2012-01-25T20:56:00.000+13:00

last night we went out for dinner at il mee.

eating my pita for lunch was so painful today, my wisdom tooth is seriously being an asshole. i can open my mouth maybe an inch and then the tooth pinches the side of my mouth. i have to endure this pain until tuesday - the earliest my dentist can see me to remove this douchebag tooth.

playing with kronik outside in the sun is always fun.

nancy made gingerbread. it was my first time trying gingerbread and it was so good.

so happy.

lunch, simmering beef noodle soup from my kitchen.

i was so happy to find a can of wong lo kat to drink!

bob's cushion fortress.

the great clearaway

2012-01-06T22:07:00.000+13:00

today i spent most of the afternoon at the hospital.

most of the time i was just checking out my hairy sexy sexy legs. LOLOLOL JK, not most of the time. some of the time.

(i wasn't the one that needed medical attention)

later on, after days of procrastinating, i decided to try to clear my room of unwanted clothes to give to charity.

oh hey messi shirt. previously i couldn't see this framed awesomeness on account of a stack of clothes that piled up in front of it.

after two hours i found myself with 2.5 black rubbish bags full of clothes. to give away. then a scab asked for them...

i bought a vertical shoe rack. it was very cheap and very plastic. i had to use duct tape to secure it lol.

sandie got back from her holiday in sydney.

look at the goodies she got me!!!

a bottle of coke!

personalised coke!!!

and more random stuff.

amber looks like a mushroom.

cake!!!

dinner at nandos.

the playground

2012-01-02T23:58:00.000+13:00

i caught up with han over skype and remembered i haven't been back to the thai restaurant near his old place which he liked.

so i took laura there for dinner.

dessert!

there's really only one reason i go to the warehouse: toys!

i never knew i would have so much fun in a kids playground area.

this puzzle on the wall kept us busy for a bit.

and then we caught up with everyone else to watch mission impossible 4. you'd think after 4 movies they'd just rename the series to mission very possible instead...

2012

2012-01-01T17:54:00.000+13:00

happy new year everyone!

spent new years eve at fahad and anna's place.

since i officially got back home yesterday, it was secret santa and dinner times at ray and nancy's tonight.

carrot cake.

even when i am home fat casey is still fat...

the getaway to rotovegas

2011-12-27T11:20:00.001+13:00

i got a pretty awesome christmas present.

BOOM!

on sunday we drove down to rotovegas.

the distinction.

i think i'm getting sick of all the buffet breakfasts at hotels now...

skyline times!!!

short legs are short! teehee ;-)

they had this motion master flying saucer type ride up here. 4D isn't all it's cracked up to be...

japanese for dinner.

my luggage finally got found, processed and delivered back to me. this is most of the stuff i was more concerned about - people's chocolates and presents.

i hate the dallas airport

2011-12-24T18:56:00.003+13:00

my last breakfast at the double tree before i started my crazy journey back home.

san jose airport. so far so good.

but then as soon as i landed in dallas, i was screwed and the situation went something like the following rage comic i made:

yup that's right. at the dallas airport i was stuck for 3 hours in a fucking stupid processing queue to get into america. there were over 300 people waiting in line and they only had 6 queues for people to go through processing. dallas airport, fuck you people. go back to uni and learn about queueing theory. even i studied queueing theory at uni. i fully blame you assholes for me losing my luggage. i better get my luggage back because my luggage was filled with christmas presents for people and my awesome clothing.

when i realised i missed my flight, i actually had a panic attack. i've never been in this situation before and i needed to be in la to catch my 10pm flight. i was very thankful that the couple behind me also missed their flight. well i wasn't thankful that they missed their flight, but they were in the same situation as me, and they were used to it and helped me through my anxiety.

i should've really asked for their names. all i knew was that she was palestinian and her husband was greek and they were headed to washington d.c and they were awesome. they even gave me a gift in the short 3.5 hours we were together before we had to catch our respective planes.

some people in this world give me hope. some people need to go back to uni to learn about efficiency. seriously. fucking useless people need to understand that before and after christmas are heavy travelling days. airports, account for that shit please.

when i arrived back home this morning at 9, i went out to do a few things.

one of those things was to buy a new digital camera to cheer myself up after this whole airport debacle (i don't think i will be flying anytime soon. well not to the states anyway).

thanks gaz, for hooking me up!

the sony tx10.

anyway, i hope everyone has a very merry christmas. except for the fuckers at the dallas airport, but this excludes my lifesaving checkin lady. i <3 you.

