30 Days and counting.....

2008-03-02T20:41:00.001+13:00

Its all in the name - the official one month count down has begun.

I can't say its actually sunk in that I'll be leaving Auckland for quite some time - (you've gotta love one way tickets). I think this will be the biggest change in my life to date. I've never left home, and I've never changed homes... 19 years at 70 View Rd..... (I dont really count the time we moved to New Zealand I can barely remember it.....)

So it begins... :

30 days...
720 Hours
20 x Work Days
160 x Work hours

Its not really that long when you look at it that way... urk!

Weather and Memories

2007-10-10T19:21:00.000+13:00

The weathers bring back memories of thailand - something bout the wet humidity - maybe it was riding on the scooter in the rain - but yeah - reminiscing.

Pretty tempted to actually just pack it all up - throw it all in - and gas it! Times are changing and we're here for a good time, not a long time ... right? This can't be life - waking up at 5:30 in the morning, working of 8 hours, and then ..... nothing? 5 days a week - I'm never sure if i'm resting in the weekend for work, or working for the weekend...

Where we are;)

2006-12-31T16:52:00.001+13:00

Hey all...
We're at Paradise Bungalows - p7, p8, p9, p10

Destination: Koh Phangan

2006-12-17T20:54:00.000+13:00

Destination: Koh Phangan

Hopefully you’ll all be arriving in Bangkok Airport, get yourself a transfer flight down to Koh Samui (via www.bangkokair.com ç= or something like it)

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)

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....

2006-06-02T23:48:00.000+12:00

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.

WheatBix

2006-04-12T07:54:00.000+12:00

Urk.. how do white folk eat WheatBix?!?!?! 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......

2006-04-01T14:21:00.000+12:00

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

Diving in the weekend...

2006-03-13T07:45:00.000+13:00

Monday morning... start work today.... yeah... so i went diving monday;) lol, 97th and 98th Dive... so my dives this coming weekend will be dive 100th, which will mean my naked dive... screwed if i'm gonna do my naked dive in new zealand.. i can just imagine my man bits sucking back like a sea anonome and never poping its head out again... so definitely the naked dive is out...
However as the plan stands at the moment the 100th dive will be a cray dive... so i guess that'll be good enough, well it'll be good enough if i get my self a cray;)
Anyway the gym is calling... and i really need to get into a pattern of wake up, Gym, and work;)

Another Day....

2006-03-08T07:58:00.000+13:00

Wednesday Morning:

Think i need to achieve something today, its been a while since I've done that... lol.. actually I lie, I actually tided my 'studio' space... which really means i organised the shit on my desk, the cables, the dvds, blah blah blah...

#1 Go to the Gym
#2 Go to Uni
#3 Accept Job from James
- dicuss conditions i guess, now when would be the polite time to call...
0800 - Isn't good for me, cause i've only just woken up
0900 - Probably a good time to call.. but when you've just 'started' work, maybe a bit tooo eager...
1000 - I'm gonna go with 9:45, 10, just seams tooo late, and 9:30 feels very planned.. lateness,, I dunno... lol

yeah i think thats what i've got on my list sooo far....might even go to underwaterhockey, but really not feeling it right now, can't blame me though it still 8:00am, early days.. ... (a good sign that piss all will be done today...)

Anyway for the sake of the overal credibility of content on the internet, i think next time i write in this blog, something will have happend in my life... lol
such a weird mood today, mite be the fact thats its autumn and overcast... but yeah... having regrets..

Chillin...

2006-03-06T23:51:00.000+13:00

So i'm currently unemployed... I spend 3 hours at uni a week... one has to wonder what i'm dooing wiht my life.. I think thats just the substance abuse talking.. but when you put it shit like this... for everyone to see, for me to see, it makes me realise that I"m not really doing much with my life, but farting around in my room... which really smells.. shit its horrible in my room.. poo particles everywhere....
Anyway... think i'm over my post-thailand depression thing, gotta start planning the ol' life thing, and start getting serious bout things.. been actually quite excited bout the prospect of actually having money, being able to pay for my own petrol, being able to save for a house, thought it would be quite daunting, but shit.. having money would be great....

