New Year - New Country - New LIFE!!


well well well...

im currently sitting here in a place called Clapham Common - possible spelt wrong, in london... FINALLY!! its been an insane new year so far...

spent some time up at the parents for a few weeks, little miss sugs and an exchange student from vietnam came n crashed for a week :P spent lots of time with ads n saw old friends and did the big boodbye's! back 2 syders for the mad 12hour drinking binge with my best mates! then a plane ride to thailand with mum - that was in a world, hell... 3hours sleep and still drunk do not equal a nice comfy ride out of the country...

thailand was awsome! bangkok the first couple of days was intense - its like sydney on ice! iv never seen or been in anything like it... i got pretty sick from all the pollution and the air-con everywhere... i got a freaking cold in thailand! only me!! then we hit Koh-Chang... amazing!!

4 days of elephant trecking, snorkling off islands, relaxing, massages, shopping, dinners out oh and thai whisky - woot woot! bring me a capriana anytime baby!! we flew back 2 bangkok n did a bit more shopping, hit this massive big 10thousand people nite market bazar thing - again, so intense!!

friday the 25th packed my bags and said bye to mummy at the airport - so so hard... got on the thai airways plane all alone and slept pretty much the whole way to london as i had three seats to myself (mum says thatd thanks 2 the holy water we got sprinkled on us in the temple in bangkok but i dunno.....)

arrived at the airport, collected bags n went through customs/immigration etc and then like magic *poof* there was michael :) ok so maybe not so magic as it was pre organised but still :P came home and saw marky mark too!! met other crazy kiwi flatmates! on sat the boy took me around london for a wee bit... saw big ben and the london eye and the river and Westminster abbey? something like that... my head was still spinning from the realisation that i was actually in london and i didnt have a proper jacket so we went home!

good old sharpy n his flatie came over, so them 2, marky, michael n me went 2 um... somewhere... clapham junction? anyways we met up with flemming and rachael and her mate lib - aaaaaahh trip down memory lane!! it was so weird cuz i remember saying bye to them one at a time over the last year and then there they all were infront of me.... we had a few drinks at an old man pub and then went next door 2 the slug and had a few more... then we went out to sum other place that required a substantial bustrip... many many aussies out that did me proud with their total drunken behaviour :) more drinks, then we hit a walkabout in shepards bush?? stayed for a wee bit, met wat seemed 2 b hundreds of kiwi's (the boys mates) but infact only seem 2 b a wee portion of the total friends group..... *sigh* so many nnew names to remember!!

caught another lengthy bus trip and had my 1st maca's in london... they have a weird nite menu and wont serve single cheeseburgers... not sure how i feel about this, but on the plus side they had this awsome deal of 20 nuggets for like £5 - how exiting! TINE YOU AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HEAVEN :)

um... yesterday the boy had 2 go into the office... on a sunday... poo... happens when you are in an 'important job' or so i imagine... every1 is at work 2day from the house, hence why i left...

london tv is er, interesting... i just cant take them seriosuly with their accents.. i cleaned the house for about 3hours.., kitchen lounge, bathroom... and unpacked my bags a bit!! need 2 hit the supermarket now actually for more supplies... brought a jug yesterday so u can have cups of tea - thats my housewarming present :) ahaahahaha

well i beta head home... i have food shoppin 2 do - i have 2 pick sumthing and cook it for dinner... so this may well be my last ever blog as i may kill michael n i 2nite with my lack-of-cooking skills....

take care - miss you ALL!!

love the little aussie adventurer :)