pura vida costa rica

2011-12-21T20:29:00.000+13:00

today's my last day in costa rica before i shoot off back home.

cakes!!!

lunch at la candelaria with a great group of people.

the candelaria lunch special.

i decided to have dessert with my dinner.

i like club sandwiches.

i think i will miss costa rica. the people are awesome, the food is delicious and the sights and sounds are spectacular.

maybe next time costa rica, maybe next time we can meet again <3

my maid

2011-12-20T20:42:00.000+13:00

so i noticed something last night after i had blogged. the picture frame sitting on my bed was actually a present from my maid.

how do i know this? i flipped the frame around and saw a personal message from her! (it was in spanish so i had to use google translate in order to decipher her message)

so i folded her some roses, wrote her a 'thank you for cleaning up after me because i know i am a slob' note and left her a hefty tip.

lunch today, quiznos with papa fries!

i leave costa rica this thursday, and i had a crap ton of coins.

SPEND ALL THE COINS AT THE VENDING MACHINES!!!

i seriously love laundry service here, even though it's very very expensive...

bowling for fun

2011-12-19T19:59:00.000+13:00

cafeteria food lol.

this afternoon we all went bowling.

i needed something healthy for dinner so i ordered a cesar salad with chicken again.

i seriously like coming back to my room to see the surprises my maid leaves me.

casey vs the empty gym

2011-12-18T17:56:00.000+13:00

so this whole time calvin and i had thought that the gym in the double tree was actually closed for rennovations.oh how wrong we were...

when i went to get a massage last night, i found out that the gym was indeed open.

so i decided to burn some fat.

after running/power walking for an hour my body was naturally wanting to shift forward.

salmon sandwich with fries and oj.

more britt chocolates.

fritos!

wow, the new blogger layout is seriously shithouse and i can't revert back to the original...

costa rican relaxation

2011-12-17T22:20:00.000+13:00

it started pissing down right before i wanted to leave to buy a few things this afternoon...

so i just ordered lunch while the rain settled down.

and when it cleared up, off i went!

carlos' secret santa present.

so i finally went and got a costa rican massage.

it was a hybrid stone/shiatsu/swedish massage.

when it came time to pay i had another freak out moment just like when i arrived at the double tree, except this time i didn't have calvin to bail me out. charge it to the room ftw!

when i got back to my room i called up my bank to find out the problem. the problem was user error - the lady at the counter of the massage place didn't know how to work credit card machines. i guess she really was there just to look pretty...

the arroz con leche taste test

2011-12-16T20:08:00.000+13:00

once in a while you just miss having the food you grew up eating, so you just go out and get it. even though it wasn't made by the traditional people...

traditional costa rican dessert: arroz con leche.

it's like eating rice in a sweet sauce.

sitting in my office in my hotel room when suddenly i ponder; i'm missing something...

i think i have already cycled through the room service menu...

seafood fettuccine.

my maid is creative

2011-12-15T19:27:00.001+13:00

kfc is awesome here. i kid you not.

they have a great wok here.

puppy husky.

so i got back to my room and this was waiting for me.

sweet dreams on my king size bed indeed.

and in the bathroom!

i think i will need to leave my maid a nice tip.

steak sandwich for dinner.

this new blogger layout for blogging is somewhat weird to adjust to...

casey vs the ribs

2011-12-14T19:13:00.000+13:00

for some reason i felt like ribs tonight. so casey got ribs.

so i cut up the ribs, and smashed them down like a madman, saucy sauce all over my face.

christmas has come early for me then? possibly...

big belly without a worry.

the caesar

2011-12-13T18:58:00.000+13:00

i had a visitor this morning in my bathroom.

he was on my ceiling and then the floor.

as restaurante chicken for lunch.

lolly.

this was a pretty awesome christmas tree.

i decided to have a light and healthy dinner tonight, chicken caesar salad.

push button, receive bacon

2011-12-12T18:48:00.000+13:00

lololol ordering kfc this time round without any idea of what i was ordering but still getting what i wanted.

i finally found one of those machines that when pressed, you receive bacon.

the chicken breast is always cooked slightly dry here at the hotel.

but then why am i complaining when i am living it up here? because, first world problems. i am such a dick.

the columbians

2011-12-11T19:41:00.001+13:00

i woke up at 11am today. best sleep in ever.

lunch, cuban sandwhich with fries.