Time to list the things I could do with my money:
Go on dive trips... weekly;) and afford them
Pay of my student loan (wank wank)
Get drunk in town (wank wank)
Go to events once a month;)
LOLLIES!!!!!!
Make monthly missions to Australia... that would be fun...
Make Yearly trips to thailand... that would be amazing!!!
Pay for my Dive Instructors Training...
Buy a laptop...
Pay Taxes... (alrite.... had to stick in a shit thing.. this list was getting me really excited)

Anywhooo... thats my list of shit to do when and i do get money... but till then.. its lets do FUCKALL in my room... lol...

Since we're into lists... i mite as well do my New years resolutions for this year:
#1 Learn Cantonese
#2 Stop living secret lives....
#3 Get abs;) <=== its an old one, but a good one..
#4 Get my Dive Instructors Ticket;)
#5 Go camping at least once every 3 months
#6 Make a Bazillion Dollars;) ---- Aim for the moon and land among the stars I say...

Nearly Home

2006-02-18T12:07:00.000+13:00

Currently sitting in a chumpon bustation, nearly home.... well not really.... its like another 8 hours busride, 24 hour shopping spree, and then 9 hour flite to Sydney and then another 4 hour flite home, with a 3 hours stoppoff thingee...

DiveMaster....

2006-02-15T23:51:00.000+13:00

Its been an interesting 3 months, most of which has been spent either diving or drinking... or both at the same time....
Really looking foward to going home and getting into a nice spa... yeah.... and then hitting the gym lol... been just getting fat here... lol as much as everybody would liek to think, diving isn't really excercise, its more like Extreme Sight seeing, lol...
Had a really gud last dive today, my buddies were diving a weeeee bit deeper than me, and ended up going into their deco lmits (this is bad bad bad), and so we had to sit at our safety stop for a little bit longer, sharing air, blah blah blah... on the upside i did get to dive deeper for longer, which i havent' done for a while...
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...
Anyway for the people who still check this.... see ya soon:D

Out of Touch

2006-02-03T00:20:00.000+13:00

Hmmm Its coming towards the end of my holiday, only got a few weeks left, think i mite actually try to return earlier for my advertsign course... the way things are i'm only enrolled in one paper for this semester and will have to enrol in another one for next semester, which means a whole half year of working, and saving OLAY!!!..

22... sick... and in thailand...

2006-01-07T21:20:00.000+13:00

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

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...

2006-01-02T01:12:00.000+13:00

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
Alex

happy New years everybody

2006-01-01T20:45:00.000+13:00

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...

Currently sitting in an internet cafe, absolutely mashed outta my tits...
Rick finally got his boney ass here, went on the reggae boat tour yesterday, did some realy amzing snokling, semi cold, which is not a good thing, cause the the waters here are BOILING compared to Nz ones.... climatising sucks bollocks...
Bonnies arrived home safely, which is good, and yeah...
Had a Massage today which was good too... and yeah... way tooo much drinking, the island is starting to pack out, apparently there will be 30,000 here for the Haadrin Count down party.
Anywhoooo... hope everybody is safe and see you in the new year.

Thats it for now...

The Hike

2005-12-22T00:38:00.000+13:00

Its been a while....... few reasons for this.... alcohol... foood... sun... being lazy....
But what has happen lately....
Yesterday was a very interesting day,.... the australians we're hanging out with decided it was time that we hit bottle beach (one of the most secluded, pristine beaches in Koh Phangan) reachable only by boat, or a son of abitch jungle trek......
After catching two taxis to the pier, we realised that the waters were tooo rough, and the onyl way to get there was Jungle Trek... only problem is, we had to drive to another town.. and the only way to get there was by going rite round the island.... (another missions) and for some reason, lately i've been quite partial to teh travelling sickness.. which meant i was stuck up the fron with the taxi driver... mmm the fun times we had...
Any whooo.. we finally get to the town... and its time to go jungle trekking!!!! WOOHOOOO I'm all up for a big walk.. but you have to realise... the boat was the first plan.. and i wasn't planning on walking.. so here i am in my grandpa sandals trekknig through the thailand jungle... EXTREME CHEONG STYLE!!!!!!!
On the upside of things, we did get to 'look out point' which was a high point in the forrest that overlooked the whole island.. it was probably the most beautiful thing i've seen in a while..well at least since this mornig while i was brushing my teeth....360 degrees of BLISS>..
Few things happend as well on the wya there... the australians.. took a wrong turn (which took us to Look Out Point...) but still cost us ano ther hour of treking.. the walk back today to half as long.... But yeah...
Bottle Beach was a freaking wasteland.. they weren't actually opening for another few days.. and they hadn't had their beach clean up... so all the rubbish dfrom the main beach (haadrin) had washedup here...... still being the only 6 people on a beach was pretty amazing...
Pictures lately....

