Thailand/KL/Australia
WOW its been so long since i last blogged i have done so much but have also forgotten more but will do my best to not leave anything out =]
Thailand
i think i was in kho phi phi a very small island all about drinking and tattoos. i was only there for three days and i was drunk throughout but still got around to doing stuff. i found a place to stay called the rock, where on the wall was writing one of may i read was YOU LOST THE GAME. not happy tbf. another read Dursley mandem, i just wanna know how wrote that!! within an hour i was booked on a long tail boat to monkey beach/Maya bay (where the beach was filmed) and a small cove where we snorkelled for an hour. while snorkelling i saw a huge jelly fish about twice the size of a football and loads of puffer fish. Maya bay was nice so different to the film and very busy because of it. After the boat trip i showered, ate and went to watch a mury thi fight with a difference anyone can fight. anyone that enters gets a bucket hahaha. when i was watching the fight i met up with the welsh lot i met in krabbi two days earlier. we went to the beach and got some drinks on i had to have and early night tho as i was up at 6:30 of three dive the next day. i think i left the beach at half 3. woke up drunk and just made it to the boat. fell asleep on the boat ride out so got another hour sleep :D. the dives were totally different to kho tao, visability was shorter maybe 5-10m but seen some amazing fish a turtle and two sea horses. after diving i showered and ate and headed back to the dive centre to chat and go out drinking with the dive masters, ended up meeting a bird at the bar and heading to the beach :) another early night as i was up for 8 for climbing i think i got to sleep at about 5 ish. climbing was cool looking over kho phi phi without a hangover made it so much better :). after climbing i met up the girl for some lunch and then caught my ferry back to krabbi witch takes me to my next chapter KL.
KL
Kuala lumpa where im catching my flight to my next chapter :). i took a 10 hour bus ride from krabbi via hat yi, what a fuck up that trip was on one bus on another bus to be dropped off without a ticket and no bus. a bus came about an hour later and finally got going to KL on the bus i met a guy (cant remember his name) we talked and got on quite well so when we arrived in KL at half five we spent half an hour looking for my hostel and dropped my bag off at my hostel and went on a tour of KL looking at sky scrapers and the monkey temple and a bit of shopping :). my mate left of the air port at 6 pm i went out for some dinner the mane thing in KL that i can remember is the underground being so cheap. i sent a few hours on the computer sorting out shit for Australia after that i went up top to the roof bar and blagged the bar man in to giving me two free drinks :D got chatting with two girls also from England who were heading up to Thailand from Singapore they were off out later and invited me to join but the lack of sleep the night before and walking round KL all day i had to decline. my flight left KL airport at 8:45 witch ment i had to get up at half 5 to catch the first train to the main train station where i caught a bus to the terminal.
Australia
As i landed in Perth i was truly shitting it. not because of the fight but because of entry conditions. you MUST have $5000 in the bank! i had just $1000 to my name. luckily i wasn’t checked :). walking trough customs i kept thinking of border force and border control both i have watched many an episode. thinking to myself it was going to be me. gate after gate, check after check waiting in the x ray cue i was called over to the dog squad witch i didn’t mind because i knew i was clean and the cue was empty :D. first thing i did in the airport was look how long it would take to get to northbridge (central Perth) where all the backpackers go. it wasn’t long about 20 minuets by bus it cost me $18 and coming from Thailand and Bali i nearly cried. the first and only hostel i booked it to was called the shiralee backpackers and looking back i don’t know how i suck it out there for so long (you’ll soon see). when i first arrived there was two Canadian girls and loads of Irish im not even joking there was like 20 Irish living there, a few other people too. i arrived on the 21st of December the run up to Christmas was surreal and i didn’t know what to expect where back home it would be icy and maybe some snow, it was 35-40 degrees out the first two days i didn’t really do much had a look around the city and tried to get to know people. plan for xmas day was a typical Ozzie xmas BBQ on the beach. so unreal to me that it didn’t really feel like xmas just a fancy dress BBQ lol. over the next 2-5 days a few of the Irish got in to fights over girls and piss (beer). the Canadian girls moved out with two Irish guys one of witch didn’t pay his way. Ended up sleeping back at the shiralee without the owner knowing, until he was found by the owner one morning sleeping on the sofa. we had the police out after a Perth bloke decided to go a bit mental seemed okay to start with strange but okay. a few hours later and a bottle of wine later hew was smashing cups and plates on the floor and singing “i’m going to kill all the backpackers”. that was it a couple of us told him to shut and get the hell out of the hostel, witch he didn’t take to kindly to. through his mobile across the kitchen witch smashed in to 50 pieces nearly hitting a girl in the face 3 of us pinned him down and took him out side and left him out there he came running back in me and an Irish feller blocked the door way so he couldn’t enter. he then took his shoes off throwing one at us and then smashing a window with the other in the process cutting his