wow i became sociable again! well just for one week lol

I went to watch Wall-E this week ... As always Pixar did a very good job on the movie and the short film at the start.

The movie itself is really good... i loved it.





Saturday, Thach, monica and I went to check out Emily new place in covent garden. What a wonderful place to live... really nice area.

We just ended chatted and ate.


[in tesco]


Sunday went for my weekly jog around hyde park. at about the 2.5km i felt really dizzy... it was so hot i think i was gonna faint, so i decided to stop. I walked the rest of the way... managed to drop and scratch my ipod touch :(

Anyway after that I got home and cut all my hair off... I was long overdue for a hair cut and the heat was getting to me... so i decided to cut it all off...

Im not sure about it... but i guess it looks neater now :p










[Still in my jogging stuff]




I upgraded my ipod touch to 2.0 and now i can download apps on it ... bout time they've done this... makes the ipod more useful. As u can see ive loaded mine with translators and games.



London is currently having a knife killing spree so now have these metal detectors in the streets... Makes you feel a little safer.

I know my blogs are so dry nowadays... but the truth is... i've grown up, i have a career, i dont go out as much and i dont seem to have much to say.

Also I tend to keep myself to myself these days because it seems when i blog about things i.e my love life etc things just go wrong or they never work out.

What keeps me writing is that in 10 years time i can read what i did.

Anyway I often look back at my past years blog to see how much ive progress, if at all...


My past year:



Started hanging around with Jen again a month later shit happens and I stop talking to her (again)...





Left INPS... was it a mistake? i'm still not sure. Most of the people i worked with have moved on internally or onto other jobs. Working with young cool people was the best thing in the world, nowadays i sit in an office on my own bored as hell.







Randomly met a girl. Will I ever do it again? i doubt it...




A year ago was the last time i met up with my ex. 3 years on we are both very different people. We still speak on the phone once in a while but because she lives far we dont often meet up.


bloody hell i did fuck all! I'm gonna have to start living life a little more!

Forgot to mention i stayed at this designer hotel recently... it was really nice etc... one thing that stood out was the Lifts (elevators), you had to choose the floor you wanted to go to from the outside!

For the first few days i was dashing into the lift only to realise i couldn't select which floor i wanted! oh well that's what happens when a hotel trys to hard.




Every sunday (except the past 2) I've been training for the nike 10k run. I'm only managing 2 km at the moment so i have a long way to go :(





Picture of an apple pie at Loch fayne. Went there the other week... had a wonderful seafood platter... it was so yummy... i didn't take a picture of the seafood cos i didn't wanna look like a tourist :p



















I was lucky enough to get my hands on Wii Fit.

This game has been sold out since its release in may. It's a really good game i'm actually lost 3lb since playing it for 2 days (yes it tells you).

So what have i been upto?

Well been jogging every sunday in preparation for the Nike 10k run.

A few weeks ago, it was Monica's bday. We went to eat Korean then went to Moose bar....

Ended up playing this chinese drinking game... i really didn't understand it at first but then i caught on...

it was a good night...

Been really busy at work lately.... been installing a new server rack... (pictures below)

I brought a new phone (Sony Ericsson C902)

Problem with phone contracts, is that you got to wait 18 month till you can upgrade your phone. I decided to purchase the phone sim free which cost me £230. Now that is actually cheap compared with getting it on a contract.

the phone itself is amazing... Sony Ericsson has come a long way. The phone is really fast and the battery life is really good. I've been using the HTC Tytn II since october and i've been annoyed on how such a powerful smart phone can have a really shit user interface... the C902 has many of the advance features which i use on the pda, infact the C902 has imap Push mail which the HTC doesn't...

Last week i went to GBK. Can someone tell me how are you meant to eat the burgers and not look like a pig? Their Burgers are so big how on earth can you much it.

I ended up using a Knife and fork. Definitely not a place to take a lady on a date.


--------------------------------------------

in 1 week i've watched 4 movies... so here are my reviews.




Hancock:

Lacks a strong story line... Not one of Will Smiths greatest movies... I did like the comedy in it... but it's one of those movies where all the good parts were in the trailer.

I'd give this a miss if you're a serious movie critic.



Wanted:

Loads of critics have given good reviews about this movie. Story line was good but had a shit ending... Anyway this isnt a bad movie to watch but maybe one to wait till it comes out on DVD.




Kung Fu Panda:

This movie is a must see.... The comedy is great, The fight choreography is brilliant.

Definitely watch this movie!






Mamma mia:

Ok this is one is for the ladies... i only went cos i was with a lady (honest!).

I haven't seen the stage show but i dont think you can compare the two. The cast arent singers, so i thought they did very well to sing, especially Piers Brosnan.

I am a fan of musicals and it's not often you get musical movies. The last decent one was Hair spray.

It's a must see if you like abba... I actually enjoyed it.

here's a clip from the movie...

Just finished watching a TV drama called Fallout on channel 4.

A very well written hard hitting drama... it shows a side of London that most people probably never knew existed.

Anyway if you missed it, watch it on 4OD.



Anyway recently went out to eat... not really been out much recently cos apparently i keep using the the excuse that im skint!

Anyway problem i always seem to have when I going out is deciding where to eat. The problem is that i've been to most places that i cant decide when people put pressure on me to decide.

Anyway that evening my friend wasn't really impressed with the choice in venue... (actually I wasnt as well). Managed to end up in Hi Sushi... my friend was very vocal on telling me what a crap choice i made... i admit it was but i felt a little down after that...

Anyway Hi Sushi is a Japanese all you can eat restaurant, I would say the average meal there is atleast £40 for 2. Not Authentic as such but it's alot better compared to Yo Sushi.



Recently at work I've been so stressed because i cant seem to have 1 sec without being interupted and i have alot of work to complete. I decided to book out a meeting room and try to hide from everyone so i could get something done, but I still get interuptions and stuff.

Anyway this weekend i'm going to do some serious de-stressing.



















Anyway I'm so not impressed with this week at all... lets hope it's a little better next week.
