SA bits 55 : Double trouble?

Look what I've got as a gift for my hospitality :P
Guna from NSTP (friend of Akash) bunked over at my place while waiting for his flight. He gave me this bottle as a token of appreciation. Not as smooth as JW Green Label though. Nevertheless, it was good stuff. Something to keep me warm during these winter nights :P ... and no, I'm not an alcoholic.

SA bits 54 : First time for everything

There's a first time for everything, and today I was told that I had committed a fireable offence :O
Somewhere along the line of work, tight project timelines and hectic scheduling, a process was not followed in terms of the company's purchasing policies and procedures. The guys in upper management are busy fixing it up and hopefully it will be rectified. Lesson learnt, and don't take policies lightly regardless of the amount of money involved.

SA bits 53 : To Johannesburg Soccer City for Uruguay vs Ghana Quarter Final match

I had a slightly different view in this match. More centered than cornered so to say. Traffic was horrible today since it's end of the working week. We (Vuyo the criminal and I) arrived early but missed the Brazil vs Netherlands game. We had a boerewors hotdog, a couple of drinks and into the stadium we went.

The bbq pit full of wors on the grill.

Hawker food SA style

The criminal and I... actually I look more like a criminal than Vuyo don't you think?

The more "centered" view :P

Random video of the crowd outside the stadium before the game.


Ghana played a very good game, it was just not meant to be. I was just updating my facebook status, stating how sad to see them play so well but still not make it due to luck. The ball is round indeed....

Seen here is a pic taken from FIFA.com that says it all. You can read the story here.
