From the kids of Bomani Pri...

Every single time I stepped into the classroom with Class3,

they would start singing this lovely song

'Welcome our teacha, welcome!'

Whenever I think of them, I hear this song in my heart

it brings a smile to my face, and some tears to my eyes.

I miss them.. their smiles, their coy faces and their innocence.

The Last King of Scotland

Another cruel depiction of politics in Africa.
The Last King of Scotland is based on true story of the infamous dictator of Uganda, Idi Amin.
I've long heard about his cruelties, yet strong character who made people love and hate him.
His regime had killed over 30,000 Ugandans, his rule was characterized by human rights abuse, political repression, ethnic persecution and expulsion of Asians from Uganda.
He had only been exulted in 1979, leaving Uganda with destruction and devastation, but yet the will to stand up and head for a better future.

'In the early 1970s, Nicholas Garrigan, a young semi-idealistic Scottish doctor, comes to Uganda to assist in a rural hospital. Once there, he soon meets up with the new President, Idi Amin, who promises a golden age for the African nation. Garrigan hits it off immediately with the rabid Scotland fan, who soon offers him a senior position in the national health department and becomes one of Amin's closest advisers. However as the years pass, Garrigan cannot help but notice Amin's increasingly erratic behavior that grows beyond a legitimate fear of assassination into a murderous insanity that is driving Uganda into bloody ruin. Realizing his dire situation with the lunatic leader unwilling to let him go home, Garrigan must make some crucial decisions that could mean his death if the despot finds out.'

Forest Whitaker's portayal of Idi Amin is as real as it can get..

every move and action seemed so real

even the east african accent.

Amin develops a friendship with Dr Garrigan, a friendship that was doomed
A real character, Dr Garrigan survived Amin's cruel misdoings

and escapes to tell the story...

The real Idi Amin

Travelling's over, what's next?

Alot travellers are faced with the same question after a long period of travelling.
So what's next? Is there still life after travelling?
Of course there is! All our family and friends are back at home, always here for us.
But is everything the same as how it was when u left?
Most probably not.. and You'll never feel like you'll ever fit in again.

Ive grown up and gone thru alot,
now I've realised there is really no need to feel part of home
I no longer need or want to feel like how it used to be.
I like how things are, now and in the past,
no matter how different they are.

So life after travelling.
As how things go in life, next comes lookin for a job,
and settling back to the monotony of life again.
Sigh but how do you move on with it?
It's so difficult changing that whole rhythm in life..

I miss that whole wake up early in the mornin, off we go checkin out new sights n sounds,
intriguing new discoveries, puzzling out-of-the-world traditions..
knockin out late at nite aft a whole day of walking.
I love that feelin, that endless feeling of uncertainty..
that feelin that you'r away from home, you'r always on the move..
i loved it..

Being at home makes u feel aimless again
like you´r just safe and totally in your comfort zone ..
Now it's time to find work again
n to be normal and robotic again...