wow... its been a while

2005-12-17T01:39:00.000+13:00

Been pretty lazy with my blog... actualyl i lie.. I've just been drunk a lot... and hungover... so not tooo many entries..
whats appened so far.. tonites the nite of the full mooon, and the Haad Rin is geting packed out.. shit load of swedish gurls, and ausies and isralies... (yeagh go figure)
The alchohol is cheap, the biches are hot, an di'm looking after someone elses gurlfrend... (somethign is really wrong with this picture....) WTF?!?!?!?
hahahah nah its all gud, gives me an excuse not to go round th world in one nite and get some multi cultural stds, which is another way of saying 'saves me from getting rejected by many nations in one nite... )
The Beach has been closed off for the full moon party cause two dumb arse mofos got them selves drowded... and the seas are prety ruff... but yeah... Its all happening in land whcih is lookign pretty fucking gud as well.. cause inland just means the parties on my front lawn.. sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Anywhooo.. gonnan get get unhealthy drunk and look after soemones elses girlfriend (i'm not bitter at all.. cause if i get ehr drunk.. i mite get a 3some going...) ;)

Suns Come out....

2005-12-12T04:02:00.000+13:00

Suns been out for the last few days, so i haven't really been writing much, and i think this is pretyt much gonna be the pattern for the next few messages. big ups to everyone who still checks... (ahh such bored people)
Got some really awesome fotos today as well which i'll post up later, took the ol' underwater camera with me to the beach and just took some fotos of an amazing local beach, Leela... its like every photo i took was a photo.... drooooooooool.... Rented a kayak as well today, and went for a cruise round... all in all its been an amazing few days.. I've turned a new shade of brown which i'm quite stoked with.. .and Bonnie is tanning surprisingly well for a white gurl...
Gonna rent scooters tomorow and hit the Waterfall... YAY!!! Waterfall....
I've manage to set a new standard for getting ones self drunk for cheap.... 200 baht, sculling buckets.. wow.. sure to get ya fucked.. i'm lucky bonnie was a round, cause i coudl hardly see the last few nites;)
Anywho.. hope everyones having a great end of year, and yeah.. Write later..

More ranting....

Waiting for the ferry

2005-12-07T21:19:00.000+13:00

Currently waiting for the ferry, hangover is pretty much gone, and i've just chewed a motion sickness tablet.... wonder if i shold have stuck it under my tongue, or railed it for more potency.. cause no way do i want to be throwing up on teh way back...
I forgot to mention in the last entry, that i now have a few lady boy groupies, theres this one albino man bitch who keeps touching me when i walk past.... cant' raelly do shit about it though, cause as pussy as they look, 10 man bitches on you , would not be ppretty, plus they have nails... shudder.... The Gurls have been pretty gud though, Tash Loz, and Bonnie, all have my back, so i guess we could have a rumble, bitches vs man bitches, in the sand... wet.... hehehehehh
Realised today as well while sitting on the florr that i'm getting soem stinky fucking toes jams eh.... its almost become toe yoghurt, it that gross... well its smells somethign chronic, so gonna head back and wash me feat.. mmm looking foward to that as well... Theres actualyl a fly hanging round my foot it smells that bad...his name Trevor, I've got some logs of shit for feet... think i'll got get me a thai foot massage.....
On the more pleasant smelling side of things, Bonnie did manage to find some canvas... shes got enuf to carpet the fucking floor, and enuf oil paint to paint the ceiling... so yeah.. with all that said I gots to jet..... hopefully the motion sickness pills coursing thorugh my veins will do the trick.. i'm hoping they're motino sickness pills.. i bought them off soem dodgey guy at the pier....
hahahah

Ferry Ride + Hang Over = Not great...

