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.

Went to eat at Patara in Soho the other night…. Best Thai food i’ve had for a very long time. The food was very authentic… it was so yummy! The Steamed Black cod was amazing… and the Duck curry was so delicious… both perfectly cooked.

The other night it was Anna and Joe’s BBQ party… it was a good oppourtunity to meet my friends and make new ones as well.

I’m so convinced Gemma invented the concept of a night bbq because i’ve never seen it been done anywhere else. The night was really cool… good mix of people… i was even taught london slang (i felt so old that i don’t know any of the slang anymore).

Anyway pictures below.

A few weekends back I went to the thai festival in Trafalgar sq with Monica and Emily… it was ok… Saw Thaitanium play… who are a famous thai hip hop group.

Later on in the evening I went to eat at cha cha moon… due to the owner being the founder (Alan Yau) of wagamama, busaba and the current owner of Yauatcha, this place has been so hyped up by the londons papers .

The decor of the place is very nice and relaxing. The food prices were really impressive, but the food quality reminded me of what you would get at won kei in wardour street.

I ordered the Seafood ho fun, I was impressed with the amount of seafood i received but overall i thought the dish was really salty.

I have no doubt Cha Cha moon will be a success only because of its hit/cult like status. But if you really want real good quality Chinese food you might wanna avoid this place.

Monica drinking and deciding to steal a chair.

I flashed my phone and installed Windows mobile 6.1… it is a massive improvement to 6.0. My fav feature would be the IM chat like text(sms) message layout (just like msn messenger).

Do the Rolex sweep????

Im slow to catch on to these things but i just discovered the rolex sweep which is apparently storming the UK…

this is bigger than the soulja boy dance

All you hear on the news these days is another teenage stabbing…

14 Deaths since the beginning of the year. You wonder if this has always happened, maybe we are more aware of the problem due to the media being so interested?

Death Number 7 (chart below) was at Thai sq a bar/club (I used to go to).

Don’t these people who carry knifes have any ambition in life?

You know I really think if you brought all the kids in london a PS3 and a copy of GTA or Pro Evo they can invite their mates over to play… atleast that will teach them some social skills and keep them off the streets.

I’m so glad I’m not a teenager growing up in london.

Teenage Stabbings in London.

Anyway what have i been upto?

nothing much really…. start of the month i was in Barcelona again… Immigration are pissing me off almost every time I get hassled by them…. maybe i look fobbish?

Earlier in the month we had a mini heatwave… so a few of us decided to make the most of it and went to chill in the park… managed to kick of my hayfever… it was quite bad!

Last week Metup with Gemma, Anna and Tatch for dinner… went to Aubaine the food was really good but very pricey.

I had Scallops with Apple. I thought it was going to be a very odd mix but it actually tasted good…

went to watch indiana jones on friday… heard mixed reviews about the movie but i thought it was a really good family movie.

I also saw… Chocolate. Produced by the same makers as Ong Bak infact Tony Jaa has a cameo in it. It also stars famous jdrama Actor Hiroshi Abe

It was the best martial arts movie i’ve seen in ages. The style of fighting is very simular to Jackie chan… no doubt when this is released in Europe it will gain a massive cult following.

Anyway here is a clip of one of the fight scenes:

ho ho ho

Im getting real lazy with blogging…. but i thought i must update so here I go….

Good news! Pull and Bear will open its first store in the UK in Liverpool.

If you’ve not heard of P&B it’s a really popular brand operating Europe, Middle East and Asia. Owned by Inditex which also own Zara, Bershka, Massimo dutti.

It’s like the cooler version of H&M!!!! so watch out!

Prob one of the reasons I go to BCN alot is cos of this store.

Some Pictures of my Bank Holiday weekend mostly spent it in the Glories area next to the Torre Agbar Tower which looks like the Gerkin (London). I think this will be my home now in BCN.

I discovered an obvious way to get business class seating on BA European flights… which i will be doing from now on.

with the lack of funds to pay for my extravagant social life i’ve mostly just gone to the cinema to watch movies etc.

Fool’s Gold. Don’t ask my why i went to watch this movie… movie wasn’t really my sense of humour but was bearable to watch.

Street Kings was the shitz! Not much action but a very strong story line which has a brilliant twist. Keanu Reeves as always plays a stiff emotionless cop who seems to be above the law…

Chick Flick… Very good … a must watch movie! A++++

Last week I met up with Anna… went to have dinner at ASK. She decided to upgrade her phone as well and managed to get a pinkish G600…

Saturday met up with Thach… had the lost laziest day ever! After trying to find sulphuric acid (they don’t sell it anywhere) ended up watching clips of Youtube and eating ….. lol

I love a laid back weekend :p not done that in a while.

Tonight went to La Tasca with Eva for some unlimited Tapas….

It was yummy… and for 10 per person it wasn’t that bad!

Happy Thai new year everyone!

Went to the Temple with a group of people to pray and eat etc.

After that went back home cos everyone was cold… Jane managed to to hurt herself in a really odd way… she was lighting a match when the bits of sparks came off and managed to get into her eye!!!

So we ended up in A&E … debating Thai politics.

BTW Jane is ok…. this wasnt as bad as what she did when she was younger when she managed to get a paper cut in her eye!

The other week I decided to spend the weekend in Barcelona. Before you say it yes i’ve gone there so many times in the last year… but it’s just really easy to get to… ( I collect BA Air miles) and I get to shop shop shop… besides shopping the food is good as well.

I plan to go there again soon cos i need to do some proper shopping at Pull and Bear. Might actually just go on my own so that I don’t need to worry about when anyone else wants to do.

It was a really good trip… work was getting to me so it was nice just to forget everything for a while and just relax.

Anyway here are the pictures. A video blog will follow soon…..

Sad as it must be… I went to watch my very first football match the other week.

I went to watch Sweden play Brasil. It was magical… i loved the atmosphere… i think the best part of the experience was the Mexican wave!!!!! that was fun.
