yawn
Why bother trying to help out the less fortunate, when over 22,000 people get killed because of one earthquake?
I don’t understand.
How does God love show in these horible times?
How are we meant to respond?
Went and saw two films today (Blade Trinity and The Increadibles). It was good fun. Neither film was life changing but it was a nice way to spend half a day.
I have discovered the secret to achieving weight loss over the Christmas period. Get a stomach wog which will ensure all the food you eat pases straight through you.
Christmas is a time to be selfish. It’s a time to recieve lot’s of presents from people you really don’t like that much. It’s a time to get very drunk on alchool other people paid for.
I am very tired. But at last I am home. Got to spend a bit of time with some of my friends who came to the airport. But I am really dog tied now. So good night blog world.
I am currently 11277m high. The time is 4.14pm in Sydney. I have about four hours and 15min left of flight time. Listening to U2 All that you can’t leave behind. I am mainly feeling tired and bored at this stage. I just want to get off the plane get through customs and immigration. No real profound thoughts at this point in time. It’s kind of fun writting a blog entry on the plane. Another five years and I’ll be able to post it from the plane. Oh joy. My laptop is far to big for economy seats. But the screen is like 5 times bigger then the passenger entertainment ones.
I haven’t watched any movies on this leg. Well actually I watched a bit of Catwoman, but couldn’t be to finish it. So I have been reluctant to put on another movie. That’s all for now.

Listening to Khe Shan in the airport lounge at KL. I spent $18US which has got me unlimited Coke, snacks, shower and internet. What more could you want?
My flight leaves here at 9.45am and arrives in Sydney 8.40pm. At least that’s the plan anyway.
Flight here sucked. I was next to a man who was not a very pleasent person to sit next to. He kept on elbowing me and belching. Grr.
Anyway now to work out what the time is here in KL.
Well I am now in the limbo that is the gate lounge. On the taxi ride here I felt my first bit of sadness about leaving India. I think I am going to miss a lot of things. People too. One of my friends brought me a little cycle rickshaw model. They are the best. You pull them back then they go. Lot’s of fun.
I got my bag security wrapped for the hell of it. I had too many ruppies left over. Then went though check-in which was quick and painless.
Emigration on the other hand was a bit more complex. I picked the wrong line and got a really slow guy doing my emigration paper work. He decided eventually that he wanted me to fill in a new departure card. Apparently my one from Raxaul wasn’t good enough.
I have tried to get online. There are two wireless networks I can access but I have no way to purchase a time on them. They don’t tell me where to go to buy it.
Not much else to tell except I am a bit sick in the stomach. All good fun.
I am all packed up and ready to go. I leave the house hour and a half. I have thrown out so much stuff. I have been reminded of the bit in the Bible where it talks about not storing riches on earth but in heaven. If I can not even take all my stuff with me when travelling across the earth, what chance do I have of taking it to the afterlife.
1)People
2)The Dodge Factor
3)How cheap stuff is

My 2nd last day in Delhi has been quite busy. Started in the morning with breakfast at the American Diner. Then off to CP with a friend to change their airline ticket. After that I had lunch at home and then went to work.
I am now finished at central office. But have a stack more stuff to do when I get home :-).
It feels strange that I am leaving tommorow. The last few days always go quickly.
I was just watching an interview. He struggles to answer any questions. Complete english sentences seemed beyond him. Who would put him in charge of so many nukes?