2005-12-07T19:56:00.001+13:00

The things we do for people we care about.... went on a ferry with bonnie over to Samui today..... only problem is, lately i've been prone to getting sea sicknes.. shudder...adding to that, i had one tooo many buckets last nite... which leads to one fuck load of a hangover... shudder..... consequently... rite at this point, i dont much care for Ms Bonnie Fraser at the momment.... hahahhaa didnt' see her holding my hair back when i was puking over the side of the ferry....
Ahhh well gud times, not looking foward to the ferry rite back though.. dont think i'll eat anything befor ei return to phangan...

It was quite funny yesterday, we went to the Main Town in Phagan, ThonG Sala, just to hunt down a skipping rope and hopefully some paints for bonnie (which we didnt' find, if we did, i probably wouldn't have my head over a thailand gutter today) .... It was pretty interesting, cause on the wya back , met this guy, who must hav ebeen 70 or soemthing.... or maybe a hundred.. who knows..but we got to talking, and I asked him how long he had been in thaialnd,he said 6 motnhs of every year he'll spend here.... so he had a pen in his pocket.. and i started to imagine that he woudl write his best selling novel here, and return to englad to get it puiblish or something..... anyway I asked him what he did with most of his time...
'Mostly get stoned...'
HAhahahhahah I nearly pissed my self on the bloody truck... apparently he comes to new zealand as well.. and rents a place in titirangi.. most likely smoking weed as well... lol....

Anyway... thats the story so far...

Buckets.....

2005-12-05T16:59:00.000+13:00

Its been rainning steadily for the last few days... still beats doing tech wrok though... lol or work for that matter....
Hit the local Club yesterday in our jandals... mmmm jandals are conidered appropriate foot ware here, so all those lenin bouncers can suck my balls... lol... Couldnt' belive the hangover I got the next day though... it was the cheapest one i'd ever had... even cheaper than going to the Nz Local Liquer and getting a 12 pack of beers and funneling them all back in one go...
One BUcket = 1 Hip Flash / Mixer / Ice = 100 baht = $3.70 x 3 = 11.10... (or there abouts) -shudder.....
Drank with the Loz, Tash, and Miles at Drop In Bar, (which is RITE next to our Local Cafe ==> Just to give ppl who know the place , how central our bungalow is ) Didn't end up getting home till ike 5 in the morning, only started drinking at 12:00 so it wasn't tooo bad... its quite weird cause no one actually goes out till round 12, or 1 in the morning...
We've settled into to our bungalow whichh we're baying 300 baht for, its a really nice one cause its very sheltered and private, while only being bout 5 minutes walk from teh central party beach, and its also got just the right ammount of shade and sun (so it wont get tooo hot when the sun comes out).... Only problem is , cause its been raining like a bitch here for a while, and the humidity is a little high, the woods been expanding, which is not a gud when the doors been slammed shut...
Sufffice to say i had to lower my self out of the window this morning as well as yesterday, which proves to be a bit of a missino when theres a 2 metre drop, lol (i'm just tryingt o make it sound bad... but it wasn't really that bad... )
Bonnies been missing her soccer a bit though, so we went out for a wee training session on the beach today, beach sprints, pushups, burpies, rah rah rah... it was pretty fun, especially when it started to rain..hahahah Figured at that point, if you actualyl care about getting wet, the rain is an issue, but if you dont, the rain is actually quite coool.....

Rain...

