So December has happened, wow weeee..... I have plans for this month, like serious plans which will see me doing actual stuff! Outside of Tanah Rata as well, which will be a novelty.
The month has started on a bit of a downer, someone who I've gotten really close to here has had to do something which means I won't be able to see them before I leave town. Shit man... It's kind of taken the shine of my anticipation for the coming few weeks but I've got to get on with things, I can't hold it against him in any way. Also, Liam got sacked about a week or so ago. It was just after my last blog but I was all about writing about the Rafflesia and being proud of myself to mention it. We were smoking Gudang Garams, some under the counter Indonesian clove cigarettes and a guest thought we were smoking weed (chance would be a fine thing) and told on Liam. He also got some very bad reviews on TripAdviser which are actually quite funny if you know the boy and how anti social he can be.
My last 17 days in town will hopefully be spent persuing someone who I've kind of ignored of late, and hanging round with Bella and Deera. Backpackers are still annoying me and I've decided I'm not going to bother with them unless they bother with me and are genuinely interesting people. Case in point, Kaarina came through a few days ago and was a bundle of fun and we got on really well and the conversation flowed without the need to resort to Backpacker Banter, she was good people. After the next 17 days (really should tell the boss I'm leaving...) I'm going to Deera's village for three days where I'm going to go actual blow pipe hunting in the jungle, play about in a waterfall, go fishing in a stream with my hands and go fruit picking in the jungle. Excited much! After there I'm going to spend the night in Tapah, the first town out of the highlands on the way to KL, and then go to Bella's village for Christmas. Those who know me will be aware that I hate Xmas and tend to spend the day in bed not being in any way festive, but to get the chance to spend it with one of the sweetest people I've ever met, in an Orang Asli village that is Christian was too good to pass up. After all of this I think I'm going to spend NYE in KL.
The prospect of leaving town has gotten a little bit easier with me not being able to see my friend, and knowing that I will get some hardcore time in with Bella and Deera before I leave. I'm ready to move on, this town has served it's purpose. When Winter did me a tarot reading focussing on my fears she said I had to get out on the road again and do some hardcore travelling and confront my fear of the unknown and to get out of my comfort zone. I think I'm in the right head space to do this and going to two aborigine villages should be a great start to this.
Oh, I've also finally gotten round to dying my hair. My theory was that I wouldn't need to dye it again and I would let the sun work it's magic on it. This worked fine until I got to the Cameron Highlands where it rains every day and when it is sunny I seem to be stuck in work. Fingers crossed I won't need to dye it again because my next few stops are Cambodia, Indonesia and East Timor which should provide me with a healthy dose of sun kissed locks and allow me to get my tan going again. Putting on sun stuff every day might get annoying again though...
