Monsoon season; Annual leave......ok it wasnt much of an evenful month. :)
Made a couple of new friends....some foreign people new to "Sin City"
Im sure you wondering what i eventually ended up doing for annual leave? Well.....i enquired about this retreat thing....and turns out (thanks to monsoon season) it was flooded in and there was no way to access this temple....so they said they would keep me posted. So instead my thai-language teacher AND meditation teacher; Khun Pongchan; mentioned that there is place near to home in Rayong that can take you on for like 3 days. which sounds better than 10 days (lets be honest....me in 10 days of silence.....omg.....3 days yes....10....i dont think im ready....) AND i dont know if i could go 10 days without speaking to Pukka. Yes; I have a Pukka ;) . And hes amazing. Perfect really. Its a bit of a lame story....but its still cool and i love how lame it is....tee hee hee.....lovely..... :)And he happens to be on my mind all the time and he knows it :)
Anywoo......So i spent my leave lazing by the pool; going to gym....with Wends, Steph and Nina. Nina is new.....and she rocks....so we have been doing all these gym classes....mainly because of hot instructor Meaw....omg.....HE IS SO HOT/ADORABLE!!! I'll need to get a picture for you all.....so i now do BodyCombat; which is Muay thai; and then body pump and TONS of yoga.....TONS.....with the most rocking Indian Yogi. His name is Rishi. So bendy! And so funny! Hes new to pattaya and thinks its disgusting. Poor fella. Anyway because im Farang im easily noticable so we have become quite chatty before class. Flip he's funny! I bends you into these pretzle like positions. And smiles while he breaks you in half! Or comes up to me while im balancing on one foot with my arms in pretzles and tries to scare me till i fall over. And because i joke that i only have 4 friends (which is true....i really shouldnt joke about that) So everytime we meet someone new in yoga class Rishi and I are like "Ok; friend number 5....6....7" hes classic. Cracks me right up. But its cool. Im really enjoying yoga; Im doing all the different types; Hatha; Sirviya-something yoga....balance-like-a-pretzel-yoga.....fart-yoga....super-hot-class-yoga......and balance-on-one-hand-like a tibetian-monk-yoga :) The other yogi is this bird called Om. OMG. (Oh and wendy's personal trainer's name is....Vacuum......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....Vacuum.....) So Om. Om...G....Shes so so bendy! I have never seen anything like it.... its like contortion class rather than yoga class.....she always laughs at the shock on my face....Any way back to Meaw. So hot. "ONE MORE TIME" and "OK! NOW SINGLE!" Hes great. His instructor stage presence is just.....rocking.....And he sings along to the songs....and the words are completely wrong and hes just great..... these are the things i love about pattaya.
Well its definatly hitting winter.....its cold as! 29 Degrees. Heavens; ive started pulling out my winter woolies! ;) Ok.....the only way you tell its winter is the fact that the sun is setting earlier.....thats it.....its 29 degrees today.....it'll be at least mid 30-ies tomorrow......and probably late 30-ies by sat....sunday rain is forcasted....monsoon rain.....Monsoon rain is RATHER annoying. It floods certain roads and what a mission! You need to plan your trip at least an hour in advance to miss the flood/traffic....because one would assume with an entire SEASON of monsoons...EVERY YEAR; that people living here would know how to drive during a flash flood.....but no; no real storm water drainage either; so the roads are flooded with putrid smelling sewage.....can someone spell C-H-O-L-E-R-A! (Probably not me...i cant spell)
This month was really rather un-evenful. Work wise it was ok; preparing for our re-audit in December so thats keeping me UBER busy. And sadly our Technical Engineer resigned!
Dave; I wish you the best of luck for your future endeavors; you can only succeed because you are smart and great and intelligent and can only make the best of what ever is given to you! Good luck mate; it was great getting to know you this year! You have only ever been helpful and kind and really i only wish you wonderfulness for your future. You really deserve only goodness peace and prosperity! Your charisma and level headedness will be sorely missed by all im sure!Talking about work......I have a new friend at work. Art. The Petroleum engineer. What a brilliantly smart girl! Same age as me and studied in Perth.....wow.....what a smarty pants! And sweet and kind and i've really seemed to click with her at work. She rocks! Other than that; again; October has been rather uneventful! Well i dedicated this section to her and Benny....who both share my love for pink! :) http://nkpink.blogspot.com/
Ill Keep updating stuff during November. Now that I've been on annual leave im ready and prepared to knock the rest of the year dead! As well as the fact of planning my christmas holiday with the FAM! So excited! will be great to get out of Pattaya for 2 weeks! Really looking forward to that.....
