The Return!!

Perhaps not exactly the same. It was about a year ago I stopped posting, cos I got a job, for a year. But now i'm back, but I'm not prepared to continue thsi blog quite yet. I ahve some unfinished business elsewhere to tend to first. And also I have a job!

Its ok, I still go largely unwashed!

Just finished restoring my PC after formatting the hard disk. Its Sunday and that means it’s a chilled day, what better way of wasting time than by sorting the problems you cause for yourself by messing with your PC! Now I have all my music on ipod and pictures on it too I can wipe my disk drive. Well that’s really what I bought the external hard disk for, but I was too lazy before. I haven’t got any further in my clear up of my stuff. It’s at the same stage. I just know that when I move the stuff to dads there will be a whole lot of stuff that I want put with it but its gonna be too late! Dad’s going to S’pore on the 5^th, which should be before I leave for Korea.

Both WMP and itunes have to find all the music I got on my external. It takes ages!

I have to say I am very impressed with the performance of my PC since cleaning it up. Although, oddly, windows will not load fully if there is a CD in the drive, although it’s not doing anything and not a system disk thingy. Its really nice not to have to click through a number of pop ups on start up as well.

Just realized after about 6 hours that I don’t actually have any sound, I’ve been listening to the radio instead of the PC. Fired up CZ, and realized I don’t have the driver for the sound card, in fact I don’t even know what the card is! d/l’ing a driver for it now will have to see what happens. Other than that it’s a good change! My screen looks clearer, I don’t know why but its all a lot nicer!

Right back to it, gonna keep sorting the little things out on my PC then go and cook.

The clear up is good...

Sorted almost all of my rubbish out and into keep, throw and give away piles and boxes. The next big thing will be sorting exactly what I am going to take by way of clothes. I have packed a box up of clothes that I will not be taking for sure but I have quite a lot of clothes and I'm not too sure if they will all fit into the case I am thinking of taking. Well, mum told me that if I want I can take hers, so that means I would probably be able to take almost everything I want and a few pairs of trainers.

something I cant live without, my AirMax '95 's. I have three pairs of them, only two of them I use and only really one of them is in full use. I am saving one pair only for summers, cos they are definitely summer shoes. The pair I have that aren't in use at all are the same as the other summer ones, but I just had to buy two pairs! I was thinking of selling them, but that means that I would have to find another pair of trainers that were nearly as nice, and that would be hard! These are the Olympic Edition ones which were only Japan release, and are in white with the 5 colours of the Olympic rings on the side. I wonder....

WOW! Just checked ebay and there are two pairs of these trainers, one is buy now at $165 and the other is $200! When I bought them there were a few of them on sale, but I didn't get them from eBay I got them from this site called oldschoolsneeks.com, which is brilliant! And I only got them for about £45! ahahhahahhahahah! I was thinking, if I still have the new trainers in 2012...Whenn the games are coming to London...Perhapss they'd be worth more! Will have to see about that!

this is a hall from the British Museum, nice! I forgot again to add pictures to the last blog so heres a picture!
And the train is in Brighton Station. Nice train!

Employed!?!?

I think this is going to be one of the last blogs I stick up on this space. I reckon that I will start a new one for the Korea trip as I haven’t told anyone aobut this one. Its nice to keep things personal sometimes. Especially this, its nicer to know that or think that nobody I know will read this, mostly I reckon that nobody will read it anyway!

Got the confirmation of my teaching job in Korea and have accepted it, all I have to do is send a copy of the contract with my mark on it. Which is a bit of a pain cos I don’t even have a printer to print the thing out on! That’s not really a problem. I got my ipod in the post as well. Got it yesterday and transferred all my music to and all my pictures and all my documents… well almost all of that, I had to ditch some of the music to fit all of the pictures on the ipod, but I am not sure that I will need all the pictures, in fact I know I wont, but its nice to have them. While I’m away I doubt that I will get more music onto my ipod cos I wont have a pc with itunes to sort it. Well I’ve got yamipod on my ipod now so that’s cool. I might take some of the photos off… maybe some of the music I wont listen to. But I have already noticed that I am listening to different stuff cos I sort by album. Right now I am still running out the battery for the first time and I’m listening to Original Pirate Material – The Streets, which I haven’t listened to for quite a while!

