Night out in London



Went to this fantastic Thai restaurant called PATARA @ Greek Street Soho, London last night. Really nice ambience, very welcoming staff (a requirement in restaurant business!), nice toilet facilities( really loved the dark wood finish and the wooden sink!) and very nice exotic food.

Ordered duck wrapped in leaves and assorted dumplings with a really nice tasty dipping sauce at the side for starters. Can't help myself taking this photo as you can see. The lady who was sitting beside our table laughed when i took this. F#*#*ng t**t should learn how to mind her own business! Nearly ruined my night...tried my best to ignore her.

Main course included fried sea bass with tamarind sauce and an 8 inch red chilli on the side PWOAARRR!!, chicken with pineapple and other garnishes ( i can't remember),Pak choi and shitake mushroom cooked with oyster sauce and a nice portion of egg fried rice (really healthy...NOT!!!). I nearly forgot my name as these food are really yummy! Didn't have enough room in my tummy for a dessert in the end!

Headed straight back to Waterloo to watch the Transformers movie in the IMAX cinema! I was gobsmacked! Really awesome! Feels like you're part of the film. The only drawback is we sat a bit close to the screen at aisle J..had to turn my head to see wots going on the right and left hand corner of the screen. We have to book a farther seat..maybe aisle P will do! Alright, Beowulf is next on the list.

Reached home before 12 midnight. Had a really fantastic time. Will definitely do that again.

I'm getting good at using superlatives!

Patara restaurant : 8/10

Expensive Day offs!

Been off work for almost a week now...just had to take some of my annual leaves before i lose them prior to the turn of the year.
Just find it more expensive when I'm not @ work.I always tend to go out more, buy stuff i really am not sure I need, £2 out from my Oyster card (£6.70 when i go to London), pay average of £10 for lunch (coffee not included).
Thinking about it, I do enjoy these things. It's a nice opportunity to get away from my hectic day job (sometimes night when I'm on-call). A few more days and I will be back to our cramped office which is presently shared with the CRS people!! Just heard that a major thing will happen on Monday when I come back!!! Not really happy :(

**CRS - Care Records Service...all documents in the NHS will be computerised...well, thats what they're planning to do!

First timer

Can't believe that I will be joining the bandwagon! A couple reasons why I am...
1. I've noticed that my memory is recently getting rusty... will be nice to look back and read my daily (hopefully!!!) entry to remind me of what i did that day. Sad, i know.
2. Love taking photographs of merely anything. Will be nice to share them to people round the globe..am I being too ambitious?? As if people will be interested :)
3. I have to think of more reasons.
