Bye Marcus!

2008-11-08T07:03:00.000Z

These pictures were taken during Marcus's leaving party. They were all taken with my rather lousy phone camera so bare with me on the blurry pictures!

Bye!

Steven! That's my job!

Far away look...

Hey! You're not in our class! And that's my chicken!

Hmm...

Heather thinks! I don't believe it!

Hey! You're not in our class either!

Now for the clean up!

Duck!

Bye Marcus!

Good as new! Nobody look under the desk...

What are you doing down there?

Marcus, you look a bit terrified.

Bye Marcus have a good time!

Irritated beyond belief

2008-08-19T07:34:00.002+01:00

I am really annoyed, irritated and frustrated right now.

No.1: I left my hard drive in England which has all my photos and stuff on it.
No.2: I have no camera to take photos with.
No.3: I am back from a brilliant holiday to a comparatively mundane existence in Brunei till I return to (whoopee) school.
No.4: I miss my family back in England, I went from being with about 15 people to being in a house with 3.

Ah well. I'll just have to deal with it. I'll live.

I promise to post more when I get my hard drive back. Whenever that will be. < :-)

Italy - Part 4 - The Barbecue

2008-08-15T10:07:00.000+01:00

When we were in Italy, we had a barbecue, it was absolutely excellent.

The best chicken I have ever had in my life! Ever!

Louis with his eyes closed in the picture... as usual.

The remnants. The delicious remnants.

My uncle's speciality, barbecued banana!

Barbecued banana with yoghurt.

Best barbecue ever!

Italy - Part 3 - The Waterpark (or Aqualand)

2008-08-14T09:53:00.000+01:00

On the first day of my visit to Italy we went to Aqualand Waterpark in Milan (and on the way saw the stadium where AC Milan play) with my two little cousins, Georgio and Louis plus my Uncle, their father, Mark.

After being completely freaked out by this picture Louis took (yes, I know, he took a LOT)...

...and helping Felix "go walkies" (Louis took this one too!)...

...we set off to have lunch in a little cafe in the village...

While waiting for the food I got a picture of some funny...

...and scary faces by Louis!

Giorgio, instead of making faces at me, went for a ride on his bike.

After lunch we arrived at the waterpark...

And went on rides!

Giorgio and me going on the tyre rapids.

If you look carefully, you can see a figure on the right slide coming down in abject terror!

I also went on this one, don't believe me? I have video!

I also went on this one!

But finally it was time to go...

I had a great time!

Italy - Part 2 - Family

2008-08-12T15:44:00.001+01:00

I thought since I am going to be posing a lot of pictures I took on holiday, it would be good to make things a little less confusing and do a post on my family.

These are two of my cousins, Giorgio on the right, Louis (pronounced Loo-ee) on the left.

Giorgio after seeing Kung-Fu Panda.

My cousin Felix, Giorgio and Louis brother.

My grandmother!

And Louis again!

Italy - Part 1 - The Journey

2008-08-12T13:53:00.000+01:00

As you know, I have been in Italy since last Wednesday, I've had loads of fun and will be blogging about it over the next few hours.

This post is bout the journey I had to Italy.

Checking in with RYANAIR. Note the Windows error message on the screen beside it.

My view of the seat in front of me. Note that they were too cheap to provide an emergency procedures booklet, but provided a cheap sticker.

I like this one. What is that meant to mean? Put on a life jacket then do the chicken dance while spinning around?

Note my leg jammed right up against the chair in front.

How cheap can you get?! Advertisements everywhere! Even on the radio! "It's your chance to be a millionaire with Ryanair!" SHUT UP!

And finally my first picture I took in Italy, a picture of my cousin Louis!

I'm Back!

2008-08-12T13:28:00.000+01:00

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry I didn't post earlier today but I only woke up at 12 but now, after brunch and a shower and feeding the fish, I am ready to post. I think I will post in parts, so Italy - Part 1 and stuff. So... I'll post in a few minutes! Bye!

Hello!

