Happy New Year #2020 from London

by | Jan 1, 2020 | Opinion, Travel, Updates, Videos

It’s now officially 13 minutes past, and we’re well into 2020.

For the past 3 years, I’ve been going to Hampstead Heath Park with Victoria Levine, to celebrate with the many hundreds that turn up to watch the London firework celebrations from afar:

Here you can see a video I’ve posted up on Twitter:

New Years Resolutions

  • Be successful in my new role at Forbes.com and achieve some great results for that business
  • Sign up, be fit enough, and complete the triathlon in Norway in June
    • Working on my fitness is definitely something I struggled within 2019, but I am keen to get back on track (and yes, I know I did Tough Mudder and a Half Marathon, but I just about did those)
  • Setup new websites to make more passive income, with websites I am passionate about
  • Have enough to put down a deposit on a house in Q4 2020
  • Read more books (I’ve already ordered Zero to One: Notes on Start Ups, or How to Build the Future)

I’ll hopefully hit some of these goals for 2020. 🙂 But for now, let’s not worry about this and see what happens.

Never live with a live in Landlord

Never live with a live in Landlord

by | Sep 17, 2014 | ,

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....

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?

by | Jul 26, 2014 |

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

by | Jun 22, 2014 |

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

by | Jun 17, 2014 |

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...

March 5th, 2012 - I went to a place in Taiwan called SanYi in Miaoli County. According to Wikipedia it's a rural township located close to mountains. I went to SanYi to climb a beautiful mountain and destination. Along the way there were paddy fields and greenery...

New Smart Shoes for work

New Smart Shoes for work

by | Apr 27, 2014 |

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...

I recall seeing the Olympic stadium being built during early construction stages before leaving this country and I wanted to the see the games in person, but jetted off to the island of Taiwan where I then spent the next two years of my life studying and working....
