Pattaya, Thailand June 2007

Went off to Pattaya, Thailand last week to attend David Cavanagh's 3 days Internet Workshop at the Leelawadee Lagoon Resort. All up there were 62 attendees from Australia, UK, USA, Singapore, Malaysia, Bangkok and Indonesia. The youngest being 15 years old and the oldest was Ivor who is 73 years old. My head was spinning with lots of ideas and proposals for more ways to make money on the net. Internet business and marketing is the way of the future now. Just spending the 3 days with David and the other presenters on how they got started and also with networking with the other graduates, the future prospects are endless. Proposal of joint ventures with others maybe on the pipeline too.

Ben Waldeck, one of the presenters and me being silly when our photo was being taken by Marie-Lise.David Cavanagh in action!!!!. A very humble man and excellent coach. The whole process was taught step by step and easy to follow methodology and this has definitely broken down any myths about the whole Internet Business and Marketing being only for the experts and professionals. Given the right education and tools, anyone can succeed. Right on!!!!! Met up with David's lovely family as well.

It wasn't just all work and no play, which would make Alice a very dull person indeed!!!!!. Had a free morning beginning of the workshop and Marie-Lise and I head off to the Elephant Village to do a trek.

The Elephants are magnificent animals, so gentle and so graceful. We spent about an hour on the elephant trek going thru the stream and treking along the jungle path. With the gentle breeze blowing and the serenity of peace and being with nature, there is nowhere I rather be but here.

We then went for a 15 minutes walk thru the jungle trek and there were 3 friendly gibbons by the name of Patrick, Tony and Koko and they love clumbling on the tourists. Marie-Lise has Patrick (black) on top of her shoulder and Koko is firmly attached to her left leg. Hahahaha!!!!!!!! They are so cute and also very naughty as they like snatching caps, sunglasses and cigarettes. One of the American tourist gave Patrick a bottle of "Red Bull" drink. Boy he was already a hypo gibbon, we didn't stay long enough to see the effects after. I don't think that was a very good move on his part. Hmmm!!!!! Check out the video clip on the gibbons at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glNBZKsOvs4

Then we went on the oxen cart ride back to the Village for lunch. Then we had to rush back to the resort for the start of the Workshop. Talk about cutting things too fine. We made it though with 5 mins spare. David is very strict on starting time. The next 3 days were full on at the workshop. We had an extra day spare in Pattaya to visit the Tiger Zoo.

Feeding the tiger cub was an experience. He was so cuddly and very hungry as well. Holding him reminds me of my three babies back home. Missing them lots and can't wait to get back home to cuddle them all.

Notice the baby croc on top of my head. Also I got to aid the birth of a baby croc. See the video below:



Here I am being brave with the Scorpion Queen and her subjects. I have two scorpions on my top and one on the inner right arm. Mind you I was standing pretty still and there were no sudden movement on my part!!!. Not too sure if I am brave or just plain silly. But it was fun anyway.

Me and a couple of young organ utan mucking around on the swing. Which of the three is the good looking one????? I reckon the one with the red shirt!!! Check out the video I took at the Sriracha Tiger Zoo at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO3_49UQ4ik

Then the last night at Pattaya, we went to see the Transvestite Alcazar Cabaret. The production was excellent and very classy. The "girls" were so beautiful and so sexy. It is amazing what "nip" and "tuck" or shall I say "snip" can do to enhance a person's external features. Check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pt3xlQt00A

Antarctica

After the South America trip in Feburary, Madventure presented the next adventure to Antarctica in 2008. I put up my hand to go...even though I really do not like the cold at all but what an opportunity to be at the bottom of the world. I then went to a Money Master 2007 seminar in April and there was another adventure group going in December 2007 - wow having Christmas in Antarctica. So I brought forward my plan to two months earlier to go to Antarctica.


Unfortunately after working out the costs and also the time factor, it just was getting too expensive during the festive and high season on flights and accommodation. And also it would been too hectic and rush for me because it would only be only 3 weeks after my trip back from India. So I am now back with Madventure. Maybe it was just meant to be. So instead of having a white Christmas in Antarctica in 2007, I will have a white Valentine's Day in Antarctica in 2008. Geez, two years in a roll having Valentine's Day in exotic places - 2007 on Sun Island in Lake Titicaca and 2008 Crossing the Drake Passage in Antarctica.

Brrr..... it will be an experience of a lifetime. The journey will be for 11 days and then it is off to Easter Island to thaw out and get some sun and work out on tanning ourselves. It will be awesome to see the mystical head sculptors on the island and then off to lovely exotic Tahiti. Hopefully I get to have some romance!!!!!!

Melbourne Trip

I flew down to Melbourne for 3 days to visit mCorp Property Sourcing to arrange to view some apartments for investment. It was quite an experience. This is my first ever interstate property investment deal. I put an offer in for a 2 bedroom apartment in Northcote which is a northern suburb 4km from Melbourne CBD. So am waiting to hear back from the agent soon.


After that, it was a day of sight seeing in the CBD and also to visit all the hiking and camping place in Little Bourke St to get a pair of water proofed hiking boots for my Antarctica trip. Found a pair of Salomon hiking boots for a special price of $129 which normally retail for $329. Bargain!!!!!!!

Then it was off to find the infamous "Koko Black" cafe which serves anything chocolate. The melted hot chocolate drink was ......DIVINE!!!!!!




Caught up with Brad senior and junior - dad and son team which I met at the South America trip earlier in Febuary. It was great to see my 'toy boy' again. I really missed him and in the space of 4 months, he has grown almost a head taller than me. Either that or I am shrinking rapidly.
Also caught up with Abby, who joined us at Rio de Janiero earlier this year. We had teppanyaki at Chinatown and what a crackup with flying bowls, being bombed by omelets and fried rice. What a reunion night!!!!!
Then it was off to desserts at a favourite waffle joint of Bradley junior. We ate and ate until we had tummy ache. We are pigs...both myself and Bradley but boy did we enjoyed ourselves!!!!

I love Melbourne and it is a city that I will return to again and again.
