Starting a New Life Abroad

How’s life going on these days?

I haven’t found the time to write more about my business trip last week.

How I wish I’ve got more time.
And some extra hands.
And an additional head.
Then I’ll be a freak show who can think about more things and do more tasks.

I’ve been swamped with works as soon as I got back yesterday afternoon. I never joked when I said I should earn a magister degree by the end of this project.
Busy, busy, busy.
Yet I’ve managed to write this shit now.
How’s that possible?
Because first, I feel bad if I neglect my blog too long unless when I’m on holiday.
Second, because what I’m writing now is crap.

I’ve been reading The Minds of Billy Milligans (I should say many thx to My Boss for the book, he knw me well that I Love to read). It’s a true story of a young man who suffered from MPD and was convicted of several kidnappings and rapes. Because of his traumatic childhood, his mind was split into 24 personalities. I’m halfway through the book and it’s been really difficult to put down. It’s one of the few books that’s got my total attention. I had read Sybil more than 10 years ago and was captivated by the story but somehow I feel Billy’s story has brought out more emotions, from awe, disbelief, anger to sadness.

A thought had loomed in my head when I started reading Billy Milligan. It was a wonderment about why I have never come across a published work on an MPD case in Britain or Europe in general. To name a few, Sybil and Billy are Americans.
Are there any European cases out there that I’ve overlooked? Or are the Europeans more cynical towards the MPD controversies than the Americans?
Whatever the actual reason is, I’m genuinely curious. It’ll be brilliant if I can find the answer though. Any suggestion and/or information are welcome.

Enuf about the psych stuff and let’s move along to movies.
Good god! I’ve got tons of films to watch, either on DVDs or in my external hard disk, from Japanese drama and Hollywood movies to world cinemas and world cup *LOL* Again, time is the essence here and I seem to always run out of it. Although I do spend most of my nights during weekdays watching some of the films, I’ve still got loads to go. I used to do a movie marathon over the weekend but recently my weekends have been flying so mind-blowingly fast and I’ve always been away. Mind you, I couldn’t recall the last time I spent my weekend staying home.

So yeah…
Between Multiple Personality Disorder, too many films to watch, several reports to review, one isolated precious, picking up the right colours most of the time, the World Cup (I too, with no resistance, have caught the fever… without having to wake up at 1AM! Hahaha!), and cherishing (finally) a brand new fridge… I’m doing alright.

Life’s been great to me.
I hope it’s been treating you well too.