I’m sitting in my room with a pretty much all my stuff out of the loft in my room. Its messy. Very messy. But I think it could be worse. I’ve been bringing down the boxes and looking in side, mostly thinking, why did I keep this, then I remember the sentimental value, then its straight in the bin! There Is quite a lot that reminds me of my ex girlfriend. Its not a bad thing remembering the past and the good times, but it also reminds me of how empty I have felt at points since starting uni and splitting up with my ex, or to put it more accurately my ex splitting up with me. It was a good thing really, I had no worries, no ties that bind. But I like to share my time and thoughts and feelings and my dreams with people who are close to me. And I have missed out on three years of sharing and time with someone. Well its more than three years now. I have been single for a few months longer than I was attached now, having broken up about 3 and a half years ago. I miss my ex, but shes not the same person anymore and nor am I so at least I understand that its not the same anymore, the person I miss doesn’t exist anymore, things change and that’s the only consistent thing in the world, change.

Take it easy

monster monster!

AHHHH piss! I just spent the last however long looking at more boring and otherwise foreign blogs. But once again I enjoyed one. Was a little bit frustrated, but then again so's mine! Here's another picture! Its of a monster... I was putting my laundry in the machine when I looked down and it was on my leg! And I didn't notice, also surprising I didn't freak, but managed to trap it in pint glass! I think it was tired from spending a reasonable period stuck in my washing! Unlucky!


It was pretty big those floor tiles are a good 30 cm across. And theres my little mate in a pint glass. I went on the liberate it into the garden, deep into the garden!

My boring blog

WOW! Just spent about 20 minutes surfing other blogs, and I have to say that my blog MUST be as boring as all of the other ones out there! I think I read one that I enjoyed the others were pretty boring… like this one! Hahahaha oh well, I guess it reflects on my present situation!.

I was thinking of starting a new blog if I go to Korea, and I might even ad pictures to it as well! :O GASP! Getting technical!

Right! I’m gonna add a picture to this blog! I like this one cos it reminds me of my soul-home… Brighton… I miss it, I really do.

Well that seems pretty easy, never even bothered to think of it before, so I’m gonna sticka bunch of photos up of random stuff you might (not) like!

Hit me up!

I was supposed to receive a call today from the Korea school that I am supposed to be working at but they didn’t call. I got up early and everything! Don’t matter I’m sure that they’ll call tomorrow.

Really didn’t try to look for jobs today. I just wanna go away to Korea. I’m looking forwards to it! I ordered an ipod today over the phone and got a nice little inscription on the back. It’s a movie quote from the film I have watched the most and do really enjoy. Perhaps I’ll tell you another time what it is.

Its odd getting up early cos then I have loads of time on my hands! Yesterday I got up.. messed about for a while, job hunted a bit, played a bunch of games, ate lunch and walked into town to go to the bank and when I got back it was 2.30pm. which gave me about 2 hours before I had to even start cooking.

But I haven’t been swimming for about a week now, doing all these other bits have got in the way of a routine. Its also nice to spend time here and there with my mate round the corner while I can. I called another uni friend up this evening and had a chat, he’s good. His job is taking over his life, which is good for now. But sounds like he’s still having fun. Think that I’ll meet up with him in Brighton when I go down, which is something I haven’t decided yet, perhaps I’ll think about it tomorrow. I was going to make the decision after I got the call from Korea, so if definitely got the job I would have gone down for sure, but there is still a little doubt, cos until I have the ticket and am there its not going to be real. I am close to a job, I can almost smell the kimchi!

Yong-au-rrl ah shim mi ta!

Rightio, had a pretty good weekend! Went out for my mums boyfriend’s birthday to a local thai restaurant which was really quite good, just like I remember from the first time I went there. But I haven’t been to Thailand yet so I cant really compare it.

I am going full steam ahead for these jobs in Korea. I have pretty much given up looking for a job in the UK, no body wants me! (

It doesn’t matter.

Then on Sunday went for a meal at my dad’s and he had some friends over, had a chat with dad about Korea and he started to support me a bit more. He seemed a bit sceptical about it, but so am I. On the other hand that’s not going to put me off. I am in a bit of a cushie position here right now, claiming benefits living at home, and I feel that this is not how my life should be. It should be exciting I should be taking chances and doing exciting stuff, not signing on every couple of weeks and speculative job applying.

So on Monday I went into town to the Korean Embassy and sorted my degree notarisation thing. Which my dad said that it would cost £40 but it was only £2.50 (not including the day I spent in town and travel and stuff). It was good cos I used that opportunity to hook up with my brother. He is pretty happy, just got a new job and a bit of a pay rise so that’s good news. I think now he can get on the property ladder and start the long slow climb! I am thinking of moving in with him when I get back from Korea (assuming Korea is a certainty!) and going to a London university to get an MSc. I think that’s a good idea. I’d quite like to go to Imperial perhaps, and do Environmental Management and something or another. It sounds pretty perfect. I am also temped to do an Open University course.

A friend just told me that it was her birthday this Sunday and that she is going out on Saturday night. I might go down to kill two birds… to wish happy birthday and to see my mates a last time before I go to Korea. I asked my dad if he’d lend me a ton if I went to Korea, he said he’d give it to me, which was nice. Its not a massive amount but its something, I think I will need it by the sounds of it! If I have to pay for my own ticket I will need to fork out about £370 for that, and then I will not be paid for about a month after that, so I will need expenses.

And I am going to have to get some sort of entertainment… ipod, Sony mp3 walkman, or something. I am thinking the ipod because of the picture facilities. When in Korea I am thinking I might get PSP or something, depending on what I earn/save.

Right I feel like I am gonna hurl since eating dinner, so I am gonna chill for a bit.

title tittle

Well, I found my goggles the day after I thought that I’d lost them, what a surprise! They happened to be in my room, virtually under my nose. But just yesterday the bridge between the two eye pieces broke, which sucked! But I got a spare from a pair of goggles a mate had. In fact it came off the eye piece bit that I gave him a replacement for. Its been nice to have a friend so close during this pretty bad time for me. But I don’t want to be someone to hang onto anyone else. I don’t think I am hanging on to him. He’s got a girlfriend and is often away, but I just don’t like the thought that I might be a fly in the soup of someone’s business. Well I will soon be gone. I am going to flee the country! Looks more and more as if my prospects lie elsewhere, teaching English to enthusiastic foreigners. Hopefully it will be fun kids in Korea, as soon as I have got my documents together, there are just a few things that I have to get together… that reminds me write a list of all the shit I have to do tomorrow. My post-its have disappeared!

I’ve often thought this: wouldn’t it be nice to know where things are when you want to have them, which would defeat the evil stage of looking for stuff when you can’t find it, cos you’d know where it is.


I will revert to my non-sticky very small pad of paper

• Call uni


• Call Korean Embassy


• Swim (?)


• Dust room!!!


• Go into the loft and find a box of shit to throw away.

Where I don’t move stuff in my room I have a lot of dust, I don’t exactly know where it comes from, perhaps the over sized road near by, but most probably the main source is me. Wherever I have lived, well both of the places I have lived, have had dust problems, and I con only see two things that link them; me, and the oversized road which provided the sound track to my childhood. I remember once when I went to a campsite with a couple of my friends as a 16 year old. It was by the sea, literally it was over the road from the beach, it was superb! But in the morning before I had realised where I was and got excited, I’d think I was at home because the sea rustling over the stones on the beach sounded just like the 8-laner near my home.

The mornings were really nice during that holiday. I was a light sleeper and sleeping with a snorer and a guy that moved a lot wasn’t the best place for me. So I’d get up at sunrise and go sit on the beach, have a nap, or maybe draw a crap picture to pass the time. I was blissfully happy that week, I was away from home on holiday with my friends without any responsible adults, I had just started to go out with my ex-girlfriend at that point as well. So I had a lot to smile about. That week was great, all we did was chill, drink and eat. I have the best set of pictures from that holiday! ‘The Holiday Snaps’ as we refer to them as will go down in my pages of history. Just the thought of them makes me laugh! We went around on a couple of occasions just taking pictures of us with random people. The first we got was quite funny, don’t know what came over us, but was jumped on this girl and said BE IN OUR PHOTO! When this other lady came over and asked if we wanted her to take a picture, cos there was me with outstretched arm taking a picture of four people. So we said, no no no! Be in a picture instead! Of course she agreed.

The best thing about it was; we got a picture of a doorman when we asked for directions to the station, just before we got lost, and when I went to uni I went to the same place and saw that same guy strolling about town! Aahhhhh the memories.

Where was I… oh yeah I was thinking that I don’t think I have anything to write about today, I am just bored and thought that I’d be able to chill and pass some time by sticking more boring blog up for all you no-one to read! I was telling y’all about my foreign prospects, maybe if I don’t go off at a tangent I will let you know another time.
