VINCENT 2006/2007

Over Christmas, we went to Lankayan, a tiny spot of an island. There, we did a 5 day diving course, and got our PADI license. We had a very sweet diving instructor, Sophie. We also celebrated Christmas there, with fun and games. On top, you can see how we made a sand-turtle for the sandcastle contest, with which we failed to win: as a turtle is no castle, we had ignored the objective. Sweet little Anna however won the first prize. Do I smell bribery here?
We celebrated New Years Eve in Kota Kinabalu, where for the first time I was allowed to have Sex on the Beach, well, the cocktail, I mean. As you can see, I became totally drunk and that is how I entered the year 2007.

We saw loads of monkeys, orangutans, proboscis monkeys and macaques, so we felt very much at home in Borneo.
In Kota Kinabalu, we tried rafting. The lady of the hotel assured us, that it was all nice and easy, and everybody could do it. How different appeared the reality. We were upside down more than half of the time (as you can see on the picture) and even if we were up straight, the water would fill the boat before you could count to three. So we did it for almost an hour and that was it.
The same cannot be said for the adventure park, which Victor and me were allowed to visit: we could have stayed much longer, riding buggies and climbing plastic mountains, if only my mother would have bought the most expensive option for us!

My fifteenth birthday has already passed and now I am totally cool, as my presents were (amongst others) sunglasses and a sleeveless shirt with skulls on it. My mother was worried, that the sunglasses were not fashionable enough. I managed to assure her, that they were fine: I wear what I like and am not interested in what other people think of that. A handsome boy like me can get away with anything. Of course, I played some songs on the guitar, as I can already play oldies and very new music as well. On the internet, I download chord and tabs from Billy Talent and others, but still manage to break my strings on it and my fingers almost.

As I am in ninth grade, this year was the first one of IBO exams, which was surely no piece of cake. There were three days full of them, and I was studying night and day, keeping my fingers crossed for a good result.
In March, our school had the yearly "Sports Day". The first time it was planned, 5 minutes before it started to rain, so we had go go to class all day dressed and painted in yellow. The second time we were more lucky. Our team did not win anything. Therefore, we received the award of "most sportive team".
