Destination: Koh Phangan
Destination: Koh Phangan
Hopefully you’ll all be arriving in
Once you’ve landed in Koh Samui, there are two options for ferries, my suggestion is that you take the ferry to Haad Rin (there is another ferry to Tong Sala (which is another port in Koh Phagan, if you do opt for this, there is a 20 minute taxi ride after that takes you to Haad Rin ) It doesn’t really matter which ferry you take, but the haad rin one will take you straight to your destination (but this all depends on ferry timetables and what suits you) If you do miss a ferry, don’t stress too much cause there are shit loads during the dayJ
Once at Haad Rin, get your ass to Paradise Bungalows (or Ring me – I’ll send out another email when I get to Thailand tell ing everyone my thai number… but I should have my new Zealand number on roaming as well +6421WOKBOY, Text me, as I’ll be too cheap to pick up if you call – Rick will also have his foen +6421PALE-HO) But if the shit does hit the fan, Just get your ass to Paradise Bungalows, that’s where we’re staying …I hope… (but yeah, this email will be a goood opportunity to email me back with your travel plans so I know when to expect everyone , rah rah rah)

Sundays
Decided last night would be the last night that i hit the old alcohol.. need to start getting back in shape... well try... been trying to get back into a routine for the last few weeks.. . its the damn electric blanket with all its goodness, and warmth.... sigh....
I think i was suppose to go sky diving yesterday, but ended up piking cause i was really strapped for cash... yeah 250 dollars for a 14 sec free fall... money well spent?!?!?!? who knows...
Anyway think i'm gonna see if i can knuckle down and do somethign productive today... its quite dangerous cause this weekends a long weekend, but i've got an exam on Tuesday, so i can see this whoel day going to waste, and then frekaing out tomororw before the exam... better not let that happen...
Was trying to have a quiet weekend in as well.. but rick convinced me to go out, well he kinda lured me with 6 steaks... (which i finished) and won a game of poker, which i gambled my nite one.. (if he won i'd go out, if i won, i'd go home). As per usual we ended up at lenin, but at about 2am?? Was a but of an adventure, started of with Janna and the girls at a turkish cafe, havign some shesha, then walking down to car to enjoy a few rounds of baloons.... WE FINALLY end up at lenin, onyl to find Craig and Haylea, didnt see hayley for long, i think she had to dash because both her boys were in town at the same time, lol.. both... ahhh good times good times. The nite ended up with rick, craig and i walking up to code... And Craig doing some really weird shit like hitting on janna and her friends with the mayfly line... umm gues you have to be there.. top guys.... not that smooth... lol like a chunky peanut butter...
Thats it for now... go fuck a duck:P

Think i'm jaded....
HAHAHAH Found this the other day in my bookmarks... Wat load of shit...
DELETE DELETE DELETE!!!!
It hurts to love someone and not be loved in
return, but what is the most painful is to love
someone and never finding the courage to let the
person know how you feel.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people
before meeting the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we should know how to be
grateful for that gift.
Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion,
the romance-and you find out you still care for that person.
A sad thing about life is that when you meet someone who
means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it
was never bound to be and you just have to let go.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens
but often we look so long at the closed door that we
don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the one you could sit
on a porch, swing with, never say a word, and then
walk away feeling like that was the best conversation
you've had.
Its' true that we don't know what we've got until
we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know
what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance
that they'll love you back! don't expect love in
return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts but
if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
There are things you love to hear but you would
never hear it from the person whom you would like to
hear it from, but don't be deaf to hear it from the
person who says it with his heart.
Never say goodbye when you still want to try -
never give up when you still feel you can take it -
never say you don't love that person anymore when you can't let go.
Love comes to those who still hope even though
they've been disappointed, to those who still believe
even though they've been betrayed, need to love those
who still love even though they've been hurt before.
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone and a day to love someone - but
it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks' it can deceive; don't go for
wealth - even that fades away. go for someone who
makes you smile coz' only a smile makes a dark day
seem bright. hope you find that person.
There are moments in life when you really miss
someone that you want to pick them from your dreams
and hug them for real! hope you dream of that someone.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to
go; be what you want to be cuz you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things you want in life.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to
keep you human, enough hope to make you happy and
enough money to buy me gifts :)
Always put yourself in other's shoes. if you feel
that it hurts you, it probably does hurt the person, too.
A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word
may wreck a life; a timely word may level stress;
a loving word may heal and bless.
The beginning of love is to let those we love be
perfectly themselves, and not to twist them with our
own image - otherwise, we love only the reflection of
ourselves we find in them.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt,
those who have searched and those who have tried. for
only they can appreciate the importance of people who
have touched their lives.
Love starts with a smile,
develops with a kiss and ends with a tear. :(
The brightest future will always be based on a
forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling - live your life so that when
you die, you're smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Tryingt o swallow down 3 at the moment, shit me, they are disgusting, woudltn' be doing it if iwasn't trying to be healthy, what gets me, are those commericials?!?! People actually do 6 or more?!?!?! At least the cardboard meals you order at MacDonalds taste good...
Mmmmm That wasn't really leading into anything, just bored and wanted soemthing to do while eating breafast/tastless horrid healthy shit...
Oh I'd also appreciate any comments on what to have on my wheatbix besides COPIUS ammounts of sugar, which is the only logical way of making the shit taste good, but defeats the purpose of healthy alex....
Oooo just figured out how this could lead into some sort of 'worthwhile' reading... The reason i am eating 'brick shaped wheat that is marketed to stupid Kiwis as the patriotic breakfast to eat' IS CAUSE OF DEEP HARD AND FUNKY!! woohoooo... alrite that point didn't even make sence.. but I was trying to loosly associate my weekend bender, with my new found sence of 'healthy wellbeing'
Alrite REALLY scatterd this morning, blogging while scattered is not goood... mmmm friday blog should be fun then
Anyway thanx for wasting your time:D Much Love
Alex