I have a lot of blogging to catch up on but I can't do it quite yet, the Internet connection is too slow to upload any photos but I am going back to England tomorrow evening, the flight is about 2 hours, plus about 30 minutes and the drive home at least another hour, so, by the time I get home it will be too late and I will be too tired. But I promise I will blog the first thing on Monday morning.

Just a little taste of what's coming:

My time in Switzerland
My little cousins
In the mountains
And more!

Italy is awesome

2008-08-09T14:04:00.000+01:00

Hi guys!

I'm currently in Italy with 3 of my cousins, my aunt, my uncle and my grandmother! I'm having a great time and I wish I could posted a few pictures and the videos I took, but, unfortunately I didn't bring my cable, however I have had an idea as to how I could get the photos off the camera and onto the computer. I'll post later!

Ben

Sorry

2008-08-05T11:42:00.000+01:00

Sorry guys, I just wrote a blog post and then Firefox crashed and I lost it, I really can't bothered to redo it now, maybe later today.

I am going to Italy tomorrow and I probably won't be able to get on the Internet while I am there so be patient for a few days until I am back!

Science of Survival

2008-08-02T16:25:00.001+01:00

On Thursday my brother, my mum, my grandmother and I all went to London... again... We went to see the Science Museum for a special exhibition, "The Science of Survival".

I took this photo while waiting to be let into the gallery, but I know what your thinking;

What?!?! Why did Ben forget to rotate the photo? Ahh! But I didn't! The car was on the roof!

Me splashing around in a virtual fish tank!

Me trying on a hat made out of recycled... boots. Oh...

After this I dropped the camera lens down onto the floor... Ooops. I then tried to turn it on and it turned on but the lens was stuck... Oh dear. Then I did what any normal human being would do! I whacked it! And now it works! :P

A blatant Rip-Off of the Camel Pack!

Our bus to take us to the train station!

Liverpool Street!

The inside.

A smiling fish?

That's what happens when you carry around chocolate all day and then give it to your brother...

And finally an awful picture of my mum grandmother and brother.

By the way, this morning my brother and mum left to go back to Brunei, so it's just me and grandma but on Wednesday I'm going to Italy to see my cousins so expect some photos!

A Day In London

2008-07-29T17:44:00.002+01:00

I did promise that this post would be more relevant, and I think I can keep that promise. Yesterday, we went to London, we went to Summerset House, the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum.

The train!

Me and my brother making silly faces on the train!

My brother completely unable to finish his drink.

A head...

Summerset house!

What?!?!? What kind of telephone box is that?!?!?!?

That's better. Some proper London telephone boxes.

A view from a double decker bus.

Me bored waiting for my mum to finish shopping.

Where I would like to go!

Me taking a picture of a CCTV camera...

HELLO!

Me standing on an arch bridge I made!

Me at South Kensington.

Me and my camera shy mum.

An elephant at the station?

I won't, I promise!

So all in all a great day, but if I never see one more "Cezzane" painting it will be too soon!

I just wanted to say that those photos have probably no meaning to any of you, but I was frankly bored so I took photos, simple as that, I promise from now on my photos will be more relevant!

Ben

2008-07-27T13:30:00.000+01:00

I thought, just to start I would post a few of my best photos!

My grandmother's hanging plant!

An Elephant thing...

A dandelion.

Some sea shells

2008-07-26T19:01:00.000+01:00

Yesterday and today I have possibly taken more pictures than I have taken in the past year! I have taken a total of 271 photos (not including the awful blurry and accidental ones I took) totalling 622MB! I'll post the ones I am really proud of but you can see the other ones at this link: http://picasaweb.google.com/Ultimateshot1/Photos

Sorry!

2008-07-04T09:33:00.000+01:00

Hello,

Just to let anyone know, I have only created this blog now to get it up to scratch for use in the future and to reserve the address.

When I get my new camera, which should be in a few months time, I will start really posting, until then it's just going to sit here with maybe a few changes to the design!

Keep me bookmarked!
