Now to the cricket.....WTF fucking pom bashing everywhere every bloody aussie givin it in my ear about the ashes it was bloody disgraceful and i had to cop it from everyone lucky me. I managed to get tickets to the Test aMelbournene on boxing day wot a waste of money that was i hope they just dont lose cause then i'll be pissed.

I'm still in sydney probably cause i'm just enjoying it so much but i'm heading up the coast around mid jan which should be cool. I cant even till that xmas is round the corner its so bloody hot its mad, i cant take it but i'm sure its better then the weather down there :)

Not much to report except that i'm having a great time just chilling on the beach doing nothing and getting smashed at all these cool places.

Still haven't found where to get english mayonnaise though its starting to piss me off.
Oh well till next time ppl, where hopefully i will get my pics up

Alec

P.S i finally managed to get a chance to play the new pro its great

Well

Hello people.
I cant even apologise for not posting anything for ages its nuts i keep forgetting.
I finally have some interesting news though that i'm sure will make you jump off your seat.
I was in a car crash about 2 weeks ago, it was pretty big. I was rushed to hospital and was unconscious for 4 days woke up and found out i was in a car crash. I suffered a broken arm and part of my skull was showing which is pretty fucked and also a few cuts here and there. I'm alright though so dont worry except for the stitches around my head and other various places. This unexpected event has put a dent in my plans for traveling for a bit so i have to chill in sydney until at least my arm heals and i'm alright to go back onto the piss lol.
Well before that happened i was having a blast, i went down to coffs harbour and went scuba diving which was cool also just being a bit careful i dont see a stingray!
I've also been going to loads of clubs and seeing top quality djs which is great i was quite surprised to see how many come over to sydney.
So yeh other then the car crash i've been getting smashed and having a blast and meeting loads of ppl. I also got a new job selling raffle tickets yes raffle tickets, its for an afl club down here. Best job i ever had i'm earning a buck loads get to talk to gorgeous girls all the time and well sell raffle tickets its crazy stuff.
So because of the accident i'll be in sydney till new yrs but my arm should heal in about 1 or 2 months then i can hit the massive new yrs parties they have here which is cool. Then finally head up coast with my friend in a car which should be sweet.
Also one thing i forgot to mention is that mayonnaise over here is fucking disgusting i'm not sure wots up with it lol
Yeh so i hope everyone is well i'll get some new pics up soon when i'm bothered and till then try and sleep in a cast its pretty fucking difficult!!

Have a good one ppl

Chef Aleco

Right well i've been a right lazy twat but i've been working non stop then just going out so not much time to use the internet.
Anyways not much else to report on except that it fucking hailed yes HAILED 2day for about 20mins and some places around sydney it just built up to be snow which was kinda weird especially with the alright weather this week.
Yep its getting a lil warmer now but still not at its best but i dont mind waiting.
Anyways i changed job i'm now a telemarketer hehe selling life insurance to ppl which is fun, yes i do get alot of fuck offs but i dont give a shit.
I've decided that i'm going to do 3months of fruitpicking so that i can get a second holiday working visa so i can come back here which is sweet. Although fruit picking is long and tiring and u work in the blistering summer heat in the middle of a field. At the moment i'm just organising where i'm going to go in oz and how long for, as u all know i just cant prepare for things so i'll just wing it.
Oh and i think this has been the best achievement of all......i've learned to cook some simple meals thanks to my roommate. Its actually not that hard and it tastes pretty damn good.
Chicken curry with rice and spaghetti bolognese, excellento. So far those 2 meals are feeding me for 1 week in my apartment while i try not to spend all my rent money on going out, but hey wot can u do.
Anyways when i figure out what i'm doing i'll post it and if anything slighty interesting happens i'll be sure to mention it.

