Hi there Aman and Kirsty. I am pleased to see you two hitting it off and enjoying the teaching. Spoke to your mummy the other day - thanks to you both for helping us in the little crisis. Hope you both have a good time in Hong Kong - and be careful!!! Kirsty look forward to seeing you when we come over for our hols at Easter.

Hoping to see you soon with mom and pav during easter holidays. When are you off to Hong Kong and what kind of electronics good deals do you think you can get out there?

Hey all! This is Kirstys, Aman's gap partner here. Just a little note to say we're having a fab time and Aman's been filling me in, big time on all of the craaazy things you guys got up to in your school. I've heard some highly amusing stories about ya'll + really wana meet you to put names to faces. We're both trying to pick up some Bahasa Sign Language but while Aman's almost fluent already, I'm still working on the alphabet! She keeps scaring the bejeezes outa me- ie last night it our room we hada meega huge grass hopper- and i mean huuuge. Anyway- it dive bombed Aman and her scream echoed off the walls, was actually really amusin at the time.
Can't wait to go ona shopping spree together in Hong Kong- lovin Aman's style. Gona go for a decent boogie as well, since just now me + Aman are just shaking out booties to my ipod in our room.
Aman's totally gona read this and say "whateva"- hehe.

Ahoy mi amigos!

Aman - just read ur postcard, very interesting and descriptive! u seem to be doing a lot for a teacher, u'll exhaust urself out! (maybe u've got inspirations, seeing Mr Gale running up and down the school and the 6th form trying to catch mischiefs every day:-) ). hey - if u dont mind me saying, i think i disagree a bit with u keeping ur deafness a secret, no? maybe keeping it a secret for a while, but do let the kids know sometime that u have the same "problem" as them. u'd be a great role model, better than being a Bollywood star! :-)

Andre - was awful to c piccies of u beard-less! u looked wikked wiv d beard - very travelling-ish! hope u'll get it grown back again, although maybe not as long as the last time! can imagine the horror Lisanne experienced when trying to find ur mouth for a kiss :-)

we've just all come bk to sheffy last week, we've made the most of the time left before uni starts this monday, by hitting bars all over sheffield in the week, and went to check out Manchester nitelife last nite, down the bars in Gay Village, where Ant got several admirations and bum-pinching when he went down strutting his stuff on d dance floor topless! heh! (he'll kill me for saying this, although i dont think he checks this website often enough :- ))

We've organised an houseparty, which i wish u all could be here, as the theme for the party's "round the world on saturday night!"! ppl'll have to dress up as non-british, which should be a good laugh! Mr Gale - no, u aint invited!

look fwd to ur next postcards and photos installments! cant wait to go travelling again, hopefully next summer!

Embles xxxxxxx

Haha about the Victoria postcard Semhar! Still is No1 joke! Was great reading them, certainly brings back memories *sighs blissfully*. Andre, your climbing pictures look the bomb, especially the 'prof' one with you hanging on your rope at sunset. As for my news, its all in the postcard section. Now heading back to SMK DPM with Georgie and Catherine, Asrama kids are excited to meet them. x

Hey andre!!!! the Krabi pictures of the climbing looks THRILLING! shortly after i came back home from malaysia, only to find out my younger bro taking up 'rock' climbing. you know those wall thingy u practise ur climbing on. i know u'll be gng 'phat, thats easy!' :p anyway, he says he enjoys climbing and i passed on the info that u're a cool climber, gotta get him to check out the website! however he managed to drag me along to climb those walls. and i have to say altho it's only a wall but it's brill fun!!! it's different from the real thing of course! can understand why u're an adrenaline junkie :p

anyway... how's it going in krabi? was it easier to find climbers than u expected? still enjoying the hot weather? i bet!!!! i will kill to stay in hot weather all year around! froze my arse off today at work!!!!! with powerful gales!

gotta go... take care of urself! enjoy climbing. see you around soon.

Hey you lot! Hope you are all enjoying yourselves wherever you all are. Happy belated New Year!! Just got back from Cancun, Mexico, had a brilliant time there seeing in the New Year! We all finally got a taste of the sun like you have been! Sent you an email Aman today.

With love, Jessica x

i have updated Thailand images, so check it out. Andre

Lastest news on the Malaysia postcard as it would have taken up far too much room on the messageboard as you all know me, I do tend to waffle. Bet some of you are rolling your eyes, you know who you are :p! Just keeping you filled in. Updated various photos from KRisty's (the kids seem to call her that instead of Kirsty, lol) camera. For those of you who wonder - Edward, this to-be Oxford student and I'm telling you, he is typically an English gapper with a proper posh, articulated accent that we find ourselves rolling our eyes every time he talks! But a nice gentleman at heart. Will take more pictures of SMK Datuk Peter Mojuntin once I get a digital camera, maybe from Hong Kong as they've got tons of gadgets there so watch this space! :) x

Heh! I think you meant Lisanne! Anyway am flattered that you mistook me for her. She's truly well a stunner, yeh! Loved her dress, wore similiar for my school prom, if that counts?! Heh. I remember have met u few occasions like GB v Ireland, as well as several parties before tying down to uni commitments! However great to hear from u, keep those posts coming in! Am enjoying the Thai sun :P For now, mwas xxx
