After many months of not posting, I have decided to restart. Not just posting but also updating the format of the site to something a little fresher, with more reviews and opinions, not just sighing. Also the previous post about the movie was written back in Feb, but had been sitting in draft and unpublished until now.
Pictures from Samoa to come as well.
Ok, as you can see there are some graphics changes to the site, now each menu item has its own picture. But as I was going through the China pages, I realised how little I have written about my travels in China. This scarcity of writing is in contrast to how much fun I had, the amount of traveling I did and the number of friends I made while there.
Well, I would like to post some pictures but sadly, I don’t have those pictures with me right now. There are too many to sort through anyway. All this recalling of China has been triggered by watching ????????????, a Taiwanese coming of age movie filled with bittersweet memories of youth. It really takes you back to those times when you had your life ahead of you, the potential to do whatever you wanted, and when the smallest things were so important. It gives a sense of what if…no matter how happy we are now, there is always a sense of nostalgic longing about the road not taken. Definitely worth watching.
here it is.
My time in Samoa is on the homeward stretch. It has been quite good overall. The reason I haven’t posted much is because on the balance of things, I have been just cruising with just small incidental sighs. Therefore not worth the effort of posting.
I have settled into a pattern of working a little during the day, some form of sports or drinking at night, and beach on the weekend. It’s a pretty sweet deal mostly. Definitely have made quite a few new friends from different backgrounds to the norm. Here’s a couple of pics of us walking along some cliffs on the south coast.
So you could say that it has been a good experience. The main sigh that exists now is having to find a job when I return. That is expected to be not fun. I need something that will pay as much as I was earning before leaving for Samoa. At the same time, I feel that I need to work quite hard to get my interview skills back up. With some luck, someone I know will just recommend me for a job, or offer me one. So if anyone has anything, let me know. Then we can play games after work without any cares in the world.
IJK is a computer service shop in Enfield. They have very competitive prices, good return policy and of course easy ordering system. Try them out next time.
Test test: Sally is my bwubble. Man this takes me back to the days of wanting a super cooled case so I can crank the last amount of clockspeed from the PC in order to run games.
Overall: 9/10
