recap - annex#1
I felt the need to:
1. Make sure Nix wasn't the only one blogging here, and
2. Account for all the KJ disappearances I made throughout Nix's recap
3. Add some other stuff

Tuesday 19th July (2nd one)
I actually didn't get too tipsy at night. I was a bit aggressive after drinking whatever Nix gave me to drink while we were drinking but I don't think I drank anything at Pipeline. It was so crap there - I just talked to some guy who told me he could "do better what any guy could do for me"
Please.
Oh and this girl at Pipeline was blowing smoke into my hair. I was this close to turning around and accidentally ramming my elbow into her face.
Hi. I am Bully Dork. I actually don't think anyone could say that the way Solo says it.
I forgot what "drama" broke loose at the apartment after - but I clearly remember having serious angry words with Mike because he was questioning whether I truly believed I was happy like he knew me or something. Oh... Matt knows me coz I found a plastic cup in my imagination *rollseyes* haha
Wednesday 20th July
Note: Buy your daughter a vibrator, and she's sure to turn into a skank. It probably means you're a skank too... idiots.
Thursday 21st July
I had fun hiking up Diamond Head. It was definately a workout but I felt a real sense of accomplishment when we were at the peak. I reckon I still have flies in my hair.
I still don't know how the girls agreed to Maunawili Falls for the next day - I have a feeling Brockley and Eduardo had something to do with it though............................ hi
Nel's FIRST Disappearance: Nix must've been so drunk coz I walked home with the girls from DDH. I just.... went straight up to the room once we got back to the hotel.
Friday 22nd July
It's VERY hard waking those girls up.
... driving to Pali and Maunawili - I was the undesired shotgun :( haha
Watching Brockley bring drinks up to the 10ft cliff we were sitting on was hilarious.
Rodney is... just hilarious - HIIIIIIIII
Moose's that night was decent. The most unco moment was when I excused myself from dancing with some guy and his friend comes up to me and says "what did my brutha do that you don't wanna dance with him" ummmmmmmmmmmm...... whatever.
Saturday 23rd July
Nix had $14 on her tab at the end of the night... how hardcore.
Apologies to everyone that was on the receiving end of my aggressiveness. And sorry to Nix for physically abusing her when she was only doing what she was told... at least all of Kuhio knew your name that night =]
Sunday 24th July
Brian's so polite... I was charmed at the way he'd always tell us to have a nice night and to be safe.
Monday 25th July
"Aloha from Australia"
That's what we get for being hyper girls!
We spent an hour at Pearl Ridge after Pearl Harbour. 55 minutes of that hour was spent in Hollister. Oh dear.
Royden from Red Lion probably made $10 worth of tips "because he was hot"... well, he wasn't hot... just so cute!
Nel's SECOND Disappearance: Yeh I disappeared. I went back to the hotel and talked to Kalani and Brian until I realised the girls weren't coming back anytime soon so I went upstairs and went to sleep.
Tuesday 26th July
"25 dollars?!?! Whattabout 10?" - Nix
That girl has balls.
... if I have to go to Tahiti to make my ass move like that... I'm THERE!
Nel's THIRD Disappearance: I didn't really disappear. The girls just saw Gibby on the way home and followed him. I spent the rest of the night (before going back to the room) watch Kalani beat Brian in chess. Then Kalani told me crazy stories about his crew.... then I went to sleep.
Wednesday 27th July
Yep, I didn't go to the beach at 7am. Sleep is too mad.
Spent another half hour in Hollister at Ala Moana that afternoon though. Ouch.
I was this close to hitting a girl at D&B for pushing into the line. Too bad she was pretty. Plus... I'm not thug enough to do that.......
Yep... the last night at DDH was good. But I think the smoke got into my eyes too much and I needed to close them... so I went home. Geez I'm a KJ.

I think that's all I feel like writing.

