Sorry for not updating my blog i’ve been quite busy with my new job and all.
I started my new job last week which has kept me busy. Must be a record for me as i’ve jumped jobs twice. Hopefully i will stay longer here.
Friday was my offices Xmas party… was quite good… but left early cos i was so tired.
Besides that I haven’t done much… one exciting thing i did was Visit the new Heathrow Terminal 5 as a test passenger and my inital reaction is that it is massive…
Id thought i’ll write this now rather than later.
Mimi (middle in picture) passed away. When I heard this I was shocked… i thought this couldn’t be true… later confirmed I was quite shocked.
I didn’t know her as well as my Sister but it shocked me on how it was so sudden and random, I hope my sister can cope with this as I’m quite worried for her now.
She was a really nice and friendly person.
Still can’t believe it.
Rest in Peace Mimi
Gone but never forgotten.

Can you believe it, every evening since thursday i’ve been drinking… !!!! I’ve decided to stop for tomorrow as i know there are plans to go drinking on fri.
So why have i been drinking… Stress? Anxiety? Women? Security? friendship?
Well actually all of the above….
Tonight went to have dinner at Strada down high street Kensington, first time i’ve felt relaxed for a while.
Wait! was i relaxed cos i was drinking beer? maybe not but i guess it helped :p…
[now i know it looks like i was eating vomit but it’s actually risotto with lobster and prawns… very tasty!]
My final high level meeting at work… felt really good but i will miss part of the job… I was thank by the consultants which kinda makes you feel good.
Friday… Had the cheapest meal ive had for a while at Nando with Thach, Mon and Em… £6 well cheap thanks to my 20% NHS discount.
Afterwards we ended up in this Morrocan themed Bar in the middle of Marylebone… it was very nice, had wicked chat.
Sat! Prob one of them days i will try to forget, went with Thanh, Em and Jessi down to Selfridges… All i know i never want a day like that again.
This week is my last week working directly for the NHS. I’ve started my farewell tour and been having final meetings etc. I am actually going to miss the people I work with. Some of them are old enough to be my father and mothers but they are so nice to i will miss them.
I always have the most funniest conversation with Miss Athena Chan. Nice person and all she introduced me to M-flo and chooses 70% of my blog music… but she can say the dumbest things!

Actually there are worst people out there!
This weekend I needed to save money! So we thought why not cook for ourselves surely it’d be cheaper than eating out and so it was… The food came up to £33.19 which is not bad considering it was a 3 course meal, that we were preparing and split between 4 means that it was the cheapest and tastiest meals i’ve ever had.
Prob one of my best Video blogs ever lol…
What a crap month it has been for me bill wise!
This month my Insurance, Road Tax and Servicing was due….
My service came up to £350. You’d expect them to have done alot with the car but they did absolutely nothing. You’re paying a majority of it for the pleasure of them sticking their laptop into the back side of the car to see if there are an errors… There was one i guess the radiator was leaking coolant which was replaced under warranty so that was lucky.
Past few days i’ve been testing my sisters car, been driving it out and stuff. I cannot believe how good the pick up speed is! it’s fastert than my car from 0-40.
This is prob the last time i will be taking pictures in meetings so enjoy it :p
Did anyone see top gear this week? Prob one of the best races ever… they raced from Kew all the way across London… amazing to watch and the Interview with Simon Cowell was the most entertaining one to one i’ve watched in a while.
place call Eat and Two Veg… The other week went to eat down trendy Marylebone high street for lunch with a few work mates… it was quite pricey for a lunch but the food was so lovely… We went to a Vegetariani’ve always had the impression that vegetarian food was like rabbit food but i was wrong…. the place specialises in making dishes which mirror the meat version of the dish, which it does very well. I had Bangers and MAsh and it just tasted like the real thing… Amazing!
Anyway its time for a video blog…

What a weekend! I did so little but i’m so tired…. Friday night went to see Jess didn’t do much all i remember was alot of nagging.
Sat… I was meant to go with Thach and Monica and Emily to Bicester Village but My Sister brought a VW Polo so had to help sort out the paper work etc… it is soooo sweet how my sister now has the same car as me….
On Sunday was meant to go Bristol but didn’t cos my car has gone in for servicing so I went into central to do a bit of shopping. I met up with Emily who obviously hasn’t had enough of shopping. Em brought shit loads of tea, i guess to give to her folks back home… afterwards had a quick meal at tpt then it was on with the shopping again… after that went home and slept.
So Cute
Window Shopping
My ipod touch next to an iphone
Me
They just back from the Village so they decided to webcam?
The Sakulsaeng’s Cars
Brother and Sister.
well I had my interview on friday… was quite hard as i had to do a presentation then after i was asked a few technical questions which were quite easy for me.
Anyway by the time i got back from the interview i recieved the call. I would be offered the job. I was quite shocked as i thought i did very badly…
I know my Line manager is prob going to be so disappointed in me for not telling her…. but I really hope she will be happy for me.
I told the programme director today he sat me down in the office and I told him the place where i’m going is offering alot more than my current salary. He kinda hinted that they could try and match it and he thinks this is a backwards step.
I personally don’t believe it is a backward step for me. To be honest i was never a peoples person and my current position involved alot of talking like today i had 4 meetings. Not to mention that the position means i have to travel alot… at the start it was fun but it gets to the point where it’s tiring.
On a positive note I’ve been credited on turning the project round and successfully deploying the system in one area and another area by the end of the month. I will be sad to leave as i wont see this project through.
I’m quite lost with what i wanna do as a career. I seems to have carlved a niche for myself in Health IT so perhaps i will keep going with that.
Anyway my new role will me managing and maintaining the IT and communication systems at a Health Centre. Quite an exciting role as i will be the only IT person on site.
————————————————————————————-
Went Carluccio the other day… it was utter SHIT don’t ever go to the one at Brent cross.
Anyway watch Ratatouille on friday. It was a really good movie! a must see…. Pixar are def back on top!!!!
Then on Saturday evening, Myself, Thach, Monica, Jessi, Emily and Emily’s co-worker went of for a Fruli drinking session… After that we all went to watch Ratatouille! Thanh joined us for that. Quite a fun night.
Sunday… went to have a good bye for Son with Thach and Monica. Went to Nando for some tasty Chicken, After that played Buzz for the rest of the afternoon.
Quite an eventful weekend for me actually.
Been ill for the pass few days… Monday didn’t really wanna go in… but had 2 important meetings so had to force myself in… but for the past 2 days i’ve stayed at home but that does mean i get away from work as having a work mobile means people call to ask questions… some of which can actually wait.
Anyway. When i was in on monday I was at the Marylebone office… this place is very corporate like, everyone here is suited compared to my paddington office which is not very corporate at all. I guess because it’s in Marylebone its got to look the part… Went to have a lunch down Marylebone, the sandwiches are so expensive!
oh dear!
While drinking over the weekend… A few people have said that Fruli is a girls drink! Me loving it had to defend the drink… Thach decided to settle it by text AQA which is one of those text any question you like services.
anyway for the Record Fruli isn’t a girls drink!!!! picture below.
This week i’ve been preparing for my interview… this is like the hardest interview i’ve ever had for a while. I gotta prepare a presentation… I’m really shit at it so Monica and Emily have been helping me becuase i’m shit at figures.
A really gotta thank them cos if i had to do this on my own i don’t think i would have got anywhere. Anyway my interview in on Fri wish me luck!
This weekend was a wierd one… Everyone was very perverted! even the well mannered ladies were perverted!
Sexual innuendo were occuering all weekend… along with the childish giggles that go with it.
Anyway… Fri it was Thanh Bday so went to this Brasillian bar down covent garden… it was quite good actually only problem was that I was quite tired so i didn’t stay late.
Sat went to see the Moscow State circus… the last time i went to watch this was when i was 8 years old… so was it good? it was actually quite entertaining… I’m surprise in this day and age the Art of circus performing is still going strong.
After that went to eat Jap in Eailing, very tasty! the soft shell crab is the best i’ve tasty!
A very enjoyable weekend… thank you guys for making it a fun one!
In the final 3 of applicant for a sweet IT post… I really want this job… alot more money and my own parking spot… for the final round i’ve been given some task to analyse data which i will have to present at the interview…. seems quite hard…..
The other night i went to see Philharmonia Orchestra play at the Video game live event. Basically 3 hours of Gaming music played perfectly by an orchestra.
My fav was prob the Kingdom Heart music… they also played the classics like Sonic and Mario… Video games music has come a long way.sincei was little..
this is the 555th blog entry… wow!!!!
anyway. I went clubbing on sat…. i didn’t even plan to, hence the very casual look… but i was convinced to go by Jess… I was just intended to have a very early night… lol…
I enjoy it though… good music… great people… glad i went now… had to leave early cos i was feeling quite tired…
I’m totally broke till friday now… If you are rich and would like to donate money to me please contact me…
Yes the weekend is here again!!!! i feel so happy…
Friday night went to have a meal with a friend…. Went to Thai Soho …. quite good and tasty :p
Saturday… got dragged out at 11.30am for dimsum… 11.30AM is so early man!
Anyway myself and Emily went to the Pop Art Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. The exhibition cost £9 each but Emily had free tickets… Cheers dude!
Quite impressed with the collection on show… normally I’m not a real big fan of art but Pop art I can handle…
Afterwards went shopping, went to Selfridges wanted to spend Anna‘s gift vouchers that she gave to me on my bday but i didn’t know what to get… I didn’t want to just waste them on anyhting, i wanted to buy something meaningful so i couldn’t find anything so gonna keep them for a while (Anna you might need to help me find something :p) … anyway ended up in Primark…. that place is chaos… how do people shop there…
Afterwards it was on to Nara with Monica and Thach…. food was good value…. good price for korean food.
After that went to have a drink at the Secret Bar… then went home…
