why wy?

Am ipodless for the first time ever, it's on loan to dr kev, before he goes to aceh as part of the singapore army medical team. Some bloggers are complaining why it's taking so long - the first team will leave tomorrow, five days after the tsunami hit. but from what i understand, any military mission needs to be approved by the cabinet first, which is a sensible thing to do, in a democracy (maybe a bit faster next time). and there was also something about aceh being in the midst of civil war and therefore a sensitive issue with the indonesians.

we sent kev off with tiger beer and teh alia (ginger tea) last night, and recommended ciggies and which sweets to give out to the street children. the sweets, not the ciggies.
