New name, new face
Hello there, I've moved to a new address:

Doomsday
What a productive Sunday! I/We:

Might as well resurrect this dead ol' blog too, eh? -
saturday night
notwithstanding the fact that i have not slept in three days, my forehead feels surprisingly uncluttered. with my mind's eye, i can see the various things i have dropped on the floor in my haste to get to where i am now: my house keys attached to a yellow plastic key chain, various bottles of water drunk to various levels of emptiness, papers, ( Read more... ) -

i'm reading up on soil remediation studies for work. it reminds me of the nights i used to spend in the science library when i was at university. i always used the third floor because it was usually the least populated area. i'd go there after dinner with a hot thermos full of tea and my laptop. i'd accumulate the library books that are related to ( Read more... ) -
more hungry ghost observations
my burmese neighbour who lives downstairs from me came back from myanmar last night. he had been away for almost four months because a cyclone exploded all over his city just as he was about to leave. his booming laughter was still as intense as ever as he related to us how the cyclone blew away the roof of his mother's house. a little kid i didn't ( Read more... )
