Basketball at Midnight

For you, dear reader, this post marks the end of many things.  Due to unstable relations with the internet and a lot of obligations, deadlines, reservations, and things that do not set aside enough time for my soul, I have been unable to send any of the three or four posts I’ve wanted to send, [...]

Let’s take a minute away from the reminiscing and catching up and talk about the present.  I’m hanging out on Tuk Tuk, a little jut of lad off the giant island in the middle of the massive Lake Toba somewhere in the heart of Sumatra.  I think I read it’s actually a massive volcanic crater [...]

Now: Here I am on Langkawi, an Archipelago on the Northwest side of Malaysia. It’s nice, and there’s no taxes, so it can be cheap, but it’s just a day’s rest before I go to Penang and then Sumatra. It might have been smarter to just go to Penang to begin with, [...]

As of about 14:00, KL Time, today, Friday, 8/8/08, I was thrust forth from my den of responsibility and obligation into a new period of self-willed exploration and adventure.
It took me nearly 6 hours, until 20:00, to achieve the bare minimum to make me feel that I will be able to survive the next 2 [...]

Earth Camp, which happened Sun-Tuesday of last week, completely exhausted and destroyed me, and after lying on the floor drooling for the two days that followed, I took off on my one and only great road trip of the first 9 months of 2008. My little 100 cc motorscooter and I, over the course of [...]

We had a three day weekend to celebrate the birth of the Sultan (the eight year old).  What better way to celebrate the head of the State of Terengganu than by leaving it?  As it turns out, Deepani (who has been working in Sri Lanka) was in Singapore visiting her cousin.  Since Singapore is only [...]

I was chatting on-line with Andrea, with whom I have been friends for over 10 years (10 years and 2 months, I believe).  You may remember her from such great clips as “Conversation with a Turk who was using my AIM account.”  Well, she just discovered that her mini flourescent light was going out, sent [...]

Photos from Angkor Wat and English Camp now available in my picasa web albums.  Link to the right, or click right here.

I just returned from English Camp, which is a 48-hour (3 day) ETA-run “camp” at a resort for all participating schools.  We had 25 students from each of 6 schools and ran with the theme of “Space”: that all the kids were separated into delegations from various planets that must come together and work out [...]

CONGRATULATIONS JEFF AND NEDA!
To those who are unaware, they are now married.
Sorry for the lack of an update in a while – I’ve been busy.  I’ve had afterschool activities nearly every day, and even on the weekend.  It’s been relatively fun.
On another note, I have become a complete and total super-dork (you probably already knew [...]
