wow my facebook as exploded this week.... got so mayn friends request.... its nice to find my old friends from college, secondary and primary school on it :p
Nice to know they are doing something in life...
Tuesday i was at the NHS Connecting for Health offices... It was so weird as it was the first time i was in the same room with some of the IT CCA leads from the PCT's... There was a Q&A session with peeps from E-mis support staff as well and appearently INPS turned down the request to come... wasted man!
The Third installment of the Bourne series is coming out this summer... i can't wait... for some reason i really enjoyed the last two....
July is gonna be a brilliant month for movies... you have the Simpsons movie and Transformers being released... i am def gonna need to watch these 2 movies....
I finally watched the last epidsode of 24 season 6 and WOW ... i can't wait for season 7 now... don't really wanna ruin it for others who haven't watch it yet... but i have loved season six still very unpredictable... which is what i like... sad to see a few characters go as well.
My car is blinking Service now... VW says it will cost ÂŁ300 to service... which is not bad cos it covers parts and labour but i really don't have that much money if i wanna go on holiday :(
I am so tempted to sell my car and contract hire then i wouldn't need to worry about servicing and i would get a new car every 3 years..
Don't forget that i'm doing the 10k walk in a few weeks time don't forget to donate...
My ISP Be Unlimited are really pissing me off today... the connection has been so flaky.... DNS seems to take ages to resolve... so user openDNS address at the moment but that messes up my private network for some reason.
Anyway... Sorry for not blogging for ages... alot of things happening at work....
Friday went to see the green grass at Trafalgar sq.... it was really weird to see it... i really do think they should have kept it there it actually makes the sq look much nicer.
On Sat I met Maureen who is on some student study program here for like 10 weeks or something... this is her last week before she goes back to Chicago so decided to show her the sites of Brighton...
I'm tried my best not to slate bush but yeah it just came out lucky she shares the same views though :p
anyway really tired so i will let the pictures do the talking...
Went to see Avenue Q the other day... it was really good! I loved it.... full of political incorrectness which when you think about it, it's true.
The songs are the best part of it... and such songs as Everyone is little be racist and the Internet is for porn will just make you laugh so much.
I would def recommend watching this show.... but if you're a boring twat don't bother.
Anyway here's a clip of Avenue Q (note the actual show as this was a special at the royal variety show 2006)
Forgot to mention that yes it's a muppet/ real people type play which works really well... and you end up looking at both the muppets and the people controlling them...
Avenue Q review on newsnight
The songs are often spoofed on Youtube with clips from famous cartoons like this one...
I don't think i have ever stayed in all weekend for a very long time... I don't remember when i last did that.
Sat i was ment to go shopping with a friend but she felt tired so carried on sleeping :( .... it's always good to take advantage of the situation and so slept most of the day... then sun i slept most of the day as well... i feel very refreshed now that i've done that.
Infact i may stay in more often.... this weekend by not going out i must have saved atleast ÂŁ60
Anyway here's a little clip of Love Letters.... it is so so funny i'm highly addicted to this game show.
Look how gay this guy is dancing in a super market! this could never happen in this country... As Athena Chan says you can tell how gay this guy is cos he's dancing in the Washing powder and toy section.
Work is hard at the moment... my line manager was away for a while so had no one to complain to but now that i have complained they are taking it really serious and holding a meeting and she is getting her line manager involved. Problem is that i've been overwork producing stupids stats for the past 2 weeks... and neglect other things like system support.. so told them i was overworked etc.
Anyway on with the blog.
Friday I had lunch with Mariyam before she headed back to Doha, Went to have Lebanese down Edgware Road. Good to catch up and stuff... food was really good def be going back.
After Work I went to the monthly INPS leaving party. This month 4 people were leaving. This leaving party was mad.... it was like the who's who of INPS... past and present employees were there.... quite amazing.
I was good seeing my old mates again.... it was good to catch up on stuff.... I really do miss working for INPS sometimes.
[Mr Cannon and Mr Burkinshaw geez it was so much fun working with them 2]
[Inni and Michael Freeman the man who replaced me as team-leader now working at RBS]
Later on in the evening I had to rush to the Royal Albert Hall where i went to see Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play. The night was a themed night and Symphonic Rock was the theme.
It was really good... i love the mix of classical reditions of modern day tunes... The best peices of the night were Livin on a Prayer by Bon Jovi , bohemian rhapsody by Queen and We are the Champions by Queens as well.
The crowd really loved the classical redition of these songs.
The night reminded me of when i was in the school orchestra... it's so fun.... they should do more shows like this it would get kids more involved in Classical music.
Youtube below is from the Video Games Live which is an Orchestra set that plays video games music... i really wanna go and see this.
Oh and Happy Birthday to Gleny's as you can see she was celebrating way before her b-day :p
I really do think some people are really sad or that they have some personality disorder... i mean look at this pic i saw in the london paper today.... (guy driving down notting hill looking like a cuban general)
Now look at this video blog i did in march 2006
It's the same guy!
This man must just drive around west London all day thinking he's da man! it makes me wonder if these people have day jobs.... and does he have a change of clothes? (it's like Ben Stiff and his Billabong Shorts!)
Anyway i really love facebook it lets me keep up to date with all my friends... if you haven't signed up to facebook yet YOU MUST!!!...
i'm really nosey sometimes cos i like to see the pics people have taken and uploaded to facebook.... I came across one of Thanh ... Looking good Thanh...
He looks like he's going to work with Homer at the Nuclear power plant.
This is a special post..... this is my 500th blog post!!!!!!!! I can't believe that i have written that many!
So where do i start.... I had a very pressured week seems like i have so much work to do not enough time to finish it...
