Upon pondering

Am I happy with what I have?

That depends on how you view the situation. I have a flat, I have a car that is paid off, I have a job that pays fairly, I quite enjoy my job except for the hours, I have an awesome girlfriend, I have a few flatmates and I live in the city!

The flat is a humble 3 bedroom flat located in the suburbs of Edinburgh. It isn't the most flashiest of homes, I've been getting tradesmen to do work on it for me...windows...new storage space...gas cooker...door adjustments...painting of new door frame...new front door...a drive way and generally tidying up after myself. Being in the flat for 2 months with most of the necessary work almost complete...I can say it is becoming a place I enjoy coming back to after a day at work or somewhere to zone out and chill!

Car...I love my SEAT Ibiza FR Black Edition. Sadly I am having trouble with everyone else, I live on a street where parking can be an issue and cars passing by can be very close...back in September some Jackass bandit hit my car's wing mirror cover off...no damage to the car but the cover needed a polish for the scratches and super glue to keep it on. A few days ago, I found a small chip in the drivers side...it looks like a small stone bounced off the door...very unhappy about that!

I am a waiter. I serve and talk to many different types of people. The work isn't tasking but the hours are not ideal but it does settle the bills!

Girlfriend! (Dear intergalactic lord of the Universe...I love her to bits!) I honestly can't ask for more from this amazing woman...but she holds a darker side...what she would love to do is to move in with me and find a job and start a career in Edinburgh. The problem is...she's duty bound to her parent's business...she is trying to make everyone happy but herself.

Flat mates, I've known these guys since I was in my mid teens and a fantastic bunch they are! They help out...pull their weight and ease me of some financial stress!

The city, Edinburgh, honestly...since moving here to work and live...I've seen relatively little of Edinburgh...some day I work too much and should enjoy what the city offers. They do not know of my frugal ways as I plan to initiate a "get retirement early as an option" plan. Then again...am I working too hard for something too far away?

Of all things you see and hear...do you ever think about the possible problems that the person maybe facing? Small to medium sized problems isn't going to kill you but it will sap away your energy bit by bit without you knowing.

Take home message...do things that you like and makes you happy. It need not be successful but enjoy the journey and what it is that was being done. Life doesn't stop and wait for you...it will pitch you chances...chances i  different forms and ways...it is up to you to choose how happy or sad you want to be!

Which day...????

I am sounding more like a "quiter" with each passing hour! My current employer needed to take his "lil princesses" back to China for "Ching Ming" and basically left me working for 2 weeks straight WITHOUT informing me of the following: - Time off during his absence? - Time off at all when he comes back? - Extra pay? Here I am after two days of him buggering off learning this, I WILL be working 2 weeks straight without a day off...there has been no discussion of reimbursing my days off that I should of had...and worse of all, DEFINITELY no mention of paying me extra for the EXTRA days off! I have been working my hands raw and body aches yet things seems to never end! 2nd day, 12 more to go......no, that is INCORRECT!!! My last day of was 26th March...its now the 9th...its my 14th consecutive day of working and I am starting to lose my mind! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HURRAY BACK YOU BUM HOLE!!!!! 7 more days till my "theo...

Just ranting!

WHO THE HELL GAVE THAT WOMAN THE "BIRTH RIGHT" TO HAVE ME TAXI HER AROUND AND EXPECT ME TO JUST AGREE?!?!?! SCREW YOU TO HELL AND TO THE NEW AREA WHERE THEY ARE MAKING IT ESPECIALLY FOR YOU YOU STUPID VA***A COW!!!! OK that had to come out, here's the story, throughout this week so far, my employer's wife who is looking after the work place in his absence has used a Chinese curse word on me several times. This curse word itself curses you to basically trip over and bust your face. It sounds lame translated into English but if you are Chinese and know which word I am referring to, then you know my anger, I can take it as a joke every once in a while but when you use that consistently,  you are testing my patients on how long I can withhold from punching that face of yours! So, its 12:46am now in UK, just over 2 hours ago, I was finishing up at work, Lisa (Boss' wife) comes strolling along and says "Hakuren, you busy tomorrow morning? I need a life up t...

Unusual dream...Gummy Bear Girl...

Fri 28th December 2012 Last night I had a very odd but pleasant dream. In the dream, my family (consisting of my parents, my 3 brothers and myself) was taking a friend family (parents and two boys) to the airport to send them off home. The airport was "Edinburgh Airport" but the outside surrounding and the entrance was exactly the same as Southampton Airport, England!!! Continuing on...as I entered the check-in area to look for the check-in counters for our "friend family" I became VERY confused, the inside of the airport was divided into two huge areas. The area that I entered was a lounge area with a live band doing covers of the latest chart music...they had a brass and other wind instrument band, one drummer and his drums, 2 acoustic guitar players, one cello player and one lead singer who had a very firm but gentle voice...I had a quick walk round this area to find out...ok maybe we don't check in here, so I met up with my youngest brother, Bruno at the...
