CHILL

I’m not one of those people that remove their seat belts and stand up on a plane as soon as a plane touches the runway for landing. I’m that chill šŸ˜… 


Especially now in the time of COVIK when they ask people to move row by row. I always look at the people that stand immediately in awe cos WHYYYYY šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚  are you scared that blood will stop flowing to your legs? What is this? 



You still have to wait if you’re not sitting in the front row so chill for God’s sake šŸ˜‚ 



In fact, for my 1st ever flight, I was with my mum, she made me wait on the plane till everyone got off, then we went to say hi to the pilots, the entire cabin crew etc. there’s hardly any rush for these things.


I understand the rush for international flights though. You have to go through immigration and the difference between the 1st off a plane and the last can be almost 2 hours especially if it’s a big plane that’s full. 



But people that do this for local flights get me every time šŸ˜‚  I’m like, we’re all going to the same baggage claim. The bags don’t come out in the order of how we came out the plane. Sometimes 1st class peeps don’t even get their bags before those in economy so again CHILL šŸ˜‚ 




Except, of course, you didn’t check in any bag and you’re in a hurry for a meeting or to catch another flight or something else.


Now that I take trains & buses every now and then, I see the same thing. 

The moment the PA system announces that the next stop is where some people are going, they immediately ARISE as if dem be O’COMPATRIOTS




I find this especially hilarious because of the way trains & buses stop (here in the UK). When the train finally stops, there’s a kick/nudge that shakes the entire train/bus so if you’re not holding on to something, you can legit fall if your leg no too strong for ground. 


And more importantly, if you sat where you were, you have more than enough time to ARISE after the train/bus comes to a full stop and move out of the train before the doors close and the train goes on its merry way. But anyway… it’s one of those things I suppose šŸ˜…

 

What’s the point of this blog post?




To encourage you to CHILL sometimes šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ not every time gragra

There isn’t always a rush. I’d argue that there often isn't. Even Dominic Torreto no too dey rush. Why are you running? And sometimes, when we end up getting to where we were rushing to, we realize we earlier than NEEDED so the whole rush wasn’t even necessary. Ko necesstry rara. We just got ourselves worked up for no reason.


So here’s your reminder to cool down for Jesus šŸ˜… 


Chill frenz

I'M MOVING TO AUSTRALIA šŸ„³šŸŽ‰šŸŽ‰

I’m moving…. AGAIN? Call me Kwaku the traveller cos I do be travelling… but not this time. I’m actually moving. By now, most (if not everyone) reading this blog knows I've moved to Sydney, Australia. When I first posted about arriving in Australia on WhatsApp, I think some people thought I was just visiting Australia because I have been travelling A LOT this year. In just 9 months of this year, I've been to 6 countries, including Singapore and Australia, which is A LOT! If you didn't already figure it out, the reason I was travelling like a headless chicken in summer was because I sorta knew I was leaving the UK. So I wanted to get the most out of that location proximity and visa while I could. Few people fully understand how and why I made the move, and posting this on Twitter revealed this very jarringly. Especially since the tweet referenced me having worked in Cairo, London and now Sydney all by the --- very ripe (I quickly rued my choice of "very ripe age" a...

A LUNCH TO REMEMBER

I'm writing this blog on Sunday, the 26th of May, 2024. On Wednesday, I posted about this incredible lunch I had that I was going to share the details of on my WhatsApp status but never got around to writing down the story. To truly “immortalize” this experience, I’ve decided to also share this story on my blog. Here's the story. Let’s start at the beginning. My industry friend invited me to this steak lunch at a restaurant called Bistecca.  All I knew about the restaurant was the name. I typed in the details on Google Maps and walked from my office. When I was 1 minute away, I thought a building I saw in the distance was the restaurant, but when I got closer, I realized it wasn’t it. I looked around, trying to find said restaurant while simultaneously swearing for Google Maps; after all, this wouldn't be the 1st time Google Maps had led me astray. Remember my Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very bad day ? Yeah, that was all proudly sponsored by Google Maps. While looking arou...

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Recently, I decided to open an account with one of the most reliable banks I know because the bank I currently use is not particularly good. On that day, my friend and I went with the required documents to the branch that's located in my school. Since it's a small branch, there was only one desk officer and if you're familiar with the procedure for opening an account, the bank usually needs a copy of some documents that you can't give them the original to, e.g. international passport, student ID. Since the desk officer couldn't leave his station to make photocopies of these documents, he had to get the security guard to do the work for him. The security guy came with so much attitude to him. At first, he accused us of forging documents because one of the original documents we brought wasn't "printed in color", next he couldn't find my passport that I already gave to him so he started shouting at me as if I would steal my own passport . After a f...
