Mr. Chelsea's Adventures

More demands

2008-08-04T22:15:00.001-07:00

The frognappers are still at large and they deposited a new note under
everyone's doors late last night. They seem to be threatening to eat
Mr Chelsea and Flavio if we don't paddle well in the 500m race.

Rumours still swirl around who they may be. The grammar mistake on the
note makes us believe that it can't be a teacher and the engineers
(Ivana, Jill, Laura, Carolyn, me, and Aaron) are under extra scrutiny.
Julie is also under suspicion: she is a teacher but she is on the
sciences side of things and she had admitted to being in the Internet
cafe late on the night the frognappers sent their first message.

Because of this blog, some team members believe that Aaron and myself
are the only ones with the technical knowledge to pull off this feat.
I'm sure that you, gentle reader, believe in our innocence, so I will
continue to unbiasedly report the facts as they are uncovered.

Framed

2008-08-04T21:55:00.001-07:00

Somebody thinks that Aaron and I are the culprits and we are being
framed. Last night I found this under the door. Is it from the
frognappers or someone else?

Chin returned

2008-08-04T21:51:00.001-07:00

The frognappers returned Chin after the 200m final and everyone was
jubilant. But Mr. Chelsea and Flavio are still missing.

who's the culprit??

2008-08-02T06:23:00.001-07:00

These comments were overheard in the team tent today. With Mr. Chelsea and friends missing, people have started blaming each other for the crime.

Ivana: "I don't get it, 7 years he's all quiet and fine in my car and then he gets involved with Leila and the Cascades Women, and suddenly he's being ransomed and I'm being blamed."

Kay - "7 years of being sunburned, baked, faded, and left to wither away"

Ivana - "No, it was whitening, like they try with their creams over here in Malaysia. Hey, Flavio didn't look tied up in the photo. I think maybe Flavio did it...an enemy in disguise."

Leila - "I think that Carolyn and Andrea were the culprits. I got a ransom message from Carolyn's email address"

A little later....

Leila - 'Somebody has realized what matters most to this team, and they are putting it all on the line."

So...who dunnit???

A Malaysian Friend

2008-08-02T05:57:00.000-07:00

Flavio and I found a new friend. His name is Chin Something-or-rather (I'm afraid his name is too long for me to remember, but I just call him Chin).

We've taken command of the 2K cup from the Jaymor Cascades team.

Getting ready for the races

2008-08-02T05:48:00.000-07:00

Just chillin' out, learning about Malaysia before we get serious.

We have our own race plan.

Better study our plan before we go

Doing some mental imagery. Flavio needs to work on his concentration.

Trying the cool fruit over here

2008-08-01T16:02:00.001-07:00

Hmm..this fruit is not as good as flies.

Does anyone have any inside-of-the-mouth- bandaids?

More fun at the Batik Factory

2008-08-01T15:58:00.001-07:00

I wish I could have this bed at home

My tourist photo

whew! it was a close call, but Flavio came to the rescue. I love that guy.

Fun at the Batik Factory

2008-08-01T15:52:00.000-07:00

Here are Flavio and I checking out the Batik stamps. They are wonderful, intricate designs.

check out her skills at painting! And she keeps it all inside the lines too. I could never do that. Flavio agrees.

Wow, check out all the finished products...shirts, kites, dresses, sarongs, blouses...it's never-ending.

Where's Flavio? Five asian flies (they are the big juicy kind) to the person who can find both of us.

All the locals wanted their photo taken with us.

Making a new friend

2008-08-01T15:46:00.001-07:00

So, I was minding my business, talking to the girls when someone asked to sit beside me.

to tell you the truth, i was a little bummed to be sharing my great basket seat, but I'm too much of a gentleman to say 'no'

Flavio introduced himself and wouldn't you know it, he's a fan of Jaymor Cascades Women!!

We were instant friends.

Practice

2008-07-28T06:40:00.000-07:00

Here I am, trying to steer. It's a lot harder then Josce makes it look. BUT, now she knows she has a back-up if she needs one. :)

Oooooh, I always wanted to take Megan's spot (she's our totally groovy stroke), but that's waaaaay too much responsibility for this frog.

Yes! I think I got it. I'm a natural at this. Hey, where's the drum? I want my drum! Oh what? This post is already taken by Julie? Maaaan, I came too late on this scene.
