Oh yes, I may have been away for a while but I am back and ready for Round 2. VSO, the org. sponsored me to head to Bwindi, Uganda in the first place thinks I should stay in Uganda for another 6 months after my initial 6 months. Many say I am nuts to be headed to Africa in the first place and now I am an official nutter to stay here for so long...upto a year. My mother will zzzzz. Yay!!!...zzzzz.mzzzzzz...oh well. Maybe I'll call home. I so happen to agree with VSO that my work is far from done which is why I am staying put. Thing is I am never great at first impressions so the second half of anything for me is always the better half.
I just came back from Lake Bunyoni, a magical paradise gulf islands type of place ...similar to the Gulf Islands off western Canada's coast. I am still teaching people computers here but more and more I am proving to be as effective as a troubleshooter and electrician. I got assigned to the upcoming power development project set to revolutionize the power infracstructure here in Bwindi. The hospital hopes to get a 24/7 power available...yahoo..a working fridge and cold beers if I am lucky. Furthermore, I also learnt one of my friends maybe ...highly likely headed to Kenya for work and well....Nairobi is as close to Kampala and Uganda as any of my friends have gotten. Trip to Zanzibar I hear is in the works and I am hoping to see the truth of Indian meets Middle East meets African. Great Beaches I hear in Zanzibar too.
Work wise, I am zzzzz. There doesn't seem to be the same zzzzzfactor to work anymore, but then I just came back from vacation and well my brain is something that I either use it or lose it. Apparently 5 days away from work was enough to fried my brain to it "lose it" state. KNow what I spend my vacation doing? I was in Kabale learning how to use Linux operating system from ym friend and later when to the lake of an island paradise to study physics. And yes I got a Z in first year physics. I need to refocus and get some results at work hence the interest in rereading the physics textbook I so dreaded in university. As I am now the chief person here with any sense and understand of basic electrical knowledge, I am planning a lecture/teaching sesson on electricity and safety. Hey might as well since this hospital and surrounding community will soon get 24/7 power. But knowing Africa, soon could be years down the line. Hopefully this is just months down the line.
We all got two sides to us. Me, it's my lateral side that is better in everyway. My better half for some reason always tends to finish last.
I finally watched the Canadian film Juno. Great film, made in Vancouver too. Yay!!! And of course....GO HABS!!!!

Devil you know; devil in angel costume
I m sick now and suffering from a terrible zzzz headache. :(
But at least I m getting smarter. Apparently migraine stimulate my creativity and shortens my learning curve. And can make me better at table tennis. Well, maybe it's actually dimming my abilities...with a head hurt like this I really can't tell.
I was suppose to have gone to a backpacker island paradise with friends and chilled out there for a few days. Lake Bunyoni....inside a volcano and very pretty. But inthe end my friends ditched me and I fell sick...ahh..."I m too sick"...my exact words tzzzzze who zzzzzme back to health. But I guess the physical hurt can be treated, but the mental damage is lasting...takes longer to heal...if it heals at all. :S
So this sickness is round 2 of an old game. No fever and no incapacitation either. I can still work and move around quite well. But this time the sickness is lasting longer. Fortunately, I live and work right beside a hospital with 4 very zzzzz doctors and an army of zzzz to call upon. And some of these zzzz are damn right zzzzzz[Deleted by Right to Censor]. I meazzzzzzz up my uniforms and zzzzz. Hrmm...I wonder if zzzz zzzz do that?
It is entering my 5th month in Bwindi and Uganda is starting to look like home, just a twisted interpretation of home. At work I m, as usually, being called upon to take on titles and roles outside my original job description. Of course I ain't a medical student, so my responsibilities merely fall within the non-clinical aspects of the hospital. But enough about work.
Personal life has been a script from the movie dazed and confused instead Izzzzzzzz zzzzz and no lesbians. Then their is the zzzzzz. Yes, zzzzzz. Then their is the nzzzzz. And then active zzzz. Cute zzzz. Mysterious zzzzz. The taken zzzzz. Oh yeah who can forget the one timer zzzz. Then again I got no reason to complain. At least my table tennis games has improved due 2 the zzzz one. And my pool game has been great due to the zzzzzz. [Deleted by Right to Censor]. My appreciation for french zzzz came from the zzzz one. Others...well not sure yet. Still in the zone...I meanzzzzzz [Deleted by Right to Censor].
So yeah....I got two more months here in Bwindi. Then I got no clue where to go. Of course I may not be going anywhere if things fall as such. Tat is I may well be zzzzz. But I got a better chance of going to France this year than having dinner with Mr. zzzzzz. I wonder if the devil ever attends church...hrm
