Feeling thirsty

Friday, August 8th, 2008

The manager asked us for drinks at starbucks, and one of the managers asked for a…

“Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Decaf Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet’N Low and One Nutrasweet, and Ice”

One day I’ll try ordering one of those bad boys, but for now, a lovely strawberry frapperdappercino will do, i even got a lollypop 🙂

Update: The cherry flavoured lollypop tasted like peking duck o_O

New York and England

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

One of the main topics of discussion when talking about New York at the office with the New York folk is talking about what differences New York has over ye olde London. Most of them are well known but it’s a lot cooler when you experience it first hand, anyway here’s the list of things I’ve noticed when I’m in New York… and ONLY things I’ve noticed:

New York New York! My trip there…

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Work have been lovely by provided me a lovely all expenses paid trip to New York. It was the first time I will be flying on an airplane and more importantly, it’s been a long time since I’ve been abroad! Most of the week was work related however during the evenings I was able to catch loads of places out and do as much touristing as I could. I believe the main theme of new york was to really abuse the tourist status as well as recreate as many things “Friends” related as possible! I don’t know but it just seemed that Friends was one of the first thing that comes to mind when you think of New York and since I’m quite a fan of the show I was hoping to do as many things that had a Friends reference. I’m going to embed them within the post, see how many you can get and post them on the comments section 😉

Goodbye London

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Well, kinda all packed up and ready to go now, granted it’s now 4am in the morning and I doubt I can get any proper sleep. Funny how I can’t seem to stuff my suitcase full of stuff, hopefully it’ll be nice and full when I come back (and hopefully not filled with JUST lucky charms haha). Not really set on things to do and see so I’ll just post them up here and hopefully people can post on what they think I should do so I can check it out and go 🙂 Would really appreciate it if you can all start listing them because I want to really make the most out of my trip to New York.

Actually I’ll just post that on another post, this will be my goodbye post hehe. Anyway, I think the thing that will drive me mad most is when I’m up in New York is company (or a lack of). Hopefully I can phone up Kiernan when everyone else is asleep hehe (she doesnt mind :p). But otherwise it will be around 7.30 where I’ll have a sneaky skype with people before I head off to work (mmm 10 minute trip).

It is going to be weird travelling by air for the first time. Luckily I’m going with a manager so I’m not on my own cocking up or something. The films on board are pretty cool too, I can watch either Atonement, Control or Rush Hour 3 (might do all 3) but chances are I’ll be sleeping most of the flight due to the fact that I’m still up typing this and getting ready.

So yeah, farewell London. Will be back Sunday morning feeling perhaps slightly jetlagged and maybe hungry for some sushi (though there’s a sushi bar in my hotel which I’m very keen in visiting hehe). No idea why I’m even posting this because I will clearly get wireless in my hotel room and surf the internet when I’m back home from doing whatever hehe. So yeah, goodbye folks.

Going to new york!

Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

It appears that I’ll be going to New York on the 21st. I’m going with a work colleague so the journey won’t be solo so that’s good. Quite excited about it all since I haven’t went abroad in quite some time, the only time when i had a chance to go was when there was a spare ticket to Sweden, shame i had interviews then and a lack of a valid passport which rendered me stuck in England.

I’ll be staying at the tudor hotel, it looks pretty fancy I must say, raddison at lexington. Hope they have free wifi there for the early morning or evening browsings but i suppose I should be going sightseeing on evenings just to make the most of my visit.

there’s nowt places i really want to go to tbh, I suppose it will be fun to visit the museum of modern art and hopefully check out art tatooed onto fat guys hehe. Central park sounds fun too, the only time I can go however is on Monday which is Martin Luther King day (lucky). pretty excited about checking out the head office too, my manager works there so it would be nice to meet him and all.

Graduation is up on friday, can’t wait. Though only because alice is visiting, not really keen on meeting other students and all to be honest, my uni housed a lot of lazy retards.

Commuting

Wednesday, December 19th, 2007

Rightio, I thought I’d make use of the time on the tube and write blog entries instead of watching futurama or playing ds on the tube.

I’ve got the thing almost down to a science, from standing in the right part of the platform to timing myself to leave and arrive to work when it’s least busy and crammed. I think commuting is by far the most annoying thing when i started work, you just sit there waiting for the train to take you from point A to point B. I know there’s nowt i can do about it but it’s well worth a rant (especially when the damn place is packed silly and you’re forced to just stand there doing nothing but make sure you don’t fall on your arse like a mofo).

So yeah, i guess i’ll just have to make the most out of it.

I’m glad i’ve added blogging to the list of things to do when i’m on the tube because it was starting to get boring, here’s my lovely list of things i can get up to:

Sadly out of those things i could do, blogging seems to be the only one that’s actually productive..

I’m writing this using the notepad on my phone and syncing it up when I’m back home. The process is slightly tiddly but all in all a smooth process. I might look out for blogging clients on my phone to speed up the process further but I prefer the good old fashioned text editing and copying/pasting it onto here.

Anyway, yeah, expect future blog entries painfully written on my mobile hehe.

I have a job!

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

I finally got a job offer as Technical Consultant in a nice company. Salary was really nice and it was located in central London. I was able to pay Alice a quick visit since they messed up their timing on when I actually started which meant I was able to book tickets to Halifax and spend a weekend up north before finally starting my job. The weekend was simple but amazing. It was a nice feeling marking the task off finding a job on 43 things as done. You get a proper jump from it all.

Initially my job would be a Oxford Circus however we were going to move to East London (company merged with a bigger company) to enjoy a larger office at a larger company too.
