It's Good Friday...what?

Who knew! There I was, working away into the wee hours of the night, helping my students prepare for their big Saturday conference, when one of the three Christian students I teach mentionned that they had to leave for Good Friday service...who knew this was Easter weekend! One of the advantages is that there is no comercialism surrounding it, which is refreshing amidst the bombardment of consumerism around everything else in this country! All that to say, I wish you all a Happy Easter...enjoy the chocolate for me!!!!
No adventures this weekend, it's conference day today and the kids are riled up and ready! They are the best kids ever...amazing hardly begins to describe them!!!! Should be a great day. Tomorrow will be spent poolside, preping my lessons because on Monday, I finally get to start teaching! Not only that, I get to announce to my class that we are taking a field trip to the elephant sanctuary....which may be more for me than for them!!!!!!!
My interesting, and somewhat gross, Malaysian thing for you today...all of the baked goods here have weiners in them!!!!!!!!!! I know, ew is the only possible response you might have! I stopped by the bakery on my way in this morning, since starbucks doesn't open until 9:30 (ridiculous!) to get a little something...look around, pasteries, stuffed with weiners, and what looks like icing on top is mayo, and sometime ketchup!!!!!! Danishes, instead of fruit, weiners! Yum!
And on that note, I gotta get to work! Happy Easter Weekend...Peace!
