This morning’s training was a killer, my muscles had not recovered from sat’s training and I was feeling the drudgery of this previous lessons… my muscles just refused to perform. During my run halfway I felt like a shit coming, stopped at a nearby kopitiam to take a dump. If this were s’pore, the uncle wld have made soooooooo much noise…. Early morning dnt give business, give only shit….lol. these thai chaps are really friendly… As I said, training was a killer. All I did was just to further punish my shins. During intervals I was doing nothing but rubbing boxing liniment against my shins and thighs, much to the amusement of the trainers. During kick pad phase, I learnt a great deal, these trainers are so much more forthcoming and analytical about boxing than the ... read more

After a few days in Bangkok we flew down to Koh Samui for a few days of relaxation by the beach. We arrived very early in the morning (about 7.30am!) and headed straight to the beach to get a good position and lounge chairs. Turns out there was no need to rush, no one gets started in Samui before 10.30am. We spent the first morning sunning ourselves and taking swims in the ocean. We ate lunch at a beach restuarant, munching down thai food with our toes in the beach, not a bad way to eat. After lunch we had a massage, the massage place was open air, right on the beach, facing the ocean, it wasn't hard to relax. That night we went to yet another beach restuarant, feet in the sand, stars in the ... read more

Hello cats, Thanks again for all your coments, keep umm coming. Well we've been busy bunnies since are last chat. Thea passed her open water diving course so she can now dive anywhere in th world to 18meters. Well done Thea..... The evening thea finished diving we hopped onto a boat heading for Ko Pha Ngan for the legendary Full Moon Party. We went over with this real funny Aussie bloke called Brentan who made friends with people so quickly we ended up with a little party gang before we even got to the party. Pics below, such a blast. After recovering we went to Ko Samui to chill out for Theas last 3 days. We booked into the sweetest hotel, massive room with a remote control that controlled everything, lights air con, TV, Thea (just ... read more

Hey everybody, I finally made it here. let me tell you after the motorcycle taxi I took in the city im glad im alive. They were so careless it was great. He squeezes in between cars, on the sidewalk, on the wrong side of the road. I really thought I was gonna die. It was awesome. I for a brief moment wanted a motorcycle of my own. (Still your heart Jordy..) Then I realized I couldnt drive liek that in Toronto, and I forgot all about it. Plus I love my bycycle. We drove all night but were finally here. While everyone else was sleeping I enjoyed the beach. By enjoyed I mean burned!!! All over. It really hurts. The funny thing is between me and Natalie Im the only one who wears sunscreen and Im ... read more

Been in Koh Samui now for the past few days. Have been enjoying some relaxation on the beach and going out and about in Chaweng. We decided to do some of the East Coast before heading to Cambodia, as we fancied a break from the cities for a while. Really glad that we did as we've had a great time here. Nothing too exciting to report really, as we have quite literally been chilling out on the beach since arriving. We're staying in Chaweng in a hut positioned on the beach front. Very basic but all that you need with such a lovely beach view outside the front door. A cold shower though, which was actually quite a relief from the humidity. Since being here we have been eaten alive by mosquitos and sand flies- have ... read more
