fila fali

back in action again after a hiatus.... lots has happened over the past 2 months! i am now timor feto foun having signed on the dotted line with my timor doben.....i am glad his sister got married before us because we had a real taste of a timorese wedding (read = real loud blasting music that shook our thin walls till the wee hours of the night; men getting drunk and refusing to leave; not being able to sleep all night because we had to stay up alert for any trouble)!!! so after that wedding, my doben and i put our foot down and insisted that we go home for our casamentu instead.........so yeah, we took off, with my new ah pa and ah ma, and had a rowdy time back home.....
been a crazy 2 months as i was also struggling to finish up my second paper for my first semester in Masters in Community Development at Deakin Uni..... everything just kinda got squashed together.........but finally.... 2 weeks ago i managed to scrap some things together that faintly resembled coherent papers and got through that.............
of course, our current preoccupation here in Dili has been the elections..... last night, there was shooting near the WFP compound ... apparently some people had provoked the FFDTL standing guard at the Timor Telecom compound and the troops fired some warning shoots that apparently hit close to an ISF post, causing some response from the ISF..... I didn't hear anything cos we live in Becora which is like another world......... but many of my colleagues did and got quite panicky........ no official response as to what really happened. Investigations are underway..
oh and while i was away, blogger actually thought my blog was a spam blog so i was blocked from posting..... now they officially realise there's a human behind this blog... guess i better continue blogging!
will try to write more again..............
