But not too busy to share this short film, cos it's awesome, and everyone should see it. It'll take awhile to load but it's well-worth the wait. :)

| Aceh was.... amazing.
Feels kinda surreal to be back. Do I really live this life? Is there really a 'limitless' supply of water? Are those dark patches on the ground really not dung? Is that cold air blowing outta that machine on the wall? Is that me in that full-length mirror?
I didn't know what to expect, but this was reallly the kampong life, and I had the most amazing time. Great team, great people, great experiences, great interviews. Re-building lives takes time and they're still on their way, some of the devastation will always be there I think. But the people are moving on strong and I'm happy for them for that.
Really tired now, I washed my hair once in the past 5 days, had 1.5 showers (since the water and power conked out on me on the first nite), stepped into a big pile of cow dung as well, so I think I'm due for a shower. Back to NZ tmr, really looking forward to it. :) More updates to come... with pictures when I do get them.

| Words of wisdom from Mr. Hitchcock...
"In many of the films now being made, there is very little cinema: they are mostly what I call "photographs of people talking". When we tell a story in cinema, we should resort to dialogue only when it's impossible to do otherwise. I always try first to tell a story the cinematic way [...]."

I am officially the world's worst best friend. :(
I'm too preoccupied with too many things now and I think my friends can tell.
I wish I could just stop thinking.
I wish I could meet up with more people.
Incredibly excited bout Aceh...
Back to You script needs to be done.
I hate the dentist. Why did I have to have such lousy teeth...
Loose ends need to be tied up...no running away from them.
Funny how things never turn out the way you think they will.
It's true when they say your social circle gets smaller the older you get.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder... does absence also make the heart grow colder?

I need sleep.
Singapore is a crazy place.

| Singapore once again...
It feels really strange to be back this time somehow. I guess it's normal ay, feeling more and more attached to NZ and more far away from here. I still feel a great affinity to this place no doubt, it'll always be home. But everytime I come back I feel my heart increasingly being rooted in NZ, I'm starting to think settling down there eventually might not be so much outta the question. It's just kinda weird always going between one place and another, with diff cultures, people, landscape...
Having said that though, it's good to be back and I can't wait to meet up with all my home-boys and girls over the next few days. Gonna be a crazy 3 weeks here methinks. :D
