A Tribute




Well there's no excuse for this it's massively uncool to not post something for your best mate, regardless of what happening, so Robbo I'm sorry (I told ya I'm no good at this blogin thing) but I got one thing to say, ya I'm a man of few words, hehehe. for someone who has so many good friends to choose from I'm lucky to have Robbo as a best mate! Merry Chirstmas & Happy Birthday!

Rob and I go way back and there's not much that we an't seen or done together, but this post is all about da Rob da Rob I missed spending his 21st with him and it would've been massive. Rob is the kinda guy that's nigh unto impossible to find these days, so afta reminiscing about all the good times I thought I'd say a few of the things I miss bout biggy Robbo.

mate you've always been there to sort me out when I'm stressed off my nut or trippin bout some girl, and yeah your usually right.
I can't even start about the laughs, Hamish and Andy, Rodney Rude, an't got nothing on ya bro the amount of times you've got me ROFin (rolling on Floor) laughin not to mention everyone else in the room can't be beat although Dave comes second Happy Birthday to you too brotha from another motha!

Robbo's a sincre friend, you've always shot straight with me and done what you thought was best to help when I was going through something, which was usually try to beat me to my senses so I'd stop mopeing. Although we're still toe to toe ay haha except when I'm on crutches, ya snapped me that time!

mate I could go on all day cause the short story is that I don't think I could find a better disciple and friend! thought I'd put some pics up as I was Reminscing about everything we've done so here goes, Love ya my bro.

Anyway thats why I haven't been writing so I'm gunna write alot here and make up for it. no in all honesty its been busy thats why.
Well Christmas this year was a bit differant. First of all moving away, then everything seemed to be rushed for instance we didnt put up our christmas tree till the 23rd, and I did not go christmas shopping even once, believe it or not. I had to do the "I promise to be nice to you all year" thing.
Witnessing was good. our little team got away 2 road trips to PNG and to tassie, and got out there alot and it went great one of the best nights way doing free hugs one evening Which I really like Plenty of fun and good witnessing too.
Also My parents moved away today Which is also a bit differant But I'm very proud of them and will miss them alot Good on ya parents! And also my too little sisters who are tremendously cute and sweet I love you lots.
Um Also I want to throw a shout out to my big brother Davo Its his birthday And I Just love that big fella to bits And I'm sure he's enjoying himself over there And I know the years are just gunna keep getting better and better for you I love you bro.
I guess while I'm here we'll give a shout out to prems brother for his birthday (cuz I know prem won't do it, You forgot didn't you, Didn't you) well sanchos Birthday was on the 25th and So I really hope hes had a great christmas and birthday as well.
Well Its soon gunna be my birthday but I cant write up nice things and put up pictures of myself So....Prem If you would.
ok everyone Well I'm gunna start writing more again. see you soon.
PS christmas food was unreal libby, ruth, heidi, and teri are great cooks I think my 2 brothers have married well so thats a good start hopefully the rest of us will get the same good fortune.
And my sisters are tops as well so any lucky guy out there watch out.
and while I'm on the topic and rambling I might add that I fear finding a wife who can cook well Cuz I fear putting on weight and being FAT. So thats a bit differant ay.
Anyway Merry christmas and a happy new year.

Our fabulous and colourful sporting carrers.


Well well bloggers (hahaha I always wanted to call you that, what a mad name)
I just want to get out here and recap our sporting carrers as thats a massive part of our history.
Well Premlal grew up playing basketball and became quite a good small forward playing junior league in Box hill. Right premo? And I started playing cricket for the hills barbarians As a struggling top order batsman and an opening bowler. After that we began trying differant sports Golf remains a favorite,
We play a bit of soccer but it makes us feel like fags so we've mostly givin it away.
I think we finally found ourselves when we took up Rugby league and realised that being the massive strong men we were we had to play a game that suited our style and body types. So we joined up the one stop club The mighty Sevo Demons and we played with my brother david and my otha best mate samo And loved it. we had never taken such severe beatings but we got used to it and learned to love it. I play center, premlul is a winger, And dave The starting prop and second row and the whole rest of the forward pack, While sam was a great utility and could play any position.
We loved our footy carrer Can't get enough, Plenty of injurys too dislocated knees and collorbones, fractured eye sockets, stitches on the face, and much worse. You should see the other guys!! haha
anyway as well as that we love our other sports and I think I can speak for both of us when I say get off your computers and Playstations get out there have a run and have a go You'll love it.

Heres some pictures that let you know what were talkin about.



You would never believe it but Rugby is the national sport of japan they just love it.

Basket hoop



Us riding scooters for sport (he had to get off for the pic cuz it didnt look AS tough.)





