Some unimportant updates

My, it’s been weeks since my last post. My vacationing brother has come and gone, Ramadhan too, is ending very soon. What’s to update? These are the trivial things:

1. I have repainted my car. Now it is respectable again. It’s funny how it drives better too.

2. I finally got the hang of “torrents”. Too bad for the “pirate” merchants of Ferringhi night market. I now watch House MD Season 4 almost as if I'm in America. The torrent will be available 1 or 2 days after the episode is aired. J'adore les torrents!

3. And I have fallen in love with the music and word wizardry of Jason Mraz. Try listen to his debut album “Waiting for My Rocket to Come” – you’ll be hooked. Here’s a sample of the words from his song “Life is Wonderful”, from his sophomore album:

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears before I trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished.

Brilliant!

4. I am a few pages into “A Walk In The Woods” by Bill Bryson. God, help me finish it. I like to finish my books as fast as I could, but this one is difficult – it is so funny. Last night, I laughed until tears came out. I’ll give it another go tonight.

That's all for now. I'll come back after the Eid, insyaAllah. So, happy celebrating y’all. Drive safe.