Hmmm

Right guys sorry i haven't really updated this for a bit i've been really busy.
Basically the weather over here is shite and its pissing down which is great while u lot are soaking up the sun god dammit.
Basically i moved into my new apartment last week friday which is great, i got 2 other housemates both from work and we still haven't bought any food for the place yet cause we are lazy but we have been buying lots and lots of alcohol which is great. Oh but drinking games are fucking evil but good fun and we have been doing alot of them cause that is basically all we do which is alright. My pad is kitted out with the usuals - dishwasher, laundry and shit which is good, cause i cant be fucked to pay someone to do my laundry.
Well i'm starting to notice things about sydney and how different it is
1. There are tons of asians, its hard to spot an ozzie
2. I've been gambling more because those are the only rooms u can smoke in when ur in a club or pub
3. Yes u cant smoke in bars and it pisses me off so u have to smoke outside which is pretty annoying.
4. They dont have double decker buses but triple decker trains which is pretty fucking crazy and a train system that is so much better than london
5. When i ask for a pint they say we dont have any cause only a few places in sydney sell beer by pint glasses, they sell it in a glass called a scooner which is some fucked up mix between a pint and a half pint glass - 425ml for all those that care
6. people have aussies accents crazy huh
7. The snakebites here have rasberry cordial in them which makes them taste different but its not too bad

Now while doing my door to door job i came across a sign which i thought was pretty amusing because they should stick it up in acton somewhere
Other than getting pissed quite alot and just drinking for the hell of it at about 11am on a sunday till the end of the night not much else to report on. All is going well i'm making some dough got loads of fit birds in my workplace but their is a rule "You cant screw the crew" which is gay and i cant do anything cause i'm living with my boss and he is only 21 which is also fucked up but a great guy.
Well thats just about it, i heard its 98F or something like that which is pretty crazy, i'm just waiting for summer because its gonnna be hot, loads of chicks in bikini's, great beaches and last xmas it was 45C that is fucked up and on new years day as well, which should be pretty intresting to see.

Oh one more thing.....ITS MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY U BITCHES
Dont worry i got really smashed on saturday and haven't gone to sleep yet so i'm gonna go out 2nite again and get smashed then get some sleep.

Evolution Of Dance

Just watch this cause its great, this man can dance. How many of these dance moves have u done?

Doing some good

Right well after doing my lil tourist picture taken and what not i started my quest in trying to find a job. Would you believe it i found one, i went for the interview they said it was for some sort of sales work, i said i'm right guy cause i have sales exxperiance and stuff. Come in 2moro for ur evaluation, excellent.
I found out that i would be working for a charity, i mean who would have thought i would be working for a charity not me i can tell u that. Whatever i dont care i'll just blag it cause they pay sounds pretty sweet (35 quid for each person u sign up, so if i sign up 1 person a day for the 6 days i work thats 210 a week and if i sign up thats more cash :)). I was introduced to my evaluator person a very good looking blonde german girl, we hit it off pretty much straight away and we jumped into the field.
We go door to door asking ppl if they would like to sponsor a child for only over $1 a day, it was quite intresting to see that alot of these ppl have already sponsored a kid with another company thats pretty big in oz. Well anyways i accepted the job so i am hoping to make some dough while also doing some good, not bad ey.
On saturday it was a company get together so i was quite lucky, i could start meeting ppl and shit. First stop liquor store to buy about 4 cases of beer hehe 24 bottles of goodness in each crate. Next stop..........a karoke place hahaha wot the fuck i cant sing, oh well. We got a private room filled with 14 ppl either english or irish, fookin pikeys. We all started drinking and with karoke that soon turned ugly. Getting on top of tables and dancing and singing to classics such as michael jackson's beat it, billie jean some oasis, summer loving, surfin usa and other such random classics. After all getting smashed and wreaking the room we moved on to watch the
england game in a pub filled to rim with english fans as u could guess. Well i'm sure u know how the match went so i cant be bothered to rant about that.
Anyways thats all for now cause its hurting my hands typing.
Read up on the good work i do http://www.plan.org.au/

Alec now part of PLAN :)

