Nanga Matu 17/5 My 19th birthday.

Just woke up. I'm 19. My ear is fucking killing me. It blocked up loads last night so I didn't get much sleep. It hurts below my ear, and inside its swollen like a motherfucker. Maria looked inside and the hole is like half the size of my other ear's. Fuck. Happy birthday Sadie, have a fucking ear infection!!

I want to go to work today though..otherwise I'll be spending the day alone..
Tim just gave me some of his chocolate that he got for his birthday, back in Camp Leakey! Chocolate never tasted so good..

I've been teaching Laura a bit of guitar, and she just played me happy birthday!! (I taught her the A major scale). Ear still cains.

I had no energy for work this morning. The others have just gone back, they made me stay here and rest because I look and feel like shit!
Well, this birthday so far beats last years in terms of suckage!
Hah. There is now a terrential downpour. I can't go anywhere..I swear today cannot get any worse!


Ok, so dinner totally saved the day. After we ate, Ibu brought out this rice and sugar cake she made! It was like a mountain of rice with Sadie written in coconut sugar stuff and '19' as longbeans! Amazing!! Then Laura gave me a card she made that everyone signed. Was not expecting that after the rubbish day!
Dave and Catherine haven't returned from getting supplies from Bayat.

Me trying to cut my cake!:



Well..what a day. One things for sure..I won't have another birthday where I'm hitting the hay at 8.30! Time to sleep!
