mood: happily full =]
listening to: nothing
watching: nothing

I am an idiot... o_O; Has anyone else realised this? I've been putting the date as August when it's Sept already (not in this entry though, cos I realised that... o_O) so according to my last few entries, I've been reliving the past month =3

Anyways, since I never got round to blogging about this, I will talk about my day in London, which followed a very exciting day at my friends house where we got stuffed, laughed, and had a chocolate fountain--yum.

So, I started the day off by waking up at 7:30. Yes, 7 freaking 30, on a weekend and during my holiday period. Shoot me, I say. After rushing myself and managing to catch the Megabus on time (it's cheap) I arrived in London (although like... half an hour or so later than the ticket said I'd get there, and Steven who was picking me up ended up waiting like... an hour >_<). It was actually the first time I'd ever been to London alone. All the other times I'd either gone to perform with the Southampton Phoenix Arts Group or went with my family.

So yes, mixups and more waiting occured, and we finally met up with the whole group. It was a get-together of part of the China crew from last year's Summer Camp, which, I must say, was absolutely amazing... every day was so fun <3

It was me, Zoe, Jesi, Ben, Steven and Alan =DDD We had much fun... spent practically the whole in Trocadero (arcade) and played games though haha XDDDD

Although, seriously, I don't understand what was wrong with me... >_>; half way through, I just felt so... lonely... x_x; I'd bought pocky--lots and lots of pocky--before we met up with everyone, so I didn't have that much money left and didn't really play any games in the arcade, which I guess was really all my fault that I couldn't join in, but the pocky was worth it!

But yes... =sigh=... I dunno, I felt left out. Half way through, when they were all going on the bumper cars, I went outside to get some fresh air... Well, as fresh as air could get in over-rated, polluted ol' London... Seriously, England is too over-rated.. I don't understand why some people want to come here...

The "sites" are horrible, the weather's worse, and everything is just so over-priced it's not even funny ¬_¬;

Although I'm glad I went out for a breather though. I came back in and bought a gorgeous dance fan. It cost me £5 (I haggled a little and got about 15-20% off or something) but I thought £5 was worth it, otherwise I would have haggled more. The lady at the counter liked me though, so yeah. It really was a lovely dance fan, and since I do dance, I can tell it was good quality.

It was light, easy to open/close, and very pretty. And blue! ^_^

It was a shame Ani couldn't come... but I knew she couldn't anyways cos she had to do something at college... =sigh= if she'd come I'd have felt a lot less left out, cos Zoe and Jesi are like the best of friends, so they did everything together, and then there was me =/

I'd have to say one of the highlights of my day was finding and buying pocky. They didn't have green tea flavour, but they had *so* many flavours of pocky I was just drooling... lol. They're so expensive though >_< But I still managed to get almond-milk tea flavour, normal almond flavour, black sesame flavour (<333333), strawberry with bits, and caramel flavour. Yum, yum.

And the second and probably biggest pleasant surprise for me was bumping into Chris and Carmen at the Trocadero... Seriously, I thought I'd never see him again since I'd moved, and it was so weird cos a couple of weeks or so before we'd had another coincidental meeting when I was visiting Southampton! That was so cool =D

I'd lost touch with them for *ages*... seriously, years, and all of a sudden, I see Chris twice in a month! And in London of all places =O They went ice-skating the day before and stayed over there with a massive group of friends. One of their friends was so good on the dance mat it was insane...

If I thought Ben was good, I hadn't seen *real* good... O_O; but then again, they're like... clinging to the bars at the back trying to get all the steps right on an insanely fast song with steps you can't even see, whereas Ben's properly *dancing* on the dance mat...

Both are very cool ^_^

Fun was had, and another brilliant highlight of the day was that we went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner! <333 Yum yum! And that was where I got my grass for my latest bentos from XDDDDD

Gosh, it was SO hilarious that day, I must say I spent so much time laughing my jaw hurt by the end of the day, but it was worth it. Ahhh, some of the stuff Steven said got us girls into such hysterics...

And at the restaurant, they gave us a blob of wasabi with our sushi... the others were like -get a little bit- and I was like -grabs half the wasabi-... we had to ask for more haha. They dared me to eat half the wasabi on it's own... so I did! And it was quite yummy too XD Steven was like 'right, keep it in your mouth for 5 seconds' and when he saw it was absolutely no trouble at all for me, he was like 'fine, 10 seconds.... 15... 20! 30! 50! One minute!' I was laughing at him by now and if I didn't swallow I would have choked, but the wasabi was actually quite yummy XD

And then Kloe (Zoe's sister) called! XD And pranks galore! XDDDD

Hardest part of the day was trying to get from one area of London to my bus stop in time... Steven and I practically ran the way back! (Okay more like I ran and he walked fast... darn that my legs are so short!!! >_<) And thank God I made it in time... =DDDD *JUST* in time, too... less than a couple of minutes later we'd left lol... I'd just collapsed as soon as I got on the bus ^_^;;

Yes... Such a very fun day cut so very short... but no need to hear me ramble so much ^^;;

Oh yes, some of you asked me how I got the stuff in the onigiris: Well, I had a heart-shaped cookie cutter, so i just layered it--the bottom with rice, some salmon in the middle, and top layer with rice too (and rice at the edges) ^_^ very simple =D

oh man.
i haven't had pocky in a long freakin' time. that stuff is delicious.

i've only been to england once... i think the sites are for people more into history... i visited tons when i was there. you're right, nothing too exciting. i didn't get to see any other scenes besides the tourist attractions... perhaps i've missed out. i'll have to come visit again sometime soon.

cheers,
sank

I'm not really sure, but yeah, they got the car back. That's all that really matters anyway, especially since he'll be going to college 5 hours away from San Diego.

