Again and Again and Again
Alas I have returned to the humble retreat of Brunei, a land of sparkling architectural feats (though only a few) but yet having nothing much to boast about in the entertainment department. Once
again, boredom happens to be my no.1 problem throughout the progress of every day
but i guess its sort of typical when your living in a place where most of your friends have dispersed across the face of the globe and the most hip and happening night scene happens to be a mocktail 'bar' that also happened to borrow the name of a more famous restaurant (coughchilliscough). I guess its just sort of quality or aura that the country possesses, sort of like a hermit crab that excavates its way into innocent sea shells. Similairly, i can feel time slowly ebb away, tick by tick, bam, its another day.
Interestingly, when time comes in excess, we rediscover activities that we once found entertaining to be an effective antidote for such a problem. Once again, i am reaquinted with many online games as well as tv (oh sweet tv, how i have missed you).
Changing clothes everyday, once merely a daily routine, has now become peculiar; its just very tempting to slip the same pair of shorts back on.
Oh, and need i mention the internet speed... 50kb/s download speed?!?! thats unheard of at INTI (well cept of DC)'.
It would also be interesting to note changes in my friends whom i will be meeting tomorrow. Though now they are sparse in numbers, I'm expecting wiser, more matured people who I can engage with in political and global debates... well maybe thats wishful thinking on my part. ;)
But the main importance here is to note that if two countries within the same region I'm of relatively similair backgrounds and history is so different in so many different aspects (the people, the culture, the food, the government.... yadidayadida), what am I to expect in the states? Ooo humbug....
Ah the capital of Brunei... don't let aerial shot fool you, there
really isn't anything more than wat you see.
