Today we visited the Roker's from Essex. We are ancestors of Charles Roker from around 1790. We met Michael, Albert, Robert, Tom, Louise, Georgia who are all Rokers or descendents of Charles Roker. We had a great time and went to fish and chips and a carnival with them. Cheers Max [View Full Entry]

We leave tomorrow!! Thought i better write a quick passage just to remind people. I quit my job last week and have had a week off to prepare/be bored at home. Everything is packed and ready to go..it's a very tight squeeze trying to get everything in one backpack. Since the last blog we've been busy getting all our visas. There were no real issues, the Russian ones involved a lot of queing and a feeling of being interrogated once inside the embassy but all in all were not as difficult to get as i'd first feared. Next up was the [View Full Entry]

So have decided to write sumfink into my blog. Now before i start if u like good grammar and all that rubbish, then i would advise not reading this or probably any of my entries here on. But if you are looking to see exactly how I am feeling over different parts of my trip (with pictures of course) then please read on and enjoy the many entries I will eventually make. So lets start with my intro its now 2 weeks till I go away and I have one more day at work. Thats it one more day, thats scary. [View Full Entry]

Times ticking down!!! The trips slowly coming together and yet still so much to do. The flat's being flat-packed, the packing being packed and what was our home is slowly being turned back in to its rented shell. There's an orange haze over Buckhurst Hill, not sure if it's the sun going down or the orange WAG tanned wannabes coming out to find their football trendy wannabes, with their plastic body parts and plastic personalities it’s a marriage made by airfix, nope, it’s too bright for the sun. I think we might even miss Buckhurst Hill in a funny “I’ve got [View Full Entry]

Tommorrow, early morning, i depart the UK for the somewhat more tropical climate of malaysia. Leaving the chavs and wags of england! A 48 hour journey that will take me from heathrow to bangkok. Then from bangkok to kuala lumpur, and then onto kota kinabalu in the borneo province of sabah. Fully stocked up by £30 of cheapness spent down my local primark! Clothes fit for a king! Ready for the mosquitoes, bearded pigs, angry ants and oranguatans! I land at kota kinabalu practically at midnight on the 12th. On the 13th i already have my first piece of itinery planned.

Friday night we turned into Mexicans. Wayne sported a sombrero and poncho whilst I turned cow girl. It was Steve’s 40th birthday. We headed over with a bowl of veggie chilli. A few drinks later and Nisa had mounted the piñata and wouldn’t let it go! It was a lovely chilled out evening. Saturday we transformed into murder mystery characters. I was an archaeologist, Wayne a ventriloquist. Neil had gone all out with a beard and turned into Sigmond Fraud very funny. Everyone really looked great and we had a fab time. Lots of yummy food thanks to Suzanne. The chocolate [View Full Entry]