2005-12-03T23:13:00.000+13:00

Heres a blog 4 all the haters out there......
Pretty mch been chilling out in the rooms... I f inally understand why they call it monsoon season... rain rain rain... flooding everywhere lol... its not really just bad.. we saw the sun this morning and its not soo much gushing as it is drizzling....
To answer your questin ben.. haven't hit the Shakes yet... but mite do that later... bonnie been having security issues, if it isn't some crazy thai person whose gonna break in and steal our muffins, its a coconut thats gonna hit us on the head.... or the chickens.. maybe the tap water... perhaps its the mosquitos....ahhahahah god bless bonnie, and Propaganda...
We're actually in Phangan now... writing from that internet cafe we use to always use , remember opposite the Phangan Mafia store.. hahaha, scored a really sweeeet bungalow for 300 baht a nite.. double bed nd single bed... seeing as i'm the single one, i've managed to bag the double bed for my self... (well i hope its cause i'm single and not cause i'm fat....)
The Boat ride over here was an absolute shocker though.... It started off pretty calm... and we were on the top deck so as the engine fumes wouldn't kill us (WORSE IDEA EVER) It started off sweeet... then it became a 3 way tag team match been the ocean, the bags.. and us.... Everyone on the top deck put their bags in the middle.. but only 3 of us were lookin after them.... the boat i swear was at a 45 degee angle at one stage. and it was Pissing down... hahahh we survived though... seeing as i am Alex Cheong, king of the ocean.......

Super Cool Thai pants

Finally Hitting Ko Phangan....

2005-12-02T18:11:00.000+13:00

Wow the weather is starting to clear up... Woke up this morning and had Fresh fruit and yoghurt on the beach...was concidering a swim but we had to check out.. so we'll just go for a swim later on today when we get to Phangan... Soooo looking foward to it... and if the weathers shit, we'll just find a nice little cafe and wathc soem dvds...
I think bonnies gone a bit crazy though, she bought some thai pants last nite and spent about 20 minutes jumping up and down on her bed feeling her self up.. its quite weird, apparently they made her legs feel special.... I mean if she wanted her legs to feel special she could have just asked.. instead of spending 300 baht on somepants;) - this is a general invitiation for eveyrone by the way;)
We've also got quite profficient at bargainning, its kinda a team effort, I'll stand there pretending that i really want the bag, while bonnie wil be there telling me to 'lets look around'... with this tag team bargaining action, the person we're bartering with usually lowers the price themselves.. we got her bag down from 3500 baht, to 1700 baht... YEAH TEAM DESGIN BUM!!!

still alive.... and wet.......

2005-12-01T15:52:00.000+13:00

Wetness

2005-12-01T14:02:00.000+13:00

Dinner was awesome yesterday, bonnie and I found the coolest little seasfood restraunt.. had the best deep fried sweet chilli snapper....mmm came with a free saladbar as well... yummy... only problem was.. that half way though dinner it started to rain... little rain at first, then BIG FUCK off Drops of Pain that just kept coming and coming (most ladies who have had the cheong can relate to this phenomenon) but yeah it just didn't stop.. and we were half way across the island.. (well it felt like it)... so after bout running for bout 1k down a street in jandals after dinner... we were throughly soaked..... its the morning rite now and its still just dribbling alittle... but On the brighter side of things, we only ended up spedning 500 baht for a kick ass meal.. mmm snapper.....and nightime wetness... yay!
Think we mite be heading to Phagan to day if the weather gets a little better, not sure if i wanna really go tramping around in the rain... but i guess we'll see.. apart from the slight 'downpour' the holidays been awesome.. think i'm gonna keep the blooging to once every 3 days, everythign gonna step down a gear i think... specially wen we hit Phangan... mmmmmmmmmmm beaches... mushrooms..... beeeeeer....
While we're on the subject of mind altering substances... we've already been offered weed and ecstacy 5 times.. and that was just on our first walk on the beach (isn't thailand great) hahahahaha THey were alittle more subtle then previous attempts, as they all had dark glasses on, and would tkae them off to prove that they were just stoned of they're tits 'look we're on them tooo...' (said with a nasty thai accent)..... But like i said, they were subtle unlike a previous experience when someone rocked up to us while we were having dinner and ask if we wanted coke (sniff)... we just thought he had the flu or somehting though....
Wow.... jjust chekd the accomdations and aparently we have another day left.. HOW coool IS THAT!!!! We had free breakfast this morning as well.. buffet breakfast kicks ass.. .. bacon.... fried egs if you order them... mmmmmmm everything just seams to be working out... cept of the rain.. but that can normally be overlooked.. if ya just chilling out in a cafe and paying2 dolalrs drink;)
WE're thinking of getting some jet skis and motoring aroudn on them for oa bit.. shoudl onyl cos tlike 20 dollars nzd for that... mmmmm jetskis.. YAY!!
This holidays turning out to be great!!!!

