went shopping all the way in natick with huma. i bought another pair of shoes (inexpensive, of course), a really nice (not to mention pretty expensive) purple shirt and a pair of black pants. we each wanted to buy a fish (and see whose dies first), but they don't come cheap at natick mall.
some people might get headaches when they come into my room. the songs playing on my computer change from hindi-malay-english-arabic-urdu-japanese. i like to think that it's good for my brain to get used to the different sounds.
i already registered for my hindi/urdu class and i'm thinking whether or not i should do epiic this year. the topic is pretty interesting; united states' role in the world. it's a really demanding course though, and it's for one whole year. i have to think more about it. i need to pull my grades up and epiic is no easy feat.
abang nazlen had just come to pick up his batik shirt. we talked about abang sabri's condition and it sounds pretty bad. his lungs, heart and kidneys, none are functioning as they should anymore. the malaysian boston is having a solat hajat for him tomorrow. let's all pray that he'll get better and that both him and kak tini will be strong through all this.
apparently the consulate general of malaysia in new york is having a merdeka day celebration this sunday. it's an open to all event. i'm thinking of going, if paddy says yes, then i'm all set to go.
