... of rats. Ipod in (extra loud) head under sheets. Bloody hot under sheets. Turn on fan. Cannot reach fan. Have decided to suffer.<br>Sleep.<br><br>****, there it is again. Start jumping. Look at watch, 3.30am. Damn 3 and half hours before sunrise. Need to get to light. Plan route. Jump to second bed. Reach light. Don't look down, do not wish to see ANYTHING. Yes, light on. Reach bathroom light. Yes maximum light achieved ...

The Perhentians and Redang Island are not too far apart. From the beach in the Perhentians we could clearly see Redang on the horizon. Getting between the two is a bit of a mission though: 1 Hour Ferry back to the mainland heading north, 1 hour wait for bus, 2 hour bus back down south in line with Perhentians ...

... beach and around the rock formation to find just as many fish. Took naps on the deck chairs set out on the beach between swims. Sipped cocktails and downed ice kchangs ( ABC's ) while listening to a live band and other music. You could play beach volleyball or badminton if you desired or even take a yoga class. There was plenty to see and do over the 4 days but we pretty much just vegged out :-D <br>Oh what a life mmmmmmmmmm<br>

... rice and prawn stuff, and the best fruit juices ever, I think mine was mango and dragon fruit. Moving around with all our bags (now stupidly heavy and full - we have even had to start shoving clothes inside our guitars and stuff) is horribly hot and sweaty, so any transit journey from hostel to bus/bus station to bus station/bus station to boat etc, involves a lot of sweat, not much conversation other than disagreeing grunts about which way ...

... le lendemain 2) elle est pret de l'arret de bus (les deux stations existantes) 3) c'est en plein centre alors que les options plus charmantes sont a un ou deux kilometres, je ne voulais pas renouveller 'Bala's Chalet' et etre perdue dans un bled, et devoir me faire des kilometres a pied ou attendre des taxis. D'ailleurs il n'y a pas beaucoup de touristes ni ...

Paradise - these islands are beautiful! Arrived via boat on the small island and after lugging our enourmous bags (how did I manage to pack so much and acquire more!) down the beach in the crippling heat, we found a bungalow (albeit three stories high much to our complaining). The thought of walking back down the beach was too much to bear, so we took it, smelly bathroom and all. We pretty much sunbathed the rest of the day and ...

... on the corals (stingrays were a highlight), everything! Mike had some problem equalizing the pressure in his ears but got there eventually, although he is a little deaf now! I found that the hardest part was swimming without using my arms and haughling myself back into the boat from the water wearing a heavy wetsuit and gear. Today we dived to 11 metres (which feels a lot less far than it sounds) and tomorrow we'll go down to 18 metres or so. I can't wait!! Tonight England are playing ...

My day started a little before 8 o'clock, when Fauzi brought me a packet of nasi lemak (coconut rice, sardines in oil, and half a hard-boiled egg) for breakfast. Today is registration day at Sekolah Imtiaz, meaning that today students in Forms 2 & 3 move into their dormitories in preparation for the first day of class tomorrow. Forms 1 & 4 begin in about two weeks, on the 15th. As a result, the environment here has been frenetic (busier than usual, I am told ...

... the experience of going to them relatively sterile. My experiences here and elsewhere have been so much more interactive and rewarding. Tonight we go to dinner at the house of one of a local official. We have been treated incredibly well during our time in Terengganu, but I really am eager to move in at my school and begin doing what I came here to do. I think this is a sentiment shared by all 10 of us. After so much running around and sensory stimulus during the last month ...
