After that, all was rather quiet until work began on the 9th. Well, not totally quiet. Apparently not just the nyamuk love to taunt me - now the monyet, or the sneaky, evil, scum that is monkeys, have joined in. I was quite happily reading in my room, enjoying Lord of the Rings as innocently as can be, when what sounded like an avalanche could be heard from the bathroom. Rushing in fear to the door, I find one of those dreaded creatures in the doorway, holding, for some rather weird reason, my retainer box. And thus off he went with it, nibbling at the corner as he goes, and costing me a great deal of money to replace it. I hope he choked on the plastic (actually, I don't because that would be rather sad, but still, EVIL).Apart from that, I am now back to back until the 28th, thus working over the lovely holiday that is Chinese New Year, while Geordam enjoy surfing with Khaliq and Jamhuri on the east coast. Ah, what a sad life I lead, unable to go surfing and instead sailing and kayaking and trekking with crazy participants...ha, no, all is well and by the end of this week I shall have achieved my Bronze Medallion life-saving certification (we hope!) though I fear I will either pass out from heat stroke or from being drowned before it occurs.
Fortunately, I am easily revived by food, and so Didy has promised to take me to the pasar malam every week to investigate the delicious Malay food on offer. I tell you this: everyone must try pisang goreng (fried banana) because it is sent down from the heavens to dance on your tastebuds.
Farewell my fair friends, may you live in peace and harmony and all the other things :)
Emily
