Starbucks rehab needed

Seriously I have no idea how I came bout to this Starbucks addiction. Not towards da drinks as other ppl do but da food, especially their panini. It all started with mini toasted sandwiches with ham and cheese. It sounds...or perhaps it's totally easy to be prepared by oneself. But I'm not too sure what's happening here...I just feel like having something from Starbucks every morning when I go to work coz it's located at the bus station. Or maybe this is one of da diseases I've got from working?

From mini toasted sandwiches upgraded to bacon and egg panini the other day. I just couldnt resist it! I was trying to find excuses to buy da panini. I'm going for training day soon so the dinner and breakfast included and paid by company so it's not too bad if I spend some money in starbucks rite? Believe me, the bacon and egg panini was the best panini ever! Well, I'll try to make it myself instead of sending money to Starbucks I guess.....if i'm not lazy. Today was my day off and still the first thought that came to my mind was Starbucks again when I felt hungry!

It's expensive I know to spend everyday at Starbucks so I really wondering when will the addiction end? Pls send me to Starbucks rehab.

By da way, uk weather skipped autumn and now go straight to winter so all my mind is bout food. Ya, I live to eat.

Alive

Yeah...it's been more than one month that I got totally disconnected from the world out there. Want to know how's the life like without internet? It was suffering at first....and surprisingly we sort of like get used to the condition when we didnt have internet. So what did i do for the past more than 1 month then? Work, of course, which is endless.

Well, after work, the thing we could do without internet other than studying would be chatting. Yes, me and my housemates started to chat once we stepped into the house. Chatted when we cooked till we finished the dinner and continued chatting till the time we felt it was time to sleep only we went for shower and slept. So why it took so long for the internet to settle then? First we wanted virgin broadband but we havent got fibre optic and then one of my housemates who's an irish...I mean an irish GUY (that's what he always corrected us that it never ends with irish, the correct phrase should be irish lad/lass)...he suggested to get sky tv package which includes broadband. Well not really into the programmes here but not a bad idea to get one though. And then we checked with our agent to confirm we can install sky tv. We phoned sky as soon as we got the good news from agent. Appointment was made 1 week later. They didnt turn up. The reason was that they couldnt find our house, how stupid they are that couldnt they just ask anybody on the street? It's Bigg Market, there's always someone on the street! Right, another appointment made 1 week later. I was really looking forward to the installation that day as I was on my day off. The sky man came and told me there was no signal detected and we couldnt get sky. Brilliant!!! We then discussed and suggested to get O2 braodband which is quite cheap and with the fastest speed. Then our friend told us we actually had sky broadband that we didnt activate it. How smart right? We tried and that's why I can write a blog right now! Anyway, the sky man gonna come and check thoroughly again and if we really cant get sky tv then we need to cancel the broadband and get another broadband. So I'm enjoying much while I can b4 another long wait!!!

Moving to Newcastle is totally a different life I would say. Sunderland, indeed, is very peaceful. I like Newcastle though espcecially in the morning when you can see everybody is rushing to work and they're just like me who need to wake up so early to go work. So I'm not lonely! Didnt have this feeling when I was living in Sunderland. So first week our dinner was all about KFC as we didnt settle down yet in which we still have a huge addiction to KFC.

To update some bits bout me : My face has bloated, which is very annoying me at the moment, anyone can help? any remedies? any therapy?

No photos of my new room currently so maybe next post! BE PATIENT!
By da way, that's what I like to tell the Patients to be PATIENT !
