loneliness

much as i love my job, there is a degree of loneliness when you are out of the country on assignment. sometimes you are lucky enough to get a decent hotel in a ravaged country, but a nice empty room is a poor substitute for being with the person you love.

sao di de!

ah seng's first starring role in a (mini) motion picture. we're so proud of him for taking out with bad guys with one fell swoop of his broom and three swishes of his "good morning" towel.

all hail our new action hero.

space filler: smoke break

helps to have a phone camera when you look up at a unseasonably beautiful sky while on a smoke break

pop art

take three bored photographers with a penchant for the dramatic, one newly opened apple store, one new imac with built in isight, one photo booth program, and a thumbdrive (to cart the images home) and this is what you get.








heh.

wanderlust

it's been over a month since i've been back at work, and just when i thought that i was back into the swing of things, i head over to the airport for an assignment, and suddenly realize that the wunderlust has taken a hold of me again. you'd think that having gone to sri lanka, the maldives, india, japan, indonesia and australia since the beginning of this year, that i'd have had my fill of travelling for the year. but sadly, that hasn't happened yet.

at least i have one more trip to look forward to before the end of the year, going back to tsunami hit areas for a one year anniversary special. i have hopes that things will be better, but from what i remember of the bureaucracy and red tape, i wouldn't be surprised if things are exactly the same as i left them.
