The story of the three curtains

Wednesday, October 13th, 2004

I managed to discipline myself to pay attention to the alarm I set at 6:30AM. So I dressed up and went down for breakfast - and MC was up already with her two daughters. At around 7:30AM, KMZ and KSW arrived. KSW brought some rice cake (with chickory flavor) and some shredded coconut meat to […]

Meeting old friends

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

I got up a bit earlier today, around 9:00AM, and just had tea and was able to email some urgent matters to Nisar Keshvani about LEA. It has been raining too until around early afternoon. YN called in sick and so couldn’t come to work, and SMA, the young Kachin fellow who was supposed to […]

Aye Aye Win

Just had coffee (3-in-1 mix with cream and sugar) for breakfast today - I got up a bit late, nearly 10:30AM. KZL called and said he’d drop by today instead of the appointed time tomorrow. I finally got time to send a few emails in the morning.
Lunch was rather difficult today - the snake fish […]

Sound night and film night

Saturday, October 9th, 2004

I just survived a grueling day-1 of the sound workshop - there were 9 people, too many - and I’m going to try and finish everything off in two days - so tomorrow we should be able to finish editing all the soundworks.
Today I had to get up extra early - I set the alarm […]

Un-focused

Friday, October 8th, 2004

Maybe the thought of my hosts leaving on Saturday depress me too. It’s still such a short time to be together. Today has been a rather lazy day - I keep getting up to work and then going back to my room to rest. I can’t get my thoughts together and focus on the writing […]

Insiders and outsiders

Thursday, October 7th, 2004

When I got out of my room this morning, the kitten Snow was there ready to run into the room!
I thought of using speech sounds for the sound workshop. Last night we started having problems with one of the two computers. Today, a Christian NGO group came over to look at what the problem was […]
