From a spending frenzy to a pain in the ass

i spent so much money today that i just want to forget all bout it....but how can i??

damn sad man i invested in a decent bike today for 100 pounds(mind u thats the regular price for mountain bikes here) with the money ive been earning to earn more money since ive been spending 4 pounds everytime just to get to work. so i had to go all the way to the this place called manchester fort and cuz i dunno the shorter way back to my house i had to cycle the bike all the way back to the city(10 minutes) then back to my house (20minutes) then to work(40 minutes) and then back again(40 minutes) hence the fked up ass cheek bones and quadriceps. so damn hilly oso. my body is beyond pooped but my mind doesnt let it sleep...celeka

check out my new ride








oooo and this combi lock doesnt come for free man......10 pounds mind u

How would u expect everyone to go green if cycles cost so much in the first place? the government should provide cash rebates or something seeing as they are so fanatically environmentally conscious now.

aside from that i finally got myself a coat for winter after getting my bike and u dont wanna know how much it costs. even after the new VAT reductions and a student discount the amount is still relatively substantial.

oo i and i bought a german gammon ham sandwich at the christmas market...4.5pounds....bloody overpriced but i had to try it for some reason....

On a side note, the thomas left for paris this morning at 350 am leaving elo alone. she couldnt stop crying till he left. which meant that i couldnt fall asleep till he left. OOO OOO btw i forgot to mention something.....nvr ever ever ask french ppl to help u buy some groceries even if its just 2 simple items such as milk and bread and even after they take pictures of it......like seriously ......they took frikkin pictures....lesson learnt

My first european tip!

Woooooooooooot!

I remember when i got my biggest tip ever of rm3 while i was working back in tao, i practically couldnt sleep dat nite cuz the excitement and thrill of getting it drove me nutz.

Check this out.....



Yes count it....

12.85 pounds altogether. n guess wad.....it came from only 2 customers. but im not as excited as i was like back when i got 3 ringgit....




y? u ask...


mainly becuz one guy who was servicing only 4 tables the whole nite got 99 quid in tips all from also only 2 customers....yes 99 quid. one guy gave him 74 pounds and another gave him 25....wtf -.-


ive also heard of someone getting tipped 200 pounds by 1 customer b4. thats currently the record at the place im working


seems like its commonplace to tip like mad over here. good for me then :p


but mind u i did work my ass off and had to embarrass myself by going through protocols of introduction la, constant customer focus la and personal connections la....but it did pay off



though my legs are killing me now after working for almost 10 hours today....


ooo n yes, there were a few CFH(customers from hell) if u know wad i mean.....really knn wan. and i noticed that how ppl like to sabotage others just to get away with their own mistakes.....
there're plenty of bullies around too and seeing as im quite new and meek, they tot i was a pushover.....no no no mister, u messed with the wrong guy




yea a few racists sexists ppl around too but wadeva...england is shit after all n im only doing this for the money :p






ooo oo oo and 1 more thing i forgot to mention, someone left this behind lol

Aisi man

My sleeping time is all screwed up now thx to my assignments and this weather.

So wads with the title u ask?
Well its cuz i woke up at 4 pm today and i realized it was already dark...AGAIN. so that means i din even get to see the sun today. so this is how a vampire would prolly plan his winter eh....

neway it finally SNOWED! after much anticipation i realized snow isnt as great as its cut out to be. y? becuz manc is such a dirty dirty place that the snow becomes all gray and icky. Dust & litter everywhere...

In fact, theres so much litter around that even after the frenchies cleaned up the front yard, it only took all of 2 days for it be scattered with doritos and bloody indian take out packages again....ewww prolly cuz im staying in a student concentrated area la but do they have to litter when theres a bin just a few metres down the road....

hmmm....im losing all my creativity in cooking. all i do know is cook something that is simple, fast and requires the least amount of utensils and plates to save on washing later.

been watching british tele without a liscence lately and i must say, there are some shows which are really great like 8 out of 10 cats and never seen before independent movies. good stuff good stuff.

o and i learnt through 8 out of 10 cats that 1 in 5 or was it 10 parents think that jaffa cakes and crisps/chips/potatoes contribute to their 5-a-day.....wth

anyway gonna continue watching shipuuden now. :p
