Johals, thanks for your messages and I'm missing you all so much. Even the kids at DPM are too *chuckles*. As for things at my end, it has been hmm....interesting! Be prepared to read it all in the postcard section. Mum, not to worry, knowing me by now, I'm a tough cookie x

Hello there (not so much of a baby girl) as I realised. Back in Brum, the weather is a little warmer, but I am still trying to get over my Jet Lag. Thank you for a lovely time in Sabah. It was great to see you looking so well and enjoying your time there. We were very impressed by the way you have taken on this challenge. it was clear that the kids adored you, the teachers looked up to you and sought your advice on teaching deaf kids and the local community too embraced you as an important new friend and member. It says a lot about your strength of character, determination and ability to influence. You were obviously a role model for many. Say Hi and thanks to Catherine, Penelope, Kirsty, the staff at Little Italy and Georgie, I hope things have taken a turn for the better now for her. It was also good to meet Kirsty, she is a great girl and her Mum, Fiona and see you getting on so well.

Sabah is a beautiful place so make the most of the rest of your time there - Orang-utan's an all. Pavun said the other day that he was missing you. We looked back over our pictures with Sundeep and told her about your taxi negotiating skills and organising us all. I suspect your in West Malaysia at this moment, having yet more fun.

Your Dad and I have been busy doing all your little jobs and Uni prep. Bye for now, MumXXXX

Hey there darlin'! How are fings over there? Checked out the latest fotos, looks like u had a good chillin time with ur family. Life's been hectic recently, had my 21st with Faye in Nottingham and it was brilliant! Everyone really made the effort with their fancy dress which was good. Went to Dublin and Carlow for easter weekend, needless to say everyone was worse for wear by the time Tuesday came! lol. Gotten to know lots of irish ppl and now have already arranged to meet up with some again in the summer! :-) Me and jess missed our flight on the way back (TRAFFIC!! tut) and ended up in London instead when our original airport was Manchester, ended up being a hilarious trip tryin to get back to sheffield!! Anyway, hope u are well and i will write u an email soon once ive done some revision! I finish uni on the 15th May (earlier than i fort :-s) and lots and lots of work 2 get down to! Lovely (!) Missing u girl xxxxx

I've had a great time in Sabah. All recorded our photos and videos. Loved seeing the kids at DPM, especially Joyce's guitar and the kids singing. Good food, good company, great location and most of all, really great to see you. Healthy, full of beans and looking forward to further travels around the world. Very proud of you given the glowing reports your GAP manager, Colin, Penelope amd Catherine. Lots of lovely shopping and will be seeing from the amount of shopping your Mum has done. Great meeting Kirsty and Georgie and hope to see them in Birmingham one day. Though we're going tomorrow, we'll still be here in spirit with you for the rest of your stay. Lots of love and more, Dad.

Sabah was lovely. I had some fun seeing the orang-utans at Rasa Ria. The best part was seeing Aman and the orang-utans which are my friends. Liked visiting Aman's school, enjoyed listening to Joyce playing the guitar with the deaf kids in Aman's room. I didn't do my homework because I had a writers block. Love you millions. Miss you millions. Bye.

Fresh pics are uploaded x

Lavished in luxury with the family, it sure is great to see them again. The lil monkey(Pavun) is a right chatterbox that he keeps me awake most nights, not bearing in mind that I have to get up early the following morning to go to DPM *chuckles*. Lastest news is now updated online. As for the Irish fellows, hope it was a great craic in Carlow. Who won? For the time being, cheerio :) x

Hey babes!!

Bet you are now enjoying the company of your family now, it'll be a great few weeks for you catching up with them. Everyone's home for Easter now, but moi, got to work in Social Services through easter, lovely!! I;ll email you this week darls.

Missing u xxxxxxxx

Say...this is nice...Don told me about this website...brings back the memories..I taught at DPM for 2 months in 2004...missed teaching there and those kids...

Hello! Long time no hear or see!! *smiling* The photos are great and sounds like you are having the life of your life! Anyway, I can see that you taught the children with the song "Everywhere I go..." as you wrote the words on the noticeboard! Brilliant and I'm sure they will want you to stay there permanently, but hell no cos we the guys in UK missed you badly and we are looking forward to catch up the news with you when you get back! Take care for now xxx *ci-mon*

Girls, thanks for your loved messages. Certainly brings a smile on my face that you are all thinking of me back at home. Missing you all tons but fear not, I'll be back before you know it ;). Miss Amanprit Johal considering teaching as a career? Ha *head tilts back*, I don't think so! Dont get me wrong, I love it but for like a year max, takes heaps of energy out of you. He he he, thanks for sharing your future financial situation with us :p as long as you are living it to the max in London. BEM-har, bet you that as soon as Ill return I wont shut my gob about travelling but it is nice to know that I can share that feeling with someone :). Cheers for the Notts party snaps, you all sure looked like you had a blast in those fanatical outfits. My wee Irish lassies, you sure will be seeing me around Belfast in the summer to *barty barty barty* the night away, no doubt about that! Parents and lil bro are flying out today and will be arriving in Borneo in less than 24 hours *squeals*. Feels like Xmas is coming up for me. The family have been counting down the days :). Spent a while last night making my room spic and span, so Mum & Dad, you better be impressed. Have to admit, am kind of nervous cos it feels like forever since I last saw them and got so much to share that I won't know where to start. Managed to get next week off work, score, afterall a break is well deserved. As for you all, keep smiling cos I know I will :) Warm hugs x