Before I start, let me just say that I had an awesome time.. way more awesome than I anticipated.. I also got to spend time with my two girlfriends who I love dearly *big smiles*

*deep breath*

Tuesday 19th July (1st one)

On the plane, we had heaps of engine trouble which was not reassuring at all.. we amused ourselves by analysing all the dumb photos in the safety manual.. I especially liked the one where it said we werent allowed to bring gremlins on the plane.. that was classic.. Nels favourite one was the one where when there is an emergency suddenly you get super powers and you can miraculously break out of the seatbelt..
After awhile we eventually took off and Nel and I tried to sleep, except we both got hot flushes on different occasions so it was hard to get to sleep.. Nel watched Wedding Date (crap) and I watched Million Dollar Baby (good)
We then landed in Hawai'i.. thenn...
Tuesday 19th July (2nd one)

When we finally cleared customs and all that jazz we went outside for our transfers.. We weren't on the list so we were 'addons' .. did we feel rejected or what.. we waited around staring at the 'Gayle and Tanya' wedding camp.. and finally they shoved us on a bus.. we made our way to our accomodation silently praying that it wasnt as crap as Al made it out to be.. haha.. we finally got

after we 'unpacked' we went to Waikiki beach for some late afternoon tanning and swimming in a beach with a back and forth current and just lazed about.. afterwards we went to the ABC store for some condiments (aka alcohol) for some pre partying drinks..
we then got home.. rested then got ready.. we drank pretty much all our pineapple champagne and vodka after we got ready because we got a bit snap happy.. Finally Solo came and we were on our way to Pipeline in downtown Honolulu

Pipeline was..... not that great.. i think people talked it up so bad that we had great expectations of the place.. so to make a place better than it really is.. what do you do? thats right.. drink some more! Al and I and Nel i think got a little tipsy drunk.. so drunk that I got a new nickname which stuck for half the trip.. but yeh well.. *snort snort* i am a dork.. =D
afterwards we went home.. and all drama broke loose which i feel bad for.. but yeh.. anyways.. we all finally got to sleep around 5 or 6
Wednesday 20th July (h.b TIN!)

When we got home, we found Solomon, Mike and Matt in our apartments.. and they dropped us off at Ala Moana so we could shop a bit.. we got there pretty late so we only had time to eat.. We ate some... pasta which was pretty nice considering we hadn't really eaten the whole day.. so we ate that then went straight home..
feeling pretty useless we decided not to do anything that night either.. and Al had to sleep cos she was verging on like 10 minutes sleep so while she slept, Nel and I watched some good old TV.. we watched something like 3 hours straight MTV.. it was pretty fun.. I discovered my new favourite show.. 'Date My Mom' .. WHAT A USELESS SHOW! the Mums on that show.. can we say gross? After we decided that watching the 3rd episode of 'Room Raiders' was enough, we finally called it a night
Thursday 21st July

We woke early because we didn't really do anything the night before.. and we got ready to go to Diamond Head.. we amused ourselves for awhile taking pictures of 'Aloha- The Bus' signs as well as the touristy photos we're allowed to take cos we're tourists.. We boarded the bus and..... the bus ride i dont remember much.. but i do remember that we didnt know where to get off so when we saw the sign for Diamond Head we got overly excited..


afterwards we went home then went to Ala Moana to attempt to shop again.. We did shop but our feet were so sore because of the climbing of steps and crazy rocks so our shopping finished when Ala Moana closed.. we then went home.. and for some reason we went to Moose's

After we went to Moose's which was rank we went over to Da Dawg House where somehow all hell broke loose and suddenly all five of us were pretty off our faces.. the guys played pool and nearl got beat up for not making a call (which they so badly did) and i made best friends with the lady in the toilet.. we all had fun.. well I had fun.. because I achieved my goal.. hahaha.. okay nobody understands that.. but yeh it was a good night.. Afterwards Brock (William) and Rodney walked us home.. i don't know how nel got up but somehow I only remember the two boys and me and al going home together.. we stumbled off to bed then it was sleepy byes.. actually no! it wasn't sleepybys..
At Moose's we bumped into our old friend Gibson who remembered us.. we went to his hous

Friday 22nd July
Al and I woke to Nels happiness and needless to say.. we were both a little hung over.. not so much puking hungover.. just that gross feeling you get when you KNOW you should've not drank so many vodka redbulls and crazy drinks at Gibby's.. so yeh we made the most of what we had.. i ventured off to Kuhio to buy some shorts and the whole day there i thought I was going to pass out..

