Digital Panda – LifeStream

it was one of those weekends… where i thought id be staying in for the weekend but nope i was all out!

Friday went to see Hot Fuzz with Yee …. now i have to admit it wasn’t a movie i’d thought i would like but it was actually really good and funny… went to eat at Okawari down soho… it was so nice… the soft shell crab there is sooo nice…

Sat – Met up with Jessi in the afternoon… both was quite hungry… so first place we went to was wagamama to take advantage of the 2 for 1 offer… meal came to £8 for 2 main dishes… really cheap!

Then headed to my secret hiding place… was helping her with a few job stuff… After that made our way to Arriang down golden sq where the table was booked for 9pm… when we got there we wasn’t really hungry… so we decided not to eat… but me being ultra cool didn’t tell the staff i was leaving and Jess was really annoyed about that…

Anyway 10pm after walking round central deciding what to do and where to eat we couldn’t decide… I was tired so i sat on the floor in the middle of china town…. by this time we was both annoyed with each other i think… and like didn’t speak …. but then we were both was diplomatic and decided on Pizza express… and all was happy again….

so the moral of the story here folks is stick to the plan….

On the whole it was a good night… its always nice to meet friends you haven’t met for ages…

I went to a meeting a C&W Hospital today. It’s a really modern modern hospital… I went in and it didn’t even feel like a hospital… it seems to have a great modern atmosphere… would love to work there….

Actually gonna be Hotdesking outta there a few days while they go live…

After that i decided to go meet up with Thanh, Axe, Ben, Seb and Inni for lunch…. it was sooo nice meeting them again…. so much fun… it was nice it was almostly like we never stopped going lunch….

Anyway after that i had to rush back to debrief my line manager and write up my report

Besides that just an average day…. oh actually i forgot… it wasn’t an average day… took my car in to VW this morning… cos of the engine problems i’ve been having since dec… VW took the engine apart today and discovered a problem with the cyclinder head so it looks like i won;t have my car for a while 🙁

I’m thinking perhaps i will drive my Micra instead… but it’s such a non cool car to drive…

Anyway i leave you tonight with a beautiful redition of Koi ni Ochitara… I haven’t been Karaoke for ages! Actually perhaps thats a good thing…

Look we made it onto some random website!

For some reason i like this picture alot (taken by bananna20)… the lighting is very mood settings…

Finally figured out what the blue handsign means now, it means Clean your hands… what a crap waste of a cool logo… that should be on some clothing line…

Recently i’ve been so addicted to facebook… its so cool… its like 10 times better than Friendster…

I’ve got two free tickets to see Outlaw before it comes out but I cant make it so if anyone wants them email me at [email protected]

…. The preview is showing on tuesday at 6.30 if you want the tickets…

The Technical Support manager came up to me today said how was work etc… i told him the truth … its really slow and i’m really bored. He said i’ve noticed that as well I don’t know why they hired me.

I guess the job is slow paced… need to get used to it. Its worrying I’m actually cos 4 NHS Agencies pay for my salary. If one backs out do i lose my job???

I went into work today and found a pin badge on my table… i don’t know what it means… can anyone tell me what this badge means… all the guys seems to have recieved it… but everyone i asked doesn’t know what the badge means so doesn’t anyone know?

Anyway i leave you with Chi pictures from SEone.

SEONE Sat night… Chinese new year party… went with Gemma, Anna, Jessi and Caroline then met up with Melvin, Thanh, Chi , Yen and Son after…

soon after the place got packed i manged to loose everyone in the club and as there was no phone reception in there, I couldn’t find where they were… quite disappointed but unavoidable, cos there was just so many people.

Spent most my night with Jessi and Caroline…. which i really enjoyed… Those two can really dance hahahahaha great fun lol!

I’m really glad they came……

What could have been worse if i lost everyone and was on my own last night….

Generally I enjoyed the night. It was nice to seem everyone again and good to catch up on things.

Long time no post… why? cos i’ve been ill yes as with everyone it seems theres a nasty flu bug going round.

Thursday went out with a had a nice chat and stuff then I gace her a lift back to canada water on the way back i was around Bermonsey i was staring out of the window and i saw a guy staring back… i was like thinking whys that guy looking at me… then it clicked … it was minh!!!! so nice to see him… thought it was some robber eyeing up my car lol.

I’m getting sick of traveling to places for work…. was meant to have a meeting at a Hospital in Chelsea tomorrow but made excuses so i didn’t need to go… its just to cold to travel… couldn’t get myself out of fridays meeting with the Director of IT 🙁

I visited the Helpdesk at the Hospital today as it was part of my orientation… I had to see how it works and what the processes were….. It brought back so many memories…

Today i had the noob IT engineer installing some software on my machine… i was really getting annoyed took him 2 hours to install something simples and he was following instructions… I felt like grabbing the mouse and doing it myself… he’s made a cock out of the install….

Nevermind enough of my moaning…

heres a Youtube i put together… its totally random… so try to enjoy it…

Last year Valentines Day i want out with Anna for dinner 2006 See Link

Well it seems its becoming a yearly habit… It wasn’t really planned just asked at the last moment… I was getting readying to come and just want Top gear or something.

Anyway we went to Pizza Express in Covent Garden…. it was really busy took 30 min just to order food….

I did the most stupid thing… i took my medicine on an empty stomach then i kept drinking wine… i kepts knocking my glass over and dropping my fork 🙁

that reminds me… tuesday i had one of those moments… before i left home i took some medicine when i got to work i took the same medicine again…. i was like shit i’m gonna overdose… my first reactions was to try and throw it up… but that didn’t really work so i called NHS direct… (yes it is ironic that i work in a hospital).. they said its ok… you will live… so all happy..

Anyway thank you anna for keeping me company… i had a good time.

