Sleepy post

Nothing much to say. Today my students starts their mid-sem exam. So this week instead of teaching I will be busy invigilating. I hate invigilating, if when I was studying exams were horrible well now I think conducting and invigilating exams are worse.
Well a bit sleepy today so brain is a bit slow, cannot think of anything to write. So I guess that's it for today. Til I wake up properly.

Dramatic Raya

Well, yesterday was Aidiladha and we only had enough money for the kuah kacang (peanut gravy) and nasi impit (compacted rice) and the ingredients for rendang but not for the meat or chicken. Abang went out to play and then came home requesting to follow his friend to the surau where there had the Qurban. He came back and very loudly anounced that he is bringing back meat free of charge. He was so happy about it. So with the meat that my lil' bro provided we cooked our rendang and our raya is complete. Alhamdulillah!

I came to work this morning open up my mail, what do you know there was a mail from a uni' friend whom I haven't heard from for such a long time. She told me the news that she now have a boy, nearly a year old, and I am so glad for her. She was among the first of my friends to get married, and she was at one point worried that she is not getting pregnant. When she was going on to UK to pursue her PhD we joke like her parents who had their first and second child in UK, she would follow suit, and she did. Uk has been good to her family.

I guess that's about it for now. Til I have interesting things to write.
