6 hour countdown

Today has been a hectic day .. there was lotsa running around to be done and I must admit , I feel rather concluded and contented with my achievements today . I am now sitting down in front of the laptop with a million things running through my head . Alot of should have's as well as shouldn't have's .. some awesome moments and some quite heart rending moments . But I am trying to put away all my thoughts and focus on one thing at a time .. As for now , I need to get on my bike - with all my fuckin' stuff and make my way to transit point number 1 - Folkestone . Cycling was one thing but cycling with panniers loaded with almost 19 kg's of camping equipment etc is definitely another league ...

This is how my sister's place looked as I invaded her lounge with my self sustainable belongings .. As much as I love travelling - this time I had to spellbind myself to ensure I am not stuck in some forest in Germany just to take in that I had forgotten some essentials . I really had to put my mind and soul into this checklist and I must say - I am still not 100 % but came up with a new dogma - Come what may , can't give a fuck no more :)

Went over to Stef's at around 10 pm just to make sure he has got everything in place and yeah , we both looked at each other looking a bit nervous thinking to ourselves , this sounds all fuckin' awesome :)

I must say that travelling with Stef is gonna be enjoyable and special in everyway ..

Anyway , I am going to try and update this blog with some daily journals if permitted . Promise to put up some nice pictures and videos of us doing what we do best . To all the people in London who have made my stay here a grand one - thank you . To those who contributed to distressing moments , thanks for making me stronger . Now you know , when I leave this place .. the next time you hear me sing Home by Michael Buble , I sure am talking about London and about all the great people here . Love and respect .. Pavin xx

My 7 nation run on the bicycle

Well , here are some of the finalised details concerning my bike ride ..

A very good friend of mine has shown interest in wanting to join me on this ride ..

This person is no other than Stefano .. a famous figure in Enfield :)

An awesome tennis player , a good drinker , a good spontaneous brother with a strong personality and a good reputation to be able to do things that many may find fuckin' crazy or simply revolting :) I must admit that doing this trip with Stefano would be really awesome as we are pretty much very good friends , the same people in many ways and pretty much used to sleeping rough therefore sharing a tent in someones farm woudn't be that hard but mind you , I am not very certain of his sexuality :) Haha ..

Well .. this is the finalised route ..

3 weathers a day in Enfield

I am really proud of the place I have called home for the last 7 years ...

Enfield is the name of the place :) 

The world's first ATM machine was installed right here in the heart of town .. so don't fuck about will ya' ?

Spelling's pretty similar to the same town where the best football team comes from ! 

You know what time it is ..

 Yeah , I just heard some of you cringe - going , yeah rite .. well , yeah fuckin' right back at ya' mate ! Haha .
Anyways , unlike countries with 4 seasons annually .. today I was put up with 3 different seasons on the same day . Well , this morning I woke up .. it almost felt like one of them days in a beachside country . Beachside country ? Well , I dunno what I really meant by that but everytime I go on holiday and accomodate myself next to a beach house somewhere , I feel like a fuckin' hero . The hangovers and body ache's usually don't suceed in prolonging my sleep or rest in anyway ..

One of the best views I got with my travels is this one , I love .. this one to start off with 

Picture yourself waking up to this . It was a normal shot taken from my room using a 100 quid camera mate , nothing special but the picture made it priceless

The next day , I got a bit more creative and captured this one ..

As the high tides set the shores , you see double shades .. A morning dip ?!

A view from my room during sunset ..

When life makes you think that you're a bore .. meaningless living , beer drinking , sex thinking , fat carrying , mind fuckin' person . I think the best medicine for your cures - TRAVEL . No I am not speaking through experience :) Assholes ..

Anyways , I am not gonna share the location of the places above in case you white tourists decide to make it just another fuckin' Phuket or Majorca . If you really wanna go there , speak to me mate , I'll draw you the fuckin' map :) Anyways , peculiar that I started off speaking about my wonderful town Enfield and ended up sharing sunsets and views from miles apart .

Anyways , just as I was speaking to you guys , while the sun was shining and the weather was sweet - it suddenly started snowing hard for like 10 minutes . I ain't joking .. 

This is the view I now get from my place in Enfield .. 

