Coaching

I really want a coach education! There is one next summer which will give me a certificate, and I will have time to save money. OK, no rush, I know... but sometimes it't just hard not to rush.

Need to practice living now. Now is all that matters.

Friday

Today has been a good day :)

It started out at Aker Brygge where I was supposed to get a package from Swedbank. Since I got a ride in to Oslo with Maja I had some time to just chill and enjoy the view before the meeting at Swedbank. I bought a sandwich and an orange juice, sat down by the sea and watched the boats passing by.


Oh, by the way! We've had "rivals" outside Egertorget - OREO! Haha, but they turned out to be very kind to us, because this is what our garbage looked like today:

Someone has been munching tons of cookies, eh? (as if our cookies weren't enough...)

Anyway, think it's time to sleep! I'm working tomorrow too.
G'night and sleep tight

Teatime beautiful people

Washing clothes and preparing for Saturday while havin' a cup of tea and listening to Beautiful People (Chris Brown & Benny Benassi). I'm excited actually. It's going to be nice to see my family and friends again, hehe. Feels like it's been forever even though it's only been two weeks.
enI guess that whne you go through a big transformation in life two weeks could just as well be two years.

Hm... what else... I haven't done much since I last posted. Work's going greater each day and I love my co-workers. I have a family here :) They are so good teachers, and so are the costumers. They teach me a whole lot, even though the attitude among them might be a bit rough sometimes. But I like it.

Guh... I'm slightly tired so maybe my English isn't perfect right now :)

And I don't have anything else to write about so... bye for now!

Hoffmaestro & Timbuktu

After work I went straight down to Operahuset to see Hoffmaestro and Timbuktu.


It was a sunny evening and so perfect.


We all enjoyed the weather and were so excited about the show.

First on stage - Hoffmaestro! Everybody went crazy. Music was awesome, performance was awesome, crowd was awesome. I had such a good time!

After Hoffmaestro it was time for Timbuktu. He was so short in real life! He did a great performance and people were dancing like crazy. I met my boss and one of my co-workers so I spent the rest of the show together with them. It was so much fun!

Timbuktu & Hoffmaestro on stage together.

After the gig I went to my one of my brothers apartment. Spent some time there before we went out. Had a few beer and a very good time.
I am currently very sleepy. Bedtime early tonight :)

Skolebrød & Street Art

THURSDAY

On Thursday I worked from 12:30 to 20. The reason was because I needed to learn how to close the shop. It was fun. I also learned to work in the TakeAway area. I'm still struggling with bread and names, but Linda (my boss) told me to print product information on every bread so today I will do my homework.
Anyway, after I left I ended up watching this (see image above). Two men were painting incredible images with grafitti spray on Karl Johan. I've seen them everyday when I've been walking from work to the busstation but this time I decided to actually stop for a few minutes and look. It was so cool! I watched one of them create a huge full moon behind New York City. Truely amazing.

I took the bus home to Majas place where I currently live. It's located a bit outside Oslo, but I realyl don't mind. It's a very quiet place. I had to stop and shoot a (bad) picture of the (so beautiful) sky.

FRIDAY

Yesterday was nice. I started work at 9:30 but since I got to ride with Maja I got into town one hour earlier than I had to. I decided to buy myself a coffee (Cappuccino á la Samson - yummy!) and sit down somewhere. It was cosy, and so needed. The caffeine did its job and it didn't take long before a new energy was spread inside my body, which - also - would be very useful during the day. I spent the hole day running back and forth with dirty dish. Jeeez! At those times you just wish people could stop eating, haha.


One of the girls at work asked me during the day if I wanted to go out with her and her friends for dinner. Yes! We ended up at a Italian restaurant called Olivia on Aker Brygge. It was so good to hang out with some people. Thank you! We had a really good time.

SATURDAY (today)

Today I'm going to see Hoffmaestro and Timbuktu life after work. That, my friends, is going to be awesome!

OK! Time to get ready for work again.


Take care all, and please, stay tuned ;)

Norway

Hello friends!
I'm currently located in Oslo, Norway, to start a new life, get some life- and work experience and earn some money. I tell you, it is fun fun fun! I'm working on Egertorget in the middle of Karl Johan at a company called W. B. Samson. Samson is a cafe chain in Oslo and they have about 21 stores spread all over the capital. The store at Egertorget is the biggest. It's very busy, which is understandable since Karl Johan is more or less crowded all the time.

I'm doing my 4th day today and I really enjoy working there. During these 4 days I have developed a whole lot I think. I never thought I would be standing behind a coffee machine screaming "Double cappuccino!!" so people nearly lose their hearing. But I am! Hehe
My co-workers are amazing! I like them all. The atmosphere is very positive and refreshing (maybe the coffein is partly contributory to that...) and the days just fly by!

Yesterday was awesome! I felt so elated and effective in my job, I got into a very service minded mood and gave compliments to a few costumers which seemed to brighten them up a lot. There was a woman with a very cool blue bag, waiting for the key to the WC while I ran back and forth with clean and dirty plates. After a while when I'd passed her for the fifth time I had to stop and tell her that I really liked the color on her bag. She looked so surprised and said "Really? You think so?" and I said I did. We started chatting and she told me she was on her way to Germany. I wished her a joyful trip and went back to taking care of the dirty dishes. It felt so good afterwards!
I'll continue to do those things :)

OK, time to upload some pictures.

This was two days ago. After work I met my brother Oskar and he showed me his and Kickis (his girlfriend) apartment. After a while my second brother Joel came.
Kicki, Oskar and I ended up playing TP and drink tea. It was so nice! I'm so happy to have them here as well.

This was yesterday after I left work. 7 young guys (you can't see the drummer) were playing funky monkey music and I ended up thinking about my dear uncle. They were very good!

OK, that's all for now. I have another thing to write about, but I'll do that either tonight or tomorrow.

Until then - take care all and stay tuned ;)