This week starting to take antibiotics again to fight my outbreaks of spots... collected the prescriptions fromt he doctors on fri but haven't had time to go to a chemist to pick them up....
Over the weekend a friend i was speaking to on the phone convinced me to go out... i wasn't to happy cos i don't have much money to go out all the time.... so i was very reluctant... but i had to cos they booked a table... So we went to Fishworks in Richmond. I had a seafood platter.... i really loved it.... it was her treat so i didn't need to pay felt really bad...
I really do feel really bad when peeps pay for me... i try to owe them meals back but it never feel like i am repaying them fully. It was a very sweet gesture. Thank you.
Anyway it cheered me up alot i guess it's good being around friends on the weekend.
On Sunday went to Thach surprised bday lunch which Monica organised at the Mango Tree down Belgravia central london.
Food was very authentic .... i had the Lobster Pat Thai it was so yummy...
Video Blog of Thach B-day.
I have really weird conversations with Athena... i really don't know why i still speak to her...
Like for example... i was being really moody to Athena but all she can do is laugh??? she's from manchester so i forgive her....

Jessi took ages typing something the other day.... i was wondering what the hell she was typing... 3 min later... look what she drew.... ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really don't like the political situation in Thailand at the moment... If you don't know the Prime Minister was in New York when the military attempted a coup and made it. Having a unelected government in Thailand is an embarrassment to the country and shows how western states turn a blind eye to military dictatorship if there isn't any oil!
[Protest in London last week outside the Thai embassy...]
If my uncle had a blog it prob be a widely read one... I mean check out the pictures...
I haven't blogged for ages... having one of those one long weekends i guess.
Anyway fri i took it off so i can have an extended bank holiday weekend.
Fri i tried to finish off my room but ended up sleeping and watching a Korean Game show called "love letters" (one after the other) it is soooo funny... it has been out for a while but only got round to watching now! i was just cracking up on my own!
In the evening went out with Gemma, Anna, Waidat and Zander to watch Spiderman 3. As central london was showing it for a rip off price we went to the Vue in Shepperd's Bush. The movie was focused on building the characters something that i'm not sure if this worked... overall it was a good movie to see.
Everyone else decided to head on to Thai Sq ... i decided to call it a day and walked home.... it was a really nice walk actually. As i was walking i was thinking how much my road and area has changed. 15 years ago the place was a shit hole.... it is so different now.... gone are the junk yards and industrial estates .. in are media companies and offices...
The next day i went on a trip to the tate modern. It was the first art gallery i have been of some time. I'm not a really big fan of modern art i can't get my head round how a canvas just painted all in grey can be art? What i did enjoy was the photography rooms..... I could have spent hours just looking at the pics... the 19th Century USSR pics were amazing.
Art galleries are so hi-tech these days... I tried out the PDA guide where you can find out about the works... on demand.
Afterwards went to St Katherine docks and Tobbaco docks to look around etc... did alot of walking stumbled upon a Walk thru Mcdonalds!!!! wow i think that's a really cool concept!
Really hooked on Me & My katamari on the PSP at the moment... it is so addictive... it's one of those games you really wanna put down but you can't!
Sunday I went to Ben's place for a BBQ... Ben lives on an island in Kent.... I swear it is the real life truman show.... all the houses look the same only and one exit off the island. etc....
Ben recetly just brought the place for a good price... i would love to live on the island but i don't think i could live in the middle of nowhere.
Here's a Little video of the edge of the island....
Tonight i went to the Time Out Preview of Fast Food Nation. This movie opens on Friday.... same day as spiderman so i doubt many people will decide to see this movie... but it is def a must!
Atmposphere in the cinema was wierd it felt like no one could be bothered to be there cos they all had there free evening newspapers out reading them... anyway I brought the book ages ago but never got to read it, so i don't know how true to the book it is but the movie is very symbolic.
The movie basically has 3 parallel stories within it. 1. a VP of marketing 2. a staff member at the fast food place 3. a migrant worker getting paid peanuts.
It shows the suffering they have to go through and also the easy life at the top of the food chain.
Anyway this is a film you must go and watch... perhaps it is not a weekend type movie... spiderman will fill that but perhaps use your orange wed code to watch this movie!
Anyway... besides this alot has happened at work today... my line manager thought it will be a good idea to move me for 2 weeks into another office so i can socially integrate.... so i have... i was unhappy at first but getting used to it now. but i miss my own desk :(
Anyway had a meeting today and it turns out that the programme director seems really please with me and they will be funding me to roll out another system at the end of this year... Once this happens it makes me technically working full time for Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster but the way it works is that they prefer to pay me indirectly... not sure why?
Anyway i don't know how to react with the news... am i meant to be happy?
Anyway in the evening I went to shop at Paul Frank. To my surprise i saw something really cool! Paul Frank has done a collaboration with Lego!!!! and the stuff is actually cool... but i think it is aimed for kids... but i wouldn't care i would still wear it!
Anyway more bad news... Metronet sent all the residents a letter tonight... they are going to be doing work every night for the whole month on the viaducts... 1 min from my home... so its going to be a noisy and sleepless month....
[metronet are gonna keep me awake]
[after movie felt like i had to drink... the stress of working in Healthcare IT]
What a sunny day.... recently i feel like not working but now i have quite a bit of work to do now... which i have been putting off recently.
Some peeps from C*rner came into the office today they was preparing the servers for the new system which is launching next year... kinda reminded me of my job application to do :( Oh well not bothered I've learnt to accept where i am for now...
Google have released some cool themes... for your personal search page.... nothing special you say? well depending on the weather the theme will change to reflect that!
Anyway gonna leave you with a youtube ... i haven't posted a piano tune after... and as some of you know i find Yiruma - Kiss the rain really depressing... well here is another great tune its Yiruma - Maybe
