had breakfast again ( this time again lambat )

took pics ( we girls know how to pose )

drove a storm back to kuala kangsar!! ( tkot but rase cm power!!! )

papa emmet sent me home ( to opahs house )

i learnt a lot of things while in Belum, the fact that the org. aslis can survive without technology ( xde line there ) and that they didn't cause any problems when we were there ( though some of them like have ' ignorance is bliss' stamped on thier foreheads. i realized that the women were more compliant then the men based by how many of them came. they are a special lot, i really think that evntho we should instill some education in them to improve thier standard of living ( they don't have proper sanitization and lice problems ) but they should still learn thier own culture before they forget it all together. it was an undoubtfully wonderful experience on a whole from nvr knowing that tasik temenggor existed ( i am not good in geography you see ) to getting to drive the Storm. i learnt that evntho i had past problems with k. lin that life moves on and friendships rekindle. i have found my calling and a lot to reflect upon but they are only in my friendster blog!!! peace.
