Just had a cool dinner with a mate from a company I used to work for about a year and half ago. It is so good to catch up and see how things have progressed and even better was just enjoying and sharing a good conversation about stuff.

What was particularly interesting was explaining what's new and what's happening and what's happened between the time we worked together and the present. Also, what was kinda cool was actually slightly missing the social interaction, work ethic and general atmosphere that we worked out for ourself, based on out characters and obviously that sensation was temporarily revived and it was great deja vu.

Chatted about where we are in life, what we've learnt since moving on and how much still we enjoy laughing about junk together!

I also told my story about my massage mishap the 2nd today and both times people appreciated my predicament and found it pretty funny so I'm kinda working off the denial slowly but surely and it's been a real good exercise. I'm slowly regaining my confidence with each laugh I give to someone.

Had a bit if difficulty figuring out exactly which pub was a perfect combination of can-sit and eat and noisy and over populated. Finally we chose a outdoor restaurant as the location to dive right into the past years happenings. I grabbed a pretty standard burger and a smoothie that went down real well.

Also, I shunned off my 2nd alcoholic beverage in favour of a non-alcoholic alternative with great success - it also help if no one else it drinking alcohol. We chatted for almost 3 hours which was did justice to the meet-up.

it was actually quite liberating to be able to just chill out in the middle of the city, after work and just not stress about getting home at a certain time etc.. and I kinda enjoyed the night-life and atmosphere of having people around yet, apart from them.

Its now almost midnight, 11pm, and I'm still on the train, which is a bit weird because I'm normally at home already but its just so cool to just hang out, with no string attached.

Need to do that again, so good for my psyche.

I Still in Denial, humorously though, about yesterday. I don't know whether to laugh or cry but i think U might've laughing in my sleep also! I'll wallow in self pity and denial for a while, interrupted probably with fits of laughter sbd then get over it. But I won't forget, not any time soon...

Today, I organised to meet up with a few guys from my previous job so it'll be interesting to see how much has changed. I suppose you always like to project yourself back to those days and compare it to where you are now to see if you'd want to go back.

I think that it'd healthy to not get stuck at a place too long, as you don't expose yourself to change, difference and challenge. Obviously, this is demanding on you mentally but if you can prise the advantages from the disadvantages - you win. My all time favourite quote, "Fortune favours the Brave" springs to mind.

Looking forward to getting some of my project shown and displayed to other members of the team which should allow for collaboration and a more robust solution to unfold. The stuff I'm working with now is heavily database driven which is great as Ive wanted to work in this area for a bit now. So that's coming right.

Still haven't managed to get up early in the mornings - I just so love my morning time in bed maybe because I know that time is limited which makes what time I have that much more special. it doesn't help that I'm a night owl though does it?

Was pretty surprised to find out that Milla Jovovich, who plays in the Fifth Element and Resident Evil has actually made her own music. I listened to it the other night on Spotify. Sounded ok I guess. Probably worth mentioning that I fell asleep to it, which is more than can be said to other artists - real soothing - nothing like you'd expect, which I like.

Got a google+ invite recently and that's not a huge thing but like new things google offers(eg. gmail) they make new things seem very special so you need a invite. The new service offering is Facebook/Twitter which because it has Facebook stuff in it, worries me slightly. Then again, google are real good with security but social networks now are expanding too much. We'll have an account for Twitter, Facebook and google+ is basically the first two combined so you'll be doing three things in three diffident places. let's see I guess

The tube is smelly - smells like human :-)
