Knock Knock!

Knock knock.........Who is there?

Am back to my blog,missed you all.

Ok where shud i start from,alot has happened between the last post and today but will summarise.

First, work is driving me nutts,i was given a very huge project to run on business consultancy and i am starting from scartch,i mean no concepts,no resources,no nothing.So i ave to develop so many resources and tools that i will be using in the field in by Jan 3rd 2008.

Today is deadline for AIESEC uganda MC application!I had convinced my self to run for a portfolio that is my new love which is Non corporate management and as i write now i have not filled in even my names and date of birth.But its never too late i have got till midnight so we are talking about 6 Hrs.Wish me luck on this one.

The biggest user centered system is up! You know what am talkin about www.myaiesec.net (Oh my Goosh its so pimped!,that i have forgotten how to use it,which adds to my never ending daily tasks).Every day i am putting in 1 hour to learn how to operate this new system.When i finally get it,then its going to be my PLAY GROUND and i wont even compete with Kaka da FIFA 2007 WORLD PLAYER!!!!!.

Christmas is around the corner i am not in the mix yet! I am so damn busy to hear the christmas songs and see people shopping,being busy would not be a big issue,am actually using it as a scape goat but da real prob is i am as hard up as a beggar,do you feel my mix? Thanks to God i have no one emotionally affiliated to me otherwise i would be in big trouble.

Besides this i have gotten a huge surprise Christmas gift from my Boss!Guess what it is????Got it ,No....Not yet!Oook let me spill it,he has offered to install at my parents home in Jinja a solar Home system,i am so happy i could not get enough of thanking him.You should have seen me smile up to my ears.

Got to go i have already written enough,ok not enough coz i told its a summary.Tomorrow is IDDI at where is the Pillao?Knock knock.................. who is there?Pillao!i have an open invitation to Mai's place for lunch.
As preparation for the climax of IDDI (pillao Eating) i am not eating anything till 2moro so that i can show them what i got?I mean you need to have talent like mine to get an open invitation for IDDI!

Trip to the Capital City of Northern Uganda.

When you hear northern uganda what comes to your mind is the war and kony the Imbecile responsible for the death of so many innocent people.

But this is not what i witnessed when i got to Lira(capital city of Northern Uganda),its a very busy and good town infrastructure wise and its very safe (No Gun shoots).

I travelled to lira on saturday being my first time i was very anxious and nervous coz its northern uganda you know!.I woke up early packed and was in the bus by 9:30 am.The bus took forever to get full so i had to chill for another 2 Hrs reading the New vision as i kept drawing pictures of what Lira looks like in my mind.

12:15 the bus starts to move and there we went,passed through various towns like Bombo,Luwero and as we got to Nakasongoro,the bus got some mechanical problems and the engine was smooking like a chimney.

We stopped for 2 hrs and then set off,midway the journey at a place called Bweyale,it was time to stop again.This time the fault was getting worse.The driver added water in the engine and we were off again.

From kampala to Lira its ment to take 4 Hrs but we took approximately 8 Hrs.I was so tired my knees were aching thanks to being tall my legs could not fit in the space in between the seats.

The view of lira at night is wonderful,there are street lights,so many hotels and people there enjoy a social drink called Malwa.Why i call it social is that you seat in acircle with other people and then drink from the same pot with various long straws.This drink is accompanied with local dances and music with tales.

The 2 nights in Lira were awesome!I slept in one of the best hotels around called Town view Hotel.I also took a Moto ride around the town and saw the late Milton Obote's home with his statue welcoming visitors in the compound,IDP's that are now demolished since peole have relocated back to their homes.

Business was good there i met a very positive and enthusiatsic solar dealer who motivated me more to give him as much support as i cpuld and even promised to go back.

COMING BACK FROM LIRA.

Monday morning i was up by 6:00 am,took a really cold shower and had for break fast which is on da house or return ticket as my friend chris likes calling it.9:45 am i was leaving Lira town.

The bus i boarded seemed very good,and i thought i would be on time for kampala.it was a smooth journey a part from the chicken that we shared the bus with and kept jumping on my feet until Nakasongora.

In Nakasongora there is a police check point and as soon as we left the check point the bus got a flat tyre.In side me i wanted to make alot of noise to the driver for putting scrap tyres but then i asked my self how bad could it have been?Imagine this bus was over speeding(just like they always do) and had a flat tyre?By now i would be in hospital.So i had to change my thoughts there and then.

After 2 Hrs of tyre fixing we left Nakasongora only to get another flat tyre in Luwero.This time the driver just continued as if nothing happened till kampala.I cannot believe i am now back to kampala but fweecks...... thanks to GOD.
