Work has been hectic..got more stuff to do nowadays..but i guess having work is always good. going out on site for visual surveys are always fun as u get to travel a lil bit..i find travelling theraputic :) lol.. but its winter now and its COLD...another site visit tomorrow and its going to be 2C. Hmm..ok ive been through this so i should be used to it but no..ive not got used to the cold... OK, thats my ramblings for the day...

living alone eh uve got to channel ur ramblings to friends through your blog :)...ok now thats depressing...Alone MAN...haha..OKOK dun worry its not that bad...i am enjoying the kind of life im living now.

So weekend was filled with my usual saturday, break day (wash clothes, clean up house abit etc),watch footie and watch taiwanese series..not bad not bad..Romantic Princess recommend). Sunday church and shopping.

SHopping when Christmas is approaching is a treat. Go to each aisle and go wah.. :0 christmas pudding, wah..:0 2 for 1 pringles, wah cheap chocolates...wah :0 why all reduce, wah... so i though wah must buy must buy...so i bought a whole basketful of food. bread, apple pie, pringles, chocolates, biscuits... 20pounds of food for the week. :) im going to have an expected buldge soon.

Hehe..so what made my day was having my own fireplace..Wee!! was so excited when i got back, walking in the dark gloom of winter..eh why got light from my house... so i thought okok dun worry shouldbe alright. den when i entered the fireplace was lit..felt so happy.. thank GOd for such a lovely landlord and landlady.. to keep me warmer they lit the fireplace. woot! u both rock!

it looks brilliant in the dark but cant see la.. my christmas experience is almost becoming perfect...still banking on a white christmas which at this rate is highly likely. Yeah...its gonna be superb hehe..

God bless peeps.

ever so busy...

i say i love God,
yet at times reading the Bible seems like a chore,
5 minutes of prayer and sometimes it feels i would say,
ok..Lord right after i've done this this and that i'd pray to you again.

im busy Lord,
give me 5 minutes, erm 10 minutes and ill read ur word..
10 minutes came, an hr came..2hrs came..
i felt too tired..a verse was all i could muster.

Actions speak louder than words,
Im sorry Lord, please change me,
Teach me to love u more and more each day.

Having felt a trickle of what i've done,
When man say I'm busy,
Oh, not now..maybe later,
It hurt, it made me wonder,
It made me understand the verse John 3:16 a little more,

the NIGHT OUT....the "uninterestingness" of the day after

before arriving..imagining the scene:
meals first, a pint and loud music well through the nite..hrmm.lets see how things will turn out..

setting the real scene:
arrived at Colchester Playhouse at 6.30ish and half of those going were about to start their chirstmas dinner, most had down a pint...as time went on..the table was filled with empty glasses..and im only guilty of leaving one ;) and a small bottle..

so i had a tipsy night the night before...not an avid fan of beer, drinking in general, it seemed almost an adventure, an unlikely sigh holding a bottle of beer...wondering if i should get a glass, my mate, C said, "Drink from the bottle, thats the manly thing to do!"..aye and it was so..

here's the first drink for the day.

tick tock tick tock..the time ticked but it wasnt the easiest of drinks..frivolous as it may seem, its bitter after taste which lingered at the back of my tongue was evident on my face..lol...okok...maybe not to that extreme...it made me hungry, it made me order a chicken tikka masala.. hmm not bad...

second round of drinks for me was a pint of Magners Cider, courtesy of Mr. C...whose goal is to make me an alcoholic by the time i get to 3rd year Uni..
"Drink up Esmond, this will get you well through Uni without you realising it." Mr. C. with his evil grin...

haha..okok..wasnt like that at all..it was a cool nite hanging out with mates....in the end we were sitting down for the whole nite.. Magners was my choice of the two :) ..Next on the list of drinks to try would be Fosters.

Any obvious after effects..abit tired after but was able to last well into the night.. walked home without a hint of drunkenness..at least i thought so :D..

bedtime at XX.XXam

today was filled with simple yet essentials for living, washing of clothes, cooking, watching tv (Old Bond movie..so old i din even noe this movie existed)... 4.14pm..the gloom of the day sets in..owh well hoping SUmmer would come soon :P

anyways thats all for today..just a glimpse of my life in a little town, Witham
...loving life but missing friends.. ironic...lol..okie..

God bless peeps..
