30 Days and counting.....

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

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;)

Hey all...
We're at Paradise Bungalows - p7, p8, p9, p10
Turn Right at Chicken Corner';)

SWEEEEEET safe journeys everyone! And yeah Shit hits the fan, get to Paradise Bungalows and Ask for Alex;)

Destination: Koh Phangan

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)

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.
