finally

woo hoo, bob has invited me on to my own blog !!! cheers dude!

so then, firstly a big thank you to everyone for the excellent shenanigans on my last weekend, couldn't have been better - the finale in the arts club had me grinning all night!! lovely

things here are superb, i met justine in singapore no probs and we stayed in a gorge little place called sleepy sams in the arab quarter - had a tourist singapore sling in raffles (had to be done) and kicked off our asian food tour with some lovely chinese food - covered in chillis of course

then we dodged on to malaysia, as yer do, and went to the tiomen isles - they filmed south pacific there the beaches are gorge - the first in a long line of 'ooooooh, this is just like paradise this is' comments - really need to stop saying this, we sound like shirly valentine,

so then, justine managed to do a dive there, and i set off on intrepid trek to monkey beach - one hour later, im still at the start of the trek cos i was too scared to go through the foliage (leech fear!). id even but long sleeves on, trousers, and had a big stick - then i met some ozzies in shorts and vests doing the trek so hooked up with them

moneky beach was cool, but went swimming and the monekys appeared from nowhere and took a strong interest in our bags - not sure 'a monkey stole my passport' would work at immigration though

annways, spent a few days there then went to cheratin for a bit, pretty quiet there but met some funny locals for an afternoon of beers and singing - then we headed on to the jungle

i was sooo lookin forward to the jungle trip but the old tooth started playing up and we had to leave - i was seriously tempted to use my swiss army knife to remove the bugger at 3am - but opted to wait for the dentist - 2 hours and 35 quid later - ive had fullroot canal treatment and am off on my merry way - sorted!

so from there, and via a few dodgy border towns we made it to ko tao in thailand (another.' oooooh, paradise 'moment) - rougest crossing ever - loads of people puking, but i just chugged a few 6am tinnies of chang beer to calm the nerves and was fine, actually quite enjoyed it - theres a lesson there i think :-)

so we met up with becky and chris and celebrated justines birthtday in style, found a lovely groovy bar/restaruant and loved it so much we stayed in the same spot until they kicked us out at 2am - a full on food/cocktail/beers sessions for 8 hours - 50 quid between us all - brilliant!

so we heading off the kao sok national park soon - found a place last time with treehouse accomm so gonna try get one of those, and then we off to the west and may try and learn to dive there if i can get over my fear of strange things in the sea -

okkeee, i'll stop waffling now - will try stick some pics up soon - love to hear any goss from people, feel free to post here - nice way to stay in touch

miss you alll, byeeeeeeeeeeeee