Internet Cafes sucks balls.....

2005-11-30T20:10:00.000+13:00

So i'm currently at an internet cafe, some gooks jsut been on this computer and can't read anythingn thats onthe computer, so i'm not sure if this post is even gonna get out... owell...
ANy whoooo carrying on with the last bit of shit i was writing..
IT was quite funny cause while i was writing that last blog, apperneltly the plane was boarding, thus the abrubt ending....
Met some really awesome people on the tour yeterday, one english man, and some australians, ended up having an italian dinner and only paying 10 dolars for it (pizza/desert/drinks) yummmmy.. Its quite funny cause bonnie hast gotten the asian el 'cheapo' bug as well... i mean she was bargning over the difference of 10 baht for a skirt (3 Nz Cents), ahhh the fun of bargaining..

At the airport....

2005-11-30T14:22:00.000+13:00

Finally at the airport... bout to hit Samui.... How fucking hectic is Bangkok... theres these crazy native chicks who follow you with theses wooden frogs... (yeah i'm gonna have to explain tht one when i gt back...)
Really stoked with the accomodation we got in Bangkok though, total fluke, we got on to Khaosan Rd, which is apparently the back packer centre of Bangkok and also featured in the Movie (the beach, starring Leonardo Di Caprio) for those who dont know who he is... he's the pretty Faggot Movie star that has similar traits to rick (skinny, white, feminin) and my couzin ben;)
Anyway so on arrival, it was bout 2am at nite or someshit, and everybody on the road was either maggoted, or they couldn't speak english, not to mentino the multitude of dogey thai gurls/boys that i would not talk to.... , so ther was no asking for directions to anyone... in the end we found our Rooms... after walking down a dark black alley.. with this dodgey look rastafarian thai guy (mmmmmmm we couldnt' see his face) inthe mornign the black alley wasn't sooo bad.. but for a first impression.. well... suffice to say i had to clean my pants when i got to the room..
The next day was pretty sweeet.. just road round on the tuk tuks.. and bougth shit.. as ya do.. but the last day in Bangkok was the best.. we went to PAT TIGERS!!!! Sounds realyl touristy.. but i'm guessing that will be the last time i'll ever willingly go that close to a tiger..
Bonnies been an absolute crackup, i've never been traveling with soemone who shits themselves at the sight of:

Tap Water
Chicken
Salad ?!?!?!?!?
& Ice (that may be made from tap water)

Its sooo cute she actually bought one of thoe 3m Face masks. hahahah! The real challenge is trying to get her put it on though.... Her bargaining skills have also increase tenfold.. since accepting 80 baht for some dogey silk print of some guy, she's managed to haggle a skirt from 250, down to 80 baht... (i'm guessing she still got ripped off... but hey.... you can't argues with $1 nzd for a skirt;)
hahahahha

Oh yeah got a new cell fone +6668807339 ..... shit gotta gotta board
ccatcha..
talk later

Finally Made It

2005-11-30T05:02:00.000+13:00

Dont' have tooo long to create this post.. suffice to say that we missed our 'planned' flite in sydney, got on the next flite ot bangkok which was ... like 45 minutes later, soo it wasn't toooo bad.... Had a good look around the next day.. and then went to pat tigers today, hahahahah .. anyway when i get more time i'll post a bit more.. should be on koh somui when that happens.. are the ultimate relax... mmmmm

The Night Before

2005-11-26T20:53:00.000+13:00

Wow.. its been one year since Thailand last year, and its finally time to return... exciting stuff...
Had my final year exhibition yesterday as well.. its kinda of surreal, everythigns been happening so quickly.. and its really not that long till i leave for thailand, dont think i 'll be able to sleep tonite..
IT was kinda sad last nite as well, as much as I've dislikied Unitec, and the bullshit that i've done there for the last 4 yearsm i think i'm actually gonna really miss the place.. but i guess its time fora change.. or the real world.. either way, before the real wold comes crashign down on top of me, i think i'm gonna chillax in thailand for a few motnhs...
Alrite with all that said.. take care and i'll see if this 'blogging; thing will last'
Alex