G'day Mate

So finally i have left asia, not that i didn't hate it but i wanted to arrive at the country that is such an integral place for my travels.......Australia.
Firstly a quick summary about what i have been up 2 before that flight. I arrived in singapore which is where i was stopped by customs and could face a fine for having.........chewing gum, yep chewing gum. Its banned in the country and if your caught with it in singapore there is a hefty fine, i wonder if they have chewing gum sniffing dogs or something, that would be quite amusing.
So after setting myself up in a hostel with this dutch fellow called wouter(walter for the english, pic is above) who was a friend of anne (the persons house i was staying at) we decided to hit the town and go to ministry of sound, cause he claims there is nothing to do in singapore and i couldn't be fucked to find out or not. Let me give u an idea of the clubbing scene in singapore......the club is massive, decroted well, big dancefloors and 2 free drinks on entry. Although the first thing i noticed was the amount of prossies hanging around and dancing . A bit disturbing, thank god they weren;t lady boys and actually looked kinda hot....probably cause they had barely any clothes on which was nice. It was an ok night nothing special but i was feeling a little bit ruff from the nite before so i was taking it slow unfortunately but still managed to rave to some techno tunes and also go into the god awful 80's disco room full of old english and irish ppl doing the white man dance.
We decided we had enough and headed home.
Well next day i decided to do some exploring around the city, i arrived at the main shopping district which was basically a majority of singapore. You would expect to find cheap ass clothes, expensive clothes and fake clothes.....i went in the direction of the fake and cheap ass clothes, i was not disappointed, picking up a few bargains. By far the best thing about singapore was the food, so much food, so much good and cheap food i loved it, i went for double portions and loved every bite twas gorgeous stuff. I also decided to at last buy a digital camera cause they are so ridiculous cheap in singapore and i picked me up a nice one. Here is a picture of some kids playing in the high pressure fountains which i was waiting to see if any of them would stand over it hehe, also the bag i am living out of.

Saturday nite walter took me to meet some of his mates and also watch the german game, now i didn't know that it was going to be a german bar fall of tall bloody germans, i couldn't even see the screen they were just towering over me. Well a tried some german beer which was brewed in the bar which was pretty cool but the beer was disgusting i'm never having german beer again. They were all pretty happy seeing as how they one 2-0 heres a pic of all those crazy bastards celebrating.
After leaving the crazed german beer we headed to anoter club called Attica which was pretty cool cause i couldn't get into Attica in London but i got in here no prob. Again same sorta stuff nothin special at all quite annoyed, well i know never to go clubbing in singapore again.
Heres a pic that i took so that i seemed like a professional photographer, it was taken outside the departures lounge at singapore airport.


Well at long last i arrived in sydney with nothin but my backpack and shades. I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt so that i could get used to the nice weather, while walking by customs some customs officer said its a bit chilly out there, ha probably for them and its probably summer for me. Oh boy was i wrong, it was fucking freezing i could not move i was shivering, its like winter in the uk, damn for not listening to my mum about packing a jumper, feck. Although it was 5:20am and it is winter time in oz but hey i just chose to ignore it like a fool.
After getting some minibus to my hostel i met some german girl called sarah who seemed pretty cool and we were staying at the same hostel so got chatting.
We arrived at the hostel, i got a room with 5 other guys (no mixed dorms here god dammit) but they were all sleeping so i had to drop my bags and change into some jeans quietly.
At this point it was still fucking freezing so i dragged sarah to find a mall and buy some jumpers. I found a footlocker which was annoying cause they were just a little bit cheaper than england but hey i was desperate so i bought 2 nike hoodies. It was so called i had to wear both of them, thats how bad it was. In general for the first day i didn't do too much, just making sure i opened an account, got a tax number and a sim card. The sun started to shine in the afternoon which was pretty good although it was still pretty cold but better. We had a quick look around the city getting our bearings and what not. I had a nice little kip cause i was nackered and i woke up just in time for the oz-italy game. There was a bar just downstairs which was kinda packed so i met these 2 english lads and we decided to go watch it together. The club was playing disco hits as well and it seemed exactly like the redback, very strange. Well the game ended in heartbreak for the aussies which was a shame as they didn't deserve too lose on some shitty penalty.
Right so 2day i decided to go to places and become a tourist in sydney, i went with sarah to the harbour which was really cool and the weather was good as well. We took some pics which u can see of various things that i thought was intresting and anything that i wanted to take a pic of.
So other then going around the city and taking pics i've been searching for accommodation and jobs, the job hunting didn't go so well cause i forgot my cv like a twat so i'm in the process of typing it out now. Right well i'm going to piss off to the bar now, i'm going to upload all my pics to my yahoo website but i cant be bothered to do it now so i'll do it 2moro or something.