Thats not a sports shot He was just looking for an opportunity to hold his jatz crackers (pretending see?)




Hectic! You wouldnt want to meet that in a dark alley!

backyard cricket, maybe the greatest game ever invented by the great Bill lawry.


A little of Beach volleyball as you can see there is literally fire on the ball as prem serves up.(see the fire?)



Prem and I discussing how on earth we were going to beat the thai people at there own sport...we never did get our heads around capture the flag. We'll get you next time.


There's us dress in our professional sporting gear.




The sport of weightlifting always sat well with premo... He's a monster...Yeah I don't talk back.


me and prem were having girl problems as usual So we played a bit of soccer to try and get into their minds, U know it takes one to know one.



We some times got to play sports With all kinds of hectic people and even celebritys!!! (see below)

Thats soccer with STEM. Yeah hes our freind. Yeah mad mates pretty much. Jo kun the great bass man. We can't figure out how they do the things they do but they have our full respect.




Cricket with Micheal piano. Who is a wonderful pace bowler and a stunning batsman. and maybe the greatest song writer of this century


There's another celebrity shot thats young shunkun hiding in the back he was boxing with prem. If your pretty silly and for some reason you don't know who he IS well he's basicly the backbone of the band stem and maybe THE best guitarist we've ever seen As well as a wonderful fellow.. We love you buddy.


Well theres all we got next time we'll do movies!!

A Quiet drink...



Well when getting off PS (for the last time) I decided it has been long enough and while moderation is definitely high on the priority list, celebration was a must. Now while it was great it an’t the same without Robbo who I wish could be here, don’t worry bro I had a few for ya! I know it’s probably not what most people would recommend when getting out jail but I said I’d do it so I did.

Well after scooterin it to the nearest grog shop with my ol’ mate Vinno king killa, we went for a Johnny green, and yes believe it or not the it comes with a souvenir wooden USB stick (I know where else but Asia..) well I don’t mind it and it’s bloody cheap here so it had to be done, and my only regret is that I still don’t have a camera, my phone does the trick. It was a sweet evening with all the crew from back in the day, and it’s probably the first time I’ve had a decent sip with my sistas. Team leader Faith was there and it’s good to renew the drinking buddy friendship, love ya mate!

At the end of the day it was great to be back on it when all else fails keep walkin

history pt 3


Young love Is such a wonderful thing


History Part Three ~ Home Sweet Home and New Loves

Well yes it’s a massive call, but true. Not too long after we returned home, after experiencing the hectic life on the road, and after coming home one thing that we found out is that we really couldn't take care of ourselves! The beds weren't getting made, the clothes were not folded, the breaky was burnt, and nothing seemed to be going right. And one day after finding a two week old basket of wet laundry under the bed. (Prem! You were suppose to hang it!) It was the last straw we talked about it and decided the only thing to do was to settle down and get girlfriends, and well that’s exactly what we did.
THE GIRLFRIENDS
Two darling girls had just moved in, Mari and Shanthi, and try as they might, our charms and overall natural sweetness shone through, And lucky for us they were head over heels for us already and It took us all of 43 seconds To convince them that we were the men for them.
from then on it was no more rowdy late nights with the boys, we were now faithful and caring BFs. It was going great, breakast was always on time and tasted great, the wrinkles were disappearing from the clothes, they were even massaging the knots out of our backs like experts. and this period included some of the craziest, and certainly the best times of our lives,we were together for a long stint of almost 2 years but it was soon to end unexpectedly.
We hit some hard times, They are very attractive girls and we always found ourselves fighting off the other fellas (of course it didn't help that they were inviting them!!! haha jokes) But we were not perfect either. and try as we might our old habits crept back in and Shanthi and Mari were soon finding it hard to put up with our bad behaviour and unreliability, and after many chances they finally had enough and left us! Needless to say we were shocked and shattered, It took weeks to get over it. in time we realized the error of our ways but it was too late as they had moved on to bigger and better things,(Men) thankfully we made up with them and are bestys friends to this day. We love you girls. We know you have your own side to the story but this is OUR blog... And that's the way WE remember it, so i hope you enjoy. Lots of love
Rob and Prem (yeah we wrote this one together).

