1 November 1991, Friday.

Pinch, punch, first day of the month, what a stupid concept. I remember pinching and punching people in my junior school for this very reason.
Well, I awoke at 10am, hmmmm, me thinks, considering the fact that we were all supposed to be leaving for the trip for 3 days to the National park at 7am. I got up and met Unus, he told me that the others hadn't shown up, so he hadn't woken me, annoying huh, just a tad.
Me and Unus went into Labuhan and I phoned home, spending over £10 for the call. Then bought a quaint green straw hat. It started gushing with rain so we went over to the ranger's office in Labuhan, where we met Mr Amir Hasan. Its actually here that I wrote yesterdays entry, and this mornings.
I've decided that I don't like the Dutch people I've met, they've been worse than the Germans, and the Americans. Luckily I haven't met many of any of them. It's 3:30pm and still bucketing down, I have never seen rain like it, its hard to explain.
The rains stopped and I head back to the guest house, firstly eating(makan) in the warung(cafe) over the road.
This blue pen was given to me by Hendra, and he gave me his address to send the photo that I took of him. I'm now eating ekan goreng(fried fish) and nasi putith(rice and vegatables). Very nice, after finishing our food, me and Unus went co-dock(frog) hunting. I call it hunting, but it's just spotting really, I love frogs. I was going to draw them, but Unus kept on walking off with the torch in the middle of the paddy fields. I gave him 1000rp for his trouble, and also so he can buy some dinner.
I know what's going on, but the arrangement suits me fine. It's 11:30pm and I'm sitting outside a warung where Unus is eating, and the mosy's are eating me, even though I'm wearing mosy protection creme. Ah, it appears the cream works on some of them, one just flew straight past my bare arm, he's probably a deavious bugger, and he's doubling back to get me. There clever them nymuk(mosquito's).
Whilst out on search for frogs earlier, we saw 3 varieties, two toad and one frog. I think they were the oriental edible ones, but I'll have to look them up, didn't recognise the toads. I've just remembered that I bought a torch for 3000 rp. hmmm?
Hey, after Unus ate, we nipped around to Mr Amier's house(the ranger) and whilst talking, a tiny brown frog jumped through the room, so I really saw 4 speices, I was very happy.
Just remembered something else, as we were searching earlier for frogs, I caught and held a 'fire fly' or in Indonesian..................Well it looks like I never wrote down the name for that, oh well. I then got back to my room, laid down and went to sleep, with my mosquito net protecting me, bliss.