javier picked me up and we went to his columbian mates place for drinks and food.

these guys seriously know how to drink.

so the firewood used to make the soup was actually from the house they are tearing down.

jorge showing me how its done. columbian style.

the soup contained beef, pork, chicken, corn, potatoes, plantain, and a few other things native to central america.

imperial.

serving dinner.

delicious food is delicious.

this fruit is kind of like passionfruit. but much more sweeter and expensive...

drinking basically started from 4 till 7.

pura vida la paz

2011-12-10T19:29:00.001+13:00

today i went to the la paz waterfall gardens.

i seriously get amazed with costa rica every day. this place is amazing and beautiful.

birds.

butterflies.

a butterfly landed on me.

white faced monkeys grooming one another.

snakes!!!

buffet lunch.

so calvin told me about how everything at la paz is themed. even the toilets.

these are the taps.

turn the rock on the right and tada!

this jaguar wouldn't keep still for a photo...

TO ARMS MY STEEDS!!!

frog.

onto the waterfalls!

templo waterfall. 26m.

magia blanca waterfall. 37m.

dinner, jumbo shrimp with risotto.

just in case

2011-12-09T19:38:00.000+13:00

in case of emergency...

carl's jr for lunch.

yup, it tastes better than the one in nz.

beef tenderloin with veggies for dinner.

jumbo xl mega

2011-12-08T19:09:00.000+13:00

this is the view i have everyday when i have my baller breakfast.

i managed to order kfc today by myself. partly in spanish, partly in pointing and partly in pretending to understand full on spanish.

the kfc here is awesome. it's not really junk food like.

bbrrrrooommmm bbbrrrrooommmmm toot toot!!! this will be as close as i will get to being behind the wheel here in san jose.

i managed to get myself some tamale. it's like a celebratory type of food here in costa rica for christmas. it's very similar to zhong zi as well.

it's so good!!!

i got given a christmas gift. i think i have a man crush with costa rica and it's people. seriously.

an elephant greeted me when i got back to my hotel room.

room service.

so good...

itching for ichiban

2011-12-07T18:24:00.000+13:00

a bunch of us went to a japanese place called ichiban for lunch.

massive lunches are massive...

i have to say, it was pretty awesome. awesome sushi made by costa ricans.

we smashed down that feast like kings.

the hairdryer

2011-12-06T19:48:00.001+13:00

the hairdryer smelt kinda funny today...

went to an american burger place for lunch.

bbq chicken burger.

drunkenness prohibited.

chicken breast with passionfruit sauce.

it's like food is attracted to me, or vice versa

2011-12-05T19:20:00.002+13:00

lunch at la candelaria. the lunch special with cas.

brownies with ice cream and a really random tiramisu. but it was tasty nonetheless.

so never get the xtreme chili buffalo wings flavoured pringles. why? because it tastes like someone jizzed salt and hot sauce into your mouth. disgusting.

maybe i can use the pringles as a trail marker if i get lost at la pas this weekend...

snickers mini's however, are awesome. eating so many mini snickers gives me the illusion of being full from eating so many of them. actually, it's not an illusion. i need to stop being a fatty.

i like the laundry service here at the hotel. it's like i am a kid again opening presents teehee!!!

exploration casey

2011-12-04T15:47:00.002+13:00

i need to stop taking pictures of my breakfast, cause it's basically the same thing i eat everyday here.

ok last photo of breakfast unless i get something else...

i went for a bit of an exploration around the hotel today. (basically i didn't want to be in my room when the maids come to clean it etc. that would've been awkward...)

this highway comes between me and the local shopping mall.

carousel in the middle of the mall!!!

yes, i went to every toy shop there was in the mall. casey loves looking at toys.

umm... yeah... ra.pe clothing???

then i went for a walk around the flashier parts of the housing areas.

a bottle of coke here costs more than a big mac in nz. true story.

dinner, glorious seafood fettuccine.

cariari comfort

2011-12-03T20:45:00.000+13:00

so at the hotel i am staying at, the doubletree cariari by hilton, there are always events going on. eddie, the resident bar manager told me that tonight, there was an avon event so there are 600 women dressed up all hot and what not attending.

then he said i would probably be the only guy here at the bar.

dO_Ob||||!!!

i kinda lol'd to myself because i went down all shaggy looking, in shorts, a shirt and the room slippers because i was too lazy to put shoes on, having my doubletree special hamburger dinner at the bar.

today was actually my lazy day. i don't think i've had a proper rest since i got here late two friday nights ago.

even though i don't speak spanish, i managed to find that one channel which had dramatic soap operas on 24/7.

i remembered there were a few american shows which had the same scenario going on, unable to understand what's going on in the show but you keep watching and kind of understand what is happening and it becomes captivating.

