I've offically turned down the job at BS! 2 things, pay.. they only offered me £3.5k more than my pay, making it not affordable.  2 social life! I have lack of it already and it will be more dire!

Good news! I got the job I applied for in Bishops Stortford! Will try to buy a place out there!   So much to sort out before August!  Eekkkk ... so exciting!

- Nice weather and Hens

Yesterday we went to Jenny's Hen night, a nice relaxing massage in a spa and a nice dinner in the hotel restaurant.  It was a bit expensive, but was a good day out.

The weather is so nice these few days., boiling point! We are having a BBQ today :D

-  Where have I been?

Highs and lows of the end of April beginning of May

As you may have noticed I've been very quiet in the last few weeks not
because I cannot be bothered, just cos I've been mega busy!

Weekend after the ash cloud disrupted my trip to TO I went to visit the girls in Bournemouth.  We had a brill time cockle picking... will post some photos.

During that week I went to the Europa semi finals home leg for Fulham and we won!! The biggest thrill for a long long time!!

Weekend after that we had Winnie and Alan's wedding... ermm.... Lets leave that convo for another day :S

Come this week... Wed 12th May, my bro and I set out for our European

adventure the final against Athletico Madrid! BUT.... It was not to be.. Fulham lost in extra time with 3 mins to go... but you know what? We put up a good fight and the ending didn't hurt so bad... now for bigger and better things in next season!

Bring on World Cup 12th June!

- All ashed out

Poor old me, after all the planning for Toronto my flight got cancelled. after about 6 days of stressfulness.... thing is they opened airspace after my flight cancelled, so... all the rest of the gang got o go to Toronto.  They arrived not long ago.  Very dissapointed and gutted.  As Martin was saying,  the feeling is worse than when being dumped :(

-  Quiet Saturday

This is a quiet Saturday.  Volcano Eyjafjallajokull in Icelad has erupted this week, sending a volcanic dust cloud over the UK to begin with on Thursday and now the rest of Europe has been effected.  So all airspace is closed, therefore total silence in Hounslow, really eerie.   The Toronto surprise may not go ahead if we dont make it to Toronto, so fingers crossed as we've been planning for ages for this. Could this trip be jixed?

- The Hens went mad :D

Yesterday we had Winnie's hen do.  It started with Lomei, Lai and I decorating the room.  I think we had a load of fun doing that :D  We then went on to meet the others 12 in total for a bollywood dance.  After the energetic dance we paraded Winnie through London in a Pink feather boa.  The we went on for drinks at On anon.  Being very tipsy we all went on to Chez Gerad for dinner.  Food was lovely except I was feeling sick at this point.  After dinner conversations were an eye opening :S but loadsa laughs.  

Today woke up early, went for a walk with Oscar. We took him to the high street, he didn't bark at many people.... very good boy.... he's such a darling... love him to bits!

Never realise how important health is till you are ill.  I've been ill for 2 days now.  I thought I was ok and went to work etc, but it made me feel worse, now day 3 at home and hope I can be well for Winnie's hen do on Saturday!  

Keeping an eye on Oscar via webcam, how cool is technology!

Fulham beat Wolfsburg away yesterday evening 0-1,  so was 3-1 on agg. Fulham into the Europa Semis!

 - Easter Weekend

Had a busy few days leading up to Easter.   Went to the Fulham v Wolfsburg match on Thursday night, Fulham have a narrow lead for 2-1.   Having a relaxing few days now.  Jane will be back from her travels later today and will stay for two nights before she leaves for China.  

Last night I upgraded the firmware on my iPhone to 3.1.2, then jailbroke and unlocked it :D   Have a few cool themes too!

- Easter soon

Weekend was physically tiring as well.  Went from Trinh's to Alex's Karaoke do, got home at 6.55am and then got woken by Jane at 10.45am :(  We had a wonderful day at Bicester. Jane made me dinner.

Yesterday was Jane and Cherry's last day, we had drinks for Cherry and then went to move Janes stuff over here... No way is Janes luggauge all getting on her flight!

