A/N: Can you believe that our time is almost up here? We only have one week before we have to go back the the UK. It's been a blast coming to Mombasa and to see loads of our family and friends.
But unfortanly, we have to go back home at some point. Anyway, let's get started!
-----------------------------------------------
It's a glorious starry night and I'm having a sleepover with Hyunjin at his house. We're now watching a movie together.

Middle-aged executive Lester Burnham hates his job and is unhappily married to neurotic and ambitious real estate broker Carolyn. Their 16-year-old daughter, Jane, abhors her parents and has low self-esteem. Retired Frank Fitts, his near-catatonic wife Barbara, and their teenage son Ricky move in next door. Ricky documents the world around him with a camcorder, collecting recordings on videotape in his bedroom, while using his part-time catering jobs as a front for dealing cannabis. Strict disciplinarian Frank has previously had Ricky committed to a psychiatric hospital and sent to a military academy. Gay couple Jim Olmeyer and Jim Berkley, also neighbors to the Burnhams, welcome the Fitts family. Frank reveals his animus towards homosexuality later when angrily discussing the encounter with Ricky.
During a dance routine at a school basketball game, Lester becomes infatuated with Jane's cheerleader friend, Angela. He starts having sexual fantasies about her, in which red rose petals are a recurring motif. Carolyn begins an affair with married business rival Buddy Kane. Lester is informed by his supervisor that he is to be laid off; Lester blackmails him into giving him an indulgent and starts working at a . He buys his dream car, a 1970 , and starts working out after overhearing Angela teasing Jane that she would have sex with him if he improved his physique. He begins smoking cannabis supplied by Ricky and flirts with Angela. The girls' friendship wanes when Jane starts a relationship with Ricky, whom Angela scoffs at. Ricky and Jane bond over what Ricky considers the most beautiful image he has ever filmed: a plastic bag blowing in the wind.
Lester discovers Carolyn's infidelity when she and Kane unknowingly go to Lester's drive-through. He reacts with smug satisfaction. Buddy fears a costly divorce and ends the affair, while Carolyn is humiliated and simultaneously frustrated by her lack of professional success. Frank, suspicious of Lester and Ricky's friendship, finds footage Ricky captured by chance of Lester lifting weights naked and wrongly concludes they are sexually involved. He viciously accuses Ricky of prostitution, which Ricky falsely admits and goads his father into throwing him out. Carolyn, sitting distraught in her car, withdraws a handgun from the glove box. At home, Jane is arguing with Angela over her flirtation with Lester when Ricky interrupts to ask Jane to leave with him for New York City. He calls Angela ugly, boring, and ordinary.
Frank tentatively approaches Lester, then breaks down and tearfully embraces him. Lester begins to comfort Frank until Frank attempts to kiss him. Lester gently rebuffs him, saying he had misunderstood, and Frank walks back out into the rain. Lester finds Angela sitting alone in the dark. He consoles her, saying she is beautiful and anything but ordinary. He asks what she wants, and she says she does not know. She asks him what he wants, and he says he has always wanted her. He takes her to the couch and as he begins to undress her, Angela admits her virginity. Lester is taken aback to realize her apparent experience was a veil for her innocence, and he cannot continue. He comforts her as they share their frustrations in life. Angela goes to the bathroom as Lester smiles at a family photograph, when an unseen figure shoots Lester in the back of the head at . Ricky and Jane find Lester's body. Carolyn is in her closet, discarding her gun and crying hysterically as she hugs Lester's clothing. A bloodied Frank, wearing surgical gloves, returns home: a gun is missing from his collection.
Lester's closing narration describes meaningful experiences during his life; he says that, despite his death, he is happy there is still so much beauty in the world.
"Jeez, this movie is a whole lot darker than most movies." He replied.
"Well, what did you think that this is going to happen?" I asked.
"I don't know, maybe something romantic and that's why there's this naked girl that's looking at us with a smile." He said.
"You have a point there." I said.
The next morning soon woke up and I can hear some cooking going on. The smell of bacon tingled my nostrils and that was enough to make me hungry. I woke up to the smell and listened to the sound of the birds chirping.
Then I felt my tummy rumble and I held on it.
Mmmmm......
I better go and see who's cooking in the kitchen.
I looked over to see Hyunjin, making some breakfast for all of us. He flipped the pancakes over to the plate and cracked some eggs too on another pan. He looked over to see me coming along his way.
"Ay, good morning." He smiled.
"Morning, Hyunjin. I wonder where's your sister." I said.
"Yeji is still sleeping so I don't usually wake her up now. I usually wait for another 10 minutes or so." He replied.
"Oh, I see." I nodded my head.
After he served the plate to the table, I sat down and dug into the pancakes and bacon.
"Mmmm..... you make a great breakfast." I smiled.
"Thanks, I've took a couple of lessons with Felix." Hyunjin said, "Oh, and by the way, Yeji is still sleeping at this hour so I don't usually wake her up until 10 minutes or so."
"Oh, I see." I nodded my head.
10 minutes later, Hyunjin came down with Yeji and she was all sleepy-eyed.
"Good morning, Yeji!" I beamed.
"Morning, you two. I better eat something so I can get started for the day with Yeonjun." Yeji said.
"Oooh, let me know how your little date goes." I said.
"I will!" Yeji beamed.
