London
9.12.12 sunday
I was browsing in Chinatown yesterday , a Saturday, which just goes to show how disorganised I am because Saturday is a busy day for grocery shopping and it would be crowded. Not a good day to go there if u want a leisurely shopping experience.
I was at see foo in lisle st, and saw their frozen white fish (from Thailand) is £3.50 a kg. but saw the queue was so long I decided to come back another day. Their thin rice noodles are the cheapest at .95p.
Then I went to the big store in Gerard st, and saw their frozen fish was £3.19 per kg. that is cheaper. (glad I did not buy it at see foo)and their frozen fish balls 200mg is cheaper too at £1.50. I bought the frozen fish, there was only one pack remaining. I wonder whether that is the old price, and the price will rise for the new stock when they replenish the supply.
(Added. 10.12.12 Monday. I used one fillet for my dinner. I thawed it overnight first and then cooked it in the rice cooker along with the rice. I put finely sliced ginger, garlic and Chinese chives, thin slices of chilli, and a dash of black soya sauce. Delicious. Had enough to share it with simon even.)
I think I shall buy the frozen fish from now on, rather than the fish balls as it is really so much cheaper than the fish balls. Fish balls are processed food that is why they are so expensive per kg. and v salty too.
Even Tesco and sainsburys sell frozen fish basic range at £3.80 per kg. so Chinatown is better value.
I am watching alien resurrection on tv now , (multi tasking don’t u know); and this scene is a underwater one, and I marvel at how long they can remain underwater holding their breath for so long, and everything is so well lit, so we can see everything, and also I marvel at how they can see underwater without glass goggles. We all know that everything is blur if u try to see underwater without glass googles.
There are so many flashes of light in these scenes it must be fit inducing.
I thought I have seen this movie but it is new to me. So I guess I must have missed seeing this particular one before.
(added. Did not see the film to the end as I switched the tv off as I just got bored with the films and programs on now.)
Anyway, back to my life haha.
It is a happy way of life, my life. Though not much is happening.
I was earlier today, Sunday, volunteering with a charity that provide hot meals to people in need. These people are suffering hiv.
(Actually, I read a blog in wordpress by a guy who was describing his life being hiv positive. It is a very moving blog, as he writes well.
