Of Floods and Authors

The East Coast is flooded once again. But this is the worst in decades. And I am worried. My beloved is somewhere in the East Coast, and she told me that at her house, the water level's up to her neck. Luckily she lives in a two-storey bungalow. So, her whole family is living on the second floor. I pray the flood will end today, InsyaAllah.

On Saturday night, went to my sister-in-law's parent's house for their annual raya open house. I know I could just have said my brother's parents-in-law's house, but it amounts to the same thing, right. Anyway, the food, as usual, was fantastic. I had nasi beryani, my all-time favourite dish. Then had a few slices of chocolate cake, brownies, and cheese cake. I mean, what else do you need when you have all that. Nyum!

Yesterday, went to a mamak restaurant with my best buddy. Now that he lives very far away from me, we seldom hang out like we used to. So, it was good to hang out with him. As usual, we would make stupid jokes, and laugh like crazy. I think I noticed some of the customers looking at us. Though I can't be sure. Hmmm.

Currently reading Stephen King's Desperation. Just started reading it yesterday. And as usual, can't put it down. Thanks dear brother. Went to Times the other day, and read a bit of Iain M. Bank's latest novel, The Algebraist. I think that's how its spelled. Anyway, I think that will be one of the books I would like my cousin to get for me. Besides a few books by Haruki Murakami. The books by Mr. Murakami is a must! Definitely!
