the previous owner is? is he or she dead yet? 
can't wait to change the lenses and make a few touching up.

burgers

one of my flat mates just left. so the two of us are left with no cook. for dinner tonight, we had 6 burgers from burger king. quite sad, no? 

anyway, i've just watched bolt. the cartoon is about a delirious dog bolt, a pitiful cat mittens, and a obese hamster rhino. it wasn't bad. though i find somewhat similar to the truman show. hmm... after thinking through, i find it a bit boring and too predictable. no, don't like predictable shows. they bore me. 

ok i'm bored.

44 hours benchmark

over chinese new year... i've reached another benchmark. it started on saturday, got up in the morning at about 8am. i can't remember what i did the whole day, probably just lazing around house. we had steamboat at night and play mahjong till the next day. non-stop whole night. we had two pots, 1st the clear soup kind and other, the spicy one. had lamb, beef, chicken, fish, and some balls. just over this weekend, i've learned another new type of mahjong. so in total i know how to play 3 types of mahjong. hongkong, wuhan, and changsa. at about 11.45am on sunday, i got out to meet up with chuin and jhuen for lunch. 
instead we had lunch, early tea, and late tea. we had jap, relatively big portions, then frozen yogurts, and some yau char guay with  cy's tau fu fah. chuin had a nabe something noodles, jhuen had some salmon, while i had beef. we ordered uni on the side and i had green tea ice cream. nice lunch. took a stroll to make our way down to piccadilly circus. there's a new shop, the national geographic shop. interesting things but really over priced. had tea and yogurt and decided to have chinese yau char guai. so we switch shop. and then with the 2p machines. they are some what persons that we call professionals, and if you only see what the 2p machines reduce them to. hahahahaha. we lost approximately 3-4 quid to the 2p machines. we disperse at about 6 or 6.30pm. they left for home and i made my way to caledonian road tube station. my mates were 45 minutes late so i had to stand in the cold for 50 minutes. stand, there were no seating and no shops nearby. oh yea, ning was so sweet, sending us texts. with jhuen last on the list and me on top of the list. oh yea, does anybody know who does 0164911517 belong to? i lost all numbers when i broke my phone. 
after picking me up at about 8pm, we head of to the karaoke place. didn't leave until 3am. throughout it, i was tired but kept on going. with some small amount of alcohol, it got really demanding. but i made it. we continued the steamboat and played mahjong again when we reached home. i didn't get to bed at least until 5.15am. that was the end of the 44 hours streak. 
another surprise was i didn't sleep for 12 hours. i got up at about 3pm monday. went out for late lunch and we to a friend's house to play mahjong again. we left about 11.30pm. slept at about 12.30am. and now here we are.
i've been playing a lot of mahjong lately.

hard disk full

i've just deleted more than 15 tvb drama series and a few movie files. sigh~ don't have enough storage space to keep them all. just keeping a handful that i like. 500GB external hard disk is definitely not enough. but it's too expensive to get another one.
