malaysia so far

hello - crappy comp wont let me put pics up. so its just my boring writing afraid.

since last blog the fellas and i went crazy golfing (luke won and thought he was suddenly jesus), fishing (sean caught the most, including some garbage and a small bush), and went to the full moon party which luke, unsprisingly, slept mostly through having drank too much, again.

they caught a plane to oz next day whilst i slept on the bus to malaysia. saw another british colonial town (if i ve learnt anything from my travels is that the british really did own alot of the world in the 'olden days') called georgetown named after king george the (insert appropiate number if you know, i forget, 5th i think, possible FACTOID for you dame). then went to the cameron highlands and did some trekking which was ace as i met alot of friendly people there. after a few days went to tamen negara which is amazing. its malaysia's national park. proper jungle. hiked for 6 hours and slept in the jungle for 2 nights. the massive rats are very freindly. they dont ask b4 sharing your food. but then we dont warn them b4 smaking them with a broom handle. saw some massive birds the size of dinosaurs aswell. have just left there and currently waiting for the train to the perenthian islands. more beaches.

bye now, i'll try and put some pics up soon. xox

im the filling

okey dokey. my first proper blog without dame. im so jealous of him going back home. jumpers, marmite, bangers and mash etc...

on the day dame left me i really didnt know what to do with myself. so i slept, pretty much the whole day and night. i was quite sad... : (

the next day i moved to another beach where there was a party that night. i really had to force myself to go as i didnt wanna be like the loser turning up to a party on my own. billy nomates. however, meeting people was easier than i thought. after a few drinks, 'hellos', and 'how are you's?' everybody becomes your friend. a few days after i went to the thailands 2nd most famous party - the half moon party - and again had a great time.

then yesterday i backtracked on myself to ko samui and met up with my old buddies from london! we had a good catch up (they mainly commented on how dark i was, i mainly commented on how fat they become) and we celebrated by going to a 'all u can eat' barbecue meat feast, i then won 1000 baht off 'em playing poker - suckers. today we lazed around the beach doing nothing, though i was glued to the NME that they had bought over from england. why hasnt anyone murdered those kasabian lot yet?

at this very moment in time the fellas have gone to watch thai boxing (dame and i have seen it already). they'll gimme a call when its over and then they wanna go for more drinks. at this rate i'll have no money left, i'll just have to make sure we play poker everynight.