On a clear day , I could see all the way down to Epping Forest - That's what the estate agent said anyway :P

This entire post got me really confused now .. I wanted to write about something , I ended up writing about something like chalk and cheese . So I will try and end this post trying my best to quote something rather intellectual .. Ermm , the next time you wake up and feel shitty , despite trying your best to convince yourself that you are fine and if you still feel like shite - Just continue sleeping !?!!?!

I took this photo 6 years ago in a friends house in Puchong but I think it kinda generated the message . 

Hope you guys are as confused as I am at the moment .. Nice weekend geezers :)

Basically , due to the medication I have been prescribed these last few days .. I realise I had woken up 4 times today . Most of my dreams were spawned alongside these picturesque views

Dinner at Benji boy's

Benji and family invited us over for dinner the other night .. It was a very exciting day for me as it would be the first time I get to see Keeley and Lilly Mai after this long pause although I was quite anxious to try Ben's cooking , nervous more like it huh ?!

Keeley and Lilly looked so awesome , it was a family reunion to be honest . Benji was really enthusiastic about preparing dinner so we headed to the kitchen . I was the sous-chef , imitating some of those people in funny hats in the show The f-word except I had no hat on . My head chef was very organised and besides the occasional expressions with the word fuck , everything was smooth sailing . I learnt alot about English cooking .. for example peeling the potatoes - which felt like a complete a hassle . Trumphed at it towards the end though :)

Ben prepared onions with some baked peppers in vinegar and fried them together for a while and left them to be jellified as he put it .. They looked like this after 20 mins and tasted fuckin' awesome !

 

Ben then put in some of his magic powders , mixed them up together and started marinating this awesome lamb chops . He then put them in the refrigerator for the flavour to blend in 

How the meat looked after marination - Sick huh ?! Dijon mustard with lumps in ! Right Benji ?!

What the girls were up to when the men were at work :)

Someone couldn't keep his hands off the food !!

Awesome with lamb chops !

I don't have the photos for the two other ingredients but try and imagine this anyways :

1. Potatoes peeled and boiled and then baked with some special tops
2. Cauliflowers - chopped small and glazed with cheddar cheese and milk

Keeley put it very clearly that she loves his cooking but he takes a fuckin' long time . Indeed he did , this is how everybody looked whilst waiting for the food and I even took this oppurtunity to take photos of these two fishes in the kitchen ..

Had a small opinionated conversation about these fished in the aquarium but Benji convinced me that he spoke to them everyday when he woke up and that they weren't lonely in there . I think one was called fish and the other was called chips :P

That is a picture of me and my god daughter - Lilly Mai . Adorable and mysterious , I got a feeling she would be a musician traveling around the world , flower sticking and dread locked for sure :)

Anyways , at around 9:30 pm .. the food was finally ready ..
As Ben put it .. Done !

Benji boy -I didn't expect you to prepare such a good meal man . You were pulling awesome Jamie Oliver sounding phrases in the kitchen and the food seemed to have come from the River Cottage :)
The wait was that all satisfying afterall :)

A satisfied customer - think the smile says alot !

Keeley having some bites and posing for the camera like Britains Next top model

It was yet another awesome day at The Farendens . Next time around , we are gonna be trying Kerry's chicken pie :) Am gonna be counting the days .. Thanks guys , we had a fuckin' blast ! xxx

A dream

I went out on a bender last night , totally unplanned . One of those nights when you thought was gonna be slow and chilled but then the opposite happens . Went to Nay Tun's place last night and he prepared this sick steak . It was definitely the first time I have ever seen him cook Western food but the turnout was absolutely fantastic !

I then went somewhere really special for a really singular reason . I will blog about this tomorrow with pictorials . Was simply thinking , a couple of bevy's down the Ridgeway and I should be done . Out of the blue , was invited to a party at Taryn's house . Little did I know that the party compromised of almost 20-30 people . It was a very mixed crowd party and I must say that the Polish beers I brought along with me flanking the nice people who were there enabled me to have a good time ..

Was then joined by Andy , Sam and Ben for some minutes - we said our goodbyes when we realised that everything was closed . Another drunken walk home .. realised I had nicked some road bleeping lights on the way home . I am very attracted to the lights when I am drunk .. ain't my fault really !