History part 2.
European summa!
Well I was sitting around talking with my brother and a few other people about mine and Prems European summer adventures.
Well it happened In May 2005 I was 17 and premlal just turned 18.
My older brother was over in South Africa and He was about to take a summer witnessing trip up to Europe with a wonderful team of people that have been going along time and are still going, Good on em.. And all of the sudden out of NOWHERE, He writes and invites me and prem to go with him and the team he was on!!!
Needless to say we were overjoyed and excited, and in whirlwind 2 weeks we bought our tickets got our passports and anything else we needed and headed for Ireland. We never would have expected the kinds of stuff we had in store for us and if we did I'm not sure if we would have gone, Prem maybe, But I probably woulda dogged it.
First stop in Ireland we stayed in a hostel for over a week, ate Nigerian food and learned to dance like a couple of fairy's. (no the dancing was unreal, We had a great dance teacher and It was mad fun to learn a bit). The dancing was learned so we could preform on the streets but I'm afraid my, and I dare say prems talent was limited. And we never performed.
It was not long till we were sent on our first road trips where we would go out and witness, and through that find places to stay and food and transport. (well I can't tell you prems side of the story but as far as mine goes) My lovely partner Vicky and I Took off for the first time we were thinking of where to go and we both thought of Kilkenny. A southern Irish town (I thought of it because of the beer and she was thinking of the south park character. I guess the lord works in mysterious ways)
Anyway that trip kicked off the European summer for me and from that time on we were basically out on our own in the world for almost 4 months. I wouldn't have time to tell the whole story In fact I wrote an essay on the trip when I got back that was almost 30 pages!! ( a massive effort for me as anyone who know me could say) But Prem and I traveled all over Ireland, Northern Ireland, Took a boat to Scotland, a Plane to Germany, Hitched to Switzerland. And from there it was any which way you felt you should go on the day We both went to France, Slovenia, Croatia, Netherlands, Austria, Italy and back to London before flying out. Our goal was witnessing at different events and We were able to attend everything from Golf tournaments to rock concerts and even gay parades. I even worked a small stint with the red cross.
We slept in places ranging from 5 star hotels to bus stops, petrol stations and homeless shelters.
Even an Ice rink
We ate sometimes In expensive restaurants and plenty of other times we didn't eat at all.
We did plenty of other cool stuff Like travel in new BMW's and Jaguars on the Auto barn at over 200 Kph, Went swimming in the Mediterranean sea and all other kinds of lakes and rivers Slept in a nuns convent. Got stranded on a mountain in Switzerland, And so much more each of those would be story on there own (and we'll gladly tell you... just ask.). But in the end We made it back to Australia alive and we both will always look back on that trip as about the most interesting, toughest and also probably the funnest times in our lives.







I Think our only regret Is that neither of us brought a camera.







But I hope u enjoy the pic's that other people took... Even though there arn't many.








Ps. Prem if you want to add some of your adventures. Just edit the post and add it We'd all love to see.


Well here goes... I agree with Rob somethings you would never purposely do but it was a awesome summer, I first went on the road with an American named Becs, who fully sick guitarist, but unfortunately, for me, she didn't take to Aussie humor too well, but despite that we got a long just great. We simply looked at a map prayed and pointed, we then found ourselves headed to Bre' a little town about an hour south of Dublin. It turned out to be a bit of a mission to hitchike there and we didn't get there till 11pm, we found a placeto stay with an ex trucky and at first it was a bit teriffing but it was more me trippin than anything else, ha.
After that the rest is a bit of a blurr, love tearin down the AutoBarn in Germany.
Well that's it for now I thought I'd share a few things that we (or me) learnt not to do (well that depends on who you are and what your doin ha)

A few things not to do

Trust asain stewardesess (window seat yeah right, and where is my bag!! Thats right I still hate you..)

Go running on a ice ring during a big night out sorry steveo

Carry a pot full of burning oil

Climb forbidden mountains in Baden Baden Germany

trust Itaians, Indians, and people wearing Turbins

I just thought of one other thing that was hilari at the time and that was when I took a boat to Scotland and headed for the train station in Edinbourgh, this was the very day that the tube bombings happend in England. I was simply chillin while the two girls I was with took off to find a youth hostel or something, I was sitting there watching our bags and a few of the others on the team kindly left their bags with me as well, next thing I know sirens are going off, ppl are running around screamin and yellin, (well not really but I thought it would add sum intrige) a few police vans pull up and and out pours police, and the bomb squad, robot and all. I suddenly realised that things weren't looking to good for me, there I was wtih about 15 bags all alone out the front of the station, the police took one look at me and I knew I was in for it ha. fortuneatly I wasn't a terrorist ( yeah I was relived to find that out about myself!) and although at first they were a bit weary and shot off some questions about how well I know my friends and their bags, as soon as they realised that I was from Australia and not Iraq, Iran, and one the the Korea's it was all sweet had a good chat and they even helped me move all the bags to saftey in case the train station blew up!

well hope you enjoyed it.