finger open. the police took ages to arrive. when they did the took statements and took him to hospital. new years eve, i bought myself a carton of strong bow and a bottle of tequila. the plan was to go down to the foreshore and watch the fireworks. i think the drinking started after breakfast must have been about half ten by 8 o clock i was quite drunk and hadn’t even started the tequila at half 10 we started our walk to the river only an hours walk but there was a few of us and we were all drunk :D. on the walk down i opened my tequila think i gave one shot to my French mate and the rest was mine. we got to the river at about 11:45 and just sat and chatted then the count down began 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and in the sky…. nothing, they were going off the other side of Perth and we didn’t have a clue. that was the night the Irish tool who didn’t like to pay for anything, warned me off the hostel owners daughter. hahahaha. we then left the foreshore for the dock about 3k away. don’t really know much from there on in, lost everybody, got back after everybody and found my way to my hostel and my own bed somehow. woke up in the morning with a killer hangover!!! in the night while everyone was out someone had come in and taken stuff out of the rooms laptops, Ipods that sort of thing. that night all hell was to break lose. once again everyone was drinking, but not me :). an Irish bloke an a Ukrainian bloke got arguing over a fag next thing i new they were going at it. then it died down 10 minuets later Ukrainian bloke comes in with two bottles smashes them on the floor and goes at Nole after we get the bottles of him and separate them and try and calm them down the Ukrainian bloke comes back at him with a wine bottle they fall on to the sofa and the Ukrainian bloke ends up cutting himself, now he’s got a 6-8 inch slice up his fore arm and pissing blood all over the place this time the police are here within 5 minuets again statements were taken and the clean up began. very good start to the new year not. i think on the 5th or the 6th i was really ill i spent 2 days in bed not sleeping, really hot but shivering i didn’t even eat. when i was better it was time to really start an look for a job although i had looked it wasn’t a real look. anyway after looking i found a job in Welshpool didn’t really get told what i would be doing just that i needed to go for an induction and have a drug and alcohol test witch i did both on the Friday and then started on Monday 16th of jan. i borrowed a car for the first three weeks thanks to Garry an old Irish bloke. in return i bought him a bottle of JD. on the 25th of Jan me and my French mate went and seen Andy C live in metro city witch was a really good night nearly knocked one bloke out at one point but he fucked off after i told him to do one. the next day was a bank holiday (Australia day) yes the have to have the day off to drink piss and celebrate being Australian. drinking piss was on my agenda and watching the fireworks too this time we made sure they were at the foreshore and the time was 9 pm. we left at about 8 as we left i heard fireworks and saw some didn’t think anything of it say to one of the guys i think we have missed them again :/ as we got to the river it ended good ending though :). me and the French guy walked home as we had work on the Friday walking back a different way we came across a circus and performing acts we sat and watched a woman with a hula hoop for ages. as we left i saw the cops one asked me what i had i my cup i said water(was really goon(wine). he didnt believe me and started over towards me the French guy said skull it as i drank most of it the copper grabbed me spilling the rest on the floor. they then went on to try and arrest me for drinking in the street but let me off with a $200 fine, CUNTS. on the 5th of Feb. i moved in to my own place in Kenwick its 7k from work. i bought a bike off of gumtree and now bike to work. it took a bit of getting use to again but now its a walk in the park. i work as a TA heavy duty fitter. mostly just fit fire extinguishers, beacons, wheel chocks and tool boxes to construction and mining equipment then clean it up ready for transport. on Monday i will have been working for Hitachi for 3 and a half months while i have been working for them i have learn a few things mostly how to drive big machinery like 50 ton ADT (articulated dump truck), excavators from 1.7 ton to 70 ton skid steers and different types of road grader. my job is mostly dogs body work but im getting $32 (£22)an hour so can’t complain that much. about a month ago i went up to Jurien bay with two of my house mates, we rented a 4x4 and went camping, off-roadin,fishing and skydiving oh and drank a loada piss. defiantly want to sky dive again!! one weekend we went to Mandura fishing witch ended up in just drinking and beating the shit out of Justin although i did save him from drowning. that night we all got raped by sand flies, witch is not a fun experience. last Saturday night we went out to the casino to watch the football and put a bet on(i don’t like football and don’t bet unless i know i going to win) only really went because i have never been before, will probably go again there is a lot of posh totty. i’m working 50+ hours a week and saving a Jew. i have to start to think about my second year visa witch means i have to work on a farm of pick fruit or vegetables.
well i have been writing this for over 4 hours and if you are still reading this then congratulations you deserve a gold star!! as i said at the start i will not post everyday like Thailand because i am mostly just working and no one wants to know that i do the same shit everyday. i know i have missed some things out but my brain is hurting now…