Another weekend with sweet fuck all to do......
Hmmmmm another weekend of fuckall to do.. which gives me an opportunity to write useless bits of infomation that mite, but probably wont change the world at all...
Useless fact #1.
All Females are lesbians...this is probably more directed towards the male readers of my blog, but seeing as i struggle to find an audience at all.. i guess the ladies can be privied to this bit of infomation aswell... however, it isn't up for debate, so don't get your panties in a knot about the following truths, that i have discovered over my 22 years of life... Carrying on...
All women are lesbians, they're attracted to the smell of punani... its a prety bold statement, but I always find that when i'm dating someone, or getting any at all.. i'm the most desireable man on the planet.. however when the action stops... my attractions level just bottom out... eventually...
Which brings up another termed.. that ppl in my industry, the industry of desperation call RMS (residual muff stench) RMS is 'theoretical' time period between getting some, and not gettting some... RMS can also be loosely translated into scientific terms as 'Pheramones'...
So i hope this has helped other desperate male folk out there understand their situation, its not that you're a wanker, or that ur ugly, its just that you've lost the smell:D So rush down to you local supermarket today, and get some fresh fish today:D

Got my snorkle test in bout 30 minutes, which mean si'll be chugging a bucket through a snorkle... mmmm the final test before becoming a divemaster... shoudl be quite an experience will write bout it in the morning....
Tomorrow i'm also gonna be doing a free diving course, which will hopefully get my static breathhold to being bout 4-5 minutes... doub tit.. but maybe...

Ricks been pretty sick for the last few days...well not pretty sick, that just sounds really dramatic, Its more like he's had "shit" coming out of him from both ends... not sure if he'd like me sharing this with everyone, but i've had to put up with the smell.... and if he's willing to share that.. then he can make allowances for what i'm willing to share.. lol
Turning 22 was pretty fun, i' pretty much celebrated it twice, First at 12:01... but i was coughing like a bitch so i ended up onyl staying out for an hour, and slept... in the morning we missioned our way to Koh Samui, and found soem dingy little out House for 450 baht (at Lucky Mother Bungalows, CHEAP AS SHIT, SHIT being the word, but still cheap) ... seeing as we were both crook as hell we pretty much slept the whole day, except for the few minutes we spent bargaining for ricks armani suit;) hahahahah
That night we celebrated my birthday for the 2nd time, Rick got his suit fitted, and then we rocked off to some seedy little go go bar, called Dream Girls... no dream girls, just dodgey old guys looking at Thai girls dancing in bikinis on a stage... i swear i saw more tits in Koh Phangan... lol god bless the sweeedish tourists...
And that brings us up to today, my first day as a 22 year old... and my last day of not being alone for two months... Was at Mac Donalds today, chucking down on a Fillet O Fish when i realised this though, started freaking out a bit, until i realised that Rick hadn't finished his fries, so instead of freaking out, i started eating... yeah.... Its gonna be weird travelling by myself... its kinda exciting and really daunting at the same time... but i guess i'll have my diving to keep me occupied.. also made the decision not to go to malaysia today as wel.. seeing as i dont think i'll have enough time to go Diving, go to malaysia, and also reaturn in time for my course.. so instead fo going to malaysia i' thin i'll buy myself a psp or soemthing.. .little compromises are great...
Anyway missing everyone heaps... see you in afew months

