My baby…. MY first car…. how it feels great….. deciding what should i buy first… an xbox or sat nav for the car :p

This week i’ve been viewing cars, having phone interview for potential jobs, and driving lessons.

And for once things are looking up cos i got all 3 things i wanted. A Car, managed to get to the first stage interview and doing well in my driving.

I am now paying £120 a week for my driving lessons cos i have to travel all the way to hendon now to get used to the area where my test will be. This is gonna really hurt my bank balance but i hope it will pay off.

Passed my driving theory!!!! 35 out of 35 and 54 out of 74 for my hazard perception…. very very vey happy!!!!

Booked my Practical test now… gonna be on the 22nd november…. hope i will pass…. if any of you have any advice or have done the test at hendon before reply with some tips…. I guess this will fulfill my aim of getting my license by the end of the year. I’m 95% sure that i will be getting a Nissan Micra first thing i will do when i get my license is driving to china town to eat…

No more taking the very hot Bakerloo line nor the very slow every 13 min Hammersmith and City Line!!!!!

My Live Still WebCam is fixed now, i didn’t realised that it was facing the blinds…. now its pointing outside the window so you can see what i see now 🙂

other news the BBC have there own Market benchmarking system now… (you know FTSE, NASDAQ etc) the BBC Global 30… which shows the worlds top 30 companies are doing it started off as 5000 and is currently at 5091 so its not bad… guess it’ll be easy to see how the economy is doing.

Friday had a Birthday dinner…. thanks to Gemma, Sussie, and Anna for organising it.

The girls booked us into a private room at the China City restaurant (Imperial Garden) Very nice….. Karaoke at the place was cool… good selection only problem was… it was midi music…. ok to sing along to but kwai had the idea to repeat gloria again and again while we ate…. music all got to us so we all got our high tech phones out and started playing real music into the mic :p

Anyway after the food the singing started and a few were crazy than others…

The night was more than just my bday it was a nice get together… first time for ages that we’ve all gotten together like this…

This is what the company website says about the advert

Doritos Extreme Tandoori Sizzler.
TV presenter, Vernon Kay can be seen getting everybody in the Doritos mood with the help of some saucy air stewardesses in the latest TV Advert for Vernon, who is the face of Doritos, can be seen starting a party at an airport check-in desk following an announcement that the flight to Bombay is delayed.

Passengers, with the help of two sexy air stewardesses, get into the Indian swing of things and start dancing as packets of Doritos drop into the queue like gas masks from overhead lockers.

Doritos Extreme Tandoori Sizzler is a hot new Indian inspired flavour to add to the extreme range – a sizzling snack with a whole lot of extra power – and follows in the footsteps of Extreme Chilli Heatwave.

The hugely popular corn snack is great for sharing with friends or if you just fancy a great tasting snack all to yourself.

Vernon Kay said: “The new Tandoori flavour is cracking. It has definitely got a bit of a kick which makes them a very moreish snack.”

He added: “We filmed the ad at Stanstead and everyone stopped to see what the noise was – especially when we all started dancing to Indian music!”

Corinne Prior, Doritos Senior Brand Manager added “The Extreme flavours are always a massive hit, especially with the guys – and Tandoori Sizzler is no exception. The advert was really fun to film and great to see Vernon in action for Doritos once again.”

Doritos celebrates its 10th anniversary this year and new Extreme Tandoori Sizzler flavour is a great new addition to the popular snack range.

The ad will be on our TV Screens from Wednesday 1st September.

Day 1
Very Busy Last week. Worked at GameStars Live at Excel last week. It wasn’t that bad… It got off to a bad start cos the power to the stand kept failing. After that happened it was smooth sailing. Job done Day one ends.

Went around the show a bit and saw Donkey Konga… what a cool games… can’t wait to see it released. Sim 2 also caught my eye the graphics in this version were very crisp. Last but not least PES4 god of football games… this is gonna be massive when it is released.

