My Blue Heaven

Thanks for the concern!

Just 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. 🙂

I’m ok!!!

Just letting you all know I’m ok, if you’ve heard the news about London. If you haven’t heard… there’s been bomb blasts all over central london transport… in 6 tube locations, and 1 bus. Its chaos in central london. Half our office wasn’t able to get in.

We’ve been watching sky and bbc news on tv here keeping up with the latest news as it happens. Its pretty scary…. we got in touch with one of our clients who was actually on the first of the tube trains that exploded. Coming into Edgeware Road from Kings Cross. He was in the back carriage and the explosion happened in the front 2. Apparently the blast was so strong the roof of the trains blew off, soot and smoke everywhere and they were waiting there for 30 mins not knowing what was happening. Finally when they were able to get out, they had to walk over people/bodies(?) to get out.

Also a girlfriend of my workmates friend was at Camden stuck, and overheard military people (who are drafted in to help) saying that they’ve actually defused another 4 bombs around central london, but aren’t announcing this fact. I really hope there isn’t going to be any more repeats of this later today..

Anyways… its pretty chaotic in central London… diff reports coming in from all over the place. No idea about number of fatalities yet. I’m sure it will all become clear over time. At this stage, I’m just dreading trying to get home from work this evening….

Current listening :: “Into You” – Fabolous feat Tamia

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for..

People at work found my blog. Including my boss. How embarrassment. Err I mean… hey guys! *waves hello dutifully* Hrm I wonder if those jedi mind tricks would work here… *passes hand through the air* Nothing to see here. Move along.. move along..

So apparently someone did a google search on “A.d.g.i.s.t.i.c.s” and my site came up. Damn google ranking my site so high. How do I go about err… making my site less searchable? Then again maybe it’s not such a bad thing.. maybe I should take advantage of this and try make some money or something… just so that the site can pay for itself. Hosting this ain’t that cheap. Hrmm. But then, would I be compromising the integrity and purity of my site if I put those evil banner ads up? Hrmm. Although, those google adsense ads don’t seem as bad as the ugly banner ads you normally get.

So what do you, my readers (and lurkers), think? (Note my subtle attempt to draw the lurkers out of the shadows..)

Weekend update

I. Am. So. Sore. At least my back muscles are. I dunno what was different about the Fusion Funk class I did on saturday, but damn my muscles got quite a workout. I suppose it was a VERY energetic class… which I really enjoyed. I was absolutely dripping sweat by the end. Not a good look coz my khaki cargos change colour when wet.. so I had these huge, very obvious darkened sweat patches around the butt/legs… ewww. I need more discrete cargos. Perhaps next time I’ll go with black.

Anyways, I had a good weekend. Relaxing and fun. Also went to Salsa class again on Friday night, which was great! I’m really loving salsa atm… I’m gonna stick with it for a while, make sure I go every week, so I can progress and get that solid basic foundation. I think next Fri I’ll move up to level 3. 🙂

*sigh* I love dancing. There actually is not much else in the world that makes me as happy as dancing does. I am always on such a high after a dance class. There’s nothing quite like it. I may not be an awesome dancer, and I know I’d never “make it” as a dancer… but I still love it.. plus its great exercise too. I was pondering about it the other day… why I like it so much. I think its the dual combination of movement/physical expression/exercise… and music. Coz I love music.. and listening to music. And I also love exercise.. I love the feeling of pushing yourself physically, and of expressing yourself physically through movement… the intensity of dance. And then combine those two together… its a winning combination! 🙂 And its natural.. listening to upbeat music naturally makes you want to move.

Ok I’ll stop ranting about dance. Methinks I’ve exhausted the topic for now. 😛

Ooh yesterday I made myself the yummiest lunch! I bought some tortilla bread, in which I wrapped up some baby cos lettuce, tomatoes, grated cheddar cheese, marinated tomato & basil chicken strips with this yummy tomato & roasted onion sauce/dressing. Soooooo nice. I’d been craving a wrap for ages… and decided to go make my own coz I didn’t like what they put in the pre-made ones – they always use too much cream based sauces. Anyway, I only used half the ingrediants yesterday, so I brought the rest in to make myself lunch at work today! Yay! 🙂

Also, there is one food in the UK that kicks Australia’s arse…. the STRAWBERRIES. They are soooooooo nice here. Soooo sweet and succulent. Mmmmmmm. I looooove strawberries!! Been buying em almost every day to eat at work. I even have it down to the type of strawberries I like. The ones from Kent are really nice… either Elsanta or Jubilee variety. Yummm. 🙂 And 400g for £1.99 at Marks & Spencers. Not bad pricing.

Oh I got this email from a friend. Ok so I normally just delete forwarded emails… but I thought this one was rather sweet…

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends. Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, “…that’s her.”
