Malaysia 2009: A word from the young folk...

Hi everyone, this is Tim, Zick, Chiz, Robyn, Nae Nae, Arvind, Esther, Fitzy G, Ellie Bellie andElle :)
We've had the most amazing week. Students and teachers met us from the airport and it was really hot! Jet lag set in pretty much straight away. FAIL. After a couple of humid hours on the coach, we made it to the college, only to find it was raining. We were given fruit like, mangosteene (which can go through the green glass door) and coconut! Then we were all shown to our chalets and apartments, it was really hard to get our bearings as it was so dark. The air con and fans were much appreciated, THUMBS UP ALL ROUND!
An early start for breakfast at 0730 the next morning - HELLO CHICKEN AND RICE! Then we went to the headmasters office where we met all the students! We went to our 'base' - classroom 1.1 and started our discussions about 'major global issues' EPIC FAIL.
After randomly randomising for a random amount of random time, we found ourselves at random tables with random people. It was RANDOM - ELLIE FAIL!
Some more CHICKEN AND RICE later, we played some drama games for THREE HOURS, just to keep us awake. It was awesome, as it gave us a chance to meet everyone, including MR.BRIGHTSIDE for the first time of the week, DEJA-VU TO COME LATER!

Tuesday morning after some more CHICKEN AND RICE, we bussed it out to the Cameron Highlands, all in our sunnies and insect repellent, giving us our first chance to do some Malaysian shopping - HELLO GRAPE MENTOS, PINK GUAVA JUICE, WATERMELON CHEWING GUM, SOUR SKITTLES, RADIOACTIVE CRISPS AND SEAWEED PRINGLES! We started our trek through the jungle it was .We had to get down a REALLY steep hill which we all fell over on as it was really muddy! We didn't see any monkeys - MAMMAL FAIL! Then bussed it on up half way to the tea plantation, and had to walk the last 2km to the top! We got smelling the tea in the factory before trekking back down. 3 hours winding back down to KYUEM meant that we made it back for CHICKEN AND RICE before going to the battle of the bands! Zick should've won!

Greetings from Malaysia! This is Zick! You guys are awesome! EPIC! I just wanna tell that I'm gonna miss all of you guys! I had so much fun. And everything happened so fast. It's Friday already. Can I go back to UK with you guys? LOL You guys are my inspirations. You've showed me so many things that I didn't see before. I love you guys so so so much. Please don't leave =( Nobody said it was easy, it's such a shame for us to part, nobody said it was easy, no one ever said it would be so hard. I'm going back to the start. ps- You guys made my life more colourful and meaningful. See you in UK =)

Wednesday we prepared for our presentations as well as presentations for the Cultural Evening. Highlights included 5mins waiting for the music to start and Tim as Harry Potter. We ended the very fun evening with a vigorous rendition of Mr Brightside, as per usual. We then ran to the front for a good British rave. This evening ended with every student on campus taking a photo with us as we seem to be quite an attraction.

Thursday was KL day. This involved several visits to places, but mostly stuck in traffic. At the UEM building they gave us such a nice meal. Then shopping yey bargains.
JOE HAD LOADS OF LOVE NOTES FROM THE MALAYSIAN STUDENTS!!

And now it's today, we've done the presentations. EPIC ELLIE FAIL! And now we're getting ready to go out for our seafood dinner, some of us British kids wearing traditional Malaysian clothes. But not Tim and Nae Nae's matching kaftans or Tim and Joe's matching aladdin pants.

Bye ze bye...
Much love from the far reaches of south east Asia...

FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl
