OK, well as you can see, I'm back in Singapore. Even though I was happy enough to be leaving a week ago, fate has conspired against me (in conjuction with Qantas) to bring me back. Right now, I should be in Cairns, Australia, but there was some problem with the airplane, and I've been forced to stay overnight. I was not a happy bunny, to say the least. I had been doing so well with no delays ever (seriously), and everything running smoothly, and then I run into a...

So, the tour is over and I've moved on. To be honest, I was happy enough to be leaving Singapore, as it didn't really seem to me to be that great, but I know that some of the other guys loved it. Admittedly, the night safari at Singapore Zoo was fun, but for me, that was about it really. I was sad at leaving the other guys in the group though. Anyway, I left Singapore on Sunday night, flying to Bali. So far, I've been having a good time, doing as little as possib...

Well, I'm now in the island state of Singapore. We got through immigration easily enough this afternoon from Malaysia, and basically I've just been hanging out and relaxing since. I'll probably head into Little India soon and have a look about, but later we'll all be heading to Raffles for the famous Singapore Sling, and then somewhere not so expensive to eat. I'm staying at the Hangout right now (loving the free internet) but tomorrow I'll be heading to Chinatow...

Right, so, here I am in the capital of Malaysia - Kuala Lumpur. Since spending a couple of days in Penang, the group travelled to the cool (cold) Cameron Highlands. Nice quiet little area about 100m above seal level, hence the cold. It was the first time I was trousers since I left home. It wasn't too bad though. Had a great Indian meal on Saturday night, served on no less than a huge banana leaft. Was a very interesting experience to be getting stuck into my foo...

Well, after a week of being in Thailand, I've now crossed in the border into Malaysia. I have to say that I could easily have spent another week or two in Koh Pha Ngan, but it wasn't to be. The diving there on Monday was spectacular, we had two 45 minute dives off the coast of Koh Tao - a whole lot of fun. Oh, and by the way, I found Nemo. Story over. Anyway, after us having a dramatic sea rescue over shark infested waters (the engines on our speed boat gave up a...
