Stand-Up show

I went to a comedy stand-up show last night, and was hosted by * (cannot remember his name…) with other 3 guests, one of them was Tom Wrigglesworth (He won't be in a coma this time...) in the Yorkshire Playhouse.

It was the first time I visited the Yorkshire Playhouse and inside the theatre, there were plenty of rooms for my legs and has a good view when seated in the back row but, one thing annoyed me was… the drinks. There were too dear to buy drinks in the venue, just like anywhere else. I used to travel to London to see such live show which was in one of many bars, apart from paying gig ticket on the door, and also pay for the drink on the top of that (tuting...).

Talk about this comedian, I don’t know him well and in fact, I’ve not heard of him but he is funny and has a good structure when he gave his talk. One of the funniest stories was when he mentioned the announcement in the supermarket. It has a very unusual tone when an announcement is made in store, such as:


“Store manager code * 113, store manager code * 113”

“Store cleaner aisle * 6, store cleaner aisle * 6”


Mind you, there are always pronunciations going on especially within the announcements where * sign are, and imagine if we all talk like that in a daily life conversations…


“What do you want for tea *, what do you want for tea * ”

“I am having a wee * , I am having a wee * ”

How funny is that! It makes your life full of fun and comprehensives, and due to that point, I just couldn't stop to laugh at it.

Think Before You Act

News is shocking me recently which is about the web murder is given a life sentence.

Consequently when we communicate with people on the other ends on these so-called social networks, I wonder are people real behind the scenes. I am aware that the more “personal” information you’ve given away, the more dangerous you’ve put yourself into, and I think we’ve all learned from others’ experiences and keep the distances and be safe.

What do you prefer?

A friend is leaving for further career by end of this month. A few friends we both know are having a farewell do for her which we want to make the most of it in these last few weeks/weekends before she takes off. I was advised to contribute ideas and I am brainstorming as I am running out the time.

I take part for a few dos in the past months, and notice I should watch what I eat in order not to put weight on easily, I disregard having a full meal and suggesting to have afternoon tea instead, friends aren’t disagreed. I am also thinking of what are we having for this so-called afternoon tea, in fact I am not a creamy tea person, I am a black coffee person. I also have another idea of having cheese/chocolate fondue, despite fruit and bread, what else can go with these two, it seems lots of works behind the scenes and I am calling for helps now.

60 seconds...........

I’ve been really busy recently, as you can see I’ve left here completely. What a big deal for me getting back here and sharing my thought again - a conflict. The row didn’t happen very often but once it started, I tried to minimize it as much as possible but it doesn’t mean I am petrified.

I share foods or fruits at work, just like the fest, and my colleagues take part from time to time. One of my colleagues gave comments after his shared and said “this is odd and is tasteless”, with this in mind, everything is volunteers and no pressures; how on earth was happened and especially was the second time he said (good job there was no one slap him).

I’ve done something I should. I politely sent him en email and told him off. Imagining I was calm and didn’t let my steams out in those 60 seconds……….I was counting and be self-control while I was shouting inside my head. I thought GOSH, in how many years goes on and I’ve learned, and to listen first action is the after and is the last.

However, you can choose your work but your work colleagues and get on with it.

Packing Anyone ...

Packing is a lesson, most people love travel but hate packing and I am one of them.


“You only have 18 kg this time…”

… ahhhh….

“We are only away for a few days…”

I know.

“Surely you are not taking travel kettle with you, are you?”

Yes, I will but not this time…


I was packing while I was making a conversation with my husband, but what worse thing would happen if you pack something that you shouldn’t, well just end up to buy more in the other end.


“….you are getting better now, and not buying lots of crap...”

Aye… I thought I am obviously getting better as you still travel with me.


Indeed, travel is fun and packing is a pain. Packing anyone ...

That Is True!!

I was silly sometime ago, added wrong petrol into my bike, apart from that there were more to come, which I sent a letter without a stamp, signed a cheque and forgot to mark my signature. What more I can say (silly me)??

It is not easy to feel better when you literally feel down. I was unwell since last week and I am still not fully recovered yet. I am trying to think of the bright side however is taking sometime to achieve.

Seeing Better

"First we will give your eye drops with a typical anesthetise..."

Ok!

"Then we will administer a mild sedation..."

Fine!

"....after we insert the eyelid guard to secure your eyelid from blinks..."

What else?

"You may experience some mild discomfort," the surgeon continued. "The procedure shouldn't take more than 15 to 20 minutes till it is all been done. But don't worry; you will be awake through the entire time."

Mild Discomfort? Awake the entire time, would you mind just put me to sleep please?

“We cannot knock you off, we need you to be with us all the time,” the surgeon was smiling while he was talking.

"Have you had any question before we go further?"

I wiggled my head to say no, but in the back of my mind there a voice said please make it quick, as quick as you can…

*************************************************
It’s been two months since I underwent for laser eye treatment, everything went well and the healing time only took me two days. My appointment was on Friday and I backed to work on the followed Monday, apart from the first four hours after the surgery, I’d say it was brilliant. As of within those four hours, I was advice to go to sleep after arrived home as it was the best solution to be pain-free.

I was getting frustrated with my contact lenses drying up whilst using my computer in the office; also it was inconvenience when I rode my motorbike on a daily basis. In the end, I decided to go for FREE consultations to see whether or not I am suitable for the treatment. After I knew and qualified for laser eye treatment as well as I had done price comparisons and day searched, I finally put my foot down to agree in going ahead.

“I can see things again clearly that I never thought I would”

After 22 years of wearing spectacles it is a fantastic feeling to be without them. I was nervous before surgery, I should not have worried, the staffs were fantastic, very professional and everything went so smoothly. I can now see things I couldn’t see with my spectacles and I have been told I look younger!

A week before British Summer Time

I have been laid back for a while since last posted, although I did not keep up any activities over the Internet but I’ve surely done lots of garden work for the coming summer.

When British summer begins, everyone would be busy and starts re-build their gardens, as I am one of them (note to self – always take a spare pair of boots, some clean shoes and for mud-free travel into house!) and I sometimes could spend hours and hours to grow my own choice of plants, restructuring/releasing the soil and trim the lawn, as well as to repaint garden furniture.

So far, daylight gets longer and the clock is turning forward, which means more time to spend on outdoor activities. For me, one of my outdoor activities is sitting in the garden, having a nice pot of tea or coffee with some biscuits, and slices of cake would be ideal to enjoy the peace of quiet with soft wind, sunshine and of course read some of my favorites books.
