New Year upon us and the trouble with the Zebra Crossing

Indeed a weird way to start off writing for 2012, but I need this off my chest and has pissed me right off:-


Last night as I was getting home off the bus and needing to use the Zebra crossing to cross the road; 2 cars zoomed across without stopping until the third did stop! How rude! I bet they didn't get their licence in the UK. This has happened to me quite a few times now in London and has really ticked me off.

In Britain you're suppose to STOP and let pedestrians was across the Zebra Crossing, not just zoom without stopping!! :@ Even my driving instructor hammered it into my head when I was learning to drive that you must STOP at the Zebra Crossing, in the test if you don't you fail!


This is Britain people where's the courtesy?! The Crossing isn't place at a stupid place either!! But I suppose this is London, everyone's in a rush to get to some place, compared to Devon, the pace of life is indeed slower and people are a bit more courteous on the roads, unless they are boy racers racing around with the music turned up down the country lanes.


Sure when I was in China there are zebra crossings but the drivers don't care and won't stop, as they're a guideline spot for pedestrians to cross. Maybe they should just have traffic light crossings instead to make it easier.


There's my little bit of ranting for 2012, I'll move on. Unless next time I'll just cross the Zebra Crossing willy nilly if the driver hit's me, they're at fault & get their assed sued!! 

Keep Calm and Carry on

I am having trouble in knowing what to blog lately as I've been really busy, stressed and not sleeping well. 


As many have seen in the media or maybe around them, UK has been suffering riots and looters this past week that has gone so out of hand, it has actually been causing me to lose my concentration at work (-.-")

The riots and looters have really angered me having kids as young as 8 years old taking part damaging their community and stealing from it. It just gets out of hand, where innocent people got swept into this mass destruction and have been injured and killed because of it. 


UK I feel is becoming soft, evil thoughts have sprung to my mind such as bringing back the death penalty! Or even at least be like countries such as Germany or Korea where people age 18 have to take part in the army for 2 year, then they can have some form of direction to life and become well disciplined and learn respect


I am pretty pissed of how some people can act, especially in a country I was born and brought up in. 


I suppose as the saying goes, we need to try keeping calm and do our best to carry on and not dwindle 


I am so glad that people are getting involved with helping to clean up the mess, and an epetition has been made to revoke all benefits from any rioters involved, over 100,000 people have already signed it, more support is needed

Black January...

They say January's the most depressing month of the year, I think they're right. Back to work, holiday blues, sorting out all the crap we did before Christmas and catching up!

For me it's been a pretty black January; work-wise I've unfortunately screwed up a fair few styles for one of our largest customers from badly measuring them!! Causing delays of sealing garments, us trying to amend the problems *sigh* I'm now kind of on probation and not allowed to touch any of the things related to the customer so I get the smaller clients- is it karma biting me in the ass?

Next factories in China were pushing for approvals on styles so they can ship, would be to plan if the factories didn't mess things up! Now they're off for 2-4weeks for Chinese New Year as they don't celebrate Christmas.

Away from world of work, got a bit stressed in doing last minute organising for Cny weekend... One of my list of things to do! For over a week now my e-mails don't work on my phone!Just inconveient as I'm paying for a phone to do such things, it's handy to access mail on the go I have to admit! Stupid Orange people not being the most helpful, but was kind of my bad in accidentally ending the call... I was on handsfree & he wanted me to compose an e-mail... My pissy question to him was "HOW CAN I DO AN E.MAIL AS I'M ON THE PHONE TO YOU AND MENTIONED I CAN'T ACCESS MY E-MAILS?!" GRR...

 Another thing on my list todo finish sorting that out. But to top it all off on this "wonderful black January" I managed to leave my keys in the house!! Matters worse Bro & Sister in law were away till Monday... Fml...

So Lucky me, has to take a trip to Southampton Airport Parkway train station as it's the half way point to meet them to fetch their set of keys the next day, in the mean time, luckily I was able to crash round my Cousin's place

Right, I have one more New Year to celebrate so hopefully February onwards gets better!

Interesting things happening this morning...

Ok I was going to Blog reating to Pure the Tradeshow, but I'm gonna leave that for this evening; and this one slips up higher. Something to get off my chest...

As one is living and working in London, people tend to rush around, I for example left the house a bit late today as I wanted to throw some bits into my lunch box for work before leaving, and needed to grab my travel vouchers.

Just my luck, there's a bus just arrived so I hopped on for the Underground station. As I popped off the bus, the old lady next to me said "lazy Bitch". I ignored her at first thinking, I must have misheard, then walking towards the station she said aloud, "what a lazy bitch"

OK I was gonna bother backing myself up and talk back at her, but as I was in a hurry for the tube, I decided to let it go. Who wouldn't hop on the bus even though it's 1 stop to the station??
My Thoughts - Monthly travel card £116 Pm, use it to my advantage. 30sec-1min bus ride vs 7min walk as you guys could see which option I opted for

My opinion, it's the sake of convenience!

Under bares

OK This post is more for the ladies but guys can just get enlightened about this side of things

It comes to one of those times for women who need to do the love it or hate it shop I personally can find it a pain in the arse sometimes but it’s a necessity to buy, underwear.

Fact - 80% of women w

ear the wrong size Bra and should go for a bra fitting once every 6months to a year. A friend of mine who specialises in Lingerie and corsetry, told my that women should a few sizes in their draw for those normal days and the “fat days”

When it comes to underwear I can sometime have a shop like a guy attitude towards it, know what I need no fuss no muss, get and go. I’ll admit I’m an anti frills person and not a fan of excessive detailing, simplicity is always good!

Like most shops clothing and sizing seems to range, from something in M&S your one size then down in H&M your something else. I’ve found that the band size that I am now is quite a difficult size to find! Grrr!! Another reason I’m not a fan of shopping for underwear!

I decided to try out a different underwear shop for a change so popped into Tezenis, an Italian underwear brand in Ox Street, they had a sale I thought why not. But MY GOD! I got so confused with the sizing!!!

As I was in a bit of a hurry I just grabbed something that I liked comparing the sizing from the chart and brought, they’re always the exchange policy as long as it’s still with tags etc. as I got home tried it on, so too big and realised it’s a plunge bra! I’ll admit, I don’t posses the assets for that! Haha!

Tezenis seems like a not bad shop for underwear but you need the patience to find and try, quite nice designs too, but personally I’ll stick to good old H&M!