I'm gonna really miss Jane and Co when they leave, no more coffee breaks :(

One more day till the long Easter Weekend, I've been waiting a while for a break.

Next weekend is Winnies' Hen Do, the week after final prep at her house, then week after is .... guess ? :D

BTW -
I've given up on responses.

The week went by slowly and I was physically tired! The conference is over, but I have tons of work to do still!

Feeling energized from the gym! Living room is all set up now!

Only low feeling is no response from D, oh well another one bites the dust!

Tomorrow means Trinh's, then Alex's birthday, then promised Jane I would take her to Bicester on Sunday.

 - 00.14

And guess what again? yes past midnight! been busy painting the living room again, I think another day before we are done in the front.  I'm off to a HR conference at Twickenham rugby ground tomorrow.  Must check TFL now to see how long it takes on 281, its been so long since I've been on that route. Should take approx 1 hour door to door.  I lent Jacqui my schedule today and now I don't have a copy! Bugger!  

I've met on eHarmony someone who's seems quite interesting, but I guess we don't count our chickens, so will sit tight before I jump to any conclusions.

Ok to bed now!

23.34 - Wow nearly 24 hours from my last post

Been at Twickenham Stadium today in a HR conference, the last session was on energy... I had none :( Two more days.... no T-Mobile connection in there :(

Got another message from D on eHarmony today, I gues I signed up to the site to meet someone ... but feeling kinda awkward now that he's friends with some on my friends on FB.  He invited me to go and play golf... but I'm gonna take it slower... would feel too shy to meet with him "and" his friends.

-  St Patricks Day

Happy St Patricks Day!  It's a big event at work, people going out and Merchandising, wearing green t-shirts and silly hats!!

We've had the living room floor relaid.  We now have real wood floor.  Gotta talk to the builder tomorrow about the sides, cos there is some gaps. Got some nice paint to paint the living room.. hopefully get that started this weekend too.  Once that is all done then we can bring all the furniture back in.

Going to pop down to Bournemouth tomorrow :D Have to remember the easter eggs for the girls :D  Reckon I will come home on early Saturday.

Today I realized that gym guy is no longer in the UK :( he has gone
on international assignment. My motivation to go to the gym is
gone.... Or possibly i work hard to see him again??? Could be 6 months
could be a year or two ... Very sad day....

-  I'm tired & I have a moaning mother

Last night we went out to celebrate Stephens birthday.  Stephen is so silly, and thought no one turned up for his birthday so he made Kit and I meet him in china town for us to find out that Yoyo and co were all in Guanabara eating and waiting!   Then came the palava of what to do after, I think the other guys who failed to turn up to the dinner were really out of order.  Their intention was not to come out for Stephen birthday, but the intention to go to dry square.  But yt they made Stephen feel bad for not going.  Anyhow we had a brilliant time back in Bow, played 789 and ended up drinking way too much....

This morning I have a moaning mother, saying we didn't take her out for mothers day etc.  Thing is we asked her what she wanted to do the other day and she responded KFC.  Now I we are being moaned at!  God can't please her at all!

- Lost

Today I had to call the agent to cancel on the interview tomorrow.  I think I don't really want the interview at all, but can't seem to get out of it now.  I have talked them into giving me a phone interview so that I don't need make my way all the way to Bermonsey.

Went to Poundland after work to find more hen stuff for Winnie's party! Spent another £5.  Went to look for a powerchimp for Stephen, but they had none, so got him a car charger instead.  Cheap and cheerful, but it's the thought that counts!

They dyed the lake at work Green for St Patricks Day preparation.

Keeping an eye on the football atm, Fulham are losing 2-1 to Juventus.   Lets keep our fingers crossed for the Whites (who are wearing red today).  Not good 3-1 in the end.  Early night tonight I think.

-  Blast from the past

Just had a lovely conversation with a really old friend!  He is now married with a kid.  Defo one of the few good men I know :D  still on the high of buying a new bag :D Gotta go pick up a birthday present for Uncle tomorrow.  Dinner on Friday and maybe mah jong.