We got to the falls and we hiked in mud and tree s



when we finally took the plunge, it was great! we dried off then hiked back and yeh.. it was fun.. we ate dinner/lunch at Maui Taco and .. it was yum.. afterwards they dropped us home and then we went to.. Moose's?
Yeh we went to Moose's .. we usually go there real late with no problem at all but this time there was a massive line because a ship just came in so we had to line up.. it was alright though.. once we got in it was impossible to get a drink so all the drinks i downed i downed on the spot.. but yeh it was a quiet night as nights go in Hawai'i.. Had a little case of deja vu from last year.. ha ha.. oh well.. what a dunce.. after we all danced a bit we headed home and conked out after a crazy day and night..
Saturday 23rd July

After giving up on both tanning and my book, Nel and I watched a couple of guys play footy with a slipper.. and we decided that American Football is crap and we missed our own Footy..

after we got tired of that.. we decided to go home.. well we had no choice because the last bus out of that place was around 5:30.. so anyway we went home, well to Waikiki and bought some chinese and ate that and got an important phonecall haha..
We napped after that i think? and then we got ready to go to Zanzabar that night.. We were waiting for Solo but he wasnt coming.. anyway..somehow Nel and I just left and Al waited for Solo and we went to Zanzabar.. it was a pretty nice place.. not as ghetto as Da Dawg House and not as gay as Moose's.. nel and I started off the night by just purely

well afterwards.. Nel got a bit too drink happy so it was a feat in itself getting her home.

Sunday 24th July
We all woke up and braved the day in front of us.. Nel and I went to the

After we got sick of Kailua we made our way to Kane'ohe MFB where there was supposedly a

after all that strenous activity we needed to eat.. so we ate some subway at

we didnt go out that night so no night paragraph.. i think we just watched full house all night oh and talked to Brian (our favourite concierge) all night
I think this was also the day that we found out how to use our voicemail.. hehehe
Monday 25th July


we bought some food which sustained us barely.. but by far the best waking up remedy was our photos of eachother and in my sunglasses.. if you wanna see them they should be up on Nels IS.. anyway it was finally our turn.. and we went to the memorial.. i don't know about the other girls but i badly felt patriotic.. maybe its cos we were hanging out with Brock and Rodney.. but i just felt so so sad for them.. although i shouldnt have been feeling bad.. anyways we got to the memorial and took our photos and then.. that was the end of our pearl harbour experience!
after that was done.. Nel wanted to do some shopping so we went to Pearl

anyways afterwards.. Al stayed home cos she had to.. (=]) and Nel and I went to the beach and tanned a bit.. well i tried not to because i was so black.. and we went bathing suit shopping.. after that we bought some chinese and went home..

Tuesday 26th July

Didn't get much sleep but that's okay.. mostly did some souvenier shopping at th e internationalmarket place.. IMP to Kalani.. =) it was pretty good.. since we were badly running out of money i had to use my bargaining skills and i reckon they worked.. i got so much stuff for a fraction of the price.. but there were some scary moments.. haha.. all i can do is laugh i guess.. We had to get home early though.. because we were booked in for a luau.. so .. we got ready for that (not really ready cos we ended up wearing what we were already wearing) then we went to waikiki trade centre to board our bus!!
When we got there i didn't know which bus i was on.. so i had to find out.. and found out we were

When that was finished we boarded the party bus again and were the only tightass peop

when we got home.. we got ready to go out again to Moose's but that was such a complete waste of time.. i was so dissapointed because we had had two crap nights in a row and it was our second last night there.. thats TWO outfits wasted.. what is up with that!!!! anyway.. so we g

Wednesday 27th July
Al and I took the bus to Ala Moana beach.. and.. it was so early.. we were one of the only people on the beach.. I only had sunscreen and no tanning lotion for Al and i had no camera battery so all i could do was take photos with my phone.. anyway.. we attempted to sleep which was real hard cos the sun was fierce.. so by around 10am we went to Ala Moana and tried to eat breakfast..

after that we went home and i slept a bit before going out to buy some last minute souveniers with Al and Solo.. we bought dinner then got ready for our last night in Hawaii..
We decided our last night was going to be spent at Dave and Busters.. so we go there.. and there was a long line.. yuck.. we finally got there and i was so surprised cos it was an arcade/bar/club/restaurant all in one place! it was so odd.. anyway we get there didn't really know what was going on and then we see Rodney! Why hello stranger! behind him somewhere was William and yay the night was complete! i felt like such a dork head because they were wearing the shirts we bought them.. haha.. but yeh it was such a cute gesture.. haha.. anyway..
so yeh we were lining up at D&B's to go have some fun but then impatient us just couldnt wait so we ended up going to DDH. So.. 5 people in a car can be tricky in Hawai'i so i ended up travelling on the floor.. which was fine with me.. we got there and.. yeh it was a great night.. vodka redbulls were discounted for the night so.. i was not one to complain.. and.. yeh.. i had my friends all around me.. there were little dramas here and there.. including me getting really infuriated and jealous at one point.. but then i got over it..


