The bus is late

I took a bus from Penang to KL today, and when I bought the ticket I asked “what time will it arrive in KL, they said, “maybe 7 pm”.   Then I thought “why, why did I ask that?” It was the force of habit because it’s not like I have anything else to do today. So there’s actually no substantial difference if it arrives at 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 PM instead. the…

Saying Thank You

It’s hard to describe with words what I felt this morning at the clinic when one of my patients after I finished patching him up, stood up, put his hand on my shoulder, looked at me in the eyes and said: “thanks for looking after me, and the other patients out there, you guys are doing a great job”. He said that even though, I knew he was in pain and had been bleeding out in…

A place to call home

Friend 1: Don’t you ever miss home? Bruno: I don’t know, define home. Friend 1: Well, the place you grew up, or where your parents are. Bruno: But the place I grew up or where my parents are never really felt like home, so why should I call it home? Friend 1: Well, because that’s what most people call home. Bruno: But that would be living in the past, and I have the theory that the…

Relaxation

I usually have problems relaxing, same as most people. I think we all have problems and if we don’t, we just make some up. Most people’s problems revolve around their jobs, careers, school, studies, money, friends, family, house, the future and the past. Mines are a bit different, I worry about things that are happening at this same moment in a different place that I consider unfair. I worry about what to do in the…
