This post is sort of an update as to why I haven’t posted on this blog in quite a while. I haven’t exactly had anything entertaining going on in my life and in-fact my health has been the concerns that I’ve been having. I contracted a virus and I’m waiting for the effects of the virus to go away, however for now I’ll have to live with fatigue and boredom. I guess after coming back from Korea, I haven’t really recovered as it has made me more depressed about life, as I experienced something amazing and coming back to Taiwan, well, I just feel as bored as ever.

To pass the time I’ve been playing games such as PS2 (Planet Side 2) and that game has kept me pretty happy for a while, however PS2 has quickly become boring for me. While I should be studying, to which I haven’t, my Chinese has actually improved a little, even with minimal studying.

I guess I posted this as there are people going around saying that today is the end of the world. NASA has a quality article about this, and here is a small excerpt: (Link to the full article)

The story started with claims that Nibiru, a supposed planet discovered by the Sumerians, is headed toward Earth. This catastrophe was initially predicted for May 2003, but when nothing happened the doomsday date was moved forward to December 2012 and linked to the end of one of the cycles in the ancient Mayan calendar at the winter solstice in 2012 — hence the predicted doomsday date of December 21, 2012.

Quite ludicrous, but there are nut jobs out there that firmly believe this, I don’t understand how they can continue spouting out crap when they are proven wrong, time and time again.

Anyways, whatever the case, the world is not ending.

Going back to my life, I have thought about my future and have decided that I’ll be going back to the UK to study. I’ve had enough of my life in Taiwan, especially so with my family here. They are a complete nightmare, and I just need some time where I can get away; so to speak.

That’s it for now, I guess.

Tough Mudder 2014

Tough Mudder 2014

Tough Mudder: a 12 mile obstacle/assault course that I had just completed yesterday with a bunch of other people I went with. It was utterly brutal with obstacle after obstacle putting your mental thought to work as to whether you can continue or not. Or in...

Never live with a live in Landlord

Never live with a live in Landlord

I'm actually fuming at the moment. I love when I can write a post on here that comes from the heart and soul. So I live with a live in landlord or a resident landlord and it has been an utter nightmare to live in this place. I mean the house is nice, my room is nice...

Wandering Around London

Wandering Around London

Living in London can be amazing at times - especially if you live in Zone 1, where you can conveniently walk to locations that are full of joy and happiness. Today I went on a little wander around the city after having gone to the gym for around an hour and a half....

Submitted my application for a student loan

Submitted my application for a student loan

That's right! I've just submitted application for a student loan request to the Student Finance England website. Hopefully, it goes through and I receive it back as early as possible. Thinking about it now I probably should have applied for this a lot earlier in the...

Back to Studying Web Development?

Back to Studying Web Development?

In August, last year, I briefly touched upon the idea of wanting to go to university to study 'Web Technologies' at Birkbeck University of London. I've since not followed through on this and that is due to the fact that I've been busy at work and generally a little...

1st day in the new house

1st day in the new house

I have to say that I'm delighted at the fact that I've moved to Farringdon. I walked around the area for 3 hours yesterday, which in total led to around 8 miles of walking. Luckily my new running shoes are really, really comfortable. I'm even wearing them to work now...

Moving to Farringdon – Room Found

Moving to Farringdon – Room Found

Let's just say that I have been extremely stressed this month because I've been frantically looking for a place that is close enough to where I work. Now, I work on Tottenham Court Road and it's really expensive if you want to be within walking distance (up to an hour...

New Smart Shoes for work

New Smart Shoes for work

I don't seem to be a very good picker of decent shoes. Any of the shoes that I do buy break or start wearing down considerably within a month. And it's not that I'm buying them cheap either. The last pair of shoes that I bought was on ASOS for £60. £60 for a pair of...

When’s the right time to find another job

How do you know when the time’s right to move on and find something that you really find challenging? A colleague of mine very recently was accepted for a job at Twitter. It kind of opens your eyes as to what is available out there when someone doing the same job as...
