Muslim wedding, adopting a baby orangutan, watching a mummy turtle lay her eggs, releasing baby hatchlings to the wild, trekking through the jungle in swamps of mud, going down the biggest river in Sabah in a long boat with man eating crocs beneath us, not wearing shoes and not getting more than 2hrs sleep for 5 days, partying it up for St Patrick's day in KK- was a friggin awesome March hol!!!!!
