Sunday
21st October 2007
Day 9 Syawal/Eid Mubarak

Asking someone els to take picture of me, suppose to be candid. LOL

Some of the guests, just started. By noon the number of guess increasing. You won't see empty space like this.

Aznan (the guy in blue), the main host organising the BBQ. Really nice guy and very helpful. This year will be his last Eid at Dendenong. So no more celebration at Dendenong. :(

Lamb BBQ, I ate 5 pieces. hehe...

Chicken and Sausages


Today was the hottest day in spring. 33C with humidity less than 14%. Oh my god. I was really dehydrated. Had to drink a lot today. The weather was really mad. When I woke up at 6 am, it already 24C. Wow. No wonder I felt so warm early morning.

I reached Dendenong Station at 10.00 am, had to wait under the shade because the weather was so hot , hot and hot. This is just a beginning. I wonder what will happen during summer.

Most of the time at Aznan House, I just make sure I am always under a shade and drink a lot of plain water. By the way today all family in Dendenong ( 6 families ) all of them organised an Open House - Eid Celebration and only invited all Post Graduate students in Melbourne. I am one of them. So many new faces I met. Really great function and socialise activity, knowing other Malaysian. I just found out that everybody had already been talking about me and keep wonder who I am. Once they met me, so they said 'So you are Doctor Nahar'. All this time Aznan always keep on promoting my name, they just know my name without knowing the person. It shows how seldom I kept in touch with most of them. Anyway thanks to Aznan for make me so important among the rest. :) . Had a long chat with some of them. Bla bla bla bla.........
