New Years Eve and Day!
Would just like to say Happy New Year to you all, and thanks loads for all the emails and blog/facebook messages - its really great to hear from you all and wish i could email all individually! glad you are still hanging on in there on my blogger and haven't forgotten me quite yet ha ha. i guess the scent lingers on still...........good to hear from me bruvver and Sam too!
Had a good day, went to blog up about Christmas and met up with Belinda at the internet place, we went for a coffee and a gab, then i went back to blog. Arranged to meet Belinda at 5 to go to the local hairdressers/beauty place, Rabbit's, for a hair do and pedicure. We were actually in there for about 3 hours, as it was pretty busy and we had to wait! i had a wash and blow dry and pedicure and Belinda had a haircut and blow dry. Was very nice, but we missed the pre (thai) party party at the place where we normally have our lunches from that Lot (Roj) works at in Thong Sala.
We got to Coco
bar to meet the gang that we were planning to go to the Haad Rin New Years Eve party with, the usual suspects! The funny thing was, that we discovered about 7 of us had gone to have our hair cut/blow dried or coloured that day! boys and girls alike, it was a bit spooky! all wanting to look our best to see in the new year ha ha. We had a couple of sang soms at Coco and then piled into 3 taxis for the hair raising ride up the hills of Haad Rin to the party. There was a big gang of us and Sheena had a plan of us all holding hands to get to a spot on the beach through the crowd. We had taken 3 bottles of sparkly wine with us to pop and Simon had his cigar at the ready. However, the plan was shortlived when Dan failed to hold anybody's hand behind the 3 of us cus he was too busy holding his bucket and the 4 of us (me sheen simon and dan) got separated from the rest! we lost Jane and Leanne who apparently left at 2.30am being very drunk before
we even left! I was very sensible and didnt drink too much before we got there and then only had one bucket. So anyway, it was really really busy and the beach was quite small with the tide in, so very crowded and you ended up paddling through the sea a fair bit, not great as everyone piddles in it. A man was also kindly sick next to me and splashed my legs with that too.
Yes, anyway, we lost our gang but had a good giggle the four of us and saw the new year in together with some sparkly stuff and a dance to simons favourite drum and bass.
Later on, as we wandered down the beach towards mellow mountain with the mushroom shakes, i found a speaker at the reggae bar which played an AC/DC album - bargain! i was very happy and danced around to that til it finished and then we continued dancing to the reggae. There was a man in an indian chief headdress and i think he must have done a rain dance cus at some point there was a downpour and all the power went off for a bit. We
ran for cover and then it blew over after a bit and it all started up again!
the sun came up and at 7 am ish our Kit phoned both me and sheena to say happy new year. Good old kitster - cheers mate! was great to hear your voice altho i was totally poo faced so not sure i made much sense ha ha.
so, we got home around half 7 and 8 am, and slept til 2pm ish, then Belinda came round and we toddled off to coco for some toasties! then we decided to go to the new French restaurant/boulangerie/cafe cus next to our house, as they have a massive TV screen with DVD and the biggest comfiest sofas and big bed to snuggle out on round the screen, and the best fresh coffee and shakes and anything else you might want! run by our french neighbour Franck, (pronounced Fronk!). Me, Sheena, Belinda and Johnathan watched a hilarious film called "knocked up" - really really funny, watch it if you can! we had coffee and i had a banana and coconut shake as well to replenish my vitamins - yummy. We took books as well
and lay there monging for hours, it was great, a really perfect chilled day following a crazy party night.
So at half 7 we met again at Coco for dinner, Jane and Leanne are leaving tomorrow, sob, so we had dinner with them and ive popped out to email and then going back.
My photos are pretty pants so will get some better ones off sheena at some point and upload em!
So - there's me new year shenanigans, 2008 here we come!
thankfully i dont have to be in work tomorrow til 10am, lie in.
Happy New Year everyone, lots a luv - smelly xxxx
