Great night

Before I went to work last night I actually had time to go to Bob´s bar at the beach to have dinner with my friends. Khao pat gai. Easy and yummy. I did the massive mistake though by wearing jeans. So after dinner I went to change to a dress. Much less sweaty.

Took my bike in and parked as usual by the beachroad. ( really convenient, thank you Patong counsil )

I wore my black heels and black dress and I had my hair slightly diffrent last night. I seriously was like 50 cm taller than everyone else. I mean I´m taller than the average Swedish girl anyway but this was hilarious. I think I could be mistaken for a katoey. Hahahahaha!!

Got to the bar and said hi to the girls. They are sweet. Sat down and instantly got a glas of wine. Thank you Pii Yah. Went to whiteroom and talked to Jocke and Pablo for a minute. Great guys.
Jocke asked me if I was a rocker tonight since I was dressed in black and with darker make-up on. Do you have to be a rocker if you dress dark? Not that I´m complaining if I was aiming to be a rocker....I kinda am a rocker. I´m a ROCKSTAR!! :)

I got a bit bored just sitting there sipping on my wine so I took Pii Mood out on the street to get people to go to the bar. She looked a little scared. I tried to talk to both girls and boys and couples but DAMN it was hard. I got 6 people to come and get a drink or 3. My first victime (!) was two OZ guys from Perth.
They were pretty easy to get. But I was requested to come and chat with them. Well it´s my job so sure.

One of the guys were intrested in the bar, it´s for sale, so Tobbe and Will(?) did some maths and numbers and what-not. They had a couple of beers and then they wanted me to go with them to Grabbarna Grus. But no can do because I´m working. Nice guys and all but no thank you.

A german couple sat down after I said I would give them a free shot. They spent 1,5 hours at the bar. We played some games and talked about their stay in Thailand.

At the end of the night 3 of  the swedish guys from yesterday came by and had a drink. They were a bit hungover from the day before. But they said that they are up for some drinks tonight. GOOD, then I know I´ll have some company. It´s a bitch sitting and doing nothing. I´m not used to that.
I talked to the girls in Thai and they talk to me and I can understand most of it actually. We crack jokes and we laugh. The head thai girl Pii Yah offered me to stay at her house in Patong so I could go out drinking with them at Tai Pan. I´m guessing they are looking for men. Or I know they are. But hey...that`s Thailand and aint no one gonna judge.

And a scoop for all you swedish readers. A very famous reality show celebrity came to my bar. I have know this person for almost a year and this person almost did not recognize me. Under the influance of various chemicals.
Then this person tells me something really big and fucks off without paying the bill. Not that I´m surprized. Not exactly the first time this has happened. Anyway...a shame really.

Tonight I´ll be having some drinks. So it´s gonna be fun. I´m gonna catch a tuk tuk to and from Patong. No driving no bikes here. First I´m going to cook dinner at home and then we are going to Beergarden for the pool comp. At least I can spend a few hours with my friends. Hopefully they will come and see me soon.


Today I went to the beach with Daniel on his lunch break for a quick swim. He went back to work and I stayed and had a walk. So nice. I talked to Nong Roh and she is having a baby girl. Yey!! She is happy, since she´s already got 2 boys. I would wanna have a girl too if I´m ever gonna have more kids.

It´s really really hot today and I´m sweaty as. Bikini and shorts is da bomb. Ima hit the shower in a minute and then start cooking my lemon/rosemary chicken pasta. ( Yes Angela my darling I am doing a veggie dish only for you )

Gonna try to take pictures tonight of the bar so you get to see where I work.

RUMPAN BAR

Ok, so I told you that I got a job at "Rumpan bar" in Patong. So yesterday was my very first night. I went in by motorbike at about 20.10. Had a dinner meeting at Harry´s first. When I got there there was a huge group of people. All from Sweden and mixed ages. Tobbe treated me to dinner and wine. Thank you sweetie. By 22.00 we were done and all the boys had gotten a bit drunk. So they decided that we should go to Molly Malone´s for a drink. I had a coke cuz I don´t wanna be tipsy on my first day of work. And the fact that I had to ride my bike back to Kamala. See...very mature of me.

At about 23-ish me and Tobbe went to Rumpan Bar. I work with 3 very sweet girls. Pii Yah, Pii Mood and Pii Am. Really sweet girls. We will get along just fine.

Tobbe asked me if  I wanted to put some of my favorite shots or drinks on the menu. So I put the "skittle bomb" as the drink for the night. It´s actually pretty nice. Had to try one to see that the girls got me when I gave them the ingrediens. They did.

After a while the Swedish crew rocked up and I had the hardest job ever, to mingle and chat with them.

I ended up sitting with Henrietta and 2 cute boys from Uppsala and watched them play games. The loser has to get a round of shots. Tony ( I think his name was Tony ) lost two times and Henrietta lost one time.

