hi all,

Just a quick shout out for the Borneo Orangutan Survival Project which is really struggling at the moment. You can visit the BBC News website (link below) to see a photo diary from
Nyaru Menteng Orangutan Rescue Project operated by the Borneo Orangutan
Survival Project.

The project desperately needs worldwide support. I can't tell you what will happen to all the orangutans there if the money runs out - believe me, the future is bleak for these animals.

On a happier note, I'm off to New zealand in a day. I've actually started to think about it now! It will be 2 and a half weeks on the go - just what i need. I'll be 13hours ahead of you guys - take note mum (accidental calls at 4.30am makes smithers grumpy)

I finished up at work on friday, so no more modem chat and no more oprah at lunchtimes (so no more chat about serial killers, compulsive liars, and life threatening tumours). I have literally been working and sleeping and that's about it the past week or so. Had a few drinks on the roof last night with zoe, the irish girls and a few guys from the hostel. We played that famous name drinking game thing so i am all clued up on my celebrity names now!

There has been a german girl living on the top bunk all week and she kind of bugs me. She comes in during the night, switches all the lights on, bangs about and talks german down the phone until the early hours. She's also a bit on the large side so everytime she tries to get up the bunk bed ladders it's like an earthquake!! Sorry, i shouldn't be mean but I am seriously sleep deprived and she is to blame!!!!!!

Anyways, got to start sorting out my stuff

take care everyone, and if you get the chance, have a look at the link,

cheers
