Friday!

Friday, August 5th, 2005

Woo hoo.. I love Friday! Feeling refreshed despite the dreadful weather (can’t quite believe it’s middle of summer) Only 4 people in the office today and two will be out later on. That would leave just myself and Kevin the accountant, he’ve kindly bought a bottle of wine in and we’ve decided to have fish&chips for lunch, hee hee.. surely we are going to get ‘loads’ done this afternoon. Nice early start of the weekend!

I’m in the process of loading more photos up onto my album so please do come back to check it out. Unfortunately, photo allowance is limited to 50 pics per month so it might takes some time to complete. God, just realised I have taken too many photos in the past two years!

National Health Services

Thursday, August 4th, 2005

Was watching this programme last night about the young girls going through plastic surgeries. I am shocked to discovered that the NHS performs around 3000 Otoplasty a year for people with protruding ears (hhmmm..like Mikes)

It’s hard to believe that NHS would spend such money on non-life threatening cosmetic surgery when most hospitals are lack of fundings for everything.

There was another undercover programme I watches few weeks back about the old cancer sufferers being treated so badly, they’re being neglected for basic human needs due to insufficient of caring nurse in the ward. I’m talking about old patient who supposed to get constant care, not having a drop of water to drink for 11 hours, drugs are not given to them on time, sleep or eat on their dirty bed as sheets are not changed after they made a mess etc etc… our NHS is just so screwed up!

And me as another example, I suffer from painful bunions but what do I get? I was told to seek help from private podiatrist as it is not available on NHS.

What makes me even angrier is that Mike didn’t get his monkey ears pinned back when he’s a kid! It’s not fair :P

p.s the same programme also showed a 15 years old girl having liposuction procedure to remove fat from her tummy, bum and thighs. The day before her surgery, she had pizza for dinner and guess what’s the first thing she said after.. ‘I want something to eat’!! Hahhaha, excellent! obviously can’t wait to fatten herself up again.

Guys free weekend

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

It’s only Wednesday but I have already planned out my weekend. I have invited the girls round on Saturday for some champagne, chocolate and cheesecake, have our girlie chat and watch some chick flicks.

On Sunday I’m just going to have some quiet ‘me’ time… I’m quite looking forward to it :)

Whereas the guys, they are are off to Prague for some cheap Czech women & nasty Czech beer, oh and hmm.. the culture - yes very ’sophisticated’ indeed!

Every second a new blog is born

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

According to a newspaper article, Blogs are the Internet phenomenon of 2005 with an estimated 30 million of them expected by the end of the year. (I thought ‘blog’ has been going on for quite some time now?!)

People are making it part of their lives and the blogs can reveal your deepest scerets, demand political change and even cost you your job.

One ex-Waterstone’s worker was fired after nicknaming the firm ‘Bastardstone’ and his evil boss a ’sandal wearer’.

So all you blogger out there think twice before you say anything stupid!

Alcohol

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Just want to make a note of my alochol intake over the weekend:

Friday night - half a bottle of wine and two glasses of champagne

= 10 units of alcohol and 415 calories

Sunday Night - 2 large gin & tonic

= 4 units of alcohol and 300 calories

Ok, it’s no way as bad as I am used to be but that would mean extra hour of spinning to work them all off :(

No more wedding invites please!

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Have received another wedding invitation over weekend from a couple lives downstairs from us. Why is everyone just decided to get married this year all of the sudden?

Jo & Bruce - Sept

Friend of Mike’s - Sept, a week after Jo & Bruce’s

Sam & Damien - Oct

Biff & Karen - Nov which is split into two consecutive weekends

Not to mention three other weddings I have already attended earlier in the year. Please for the sake of my new TV, no more weddings…
