One Year Later

Its been nearly a year that I've been in London. I moved in about this time last year if im not mistaken. Makes sense for me to write this now, as I'm going off on holiday with my parents and wont be having a net connection with me.

A year is a long time. A lot of things can happen in a year. I've learnt a lot. I can admit theres a lot of me that has changed to adapt to living in London. One would be the amount of walking that I do. Its quite common for me to not take the bus when im in central london. I could walk all the way from waterloo to Regents Park, not bothering to take the bus. If I'm not pressed for time that is.

I've learnt that when you give something your best shot, it shows. My team mates harp on endlessly about kaizen, or continous improvement, and that belief spurs me on to try and be a better person. If you're determined enough, you can achieve what you want.


I've learnt too, that people change over time. You think you know someone nearly all your life, and you realise that its not what you expected it to be. I've managed to see those who care, and those who dont. I've also learnt that sometimes people value you more than you think and its important not to forget that. Some however, are just fair weather friends and should be avoided like a coughing chicken.


So whats the outlook for summer? I'll be working at Zaid Ibrahim & Co. as a slave/intern, and probably be watching the world cup. It'll be nice, though i wish the lads will be with me, but hey, autumn comes and theres some games to watch at arse-burton grove (arsenal) and if i do have some spare cash, maybe a trip to see premiership newbies Watford and Liverpool. Who knows.


So yeah, its been a crazy year. But hey, you know when its me, nothing's ever ordinary.



Im off for a couple of weeks, I wont be online but I'm reachable on the phone. If I dont reply, it probably means im out of credit, so do bear in mind. Take care people, and lets have a great world cup summer.


By the way my three teams for this world cup is England, Holland, and Australia. England is default team, Holland because I think theyre pretty good, and Australia, well thats because I have this feeling that with Viduka, Kewell, good organisation and Guus Hiddink's great tactic book can probably push them to the second round. Any more than that would be wishful thinking though.



Take care people. love u all.