Day 2
Everyone was tired from the first day as we finished the night before at 8 and had to be in again at 9.30 it was lame… after the morning blues the day went ok again… did the competitions on the main stage (first prize was to win an ipod).

Afterwards we went to eat in china town we were so hungry at that point. Son Showed us his new phone line which he took of a hooker (no joke well he found it and her clients keep calling the PAYG sim.)

Waidat and his lady friend came to the show…. Managed to sneak him in. he seems to enjoy it he came again on Saturday.

Afterwards went to Lloyds bar for a quick drinks…. Then it was off home…


Day 3
I was regretting going out the night before cos I was so tired….. Same old day met some of the regular to the show again…. Tried to get home early to sleep off my tiredness… Ming came that day…. haven’t seen him in ages…

Day 4
What a busy day it was today…. Loads of people came to the show. By this time you could easily profile what type of gamer people were…. and some of the visitors were extremely weird. Matty had this shemale eyeing him up :p will not let him forget that moment :p

Jason Ho made an appearance haven’t seen him in ages… He ended up winning the low score competition which was very hard.

Afterwards went to Gems get together birthday bash…. Stayed for bout an hour then went home cos I was working the next day….

By the time I got home its was 10.30… wasn’t looking fwd to waking up at 8am.


Day 5

Last day… in a happy mood that everything was going to end, only person who was in even before 9.30 and in an energetic mood was Jen… everyone else came late due to tiredness or delays or both. Saw Nigel and Charles at the show…. both i haven’t seen in ages…. quite and surprise meeting them.

In 5 days we must have directed 100’s of people to the Activision stand for the yellow tony hawk chains. It was very annoying at that point. Near the end everyone wanted freebies one guy even wanted Mattys addidas top.

It is now Tuesday and I am still tired. :p Melvin and I are like old men now… we are still recovering.

Carnivals Back into town again… again this area gets really busy and messy again…. rookie traders come out to play… but besides that… lively atmosphere and good music….

Went down for a bit to take pictures cos i don’t wanna be carrying the camera tomorrow

Bored and tired i am…. it’s cool stayed at home looking for jobs…. besides that nothing….

Went to the Konam_i offices today for a meeting…. got to play Pro evolution 4… it was really good but i lost 7-2 :crying: way better then pro evo 3…..

Also played Dancingstage Fusion … the game isn’t all that on first impression but we’ll see….


A while back Minh showed me this place you can buy sushi snacks…. they’re kinda cool they’re individually wrap and cute as you can see…. and it taste quite nice….

So now i guess you can keep sushi the same was you keep you chewing gum …. well i guess…

Thanks to Jane for making theses nice banners for everyone….

You know i always i thought i was a gamer…. you know addicted to computer games etc…. well recently Ming sent me a picture of his console set up at his place and bloody hell!!! I mean look how many Gameboy SP he’s got!!! I remember when he was cussing me when i brought my sega saturn during secordary but ahem whats that on the shelf :tongue:

Anyway he was also showing me his holiday pics and he sent me a piccie of him in a japanese robe when he went japan…. and he looks quite similar to a famous computer games character as you can see :tongue:


Just thinking about my old work place… I actually miss working there 🙁 I did one of those things when, when you have a bad patch you just quit cos you think it’s not for you…. I actually miss the people there… they were great fun…. I heard they’ve got a replacement for me now…. good luck to her she might need it…. hopefully she may discover the bookmarks I saved her….

Letter of resignation and *** **** ******* ***** *****

I guess in a way i’m glad i’m out of there but on the other hand i can’t buy gadgets every month 😉


today stayed at home all day was quite tired from looking for a job…. in the afternoon my sister came back and brought 2 monkies to the house… Pina and Franca… they were hungry so i cooked them some dim sum… YES i cooked!!!! and it was kinda ok… after that Pina bashed into my server and resetted it bringing my webserver down… :crying: it wouldn’t start up again!
