Badminton, Ramani's birthday, Sal's birthday, good times

So the last week has been pretty eventful. Thursday was as usual for the last few weeks. 'Working it out' course in the morning. Then badminton with the lads (Tony, Jo and Sal) in the evening at Moberley Sports Centre. After badminton we usually go for a cheeky pint to pile on the calories we just lost after a gruelling session.

Saturday was my sister Ramani's 34th birthday. Her chosen venue was 'Kanaloa' near St Paul's, central London. It's a relatively new bar, launched by the same team who created reknowned celebrity VIP hangouts Mahiki, Whiskey Mist and The Punch Bowl. The official website is http://www.kanaloaclub.com/. My opinion of the place? Its a fresh, new look for a bar. The drinks are quite expensive. I bought a Tiger beer for £6 (!!!). A sambuca shot is £8. (!!!??!!?!) The cocktail prices are not bad though. Most of them were in the £8 -£10 range. The night reminded me that I haven't grown tired of clubbing. I love it!

Roll on Monday for another club night, this time it was Sal's 27th birthday at Oceana(Watford). My best mate, Tony, went to Wolverhampton university and Sal happened to be one of his housemates. Thats how I know Sal. The evening started with a poker/drinks session at Tony's. At the time, I was contemplating drinking for the whole night, and not driving. And thats what I did. We picked up Raj, my cousin, and after a few games of PS3 Street Fighter and FIFA, we drove off to Oceana.

If you haven't been to Oceana, go there! Its brilliant!! Formerly known as Destiny's, its essentially a club complex, similar to Evolution in Leeds. It was the 1st time I went there on a Monday night and the 4th overall. Each night I've been there has been a good night. We got free entry into Milan bar, went to the upstairs section and were chatting to some girls, as you do. I was a little tipsy at this point, after downing half a bottle of Glen's vodka mixed with good old Dr Pepper.

It turned out to be another great night. And this time I was a little more confident when dancing with girls. A bit of bump n grind lol. Thanks go to Sal for advising me which girl to go for, and also for driving my car. Sal's cool. Sal's the man! SAL MAN!

The morning after the night before. Today. I woke up, feeling okay. No hangover, as per usual. My water drinkage and chicken munchage went down a treat, lining up my stomach nicely to soak up all the ethanol.

I managed to get to my interview in time. The job? A telesales executive at a fashion makeover studio: Sapphire Studios. Essentially, the main task of the executive is to book appointments for people who want a makeover. I did a similar role at 'Coverlook' near Oxford Circus but that ended in tears as the pay was purely commissioned based and I sucked. However, this job has a basic pay structure.

The interview went pretty smoothly; but I didn't get a call.Its not the end of the world. I don't mind an experience on the dole; obtaining Job Seeker's Allowance. £50 a week for showing that I'm looking for a job. Not bad eh? I've only recently put in an application for it, so the bankroll will be coming in the next few weeks. Anyhoo, that's that for now. Peace.

Arsenal 5 Porto 0

Come on you gunners!! What a result. A brilliant team performance. Our defence was superb. Campbell played well alongside Vermaelen. Song was efficient as ever in the holding midfield role. Our outstanding players were Nasri, Arshavin and hat trick hero Bendtner. Nasri scored the goal of the game, drifting in from just outside the box, surrounded by 3 Porto defenders, managed to trick his way through and blast a shot just inside the far post. BOOOOOM Shakalaka bampaaclaaat!!

We've shown that we can turn in a match winning performance without our star players Fabregas and Van Persie. Especially Fabregas. He has been the brains of the team, the fulcrum around which our attack revolves. And our top scorer. But with quality players like Nasri, Arshavin and Rosicky, we have a fine attacking force.

Next up is Hull City away. Should be an easy win....
