sometimes work can bog us down so much that you just wanna go out after office hours and get sloshed, and not be able to blog properly for the past week.
but if you think you're being blogged down by stress, just think of the less fortunate amongst us...like the internally displaced people of burma. as posted before, i have a friend working with a refugee camp in northern thailand for the above-mentioned people, and i'm kinda helping him garner some donations...on a personal basis for now...though it may grow into something bigger in the future...i'll let you all know.
anyway, i promised to post some pictures that he took there, which he sent to me a while ago...
youngsters working hard...
internally displaced people 1
they can't leave the camp, they can't look for work outside...
internally displaced people 2
but the children still go to school and get a basic education...which is why books (or any other reading material) would be a great donation...my friend is trying to start a library there...
internally displaced people 3
security is tight there...it's not exactly a safe place...
internally displaced people 4
this could have been your childhood if you were born somewhere else...
internally displaced people 5
do try to help if you can. email me if you're interested:

note: i'd like to thank all you people who have made donations / contributions...you've really made a difference. cheers. =)

what books can we donate??? how do I pass them to them? can I fedex it or what?
sorry comment not related to your entry.... but just heard that (your fellow-Taiwanese) Ang Lee won Best Director for Brokeback Mountain in Oscar 2006!!!
yes, what kind of books? any sensitive issues (religion etc.) to avoid?
=_="
rationalneurotic...any type of english books would do...like textbooks, comics, magazines, etc, etc...sensible stuff lah. thanks. =)
jun...err...i guess religious stuff should probably be avoided lah. i wouldn't want any misunderstandings to be caused by the donations, if you know what i mean. thanks. =)
textbooks for children can right? english ones? ok ok I see. Let you know again. just tendered, so will work out something =) God knows they need it more than I need some more CDs.
Those 3 b&ws you've got, they're gorgeous. You've got a great eye for photography. Keep posting, and thanks for sharing.
