And i won't look down...
60 hours of work.7 hours of sleep.
Somehow, despite all this, I'm still wide awake awaiting the Man U game. I'm too lazy to organise my points toay so let me just let go....
The tsunami crisis is huge, i cant believe how bad things are, especially in Aceh, where bodies prob outnumber those living... I feel so fortunate for everything here, and being at the contact centre at ICA has not made me any blinder to the realities of this crisis. I spent my time at the command post today reading thru articles on the internet station to make sure i was au fait with the whole issue, especially the numbers dead. I feel really sad when i pas by the relatives at the holding area, guilt even, for walking around, feeling ok when they feel sad. Oh well, today i saw an old couple waiting, and i wondered how it would feel to know nothing bout your Next of Kin....Work is tough, but thinkin bout doing my best for the ppl whose suffering my fatigue can never compare to,is enough to keep me going.
Friends
This goes out to Cecil, Rif, Puv and Jon. YEst was the 7th year we've had our new year gathering, and it was the most challenging yet. The rain came not once, twice, but three times, wetting our tent and all, destroying our barbeque, but ultimately, what got us thru was our frendship. I will never forget me, puv, rif and cecil standing around the pit, shielding the bbq from the rain, and cooking the food under that little roof/groundsheet. Cold we were, but we never budged, insisting instead to not spoil the day. And even though ihad to rush of for work at 2 am, I had a great time. Somehow, its things like this, that assures me i still have friends in this world. 364 more days to the next one.
Out.
