Currently it is bucketing down with rain, thunder and lightning thrown in for free! The weather is wet wet wet. Today's date: Tuesday the 16th October. I'll start from last week, haven't written anything in a while!
So last Monday was free hair cut day where a group of hairdressers come in to cut the children's hair. Jo and I also got in on the action which was a bit scary as it was hard to tell the hairdresser what we wanted. I think I managed to get the message across that I wanted to keep it quite long and I still have most of my hair so.... success!
On Friday we once again went to frequent our favourite beer spot where Mansu tried to get us to go to KL with him to his favourite cha cha cha club. We were very reluctant as getting into a car with a drunk man at the wheel was not appealing. We managed to decline although Malaysians on the whole do not like to take no for an answer. Mansu's gem of wisdom for the week: I have a baby face. I suppose it's good to look young. At about 1.30 we headed home where Jo decided a drunken skype session with friends would be a good idea. I'm not sure if she still felt that way in the morning.
The next day we got up early at 7.30 to get the bus and meet the fellow volunteers who are based more centrally in Kuala Lumpur. Weather verdict - torrential rain. We got off the bus and made our way to our suggested meeting place of Starbucks for a much needed coffee. We were the first there followed by Sarah, from Australia and Pete and Simon, of Bath, UK. We went for some lunch in Chinatown, swapped teaching and travelling stories and drank beer. Sunday was spent at the internet cafe planning lessons and being annoyed with STA Travel, So much hassle from them!
This week we are planning our trip to Singapore at the weekend, so exciting. Saturday Universal Studios and on Sunday a birthday at the zoo. This will be up there with the good birthdays, I lookforward to telling you how it goes.
