Pink Busses, Strong Quads & Tiger Beer Dear Emmy
I just read Lindsay's blog and sounds like quite the adventure at the Oasis! BUT then to see the photos of you both maxin' the relaxin' seems to be you've recovered and are enjoying the sand between your toes! Hope you and Lindsay have a couple of fancy rum drinks with umbrellas in them for me and Aloaha Jane the Pineapple Princess!
Love

Wow! Wow!!! You're certainly having some great adventures. Pangkor sounds and looks really beautiful. Keep having fun, don't forget your sunscreen and best of luck with the toilets!
Chill out time So glad to hear you had some chill out time on the island. Makes all the not so good stuff fade into the background. Once again your straw turned into gold! Keep smiling.
Love, Mom
Malay Beaches Hey Em.
Sounds like you are having a blast. Glad you got to experience the islands of Malaysia. In my opinion Malaysia has the nicest islands and best snorkling in all of SEA. The fish are amazing! I also think it is only a matter of time before it becomes over run by tourists just like Thailand. I too travelled alone in Malaysia so I can relate on the creepy stares. Nevertheless, I am still super jealous - keep sharing your stories!

Hi Em So so so jealous. Glad all going well Em. Lee and I loved that Sim Lim centre, and I got seriously ripped off in there. All part of the fun. Enjoying the read.
Happy travels hun. xxx
Don't Joke about Bed Bugs! Haha, don't joke about bed bugs!!! I got them in Melaka!!!!!! But its not bad, bought some "itch meds" and I'm feeling super. Linds' bed had the bugs, and I ended up with the bites, figure that out! :)
Straw to gold What a wondrous adventure...temples sounded awesome...take in the energy. Now about the fortune sticks. Yes, you don't take Fate for granted but she doesn't ALWAYS win. You still have choices to make and YOU will find a way to turn Straw into Gold. Baci.
jealous Hey Emily,
I have to admit I'm quite jealous. Having traveled through south east asia myself, I can really imagine the great experience it'll be for you. I remember how scared you were, when we met in Perth, before you head over to KL. It's good to see what a positive experience that was and how it open your eyes to a whole new adventure.
Enjoy your trip!
Bon voyage Emily Three more days! It sounds like you are bound to have an amazing few months Em. I've never been to Asia so i am looking fwd to your updates. cheers,

New Adventure Hey Emily!
Your adventure sounds exciting! Actually, I've always wanted to travel this region of the world and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to do it one time, maybe in a few years... But for the moment, I'm already quite busy discovering your fantastic country! ;-)
Wish you all the best for this trip and an awesome time (like in Downunder!)! :D
Take care
Tom
Happy travels! Hi Emily. Never thought we'd be writing on a "blog"! Hope you have a wonderful and exciting trip. We'll be waiting to read more as your journey unfolds. Take care and Enjoy! (Aunt) Elaine and "the Don"
So Jealous! Hey Em
I am so happy for you and sooo jealous. I just got back from spending 4 months in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and I would go back in a second. You will have such an amazing time. Make sure to share your stories whilst you are gone so I can live vicariously through you. Also, if you have any questions I would love to help.
Bon Voyage!
