One Reservation for the Mentalist Asylum, lah?
Went out on the weekend and got steamin' and embarressed meself infront of my fellow teachers, bloody eeeeevil wine. never again, lah. and i mean it this time. The nightclub we went to was marginally better than the last one i went to in KL (that just played rubbish trancey-type music and was full of japanese youngsters, who dance in a very strange way: they dance anywhere and everywhere in the nightclub: on the stairs, next to tables, outside the toilets, in the toilets, it was dead wierd, cos in england we only dance on the dancefloor don't we? and we usually dance in groups facing eachother, or the DJ, but in this club they danced alone all over the place!) anyway this club was much better than that one, i think. can't remember what music it was or what it looked like but i can remember it was very busy which is always a good sign innit?
Well, i've nearly finished now, lah. just a week to go and then off to sunnier climes, it's been dead nice here lately, not too hot and the occasional massif thunderstorm where it sounds like the sky's gonna cave in ontop of you and everyone runs round like chicken licken.
i'm being observed by my boss again tomorrow so wish me luck, lah? not doing owt remotely complicated in the lesson, a nice sedate conversational practice session with no running around, no banging of heads into walls, no grandma or the like. Then there's only one week left and i'm off!
That's about enough work for me.
Thanks for the memories.
See ya!
I'm thinking i'll like this teaching life you know, 2 months working, 1 travelling, 2 working, 1 travelling etc, etc.
So just another coupla weeks and i'll be partying hard on koh Pha-ngan and i can't wait, mem! booked me flight to Phucket as i can't be arsed to go on the bus even tho it'd probably cost, like 5p lah, have had enough of bloody buses. Thought i'd better go back to the west coast, just to show support for thailand's tourist industry after the tsunami, i'm still going to be bricking it every time there's loud wave breaking on shore tho...
"han! look, oh my god, does that look like the crest of a wave out there?"
"no katy, that's a boat"
"oh, ok"...
"han!! oh my god what's that??? is that a massive wave?"
"no katy, that's an island"
"oh yeah"...
"oh fuck han what's that out there? can you see? it's coming towards us, oh god RUN!"
"thats a bloody airplane, for the love of god shut up!"
"okay then."
We're gonna try and catch a full moon party after that, this is what it says about them:
"There are about 10,000 people every month at this Koh Phangan beach party. It is of course known as the Full Moon Party. International and Thai DJ's are making the crowd go wild. Paint yourself in UV colors and let your body loose control. The DJ's play all kinds of music; techno, trance, goa, drum n' bass, dub, reggae, commercial hits, house etc."
woo-hoo!! drum n bass!!! nice one bruvva! i'm gonna get completely MARACKERED, lah!! no but, yeah but, apparently every month the mentalist asylum nearby gets over-crowded cos ferangs (that's the local thai name for tourists) drink one too many "special" milkshakes and go a bit loopy!! hee hee!! oh man, i can't wait! hope there's a full moon while we're there, but apparently there are half moon parties which are also highly recommended... i'm not really arsed what shape the moon is as long as there's cool people and music and the chance to get messy on a beach til sunrise!
Well, gotta go plan my lesson now. Oh god, I can't wait til this is all over...
(- this is the stock phrase used by all the teachers here on most mornings)
You stay classy United Kingdom,
p.s. i've noticed there's the coolest way of speaking in malasia, lah. Here every sentence is followed by a 'lah', and 'mem' is also pretty popular. As you may have noticed I have now adopted this seeing as i'm too lazy to learn a whole nother language, lah? i'm just gonna adopt bits of other ones and tag them onto the end of me speech, lah?

you are one god damn freak, lah?????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shit - i spelt me name wrong!
he he he, pot, kettle, black??!!
how did you get on in your teaching assessment ? lah what did your teachers and colleagues think when you got bladdered ? how much money have you saved ? mem, 2 on 1 off? whats han going to do ?how long will you be in england for ? 1 month? come on girl we want some answers !!
eh up katy!
(i'm not anonymous, but it wouldn't let me sign in, it's sophie!) you must be about finished by now, i presume, and are heading off to the land of full moon parties! are things ok in thailand, or has the coast been evacuated?, hope everything is ok.
nothing is happening here and the weather is disgusting so i have sampling the delights of weymouths night life! you should be proud, i woke on saturday covered in mysterious cuts and bruises! my memory began to reveal little snippets from the night before, like the bin jumping competion and an incredibly deep conversation with a 50 year old man called gordon! i can't wait till you get back so you can show me how it's really done!
am getting really excited about v now, have you and han got tents or anything? any way corrie is on soon so i'd best be off,lah.
hey sophers! things are fine in thailand i hope, no warnings or owt so it should be fine, i fly tomorrow.
sounds like you don't need me to show you how it's done! last of the big time drinkers aye?? did you win the bin jumping cometition? ahhh what fun, it's progressed a bit since my days, back then it was simple trolley pushing races, you should try it, a lot easier to manouver when drunk see, cos they've got wheels and stuff, although the increased velocity leads to an increase in cuts and bruises the next day for the person within the trolley when it comes off the kerb! i sense the force of the binge drinking is strong in you young one, beware the dark side tho, and use your drinking power to spread only love and hugs, follow not the path of violence and darkness, but the path of falling over and spraffing shyte with strangers!
no, haven't got a tent for v, not planning on sleeping much tho!
see ya soon