Had a meeting with the project manager alone today… and guess what he asked me… “what is a person like you working for the NHS” to be honest i didn’t even know how to answer that… so i just said career move but i don’t know why i am working for the NHS…. perhaps i hope my work will help people get better?

( Adrian cold? – Picture by Chris .)

Playstation 3 pre-orders were made avaiable at game today still deciding if i should get one or now… not sure yet… seems like alot of money.

Work went a little slow for me this week….. cos the system is not rolled out and only 2 sites are using it for testing… i’ve been sitting down trying to look busy. Highlight of my week was getting my NHS Signle Sign-on Card.

I’ve realised why I was hired for the jobs… orignally it was for managed the CAB system but they decided to get me sorting this new system out. I think the change was cos the new system integrates with the System I was supporting before…

The office i’m in is too quiet! In the office there is only 1 other person besides me… He’s a cool dude… He’s a Data Quality Analyst from Reading and Lives near me so we have a one thing in common. There are 2 other desk which are Hot Desk but they are hardly ever used…

I hardly take a full hour lunch break now cos i have no one to talk to so I normally just walk about in paddington station…

(The best pie and mash i have ever had was from a staff at Paddington station)

Thursday went London HK with haven’t ate a dinner here since Jessi had her Birthday dinner there 2 years ago… the food was sooo yummy and cooked perfectly… It’s Top Quality Chinese Food!

Weekend Stayed over in Reading. Was meant to be Bristol but that’s like far so Reading it was!

Went Shopping at the Oracle. Wasn’t really impressed with the car parking at all…. one in the Carpark it took us 10 min to find a space….

In the evening went to
Loch Fyne Now i have to say… my fav Seafood place was Randall and Aubin in Soho London and Fish Works. But Lochfyne has the freshest and good quality Seafood you can get. The food was amazing…

Sunday night saw myself and co go to see Thai Hip hop sensation Joey Boy and Buddha bless at CC club in london.

It was really good both Joey Boy and Buddha bless gave a wicked performance!

Below is a clip of the performace will add more later

First day working for the NHS… so what is it like? well the stereotype that it is underfunded is not entirely true.

I have a brand new desk, new chair, and a new Dell 3Ghz w/s so that’s a good start so far.

I’ve been given my first project already and itis the implementation of a system for the westminster and kensingotn areas. My first project meeting is on Wednesday so i’m a bit nervous..

The position is totally different from my last job… work seems much more calmer… I’m used to a busy and pressured atmosphere.

Bad point about this job is i still have to deal with the BT service desk!!!!!! something i was looking forward to not doing anymore.

It seems everyone is much older than me and I only share an office with one other person so i doubt i will even make friends here 🙁 so loney….

4th Feb 2007. Another year goes by…

Just a Youtube tonight (the piano reminds me of Anna’s piano esp the cloth on top of it)

I miss people who can play the piano… i used to listen to them play all the time…

I feel so ill… Last night i went for my farewell drinks in Battersea.

I was surprised with the turn out… even people who didn’t normally go for drinks came and some just made the effort just to pop in and wish me well which made me really happy.

It was a suprise that the Customer Service Director put a small tab behind the bar for all of us… (nicely managed by Adrian).

By the end of the night i was totally wasted… it all went down hill once i had that shot …. in the end i was totally smashed and was throwing up outside constantly… i have never been like that ever…

You know working at this company has changed alot in what i believe in.

2 years and 3 months has felt like a lifetime…

I have never met a great bunch of people ever… I spent more time with them than my family so i got to know everyone quite well…

It has been a great pleasure working with all of you.

Thank you to everyone who came… it was a nice way to end my career at the company.

(me throwing up outside)

An emotional day for me…

Today i left the company for good… What i will miss the most is the people there… i have to admit it has been really fun working with everyone…

Reason why i left is cos i thought i couldn’t do a good job anymore… i do feel sorry for my team that i’m leaving behind.

i’m gonna miss the pressured environment and the people.

(Proper gayness)

(reading my leaving card)

(leaving presentation)

(Thanh and I)

(the last lunch)

I haven’t updated for ages… been really busy and stuff……

Friday saw my mate orpi leave the company! So sad… On fri we went to the pub to celebrate….

weekend i didn’t do anything at all… i actually stayed home all weekend… i had to to save money…

Anyway tomorrow is pay day so my bank account will have money again…. i’m hoping to save a bit now as i need to really start saving… at the moment i just spend it like no tomorrow.

Thursday is my last day my current work place. It’s very sad for me because i love the people there.

Today i said my goodbyes to my counter parts at BT Health, and i’m actually gonna keep in touch with some of them. Quite strange why i never went to work for BT as i’m sure my experience would have got me a decent job there.

Tonight i leave you with Sister Jane and Cousin Pina singing out loud… they stop in the middle cos i think my mum scares them or something… they really look like idiots!

I was browsing Match.com tonight (which i don’t normally do). I recieved a wink from someone on it so decided to log on and check it out…. it also recommened i check a few other users profiles as well… so i was looking at them…. one i looked at looked really familar… i was like who this cute girl! checked out the third picture on the profile and saw my mate in one of the pictures… i then realised it was my friends mate and i’d actually seen her before…

it was so wierd seeing her picture on the site.. i though only sad people like me went on it :p

To be fair i have actually met some very nice people on dating and social network sites… it’s really fun meeting new people and stuff.

Me and my sis have gone american drama mad… i’m really addicted to 24 Season 6 and my sister is watching Prison Break … apparently just for one guy in it!

24 so far been really interesting… the story line is amazing!

Have you lot seen the hype for Facebook.com apparently it’s meant to be the next myspace… to me facebook is ok.. the plus point of it is that you can joined really wierd groups on it… besides that it’s not very customisable and not very user friendly…
