Cooking a New Rice Dish and Grading Papers

Pah went for her annual check-up. That leaves me to cook the rice (only).


And then, by nightfall, I had tallied and posted grades for two classes. The third course will have the grades up by ten tomorrow.

Mattresses, Bedsprings and dot dot dot

I was wrong!

There were more than just a queen mattress and coffee table that we had to pick up!

How about a queen box spring as well as another for the twin, two bed frames, a dinner table, a coffee table, and four metal-framed chairs.

Wow! But I perspired. That felt good.

In the afternoon, I'll be picking up Bassam's brother's family from the Airport.

Washed the Van

No, we did not continue the work on the Camry. Instead, I shopped, enjoyed some nasi lemak, and got the kids to clean and wash the van, inside out. All but vac and wax. I will vac it tomorrow, probably after delivering the sofa and coffee table.

My First Day Off!

Finals were given yesterday, and grades due Wednesday next week. But for all practical purposes, I am off until the 2nd of September.

Yeee HAAAAA!!


One of my early favorites, and why!


Bee Gees : Holiday


Ooh youre a holiday , such a holiday
Ooh youre a holiday , such a holiday

Its something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If not then youre throwing stones
Throwing stones, throwing stones

Ooh its a funny game
Dont believe that its all the same
Cant think what Ive just said
Put the soft pillow on my head

Millions of eys can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
Its unkind, its unkind

De de de de de de de de de de de de de
De de de de de de de de de de de de de

Yet millions of eyes can see
Yet why am I so blind
When the someone else is me
Its unkind, its unkind

Ooh you're a holiday , every day , such a holiday
Now its my turn to say , and I say you're a holiday
Its something I thinks worthwhile
If the puppet makes you smile
If now then youre throwing stones
Throwing stones , throwing stones

De de de de de de de de de de de de de de

Minding the smartbiru...

I took out the wheel covers off my smart, and here's how the wheels look like!
Dirty at 6,940 miles...
Clean, clean, clean, la la la la la..
The rear wheels look even more macho. Muhsin and the others like them this way; coverless..
So smart's covers go into storage...haha
