Malaysia, Thailand, Borneo

On the 28^th of August 2008, my mum, dad, sister and I travelled on the plane to Kuala Lumpur (K.L), the capital of Malaysia.
While in Malaysia we visited The Twin Towers otherwise known as The Petronas Towers, the indoor roller coaster, watched the  bass jumping on the Monara tower, travelled on the bus around the city of K.L.
We then travelled to Kuching which is the capital of Sarawak, Borneo and Kota Kinabalu which is the capital of Sabah, Borneo. In Borneo we went on Uncle Tan's Jungle camp and saw Orang-utans and other monkeys and animals in the wild. We also went to the Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre.
Lastly, we went to the islands of Thailand; my favourite being Koh Samui. We ate coconut on the beach, rode an elephant, watched the Hawthorn vs. Geelong AFL Grand Final and rode jet ski's in the ocean.
We arrived back home 5 weeks later on the 3rd of October, 2008.

Swimming Sports 2011

For the first time at Kurnai College we now have house colours at all the sports days. Yellow, Green, Blue and Red are the colours. Yellow was the favourite to win but unfortunately (because I was in yellow) they came last. Blue were the winners of the day and Green and Red following behind. Most people dressed up in their house colours on the day. There were a range of different costumes on the day; coloured hats, balls, balloons, jumpers, swimmers, t-shirts, pants, zinc (with some people being completely covered), feather bowers, wigs, nails, sunglasses, over sized sunglasses, skirts, floatation devices, headbands and even beards. It was really cold on the day so there was lots of people that didn't enter events. Halfway through it started to rain and everyone ducked for cover. All in all it was a pretty fun day.

Lara as a dog

This week I’m doing a follow up for my first blog on Lara when she was a puppy. This time I’m going to write about her as she is now which is quite the bit bigger.
We've had Lara for about 2 and a half years now and she's still as cute as ever. She's changed so much in such short time. She now has little (and some not so little) black spots on her nose that she didn't used to have. She has grown an enourmous amount; she used to fit in her hands but now my sister Jade can't even lift her up. She loves to always be with someone and we think she has a separation problem with mum, everywhere mum goes Lara's there too. She is scared of thunder and recently ran off and we couldn't find her for 4 days. Luckily we got her back though. She still loves water and the bubbles from running water and also the embers from fires.