Agent called me today and said he had set up a interview for me, for this job in Bermonsey.  I dont think I'm quite ready for an interview yet.  I've not recieved the email, I'm guessing my hotmail has blocked it again.  How to get out of the interview?

 - I fell in LOVE


I went shopping after work with Jane and Cherry.  We went to Westfields, the aim was to go bag shopping with Jane.  I walked out with a handbag too! I could not resist it!

I had my eye on this bag for a long time, but never got round to buying it!  Today I thought, I got a bonus this month and had a really tough month so I deserve it!

08.03.2010
- The end

Finally an end to the palava!  Written warning on record for 6 months.  Not bad, but for something I didn't recall saying!???  Went to see an agent today, just to see what is out there on the market.  The guy was quite cool a boarder like moi, but seemed more extreme.  

Can't make Bournemouth this weekend as it's Mothers day!  Will attempt next week.  Possibly work from Bournemouth on Friday to beat the traffic.

-  Chill day

Today I met LM for lunch, had a really good chilled out chat, talked about everything under the sun..  There was no other ulterior motive which is so relaxing!  Went round Chinatown to look for snacks after, and then tube and replacement bus service home.  The replacement bus service was shambles, there was too many people with luggage to get onto the bus.  It was so crowded people were standing on the upper deck, but I guess it got me home!

The game yesterday was a draw, so must go to replay away, not good for a team who's no good away.  The crowd was fun yesterday, the seats we were at were COLD!

I added a comment box to this site, I really should add a site counter too, to see if anyone is actually reading this.

Must take some pics soon to spice this blog up a bit.  May go visit the Yuen's in Bournemouth this coming weekend, get away from London.

- 05:28am

Why am I still up? Well let me tell you what I got up to.  Today started an emotional roller coaster.  Got a letter in the post and was not good news, but hey... hopefully it will be the end of any news!

After working (worked from home), went out to Dinner at a Korean place called Assa, the food was brilliant and the pricing was even better.  

After dinner we went over to the cousins and played Mah Jong, and you guessed it! My luck has not changed, I lost money.  But you know what? It kept my mind off things and I had a good time :D  

Best sleep now as we have the Fulham v Tottenham FA Cup Quarter Final tomorrow.

- Another Month

Another week has gone by, what did I get up to?

Thursday gone, Fulham got through to the next round of the Europa League.

Barbara left on Friday/Saturday.  I learnt so much from this young lady in a few days.  I'm going to be so sad when Jane and Cherry leave :(


Saturday had two get togethers for both wedding "One" and wedding "Two".  The run down of wedding One was very good and organized.  The wedding Two get together was just a get together, hardly any wedding discussion, apart from bride showing us all her dress.  I guess the wedding is a bit far off.  I asked for a lift home, now I wished I never, turned out to be a massive palava, wish we didn't have so many get togethers.  The more we all get together, the more I just can't wait for this year to end.

I am moping around waiting for the results to D-Day!   Which I just got an email that it is tomorrow 11.30.  Will see what will happen.  Fingers crossed.

 - Weekend

This weekend has been a quiet one, been just moping around in my PJs.  Have things to think about, have things not to do.... been kinda good.  Next weekend will be a busy one so it's good that this one is quiet.

Fulham v Brum City today - 2-1, first goal for Brum was an own goal, so if you think about it Brum didn't score :P

How much can go wrong in my life??   Disciplinary at work, friends unhappy at me, feels like I'm stepping on everyones toes!   The Chinese New Year was supposed to mean a new fresh lucky start to life!  Hopefully things will get better, they cant get any worse can they?

Went to see Fulham again yesterday, was a Europa game which they kinda won 2-1, the Donetsk team made an away goal, so must count it as a draw I guess.

Happy New Year all! Hopefully this year will bring a luckier year than last year!  Today happens to be Valentine's Day also, but you know what? it doesn't even matter.  It's an over commercialised money spinning day.  

Fulham 4 - Notts County 0!  Game was electrifying!  It was so funny when the County fans were singing "Who are ya?" Okaka scores... so we end up singing it back at them.... kekekee

- Trauma room Barbie

Last night was.....heavy!

Woke today, and I am still really tired.  KFC brunch, Yum Yum!  Watching Greys Anatomy and the funniest thing said was "Wow, trauma room Barbie!" at Little Greys new hair colour! Hahahaaa...

The Winter Olympics is in day 2!! I missed all of day one? Nvm, the board events are not starting till the 15th, cannot wait to see Shaun White try the "Double McTwist 1260" on the half pipe, think he will win gold again?? White FTW!

Why do I feel the need to log my everyday activities? I think it's the twittering on twitter and updates on FB over the last few years... I think about 3 years to be precise.  Do you really need to be on FB to have friends?  and are friends on FB real freinds?  I've had about 1 week of no FB, and you know what? my email in box is actually smaller than it used to be.  I have less people to answer to and altogether my life is quieter.   I will see how much longer I can go without.  Funny though, people who used to speak to me on msn have also stopped speaking to me cos I'm not on FB anymore....

Today is New Years Eve on the Chinese lunar calendar!  We had a lovely family meal and got a red packet each from Mum & Dad.  Mum said "I want you to bring your others halves for dinner next year!"  That is so not happening at this rate :( Tomorrow is Day 1 of CNY and also Valentines day... no luck on the Valentines bit, but hopefully the Whites will do well in the FA Cup against Notts County tomorrow!

 - Phawaorrrr

OMG! He was in the bar after work! All I could do was stare at him,
I don't think he noticed at all! I don't think my crap week coulda got any better till I saw him!  I know this was actually the chance to make my move, but you know what? I reckon it could ruin my image of him if I did.   He's never made the move to talk to me, and he seems a really approachable guy.  I guess he's either 100% not interested, married, attached or GAY!

- Results

Results day, we done ok, not brilliant but ok.  Only a 3% bonus, not good when I hear what bankers get!

Friday tomorrow, must be prepared to go out tomorrow evening.  It is really cold outside the last few days, I hope it doesn't snow tomorrow.

Another early night me thinks.

10.02.2010

Feeling tired today, think I'm coming down with something.  Hopefully won't get ill for the Chinese New Year.  Must remember to "spring clean" tomorrow.   Not much thought today, just been really busy with work.  Meetings from 9am then lunch time gym and then back to work.  Early night I think!

- "COYW!"

Fulham 3 - Burnley 0, the atmosphere was great even on a week night!  

Funny thing that happened today? My cheekiness, asking a UK vendor to do the posters for ROI. Made myself chuckle a whole lot!

I saw the below in an article in the Metro today, must try the techniques listed.

 -  Limerence

Some call it limerence, I call it stalking!  I saw him again in the gym today. All I could do was stare.  I have no confidence to talk to him, but yet he must not even have noticed little old me.  I have no confidence to do much these days.  

I hate the feeling of not belonging.  I used to rely on myself, but recently I've started relying on others.  I need to regroup and stay by myself again!  I would like to be back in my own little world, a world where I can do what I like, watch what I like, download what I like, be it TV or music.

Westfield bound after work today, I didn't buy much but spotted a lovely MiuMiu handbag, it would've cost me  half my months salary though. So I put it back on the shelf.

Tomorrow is Fulham v Burnley at "The Cottage", can't wait to sit in the freezing cold watching the match!

-  My Birthday

Dinner was in a lovely Vietnamese restaurant today (apart from the problem that my bro and my cuz wanted to punch a guy on the next table).

The company of close family is awesome.  Playing Mah Jong with relatives for my birthday was so fun, I ended up winning above £20 (Birthday luck!).

- "It's my party I can cry if I want to!"



My year started of on a high, then the big drop! After the drop I feel I've been dropping deeper and deeper.  


Ungrateful? Possibly... I'm glad everyone made an effort but trying to force someone to enjoy something they are not happy about and then making them feel bad about not enjoying it isn't going to help.... should they be more concerned about the root of the problem?

02.02.2010 - "Wicked"

What more can I say?  It was literally "
Defying gravity!"

£20 a ticket for row 4 and bang in the middle, with the great company of a friend.  I really enjoyed the last minute decision to go to a show.
