wow, dad's really going to Ethiopia for a year...going to build some big reservoir for the farmers down there....

It looks like mom's more worried than my dad over this. dad did some work at Guinea Bissau a while back and i think that's one of the bigger reasons for him going to Africa rather than a younger engineer.....

for me, i don't know... I've been so indifferent about my family for such a long time that i really don't know what to think about this....

one good news though, my brother's coming back from Australia soon so at least my mom will have more "free" hands(I have been nagging her to get some more temps but to no avail..she's just too shrewd) around the bakery from now.