I was in my brother Ben's house alongside with Kerry and her mate . This mate of hers was showing me little drawings that she made while she was bored or expressing herself . For some weird reason .. we got along so well . I felt like she was my spiritual friend that I have been lacking for all these times in my life .

Whilst she was seated on the other side of the room , we had small glimpses of each other at every given oppurtunity and everytime our eyes met , I felt this tiny little tingle at the back of me neck . I felt like I was 17 ... I felt like I am in love with love all over again . And at one point , I went up to her and sat next to her . She smelt of summer fruits and her medium length black hair was astonishingly shiny . Her eyes were big and threw out a million gazes at me .. Just as I was going to take a deep breath to keep my cool .

Our hands met and we held on , very slowly ..

We gawked into each others eyes with passion

Our hands were moving very gently , discovering the magic of the moment

We then hugged .. I felt reborn

Then of course , we shared the most wonderful kiss .. a little bit sloppy in the beginning but slowly as we found each others paces .. the world just spun around us . I was in love ...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz - The fuckin' phone then rings . My mate wants to know if I'd like to come over to his house for lunch . I really was not paying attention to what he was saying but simply trying to convince myself that it weren't a dream and hung up pretty swiftly . No matter how hard I tried , I could not get a glimpse of her face no more . I could not pursue the kiss that I longed for .. I lost the moment , I lost my magical soul partner .

Funny how I was actually devastated about this whole situation ..

Are you really out there ? Or are you merely a dream ?

X-mas party at Salua's !

Deep inside , I have always wanted to be a Brazilian

Call me a poser .. I think I belong there ..

Wear the gear and talk the talk ..
From the city of men to the city of gods
Rio de Janeiro , the city of pride

Me in Seven Sisters out to impress with a Guinness

Back to the main topic

I got this two friends from Brazil  .. One is Salua and the other Amancio :)

One was forever jovial and the other an everlasting smile , what a combination !

They decided to throw a X-mas party .. Not like an X-rated party but like a Christmas party mate :)
L - R : Hot chick and Fat Santa Claus with a hard-on

So , we camped out at Luke's and tried to get a bit tipsy ..
I think this smile says alot :)

I had some Jd and coke , very unlike me but thanks to Petra ..

I felt good :) Very quickly ..
L - R : Zhukra and Lukey

 

The food was awesome with lotsa different variety :)
L - R : Radek and Natalia

This is Ales , a satisfied customer for sure

Hiran and Amancio having intellectual conversations ..
Hiran man , that wine does not look good on your hands !
Where is your fuckin' whiskey mate !

 L - R : Salua and Roberta
This is what we mean good food .. given a chance lick it :)

We had good chefs making good food
We even had Seb from Germany make us some wikid mulled wine !
Now , that is sick mate :)

Some alcoholic bevy's ..
This was 20 percent of the beverages , the rest were placed outside for the perfect natural chill

Previn and Kathy branding a beautiful smile ..

Salua's friends who were very friendly and accomodating

If you look closely , Lukey turns from being white to pink and then RED 

Being surrounded by two girls in RED doesn't help either :)
That's Seb from Germany in a black Kiwi T-shirt ?

Zhukra and Jarek giving the finger !

I was then quite impressed with this camera ..

It took pictures exactly from my point of view ..

Blurred .. like it had the same amount of alcohol I did !

Very impressive camera - reads and feels your mind

Are they all pouting ? The new trend or simply a mouth ache ?

More smiles and why not grope each other ..

There is no party without dancing and music , the Brazilians set the standards and show us how it's done

The Kazakhstan way of saying .. I've had down alot of booze tonight !

Well , overall we had an awesome night out . We didn't get any unwanted visits from either the police or the foolish council so yeah , it was a party well done !

Soon after the party , we went to Lukey's .. being the Malaysian he is , he gave us his bed and slept on the floor ! Sorry dude , I honestly dozed off :P

That's me and living up to the saying , never waste any drink ..
Think about the people without any water ..

We definitely can't forget our best buddy - Barky boy
He missed the party but he still was smiling
Mind the blue eyes , he was kinda in the X-mas mood too ..

Last but not least , it was an awesome night out
Thanks for the morning fry up too Petra !

Ho ! Ho ! Ho !
