I am taking a stab at the latin in the title of this post. But my meaning is supposed to be: “Time is painful”.
That is, I wish it would flee because at present it’s not and it’s becoming unbearable.
Eleven days left here in Brunei and frankly if it were over now it wouldn’t [...]

Tempus Fugit…at least when one is having fun.
I have spent four and this is to be my fifth and final night in Bangkok. I should have gone backpacking four years ago….
Legend has it that it’s always the things you don’t do that you regret as opposed to the things that you do. And [...]

How cool is this? I am hand-writing this blog entry on my PDA in the airport en wireless internet as I await my departure to Bangkok from Bandar Seri Begawan in Negara Brunei Darussalam.
Again small things amuse small minds. Such is life.

This is a [...]

BD is so much more fun when alcohol is involved. Fortunately alcohol is only a short trip over the border.
If you know people with cars, this is no problem.
So it was bliss today drinking beer (singaporean) whilst watching the South China Sea roll in on the beach.
Small things amuse small minds.
Twin Tubs are an interesting novelty to use.
And that is all they seem to have here.
Novelty wears off pretty quick though.
Wireless Internet (especially free wireless internet) from coffee shops will never lose its novelty.
Especially when it’s muggy outside and airconditioned inside.
Bliss.
MSN conversations abound….. big downloads are plenty.
Can’t wait for all the holidays next week (thank [...]
There are big gutters.
They smell.
There are four brands of pretend Oreos.
The air conditioning is arctic.
The food is cheaper to eat out than in
The people are nice.
I feel like I am in a big-brother household gone horribly wrong.
Such is life.