WHY WON'T ANYONE JUST LOVE HOTNESS FOR WHO SHE IS??? TEAR/CRY...

i just food

2011-12-02T19:24:00.000+13:00

i thought these were gummy bears, but they were panda bears...

i went to a food court at a shopping center to get chinese food made by costa ricans.

and then suddenly the power died in the whole mall. it's a pretty massive mall too. what happens when the power dies? close up shop and go home.

this is the picture on the wall in my hotel room.

it's quite serene.

dinner at the bar.

shrimp quesadillas.

the 3 course standard

2011-12-01T23:18:00.001+13:00

i could get used to having crispy bacon and eggs with toast breakfasts easily...

chicken and beef combination quesadilla with hot sauce on the side.

centenario rum and cola.

since calvin and phil are leaving me tonight, we decided to have a 3 course dinner.

ceviche de pescado but in a different take.

calamari and onion rings.

this was the first time i'd ever had seabass, and it was sooooo tasty!

i forget what this dessert is called, but it was awesome!

poolside.

lol burnt almond dark.

calvin gave me all his coins...

inka

2011-11-30T23:33:00.000+13:00

today javi took us to his favourite peruvian restaurant inka for lunch. seafood is their specialty.

ceviche de pescado.

tiradito de pulpo.

cazuela de mariscos.

that was some seriously awesome seafood!!!

pretty sure bash would love this heavyweight shop.

phil shook my naranja...

cc and dry at the bar. i love it when there's more cc than dry.

grilled salmon wrap.

i had a taste of costa rican football tonight. i gotta say, it's on another level and i am loving it!!!

time for casey to up his game.

so i got told that shorty is now engaged!!!

congrats and also; about time!!!

ribs ribs ribs

2011-11-29T20:14:00.000+13:00

this sign made me chuckle like an idiot.

click the following picture for panoramic goodness.

lol i found an ae86 in costa rica!

choco roles.

tonight it was bbq buffet for dinner.

i went for seconds on the ribs. mmm ribs... soooooo gooood!!!!

and then a slice of pecan pie and a banana for dessert.

i can still smell the ribs on my fingers.

spoilt casey is spoilt

2011-11-28T20:42:00.000+13:00

so for lunch we went to this place which was formerly a house turned restaurant.

pollo salsa de hongos.

so finally, after 3ish weeks, off comes the mo.

but not before i played around with it.

clean shaven ftw!

here in costa rica, i am seriously just spoilt.

check out the buffet dinner.

i will come back fat. this is fact.

casey y costa verde

2011-11-27T23:16:00.005+13:00

so we all went to costa verde for the weekend.

awesome old school telefono.

the falls hotel.

lunch.

we went to manuel antonio national park.

howler monkeys.

beaches here are soooooo awesome.

so we went to this buzzy restaurant called el avion.

it's basically a massive plane inside a building.

inside the airplane is a bar.

costa rican beer, imperial.

an awesome chicken breast with rice dish.

the pool at the falls hotel.

white faced monkeys on the roof of the falls.

mid world is so awesome.

the weetbix challenge / the happy shot

2011-11-25T16:06:00.000+13:00

i partook in a threesome weetbix challenge today. however many weetbix you can finish in 2.5 minutes.

this is the second time i've had weetbix.

bob and fahad had bought fireworks off a daily deal site.

i found 6 year old fireworks in my magical cupboard so i brought those along to see if they still worked.

most of my fireworks still worked lol.

i think bob and fahad got ripped with their fireworks. they were particularly tame.

shooting roman candles out of the treehouse.

oh hey jas, how does it feel to be mistaken for a fresh asian person just so johnny banks can whore votes on tv from the chinese community?

too bad i'm not really that interested in rugby...

framed messi

2011-09-26T20:30:00.001+13:00

so after more than a year of leaving my messi shirt in my cupboard, the guys got me a gift certificate at factory frames so my procrastination of framing it myself ended suddenly.

after a week, my shirt was ready to be picked up from the shop:

i have to say, it's a pretty awesome sight.

the frame is actually really heavy. i will have to figure out how to approach hanging this on my wall.

but seriously, score!!!

NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM!
