The other day at work I witness collective web surfin. Everyones computer had the Woolworth webpage up! Why? well the picture above explains it all. One of my work mates ordered 5… It was quite funny how everyone was trying to buy them, everyone knew that the chances of recieivng them were next to nothing.
Sat – After suffering a hang-over I went into work to collect my stuff that i left behind the day before.
After that I went shopping at Queenways. It was quite nice shopping on my own haven’t done that for a while. Whiteleys shopping centre was quite empty which made life easier. Also It was really nice to see a Choir sing christmas songs.
Talking about Choirs there was a really good documentry on BBC2 today. It was about a group of kids who had never sung in a choir before and changed them into world class singers.. It was a really good doc and really touched me how they worked so hard. We should have more docs like this than reality TV shows which are like no brainers!
Sunday, felt really lazy but in the evening i had arrange to have a Christmas dinner with an old friend that i haven’t seen for ages. We decided on a few places but cos there was alot of traffic we ended up going to WestEleven @ the Hilton Hotel.
The food was sooo lovely! Was really happy with the food, service, and atmosphere… I couldn’t believe how it was so much better then that junction restaurant i went to the other week.
To my surprise my friend brought me an Ipod Shuffle it was a really cool gift cos i my 3rd generation ipod had died a few months back… so now i can listen to music again.
Actually getting the ipod to work was a bit of a nightmare. when i opened itunes the drive would disappear from windows. So when itunes tried to sync it kept bringing up errors… it took me all night reading the apple forums to find out what to do … apparently many other people have had this problem as well.
I was reading 30+ blogs over the weekend… one entry really touched me. It was about a female who became a good smaritan. Wish people were as friendly as that in london.
“I was at Wilkinson buying sticky tape and at the cash desk there was two boys infront of me about 10/12 paying for two packs of polomints with 2ps and 1ps. Thought it was kinda cute n funny and sorry for the cashier as she has to count em all. The total was 48p and they only had 46p. So they searched their pockets for 2p (which they didn’t have) looking kinda lost and sad probably so I payed 2p for them and they were really grateful. They said thank you with a massive smile and as they left they said thanks again and the cashier smiled too.
Then for the rest of the hour I couldn’t stop smiling. Felt soooooo GOOD. The smiles were just so nice…”
Today on the news they claimed to have arrested the Ipswich Ripper (who has killed 5 women). Now I’m so amazed how technology plays a mjor part in our lives that we can read a profile of the killer on myspace. we can also read the peoples comments about him.
I use social network website like myspace and friendster to check out people i’ve met. It’s really handy. It goes to show… even peeps who don’t look like killers can be killers.
