Goodbye Helmand & Welcome Nimruz

9th July 2011, Finally I'm visiting my new assignments place, another provinces namely Nimruz and the capital name is Zahranj. It's one of the most lovely hazard provinces in Afghanistan, after Kandahar - Helmand - Nimruz and Zabul.. "Be prepared and expect for the unexpected things".

I suggestive myself that I'm ready, I'm good to see new place for my placement and I'm very excited. Anyway, it's not be along time, maximum I'll be in Nimruz for one month I said. The interesting things as the city relatively safe for foreigners to hang around. So far, no bullet and bomb raining around.

After about 6months based in lovely Laskhar Gah city in Helmands, which it's hard to see the live outside the "jail" with the security and safety concern.. then it's really really make me sick of this jail and being totally bouring.. that's why I become so much excited.. for my new journey to Zaranj.

I said my Goodbye to everyone I knew in Laskhar Gah, Goodbye Mahboob and Wahid Khan, Edo and the boss Howard and to my guards friends and the cook "Nazar" as well.. Goodbye I said, I'm going to miss you all.. it's only a month.. then I'll be back here in Helmand.. Insya Allah. I'm ready, then move to the car to send me to the airport in Laskhar Gah..

Just close my eyes.. I'll be there... yeah.. I just closed my eyes.. and now I'm in Zaranj city already.. in Nimroz... Goodbye Helmand, and Welcome Nimroz.. Zahranj.. ALL IS WELL.. yeah AIW.. All is Well.. this jungle also WELL.

Lazy time in Lask

Today is off day here.. another lazy time in Laskar Gah.. time passing, now at 7.50 pm, I am watching "Chandani Chowk to China" movie at Dish TV channel. As it's holiday and our chef is off day today, then I have to cook my own food.

Cooking is not a big deal anymore for me here, on holiday I have plenty time to learn cook. Now I can made by myself 4 types of my favourites food already here namely:
-Tomyam, noodle tomyam and tomyam gong; perkedel - potatoes craquettes; muang bean desserts and bakso - meatballs, mie sop, fried rice bakso and so on.. so on..

It's very good if we can make our own food.. it's AWESOME. The cook become easier.. and lot of fun now. This morning I have made my muang bean dessert for breakfast, and lunch time I made my fried rice bakso. I have my snack noodle bakso on - mie bakso this afternoon. I made them for dinner as well. If I'm hungry later.. I will just fput them in the oven and enjoy eating them again.

Tonite will do my exercise though.. just trying to get some sweats in my room.. then continue eating my bakso and fried rice bakso... I made some photos around my living this afternoon also. The trees start growing and flowers blooming.. welcoming spring here. Hmmm.. another 5months to go.. GO .. GO.. GO.. am I felt bore here ?? am I ... though yes.. felt like living in big cages with full of facilities that made you bore BORE BORING if you can't manage them... yup.. NO.. NO.. I am all right.. I'm just fine.. I'm good.. I'm GREAT.. I'm Awesome.. I'm.. I'm.. I'm be survive.. yeah YEAH.. yeah.. if GOD Willing!

Playing Over - Back Study Yahoooo.com :)

End of the playing time, the begin of studying time :)

Yesterday, we met to play our Frisbee at the same beautiful place "the field of Convent School". It's always nice to have playing the game at fresh outdoor field. We use two Frisbee's disc plates at this time (green and blue) .. wow.. that's more interesting.

Each player need to call other players name to make them alert to catch the discs. We need to be more conscious and focus to catch and throw the discs. About 45mnts we finished the games, I experienced bath sweating as usual and still not get used yet for the nice shoot. hmmm.. I need to practice more, and more.. more.

One of our Frisbee friend will be back travelling to Medan today for a month. So, he leave us his plate disc and also one "cambodian/vietnam's tek tek game" I called that. It's commonly use in rural area in Indonesia last time. While I was kid I did play the game. "Tek Tek" is a set of chicken feather with round skin foundation. The players need to throw it by kick it to other players. Another interesting games, I saw that in Ho Chi Minh and Cambodia some locals play that game beautifully. We will practice that game soon.. :)


I am thinking to finish my pleasure time and back to focus on my study. I have a lot of things to be prepared for my study. I though... Holiday.. over.. playing times finished.. hehehe.. Yeah I need to make my commitment and be discipline to start doing my research.. read read READ, and write write WRITE for my study. Yahoooooo.com... see, how excited I'm to back for my study ;) hehehe.

I intent to spend 8 hours a day for my study.. hmmm.. can I do that ?? Mamamiyah lezato.. ahggggggggg.. Although I already have many journals related with my reseach topics but I'm still feeling lazy to start reading and writing. They all untouchable still ;) Anyway that's my good choice to study back. I need to start soon as long as no more others days to read and write. "Welcome to the Reality Live Show drunkerhero" :) hehehe.

I'll start today, 3 May 2010 from 2pm back to study.. spents 8 hours to read the journals, and write :) hahaha.. 8 hours a day again, I doubt ?? I'm still questioning my self. I have negative thinking of the monotous reading of the scientific journals that very hard for me to understand.. oh oh.. miracles.. MIRACLES.. come to me.. please give me a little spirit to understand what the Dr, Professors or other smart educated peoples in this world write in their journals actually.. hehehe. I'm dreaming again, read bro.. READ so you will understand.. Iqro.. Iqro.. no miracles just Iqro.. :)
