What an odd feeling waking up on the morning of departure. It didn't feel like I'd ever expected. I think the excitement, anxiety, well any feeling at all, was smothered by the focus to get my stuff packed and actually get ready to leave in time. I'd put it off far far to long. We had to get up oober early to attend assembly that morning, so the packing had to wait. We were invited to give a short speech to the school and I made sure to make eye contact with as m...

I worked on my scrapbook and took a dance class this afternoon before heading out with Aman, Cathrine, Pilu and a teacher that used to work in the deaf department called CJ, to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. We chatted abou...

On Friday, we set of for KK quite early so that I could get some photos of KK, save them to CD and get some grub to take to Manukan for our 'big weekend'. All 8 of us met at the port and managed to blag ourselves onto a cheap boat to the island. On arrival, we discovered that there had been a c*** up with our booking.
