Training life in Malay

Training has been absolutely awesome here in Malay for the last 3 weeks, and everything is going very well and we are all working super hard in Malay, despite the heat!

First Days in Malay!

Well, the transit in Hong Kong was long-winded and…well…not boring, but just plain long and an energy consumer.

Checkout at the Hotel was around 12pm noon, so I had a whole 9 hours to kill after that, before catching the plan to K.L. and eventually arriving really late (or early depending on which way you look at things). Luckily Hong Kong airport was quite big, with a lot of entertainment features, my favourite one of all would certainly be free Wi-Fi Internet Access throughout the airport, which was a real jackpot when you have so many hours waiting up your sleeve.

Hong Kong Galore!

After a long 11hour something flight, the plane finally arrived in Hong Kong…the overnight flight was not easy as I was put in the middle-middle seat (the group of seats in the middle of the plane, and in that group the middle seat) and trying to sleep without cramping my back, legs and arms was a real challenge, but somehow I manage to do it for a good 6 hours.

Europe Tour – Update Three – No Match against the Irish!

First glimpse of Ireland

Ireland has been just as cold, if not colder than Wales. Temperatures only climb to an average of 4-8 degrees and much colder at night. Frost can be seen nearly everywhere, and it doesn’t have the chance to melt before night comes around once again. One thing noticeable is that Dublin has not rained at all for the full duration we have been here, which has been nearly a full week. This should be considered unusual as it is approaching the middle of winter in Europe, but hey, who’s complaining?

Europe Tour – Update Two – A Win against Wales!

Ladies Singles Final - Welsh International 2008

 

The Welsh team had a stronger men’s line-up and slightly weaker in the women’s side. We knew that the tie was going to be a close one, and we had to play well to come out with a win.

Europe Tour – Update One

The flight was always going to be a long one, going from New Zealand to our final destination; Cardiff, Wales. This would be my first time going to Wales, so I was mildly excited, but the amount of flight time kind of killed all the excitement…

Being Selfish?! Everyone has different needs!

Everyday we learn something new, and recently I have come to a thought (which seems much like a conclusion to me as I am positive this is the right way to think) which has struck me over the past month or so.