The being logged off thing has happened to me to. But if I wanted to comment, there usually is a link that you can click that saids something like "if you're already logged in". I've also been getting "The baboons do not approve of your robotic tendencies" popup whenever I try to comment. I don't know why though.

My dad is a computer engineer so practically everything he buys is an electronic or electronic related. But its okay that he got me that.

It sounds like you had a somewhat fun day. I'm glad to hear that you got to the bus in time or else you might not be here to blog. How can you take that much wasabi? I can't really remember the last time I actually had wasabi. I do remember a time when I was little, though. I didn't know what it was and I wanted to try it. I ended up having to drink a huge cup of tea and it still didn't help. Oh well, I was little.

I hate losing touch with old friends but I'm just so bad at replying to letters and emails. :(

I've been seeing your blog lately on Blogmad and I was wondering, did you just join? Have you found another bento box that you parents will actually let you buy? Have you ever looked at Amazon.com? I think they give shipping for purchases over a certain amount. I'm not sure about that though.
» thisdisease on 2006-09-04 11:32:10

I really like spicy too but I like a certain type of spicy and that's curry. I don't really like peppers that much unless its in salsa.

Lol. Thanks for signing up through my link! Has anyone ever told you that you rock? Lol. Not just for signing up, though. You rock for that too but I just like love your personality. I could totally see being friends with you in real life.

xP. Sorry, I just had to post that because it always makes me laugh. Lol. Well, I hope it made you laugh too because laughing is fun and good for you! Lol.
» thisdisease on 2006-09-04 12:02:04

no bento?
Yeah... Nutang has some funny date issues. I like to refer to it as NST, Nutang standard Time, as dictated by the baboons.

Megabus? That sounds like fun.

Haha, it's rare that I'm up there this long. I can't walk slower, it almost hurts me to walk any less than my brain is running. If I'm thinking slowly, then I can walk slowly. If I'm stopped by someone who wants to talk to me, then it bothers me. If I stop myself to admire an animal/plant/something, then it doesn't. I'm an oddball.

Yaoi manga?! Why not yuri? :p I don't like fluffy manga, so I read a lot of shonen stuff. My boyfriend's gotten me into a bit of shoujo stuff, which makes me kick him, because I don't like fluffy things that much.
» ikimashokie on 2006-09-04 12:46:11

No thanks, the only HP I like is Hewlett Packard... :p

I don't have a problem with shorter people walking slowly, I realize their legs are shorter than mine, and they have to work harder to cover the same distance. When people that are twice my height are walking half my speed? And then I step on their ankles maybe three times? And they don't move? That's what really gets me.

:) If only there was more time in the world for sleep. But oh well. Walking around like a zombie is alright for now.

I'd love to be able to go to England. I think one of my aunt lives there. I'm not sure but I know that she lives in the UK.

Lol. My dad saids that buying books from Amazon is cheaper than buying it from a bookstore so whenever I want a book, I have to go there. Currently, its almost around $75 but they offer this special discount that takes like $45 off or something like that. I'm not sure because my mom still hasn't told me if I could get all the books I want. But I've only looked in the books section and a little in the jewelry section. If I actually spend more time on amazon, I bet my wishlist would be huge. Lol.

My ears are allergic to some types of earrings. I can't really even wear the types that are supposed to be allergy-free or something like that. But oh well.

I like the saying on your wristband. I used to wear one that said Hope and when you buy it, its a donation to some sort of cancer reasearch. I don't wear it anymore though. I don't know why, though.
» thisdisease on 2006-09-04 01:01:48

Lol. We all have our funny little moments that we look back on and practically die laughing.

I think I saw something about a phobia but I don't really remember. I have a horrible memory too! Lol. That's why I have to have one window to view your comment and another so that I can reply. Lol.

I like manga but I also like regular books too. I like them both equally. I tend to read a lot more regular books though because my mom doesn't let me buy a lot of manga.

I think I've seen the WWJD ones. I'm not sure though. I'm not really ever sure about anything I see. Lol.

For Blogmad, you get a credit for every blog that you surf. I sent over 135 credits to you sometime today. Don't remember when though.

Blogazoo works with credits too but its not as good as Blogmad because you have to surf 2 blogs to get 1 credit.

You almost have one dollar! Maybe you'll get $40 really soon and convince your parents to let you buy the bento box. Maybe, just maybe. :)

I'm confused....
...so you felt out of it, but it was stil really fun? Well as long as your jaw hurt afterwards you know you had a good time (unless someone punched you XD). Poor Steven...surrounded by you guys alllll day. Lol I can relate, jump rope often puts me in that position...

DDR (which is the dance mats you were talking about) is so hard! I've tried it a few times and I'm so terrible at it...despite me being half Asian lol. I'd pay for your game to see you get up and try it XD

"Yes... Such a very fun day cut so very short... but no need to hear me ramble so much ^^;;" Rambling? Nope, not on NUtang :)
