the jabs

hmmmm to get vaccinated or not to get vaccinated? hhmmmm.
2 and a half weeks in thailand, beach not jungle...

not
1. scared of needles
2. expensive - the same amount of money could buy me better food therefore decreasing the risk.
3. don't really know if i need to.
4. false sense of security.
5. been to the jungles of malaysia and didnt get vaccinated and didnt get anything.

to
1. it might help me not get sick
2. peace of mind.
3. i dont want to spend my holiday in a thai hospital.
4. overcome my fear of needles.
5. hmmmm cant think of another one.

the vaccinations we are talking about are hepatitis a, b and c, polio (dont think i need to), typhoid and tetanus. and malaria and dengue (sp?) hmmmmm

anyone got any advice?

if i didnt feel so sick i could be here.

maybe i will go to the pools instead
the chlorine will surely fix me up.

heat wave

i hate being sick. i am not very good at it. i hate being sick even more when its 39 degrees outside. how can i be cold when its so hot?
and then i am hot but a sick hot, not a yay summer hot.
and i am thirsty but it hurts to drink.
and i cant sleep anymore.
and i just want to read harry potter but i only have 2 pages left... that wont last me the day.
maybe the winter olympics is still on.

be mine

aaahhhh so hot. i shouldnt complain coz really i love it but today its even way too hot to go to the beach. so its just cold shower action all day.
i just went to the shops to look for a bag to take overseas with me.. its a bit exciting. they are so many to choose from. and they all have wheels. i think i want a backpack with wheels. hee hee.

oh yeah love to you all... i hope your passion is as firey as this red tree.

zombie-fied

last night we got brainwashed. but we got a free holiday!
we went to a timeshare seminar. weird. they told us that all we had to do was attend a 90 minute seminar and we would walk away with accomodation valued at $1200. cool. no obligation to buy anything. just sit through a seminar. cool.
so we got there and there was all these middle aged to old couples reading their timeshare folders with a cup of coffee. they told us to be there 15 minutes early to be in the $500 door prize too. cool. 500 bucks. then this guy came 0ut of this room and called out our names. just us. no one else. his name was brian and he had an extemely excited air about him and an even more excited but slightly nervous high pitched laugh. we almost did a runner. he led us to a table and we had to talk to him about our lives. he cracked weak jokes and tried to be our friend. then we had to go into a big room where all the other couples and their new found friends were. we had to watch a video about how easy it is to go on holidays and then listen to this other guy trying to crack jokes. he tried to get people to interact with him. tough crowd. everyone just wanted the free holiday.
anyway blah blah 2 hours later our friend brian told us that he didnt think timeshare was for us and where did we want go on our free holiday... so we were the first ones to leave. as we left a few couples were asked to stand up and shout 1, 2, 3.. alaska! as they had their photo taken. they must have signed up.

so we are gonna go to melbourne and stay in a fancy hotel - we have a year to use it. cool.