Bike Mission
Rental motorbikes kick ass...
Got some motorbikes for 250 baht today, and went for a cruise round the island. The roads have seriuosly improved since we were last year, so instead of getting just outta haadrin, we actually got to other towns, lol... (that was just for you ben)
Found two water falls, and made it to the top of some view point, view was pretty awesome.. lotsa coconut trees, could see to the end of the island.. but yeah...
I think i'm pretty much finished with Koh Phagan for now, want to go get some divign under my belt, definitely gonna rage for the last week though, at least while ricks here... Made a plan to leave the island on my birthday, hit samui, then see rick off on the 8th.... Which is when i'll make my way to koh tao...
Well take care everyone.. These posts are gonna get pretty irregular (not that they already haven't), but all i'll be doing is diving and studying...

New Years...
Alrite heres my attempt at trying to recount what exactly happend the nite:
Its round bout 6pm and we've been sitting around all day, prety much laxing in the sun, reading, swiming, wateva, the buffet doesn't start till 8, so we thought it be a really gud idea to go to the local cafe, and have a few beers, watch a movie, eat some chips..
By 8, we were bloated on 3 chang beers, and stuffed full of chips, so the pig that they had roasting, the barracuda, and all the lovely thai food that we'd supposedly paid for wasn't looking the most appealing... sigh.... but i dont like to waste mney, so i threw down a plate all the same, and started to get more drunk.
Met up with some australians who though they were the pride of aussie at skulling... yeah rite.. I sooned set them straight, 2 skulls later, and feeling even more pissed, and WAY To bloated, I spent the next 10 minutes trying to hold down all the food i 'd just eaten.. At this point it didn't realy look like i was gonna make it to new years).
THen cam beer pong, which is the most ridiculous drinking game in the world, you stand at opposite ends of the table, throwing a ping pong ball, into a cup , if u get it intothe cup, the person has to skull.... yeah.. it just toook waaaaay to long to get drunk, and my depth perception was shot to shit by now...
Me and Rick supposedly won a pool competition and received a pale full of vodka and Red Bull.. which the owner of the bar took it on himself, to share out bucket with everyone else, it was all going well, until some rasta bum put his dreadlocks into the bucket, and that was it for me.. probably devine intervention cause I was starting to slur and get blur vision (30 more minutes to countdown) - The 3 hours i spent atthe sports bar was pretty much a blur as well....
Heres where things get REALLY Hazy... we rock up to the beach at 11:30 for count down, and the beach is COATED , COVERED, CARPETED with people, you can hardly move, and i think i missed countdown, or I had my own one, cause I had no recollection of couting down similtaneously with 30,000 people... Mmmmmm
I think at this point, Rick and I we were still hitting the Changs (beers that have an alcohol content of 6-8% sometimes more)
Soon after this though we did start on the buckets, the beach was just way to crowed so we went up stairs at drop in bar to chill out, thats where we foudn the americans, Steph (paradist laundry gurl) and yeah.,.... Chilled out there for a bit, had a few buckets...
OH and I rememeber crusing round chicken corner, and the streets, getting kisses from every gurl we saw, awesome... and then somehow we managaed to stumble into purple haze, buy a shake.. and thats where the nite ended i think... cause theres monkey in a foto that I have, that i VAGUEly remember even seeing... yep... New years was definitely interesting..
Hope you guys had a gud one too and congrats on making it this far in my blog.. cAtch you up in two months

happy New years everybody
These photos are in no particular order.... some are from the new years party and some are from the boat trip... just htougth it was time to let everybody seewhat one month of partying and drinking can do to a person.... HELLO ROLL CITY!!!
So New years was pretty awsome, spent the beginning at a sports bar, whihc had a thai buffet and special cake, hahahahahah Didn't really get too much into the buffet cause before we actualyl got there, me an drick started tuckign into some chang beers and chips, really stupid, so as soon as we got there, we were Full and bloated as fuck...
Really bizaare thing happend, met up with kendra from Epsom gurls, leannes mates, its was liket he weirdest thing that oculd possibly happen, (ok not the weirdest but pretty fucked up) can't wait till i get everyone else here.. The beach was packed as you can see, easily 30,000 people, or more, had to get to some upstairs bars just so i could chillax witha bucket...
As you can probbly tell i'm really scattered, and will most likely give a more concise account of what did happen... later on...
Just hope eveyrones had an amazing new years, and i'm missing you guys heaps... but hey.. cheap piss, cheap food, hot gurls... its not that bad of a compromise...
'You can tell people bout thailand, but they will never really understand' <=== silly durnk talk by some english guy... so tru though, so tru...
