He he he is here! Lol! Have been looking through the deaf camp and east coast photos. They look great! I am so envy of you, cos knowing me I wouldn't able to do those things like being away for a year, and organising a deaf camp for deaf children, I wouldn't cope! - you go girl! I am proud of you, I can imagine how proud Chris is :-)
Things are going crazy here! Got a pile of work to do, its my last project. Busy to sort out for my degree course this September, there are lots of crap forms to fill in! s*** cos I will be in £26,000 debt after the degree, as the course fees is £3000 per year and student loan is £6,000 per year as London is dead expensive argh!!!
I have sent you a very long email last weekend, hope to hear from you again soon.
Takecare Lisa-nne Ho-lly he he he!

Aman, am so sorry for the silence, I have been sorting all this portfolio stuff for job hunting & finally found some good looking uns. However like Cat said, Notts will be an opportunity to really let our hair down *big time style*. Fret not, I will def be in touch next week. The deaf camp looks fantastic, what you are contributing along with Kirsty. Looking forward to read all more about it and keep updated here. Till then, hang in there & have lots fun @ camp! Really miss travelling, not yet survived the post-travels symptoms yet. Hugs, S xx

The tad lil too long East Coast postcard is now online, happy reading :). The deaf camp in Ranau was a huge success that the kids are now walking around the Asrama with the long faces going 'I miss the deaf camp, why couldn't it be 5 days long instead of 3 days? it was the best camp we had' etc. All 63 kids totally loved it that they all ticked the happy face for each activity that they carried out on the feedback sheet form for future references. They were so full of energy that they got up at 5am every morning to do the 6.15am half an hour morning exercise on time *evil cackle* (secretly they loved it) and went to bed at 11pm every night, euthusiastic kids they were! In in the end, I was totally worn out but it was worth it, big time! Just discovered that the Special Education department of Sabah is responsible for organising the deaf camp every year but they are so caught up this year, that Kirsty and I carried out the deaf camp for 2006. Was the Malaysia version of Tirabad! Iit was most certainly different to the previous camps they've had which are usually on gender roles in Malaysia. Highlight for them was the jungle trekking and it was much harder than Uncle Tan's seeing that they had to use ropes up and down the steep muddy slopes etc, now their bodies are stiff *snickers*. Mum - the kids want to say thank you for the yummiest marshmallows that you posted out, they so loved roasting the marshmallows on satay sticks on the last BBQ night that they kept coming back for more. Now the 50 packets of marshmallows are finished! Got plenty more to say that I'm dreading to write the online postcard but knowing me, will eventually get round to it with posted photos. Kirsty, thanks girl. Hey, we've still got plenty more fun heading our way :). *Bear hugs* to you all. x

Aw, just wana say that I couldn't have wished for a better Gap partner Aman! Had a blast with her on the East Coast and the deaf camp was amazing! We're both really chuffed at how successful it was- but of course I can only give the cred to Aman- she worked her socks off for it! Really looking forward to each of our parents coming out- gona be funny to see where we each get our traits from! Labuan this weekend- def gona be time to let our hair down! Congrats Aman again on the deaf camp- u deserve it girl! :-) xx

Hey Aman

I'm back in NBC and came across this page in the browser thing so being the nosy b**** I am...course I had to have a peek! Nice site loads of wicked photos, including hardcore Borneo style jungle camp! I hope you had a nice St. Patrick's Day back in KK, mine was a non-event in Semporna there is f*** all to do there, except hang out in the hostel which is all I did the 3 nights I was there. Ahh it's really lovely diving there though, or even snorkelling I met loads of people who did that and saw heaps of turtles and cool stuff. If you get the chance go there though, the beaches on the islands are beautiful too! I arrived here at NBC @ 5am after getting off the night bus from Semporna, so it's one day here before I fly to the Phillipines tomorrow...hope everything is cool with you and K at school, and that your deaf camp goes well (can't remember when it is, this weekend I think?!)
Take care,
Sarah x

Hi Aman,

Fantastic jungle pictures. I can't take any credit for the fundraising. All down to Louise and Rajiv. Perhaps we can arrange for your parents to bring the money with them. I'll see what I can do. Glad to see you still making the most of everything. See you soon.

Mr Gale

Definitely got the jungle fever, totally loved the East Coast. Highlight has to be Uncle Tan's wildlife camp in the Borneo tropical rainforest, big time Borneo's hardcore style! Snap shots are online for viewing. As for the postcard, will get round to doing it but at least you guys can post some messages to motivate me. Andre, that's what I wanted to hear - you being completely floored *sniggers*. Another thing, I so do not have a posh voice, more like Brummy and proud of it :D. Mr Gale, Louise and Rajiv, thank you so much for coming up with the idea of non-uniform day for St Paddy's to raise profits to go towards the DPM deaf department. Over and out :) x

dear AMAN hows it going??? my party was dead fast as i got dead wasted! never saw martine, hurt!!! lol but i will hopefully see her tonight at gregs party! i hope your still being a nice teacher over there with your posh voice! i really miss you sweetie and hope your ok. take care Andre

It's me again spreading the love from Borneo, with a waffling postcard online *ha, head tilts back*! Lol MART-ine about the toddlers being ferried over to London. I'm sure you'll have bundles of fun babysitting the wee ones, and it's about time to get your 'parenting' skills in touch dontcha think? *nudges you and winks* :p. Semhar, thanks very much for the package from Thailand although it took literally forever to arrive *me laugh@Thailand post, still is no 1 joke*. Greatly appreciate the thoughtful gift bubs. Jessie, although Chris has filled me on his 21st, you still have to reveal the goss of Chris being in full glory *hand rubs to hear the sordid details*. Especially on the 'gibberish' scene in the early hours of morning, not embarrassing you here am I Chris? ;p. Annnnnddddrrreeee *geordie accent* aka shiny ass, have a great birthday downing those Barcardi and coke drinks ;). Missing y'all heaps! Hugs x
