Enrollment day

It was a warm day today and what a great way to take off to do three train changes and a long walk to my second home ie; university...

It was enrollment day, and i expected it to be longer then it actually was ... it was quite quick, an hour maximum,i got to know a little about a cypriot girl which will be in my course and cruised a little around the campus.
I'm still not excited to start this new chapter in life,but i will take it as it comes.

I didn't take photos of the university because today it wasn't really about it,it was more about enjoying the day and get things done...so along my way there and back i took a couple of flicks, enjoy and soon soon i will have some on the university maybe.

I have to say Kent is a beautiful place...fresh air,big houses and peaceful... but it is  abit dead and the nearest supermarket from the uni is said to be 20 minutes away! so,that's a bit of a shame ,but overall i guess it's not so bad considering it's only about 30 minutes away from central London,and since i'm thinking of moving house again i am considering every little thing there is on the table.





It's a long walk to university from the over-ground train station, but today i really didn't mind... the sun was shining ,the air was positive and everything else was flowing... i have to say while i was walking i was thinking to myself that maybe after-all Kent is not thatttt bad,even though it's nothing like London.













This bridge reminded me of an old school / little modern western film ... actually the whole station is a bit that way,at least for me anyway ! But, i like it ...YES ,i admit i didn't even have the intention of moving down to Kent ,but after today i am thinking twice and reconsidering my options, because it's much cheaper and more relaxed... but of course it still has its disadvantages.







To finish off, i couldn't not capture this image... it probably even made my day !
I wonder if they have opposite personalities ? or if they clash a lot ? or how long they been together ? ... but at the end of the day ,i couldn't help but notice that they had the same looks in their eyes and the same outfit.
i love it.

Future Holds...

I got on my knees and took the role of the cleaning lady today, my room was a mess and as i was going through boxes,files and papers i found this little sketch i did when i was staying at a friends house just before i moved in here this past summer...It kind of reminded me that in life there's fresh starts whenever we want to have one ! 



So tomorrow, as i will go to enroll into my degree course i want to go in there heads high and a bag full of willingness ...

Morning Visitors never miss

Yes sir,
They're not your usual 7:00 a.m. tea visitors, but they surely never miss to come and make noise which usually works better then my alarm. Same time /Same place... especially after a rainy day.

These are my friends Pee and Poo.

SEFscoop

It's interesting how, you can know some people for what they do in life , but they don't let you know what they really enjoy doing!

So,this morning i was speaking to my friend and we got into a conversation about another friends name and why they call him that way... and he was narrating me through this story,that i never knew ... My friend "Eze Izundu" was telling me that ones he was the European champion of the game that we all know and love "Tekken 4"... even though the last tekken game i remember was tekken 2/3, he got me into knowing more about it... 

He won many tournaments around in Europe and was featured in various magazines ,however the biggest acchievemnt through it all was the one held in Holland "The european championship" after that him and past champions were approached to write a book about tricks and other bits and bobs ,so when tekken 5 came out ,the book was going to be published aswell. Lately he won another tournament in Italy for Tekken 5,so the saga continues...i wonder were he'll be going next !

This is all so intriguing to me because i was and still am a fan and i never knew that i knew a champion all this time.

The book "Official Tekken 5 strategy guide" was published around two years ago by "future press" , my friend Eze Izundu known as Star Scream was one of the featured champion writers in it.

 

Enjoy the good memories...

Been around...

Sometimes,i start my day with a lemon...
no i just wanted to show you this nice tone of yellow.



I haven't updated SEFblog in a bit, because my mum and aunt were visiting in London,and they definitely kept me busy and around the country,from early morning till not so late because they liked to sleep early!
It was good to have them around,i believe that a taste of what we all call "home" brings us back to reality most of the times anyway...They stayed with me this time,and it wouldn't have been their preference ,because if it was for them they would have changed and cleaned every angle of this house...but, we still had a good time.I mean they literally changed the whole setting of the room im in and it's much better now...to prove my point ,my mum washed the floor of my room 15 minutes before they took off on the train to go to the airport ...call them crazy .... and i will fully agree with you.

Well i been around in Finsbury park ,Watford ,Aldgate east ,Whitechapel ,Mile end , Russell square and even went up to Leicester...
So, from cafe place to another we went around the UK in 3 days... 



The first day we went to finsbury park and then we went all the way up to Watford or even further i think...We went to a very big factory ... 
The area was much cleaner then then the other areas in London and the houses much bigger... but nothing much going on of course.. I always thought London would have been sleepless everywhere ,everyday ,but let me tell you ... it not like that !











The next day we made our way to King Cross station to catch our train to Leicester... If you've been in London more then a couple of years ago,then you won't remember King's Cross St.Pancras station to be this way, they re-done it and now it looks more like a shopping centre/station ... looks great.










We got on the train and started our journey to Leicester which i never been... so i didn't know what to expect...









...and yes i am still wearing flip flops,because the back of my feet is still hurting and even though flip flops are so tiring i couldn't do any other way...couldn't wear anything that covers my the back of my feet !



As we got to Leicester...again i thought it's a very clean place...and we met a few people that suggested that we go and visit the new shopping centre in the centre of Leicester.. which is called "Highcross".
It's huge and you'll find everything that you usually find in malls or shopping arcades...Apparently it got refurbished and extended.















That was Leicester for us today...and then we headed back to the train station to go back to London! It was a long day,woke up very early  and walked alot as well ... but i don't regret going.







The journey takes about one hour and fifteen minutes; it was a bit annoying that there was no Internet on the train, so of course I was simply enjoying the furry green scenery all the way to today’s destination “Leicester” and then back to London.

Leicester is a bit too empty for my likes, but very very clean and has nice houses… the majority of the people there are Indian, so it’s more like an Indian community…





Got back to London...





We decided we wanted some good cooking,so they took me to this Italian restaurant in Russell's square that we always go to when they're in town.



They have walls covered of postcards and photos from all over the world, but it's a shame that i didn't see one of Malta...well,maybe it was on a different wall !



The next day we went to the east sides of London...i used to live in Aldgate east/whitechapel areas for a year.We had lunch at a Marrakech cafe place and then went around for a bit...





Today it brought back so many memories... and the only thing i was thinking was that time sure flies so quickly ,that sometimes i don't even have a minute to stop and think how far i've came in life and how far i want to go.