Thursday 28th July

*CRY*
we're going back tomorrow. IM SO SAD IM SO SAD IM SO SAD! i slept on the beach today with Aleesuh.. We figured that would be sooo much easier than going back to our stink bomb apartment .. it made soo much sense at the time
Um..... i have nothing to say.... IM JUST SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *CRYNESS*
Tuesday, July 26, 2005
it was sooooo worth it..
We're not losers.. we're not at the internet cafe again.. we havent been here for THREE days man.. although we were all thinking of coming all of those three days.. but we didnt
Days have been long and the nights have been short.. we've been averaging about 3 or 4 hours sleep alot of the days (well I have anyways) and it's pretty crazy.. but at least we're getting the most of our 'Hawaiian Experience'.
What can I say.. today we went to Pearl Harbour (i mean.. Pearl HarBOR.. apologies) and it was okay..... i think it means more if you're american or something because i just felt a pinch of sadness.. although im sure those Americans were feeling big pinches bad.. afterwards we went to Pearl Ridge for some shopping and i swear im in love with Hollister.. they have such nice stuff!
Other than that, we've been out quite a bit.. lots of nights out.. but it balances out too because unlike last year, we've actually been waking up to see the days and we're actually going out.. We went hiking the other day with two of our newest friends and we also went beaching.. it was pretty mad...
okay .. sh*t.. its already been 20 minutes.. ill think of more to write later..
Friday, July 22, 2005
Ummm............................... we went to Diamond Head today. The experience and the view would have been SOOOO mad if it wasn't for bugs and hyperventilating.
Last night we slept. It was the best sleep i've ever had in my whole life (joking.. just the last week) We decided to call it a night after we went to Ala Moana purely just to eat (who ever said that Ala Moana closes at 10pm+ is a LIAR). Nel and I also got sunburnt.. i don't know where that fits into the whole story.. but i wanted to say it
Today after Diamond Head we slept, and now we are going to go shopping yay yay fun a roo.
Umm... nothing much else to report.. ill go look at what the other girls are writing and get some ideas
later DORKS
Thursday, July 21, 2005
PS
Since nels post is killer, im going to write more.
- I hope you ladies like platform thongs, because that's what you're going to get
-I also hope you fellas like sand, because thats what YOUUREE going to get
- And to everyone else.. I hope you like friendship, because thats the best present there is *hugz*
As Nel mentioned, we went to Pipeline last night. It was the superclub of Hawaii. There were breakdancers who liked to take up the whole floor and posers who thought they were the hottest sh*t around.
We have also been sleeping a whole heap and for some reason every time we turn on the television, Sex and the city or Fresh prince is playing. I reckon they are the number one shows in Hawaii because that is all they play. If you think i am joking, that's a pretty loser joke and you all know i make mad jokes
Anyway 20 minutes ahhh!!!!
bye
and theeeeeen
I was trying to sms once I got into the country and the lady at customs told me that she thought I was using my phone to take a picture of her and send it to some assasin to get them to kill her. This was after Nix got chased out of the border protection area by security...
It's been grand.
Spent our first afternoon chilling on the beach then we went to Pipeline in Downtown Honolulu at night. It was aaaaaallrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Slept a bit... but I still feel icky.
Oh yeh... I also saw the glass slipper ladies on the street =\ Remind me never to buy clear plastic platforms.
Last night we also had dinner at a sports bar and watched Australia vs. RSA in Union. Very exciting. Oh and we've been watching Bellande be an a$shole on the World Poker Series. Idiot.
This morning we spent in recovery then Nix and I beached it again and took a walk around Waikiki. We're not in an Internet cafe right now.......................... sorta.
Ok bye!
PS. Nix just said this is the longest blog I've written in ages!
I almost..
.. got arrested during my first 10 minutes in Hawaii. All for my mobile laynard thingy-mi-gig
the end.
(i had no sleep last night.. but that's okay)