David and I had a few laughs about it cuz Henrietta doesn´t like tequila and that was what was given.

Rumpan bar is located right next to Whiteroom so I get to see my friends a lot. That´s nice. Too bad I can´t go in and dance. Everyone knows I love to dance. I´m gonna have one night this week that Ima party. Take a tuk-tuk back home. I will not drive drunk from Patong. Not even slightly tipsy. Hell to the no! Sitting and drinking soda water and coke all night kinda sucked. But is Ok. 

Anyway, I sat there an talked all night to people. Got 5 british guys to come have a drink. Yey me!!

Got asked by some of the boys if  I wanted to go out with them after work, but I had other plans. Maybe when I have that partynight this week I will.

Tonight I start at 22.00 and I hope I´ll get as many funny and nice costumers as last night.

SO IF YOUR GOING TO PATONG TO PARTY, SWING BY MY BAR AND HAVE A DRINK. I´LL TREAT YOU TO A SHOT!!



Hopefully I get to hang out with my friends tonight before work. Have dinner or something.

All and all my first night was wonderful and I´m really happy that I got this job. Thanx again T and H <3

Now I´m going to have a shower and a nap. :)

Busy busy

I know I haven´t written in a while. But I have actually been busy. Having fun. And getting a JOB!! Yey!

The past week I have been out and about a couple of times. With my lovely oz friends of course. I can´t begin to tell you how great they are.

Talked to my boys on friday. God I miss them. But we agreed upon this and I can´t go back on it. They need to be in Sweden for a while. They haven´t seen their dad in many months prior so I can´t be egotistic.
It was wonderful to see them but they have lost their english so bad. I´m the one the speaks to them and since Im not there I guess it´s just not happening. Thank god for skype. :)
Mommy loves you very much. Never doubt that one bit......

Got to ride with Ann and Marcus to immigration. What a hassle. Sometimes you wonder if thai people really are stupid. They can make things so difficult. Stoped by a garage to re-fill the freon to the car´s A/C. It was +37 and I can tell you that it was a sauna in the back of the car. Hahahaha....
Had a nice ride though with Ann and Marcus. We rarely hang out these days so it was nice to catch up for a few hours. ( ANN....Middag i vecka...hur svår ska det vara?? )
A huge thank you to both of you for letting me tag along. Driving in Phuket town is a drag.
Lots of love coming your way. <3

Also went to Patong on Friday to have one last party for Dalila. Dalila is Nadias daughter. ( have written about Nadia in previous posts, a wonderful woman ) Dalila went back to Sweden on Saturday morning.
So we did our normal rounds and ended up at grabbarnas.Till very early morning. A bit smashed but it´s all good. My friend Falida works at grabbarnas so it was nice chatting with her.

Oh...wanna tell you that I got a job too. You are now reading the blog of the new bar manager of Rumpan bar in Patong. WOHOO!! I start my first shift tonight.
It´s very exciting and I am so thankful that Henrietta and Tobbe have such faith in me.
Thank you guys. *love*

Spent Saturday noon and forward at Surin beach with Daniel. Both were a bit hungover so sun, food and swim was perfect. Ended up at SC later that evening for the pool comp. Everyone was playing but me. I really don´t feel like embarrass myself in public competitions. However I have beaten both Daniel and Jody in the past. :)

Sunday we took a bikeride to Kata. Had lunch and stoped at Karon beach for a swim on the way back.And just as we were getting ready to go back it started to rain. Heavy rain. So we were stuck under an umbrella for a good 15 minutes.

Daniel and I stayed in Patong while the others headed back to Kamala. Or so we thought.
Sorry again Jodes for thinking you were your slow self. IF you´d call and said you got a flat tyre I would´ve come for you. And blame Dewi. He was the one that rode with you back.....or should have.

Anyway, went to the tattoo shop and all of a sudden its cover-up time. Which seems to be the best option at the moment. No, not for me. Daniel´s back. But I might do something too. When I get my first pay check :)

Got a clipper and went back to Kamala and cut Dan´s hair. I know, Cute!!

Late afternoon we went with the girls and Marty, Nicky and some other thai ladies to the night market in Phuket town. We just arrived and got our first snack when it started to rain. We stood under a plastic roof for maybe 30 min. But then it eased down. I bought 3 pairs of shades ( no, James....500 baht or you can´t have the white pair ) and 2 silver nose rings. Didn´t really need anything but it was fun to go. It has been years since I been there. And it actually rained that time too.

Ended up at SC again to watch the fotball game between Chelsea and Liverpool. 1-1 so I don´t know what the fuss is about, but apperantly that was not good. Judging by the face of a certain football freak.

Had a great week with lots of activitys and heart to heart conversations. It is reliving to get things of your chest sometimes. No matter how good or bad it is. Hopefully the person who is listening get you and don´t judge you or make you feel bad.

Have a wonderful week. I will......
