hmmm...

today was a bit of a strange day...


yeah i will type this up later again :-p

kendo christmas party...

after the sign and sketch with david lloyd, i made my way to 'canary wharf' to begin early christmas celebrations with my kendo club...
it was not a straighforward journey as i anticipated!!!

i thought, all i had to do was, take the northern line down to waterloo and then from waterloo change onto the jubilee line...
but no...
upon reaching 'the embankment', an announcement was made saying 'this train will not be stopping at waterloo, please change here for the bakerloo line'...
we were just one stop away as well!!!

so i along with half of london christmas shoppers get off the carriage and snail walk our way towards the bakerloo line...

as i was rushing down the escalator, i noticed a sign saying 'the bakerloo line will not be stopping at waterloo, please take the northern line'??? to which my brain was not able to process that information due to the fact that i was told just now to switch to the bakerloo line, and also because i was running late (it was 5:25pm and i needed to be at canary wharf at 5:30pm...) ... so with those factors combined i just hoped if i ignored it, it wouldn't be true...???

but of course it was true...

the bakerloo train did not stop at waterloo!!!
and the reason why it did not stop was because it was closed due to engineering works...
(why the fook didn't they just say the station was closed in the first place instead of making all the passengers switch around for a stop that was not even open!!! someone has a sadistic sense of humour!!!)

so to rectify the situation, i had to ride the train all the way to elephant and castle, and then change again for the northern line (this time going in the opposite direction) to london bridge, and then from london bridge i changed to the jubilee!!!

the time now was 5:35pm...
i was going to be late...
being late was not the problem...
the problem was, i didn't know where the restaurant was, so was worried about getting lost...
i was seriously thinking about just going home, but because it was such a task just to get to the jubilee line i decided 'no, i am going to go there'!!!

i got to canary wharf at around quarter to six and walked up the escalator thinking where the hell am i supposed to be going...

then...
from within the station somewhere i hear ppl shouting 'TIMMY!!!'...
its ppl from my dojo!!!
(thank god!!! now we can all get lost together!!!)
i was so relieved in seing them...
and glad that i did decide to go in the end because it was a great evening...
and a great memory...

here are some of our festive fun and frolics below...
