uploaded the pictures again painstakingly just for my plentiful pictures, thin text attempt.

the crew

the flight

the destination

and the hour-long wait

on board the bus doomed

doomed to break down in the middle of nowhere that is

marooned, yet unfazed and just taking in the sights

hotel taman sari, like you can't read

home, yet not quite


the first of many black outs to come, on the first night no less

our limosine

it's quite roomy in there

oh wait, that's no limo

zipping around in the super market; it's the trolley; the candies; the caffine

my everyday trip, stocking up on water, and snacks, and "relax" time according to mr tham

meeting the leprindo students - the guys

and of course - the ladies

our screening site

the aisle that i'd walk down everyday, each time with different partners no less

setting up the site for screening

i'm begging for forgiveness
nah, just sweeping the floor with my hands
nah, just sticking some tape on the floor


MANY PEOPLE


the aisle, not so blissfully empty this time though


and i wondered why i had a backache


thankfully then, for my partner


and then i got a headache


can't you tell?


filling in the patients' records at the end of the day

having lunch in shifts before heading abck to the trenches


de-briefing back at the hotel every night

the dull

the serious



but more often than not, the funny

having some well deserved fun

slimming therapies are not all that safe


on the streets of kota serang on a bechak


better than the doomed bus


and for that matter, the limo


two less than bright beings cleaning their wounds after playing football barefooted on the streets on kota serang - the indonesians themselves wore shoes - it was that rough


jo's blister; i got off a little lighter

the team that achieved

the team that awed
