My wife stays at Seremban until the wedding reception is over.
The plus side is, I get some free time for myself, for several days some more.
The minus side is, I will miss them and their antics, for several days...
Well, you can't have it both waysss...

Penang Bridge At The Wrong Time
Blogger's been acting funny lately on my PC.
It seems to not stop loading, but the page never materializes anyway.
By the way, I feel like complaining.
It's tiring when you drive long distance, but it's more tiring not driving the Mini.
Actually it's more tiring with the Mini, but you tend to forget the feeling when the fun factor suddenly seems to overwhelm it at a moment's notice.
OK complaints stop here.
It's actually an intriguing drive. Especially with the thought of my brother-in-law finally getting married in a few hours time lingering in the air.
But first, we have to stop several times. This apply everytime you travel with a baby or two.
And then, the gruelling Penang Bridge entry, to pick up my sister-in-law near Penang Medical Center.
And then, the easy drive heading to Sungai Petani, the wedding site. The drive is easy, but not at the train crossing. Everybody is to avoid this T-junction LIKE THE PLAGUE!
Here we are at Kedah. Finally we arrived, and stayed at Seri Malaysia, obviously.
And finally I get to cover some sleep. NOT! Hopefully tonight...

Short Story
"I'll break away, yes I'm on my wayyy..."
I sorta feel dependent on a car, after a long while of using public transport.
For one, I got the freedom yet again.
And I could use the extra time for my family, which I rarely feel enough, ever since Muzzammil exists.
I have even contemplated on car-pooling. That is currently under discussion.
And, talking about cars, I finally did make STELLAR lower. But I only did the rear sides for now. Though I have yet to find time to sort out the front side.
I am also more confident of adjusting the carburettor too. It just needs two screwdrivers, one short version, and the other a long version. And your index finger to rev the engine a bit while adjusting.
And I wish I had more confidence to do more than just that.
Maybe, like, repairing the radiator. Or sorting out the front skirting.
Afterwards, to sort the noisy disc brake cover. First, I need to buy a new one first.
And then, to eliminate the brake servo, as it's not so necessary to have one anymore.
And then to lighten my car from any unnecessary weights.

Finally Some More Def Leppard
After some umptenth years of waiting, I finally downloaded the "In The Round-In Your Face" videos by my childhood heroes Def Leppard that I have long waited to watch.
Considering I have bought the 1988 Historia video in 1993, it is a long wait indeed.
I cannot find In The Round anywhere at all.
But now I can enjoy the only Armageddon It live version, complete with Steve Clark!
Took my breath away all at once after that.
Phewww!
I miss him and his antics...

Not So Flowery Feeling
I counted nine ulcers in my mouth.
4 of them formed what seems like a flower decoration to me.
Oh God help me!
Sometimes I just got so tired of tolerating all the pain, I felt asleep.
The only remedy to desensitize them, is to inflict pain to them. My electric toothbrush will make it easier for me to do just that.
The probable cause, I think, is the warm Putrajaya climate the past weekend.

No Free Time
Too many things to read...
Yet too little time left in a day.
Some of the things I want to read badly, but can't seem to finish off (khatam):
Of course I can read something while on the bus, but usually the lights are off, and sometimes I get reading-while-travelling sickness.
I doubt I will find more time at home, since Muzzammil always took most of it. Not to mention Muzaffar too.
Yet too little time left in a day.
Some of the things I want to read badly, but can't seem to finish off (khatam):
- Kesilapan Ketika Sembahyang (Imam Ghazali)
- Halal Haram (by CAP)
- Fikah Harian (by Haron Din and brothers)
- Pelik Tapi Benar Dalam Solat (Abdul Rahman Mohamed)
- The Baby Book (a 1970s book my mom used to read)
- Menghalusi Solat Bergambar (Abdul Rahman Mohamed)
- Tip Tip Cemerlang Daripada Quran (Danial Zainal Abidin)
- several copies of Siasah
