a rather boring day. still in the lab though. did housekeeping and seed sterilisation of nearly 100 oil palm seeds. adding on to the excruciating pain on my back. was working really hard, receiving several praises from the supervisor along the way.

had a wonderful lunch. chicken rice with an extremely sweet and spicy sauce (love it!), served by an english-speaking muslim, and she's 26 years old when i asked. but i swear to god she looks younger than me.

and today is the first day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri. however, not a single bit of such atmosphere in bangkok. even the muslims didn't take a holiday, the people at the food stall. maybe they didn't know its existence.

waiting for pictures from my family and hanna tan. or anyone else wanna tease me with their hari raya photos?

in the meantime, my 6233 or my camera & mp3, only last 2 hours after a full charging. perhaps the battery life is depleting fast. so i can't take picture that often, until i find a replacement.

awfully sad for missing hari raya. i wonder what they're doing now. probably they're already at my grandmother's place.

we hold in our heart the sword and the faith

swell up from the rain, clouds move like a wraith

well after all, we'll lie another day

and through it all, we'll find some other way

to carry on through cartilage and fluid

and did you come to stare or wash away the blood

well tonight, will it ever come

spend the rest of your day rocking out

just for the dead.

so long not goodnight.
