8D HOLA. I return from bali, tanned and cheery and NOT completely stoned outta my mind.
Asian holidays are bargaining in broken bahasa melayu until you are sure you are exploiting the fler in some way, depriving him from buying his kid a batik shirt or an Indonesian storybook about Hang Jebat. Back at rehearsals now, and am seeing life through librarian eyes! 8D Will be back when the Midol/tea tree kicks in.
