Thanks for the concern!
4:50 pm Fri, 8th July 2005Just wanted to thank everyone for their concern in contacting me via this site or email or msn. Never had so many ppl asking me if I was ok!!! 🙂 Anyway, last night I managed to get home fine – caught the overland train home ok and my stations were open. Glad I don’t work in the actual city, where everyone had to walk out! Going into work this morning wasn’t too bad… a few delays.. they closed and evacuated a station (guess they’re being ultra cautious now) which affected one of the lines I catch so had to go an alternate route.
Anyway finally the weekend! Woohooo!! Looking forward to watching War Of The Worlds tonight, biiiig screen cinema at Odeon, Leicester Square. Hope its good, but I’ve heard its only so-so. Oh well, I’ll still enjoy it at least for the big cinema experience and special effects. Also am going to Canterbury (yes, as in Chaucer and The Canterbury Tales) this weekend, which should be nice. Gonna experience some English countryside. (Coz I still haven’t been outside London yet!!)
Final Step In Official Independance
Guess what! I found a flat! Woohoo! I’m gonna be officially independant as of next weekend when I’ll be moving out of my cousin’s place and into my new flat (a 3 bedroom, 2 story flat share with a couple and a guy). It’s in Canada Water, which is south east… very close to central london in Zone 2.. and VERY close to my work. Basically I’m just east of my work by 2 tube stops! 5 min tube journey! Or a bus takes me from practically door to door in about 20 mins!! 🙂 There’s even a night bus that stops just outside on the main road. The flat also overlooks the docks… yep.. I have water views. How sweet is that! The rent is really decent too… 125/wk including all bills, tax, wireless broadband internet, sky plus tv. Not bad at all. I have a small double room… which has a double bed, built in wardrobes and a bedside drawer… but no room for anything else really.
So… the final step. Very excited am I! 🙂 Pics to come after I move in.
Ok gotta go… its nearly 6pm on a Friday eve and I’m still at work! I’m outie! Gonna head to the pub for a drink with workmates. 🙂

Hey Kaz,
Glad to hear you’re safe and Congrats on the new place!
Hopped on to check that you were okay, but couldn’t remember your blog address, so did a google search (like your colleagues – hehe!) and found the following:

She sounds so much like you that for the first paragraph, I thought you had just changed your blog look and that you’d hurt your knee!
Freaky! 2 such similar Karen Chiu’s in the world. She wears khaki pants too! 😉
Take care,
D
ps: Saw Black Eyed Peas perform at Live8 on TV and have to say that i’m not a fan ….
