Sleepless in Geneva

My first night wearing a splint or a night guard is really not a pleasant one. Its already 1.25 am and I am still wide awake as I am not used to sleeping having something in my mouth. it really does feel like someone choking me with a set of dentures in my mouth. I am diagnosed as having bruxism which is a condition of grinding the teeth whilst asleep. The condition if not treated can lead to serious damage to the teeth and also an arthritis to the joints connecting the jaw and the skull just near the ears. In medical term this is known as TMJ disorder and the associated symptoms can include popping sound on the jaw joints, migraine in the morning, headache and a continous toothache. Actually I have all of those nagging pains. So I really am hoping for a cure and my best hope is this night guard that I have to put on every night that is causing me to lose my sleep. If this sleeplessness is going to run for a few days, I will probably lose my sanity...

ASEAN Family Night

I really love my kids. They are such a joy to watch. They enjoy doing things together. I guess that is the consequence of having to spend away from everyone else in Brunei they end up relying on each other for company. Yes, there was the occasional sibling rivalry but not that serious.

On our first two weeks here, we had the annual ASEAN Family Night. Each country would show case a cultural performance. I asked my kids if they wanted to volunteer and they all nodded yes. Thankfully they had been active at their previous school during my previous posting. Afiqah and Ameerah took part in the singing Idol competition. Syafiq played the key board and my two boys took part in the school choir. I told them we needed to showcase our "joget Brunei" to show that our country is also very rich in our cultural heritage. Thankfully my wife was willing to choreograph the moves and thanks also to Youtube, the kids were able to put up this ensemble in just a couple of days in our small hotel room.
