Ill again. You cannot be serious?!?!

Well last nights “sleep” was pretty rubbish, my throat doing it’s best to keep me awake. I woke up this morning feeling a tad shite. Seems to be a different breed of ‘cold’ than the other two and came on quick. So it’s been nearly 6 months I’ve been here and this is the 3rd time I’ve felt ill, totally crap as back home I could go a year with maybe one spell of illness. For this China I dislike you.

Because I felt crap I stayed in today, try and rest up this time (drink plenty of fluids, etc) rather than power through it like the other times. It was by no means an uneventful day though as Kathy (Benjamin’s mate) came over and I was soon mucking about with them. The main game we played was ‘Detective vs Thief’ where the thief hides an item in the room, leaves a written clue and the detectives hunt for it. Quite fun actually, was good to spend almost a full day with the little ninja. A Christmas card from my Dad and co arrived, that was nice and Benjamin got the stamps. 🙂

Lunch was Papa John’s pizza’s and for tea we went to a restaurant in the mall. Stuffed as usual, favourites were the stuffed bing and sweet sticky rice ball things, nom. Afterwards Benjamin bought (note: his mum bought) some playdoh. Most of the kits there, and the advert that was running, all amount to making food! Pizza, ice cream, cakes, fruit, spaghetti, etc. Jebus H, it’s bad enough telling kids not to eat it without this.

Leaving the family I popped past Costa and paid the extortionate price of 31RMB/3.10GBP for a mocha. The plan was to leech their wifi and have a Skype chat with my mum but it turns out no one was awake, it was after 12 noon there! Michty me. Anyway I got home and (when they got up) chatted to my mum and younger brother, was good to catch up with them. I haven’t spoke to my mum since I’ve been here, oops sorry mum.

The rest of the night I chilled and watched ‘The Shawshank Redemption’, such a good film. 🙂

Do I have to tip the pilot?

AirAsia are bastards.

I haven’t even flown with them yet but I have all ready come to this conclusion. I booked my flights with them because Skyscanner told me they were the cheapest. I’ve traveled with many low budget airlines before but never had to pay for my luggage. Pay cheap get cheap, yes I know. I have two flights with them, transferring in Kuala Lumpur, the first being only a few hours and the second being over 8. I don’t know yet if my bags are being transferred or I need to re-check them in. If I want any food or in-flight entertainment I will need to pay for it. Jebus H. Well you can shove your entertainment (probably be crap anyway) I’ll just read a book and buy some booze duty free. Bastards.

Apart from the realisation of this I did nothing today. Attempting to rest my body and rid it of the evil that lurks inside.

Scotland drew vs America, last outing with them was at Randy’s hometown Jacksonville where we got whupped 5-1. Ouch.

How awesome is this?! That put a huge grin on my face. 😀

Tomorrow I will probably be drinking beer.

[Bible Update: Been a while and yes I am still reading this thing (25+% done), good remedy for subway boredom. So a round up; you should be stoned to death if you’re a man wearing woman’s clothes, if a husband finds something wrong with you this can lead to some stoning, “hill of foreskins” (they like collecting these in battle sometimes), pissing on someones wall, dude can kill a thousand people using an animals jaw bone all thanks to the power of his curly locks, two dudes are clearly gay for each other (kissing in a field and then crying?!), maid gets gang raped to death then her owner chops her up into bits to send round the land…]
