Little message to let you know what happened yesterday. As normal had our TEFL course + Malay lessons and after we went for a swim in the school's pool. Loadsa loose tiles on the bottom of the pool and i managed 2 slice open my foot while playing ultimate frisbee, ozzies vs britts (britts thrashed the ozzies). Was quite amusin cos i couldnt really feel it but when i got outa the pool there was a nice stream of blood- but dont worry mum, got it all cleared up. Luckily almost everyone brought a first aid kit cos the school has like no first aid resourses. Then, we all seperated off for dinner and i went witha group of girls to a veggie restaurant for Chinese, Janenese, Malay and Thai food. Hada really good night- walked home beside the beach and bought a random balloon shaped like a bike- highly amusin at the time. Stopped off in the mall to show off our balloon, then headed home. But whe we got home, we were instanty filled in on what happened to the other group. My Gap partner, Aman had had her bag snatched. We've all been warned about the dangers, ie- wear bags that cross over your chest, walk towards the traffic, hold onto your bag etc- and Aman took all of the precautions, yet it still happened. She lost her mp3 player, phone, money, credit cards, new camera, the works. Felt so so bad for her. The motorcyclist that snatched her bag managed to rip it from its strap and when Aman showed the maids at the school, they th it must've been slashed with a knife. So we're all slightly freaked out cos we keep being told to carry all of our valuables on us- ie passport, flight tickets, travellers cheques etc- but now we're all keeping that jazz locked in our bags in our rooms. We also had local kids from an orphanage come and visit us today to let us practise our teaching skills on them. They were sooo cute- between 8 and 10. They had really good english and all absolutely fancied the pants off one of the Britt boys, David. Was so funny, they wouldnt let go of him n drew him lotsa pictures, saying things like, "David is the most beautifulist man ever". Was quite amusin. I get to teach them today but I think im gona have to do it on my own cos Aman has speak to the Police Officer again. Gota go do my lesson plan.
