Well the last few days have been pretty uneventful, granted it was my birthday and i was on the number one party island in Asia..... yeah things just dont seam to add up...but ahhh well...
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...
