Bought a new camera- woo friggin hoo! Bout time! On tues, I at last watched the end of Braveheart with my class- every time I have arranged to watch it, the VCD player has been missing etc. Mum and gran arrived later in the day to meet Johnston and Catherine. Mum chatted to Catherine for a while about child abuse and we arranged a time for her to give a presentation at the Society for the Deaf. Mum and gran then went back to the hotel and I continued with my afte...

Wednesday- Mammy and Gran still recovering from dodgy tummys (light weights), so we're sticking to the Western food from now on (although I'm sure there's just as much risk of food poisoning with western food). Set off pretty early to check out the "Main Bazaar", which consisted of gallery upon gallery, craft shop upon craft shop- heaven. Was fab- the first shop we went into had these to die for paintings- Clairie- wish you were there- you would've bought t...

We arrived at a beautiful modern building, which belongs to the Sabah State Government and is rarely used- therefore absolutely everyone we had met had managed to get lost inside. This...

Absolutely stuffed. Second Little Italy in 2 nights, plus the free "cocktail hour" at the Hyatt hotel before hand- which consists of a variety of yummy hors-dourves and as much wine as you want-mmm. Tis fabby to have mum and Gran over and I'm getting to eat and drink as much as I want- which I'm not sure is a good thing :-S. Friday was a bit frustrating getting through classes, knowing that they would be arriving in KK. Was still banter though cause had a ce...

Ahh- as a result of last night's escapades, I am now sitting with a forceful stare at the computer screen, to prevent myself from nodding off! Well Aman and I set off to bed pretty early last night but were horribly awoken by the noisiest and most irritating siren ever. Obviously realized that it was the fire drill, but it took such mental strength to get out of bed. We seemed to be one of the last outside and the stragglers that came after, were asked to line up...
