i am sorry people..has not been able to write for the past week. i just dont know what has happened to me. i am in a non-energetic and non-enthusiast mood. i felt like i am doin gnoting much overhere. the summary of what happened last week..

i guess i remember on what happened on the 11th, on 12, was a really lazy day..i sent the day to do loundy and bermalas2an...later at night, after the moment i got into my house, there was a security guard and he asked us to leave as soon as possible to Kappa Alpha basement as there was a tornado alert..yup..it was really heavy rain then...we, all of us..walked ourself in the rain and went to Kappa Alpha(one of the feternity house overhere) basement...after nearly 20 minutes wait we were allowed to retung to our apartments...not satisfied with what happened(come on...i really want to experience the tornado..at least once)..i dragged jeff, rakin and icky to 'hunt' the tornado...or at least flashfloods...it was amazing to see the effect of the thuderstorm here(not the tornado yet). trees fallen down..on electric supply cables..and blacked out some areas(here, not to have electric..even even for 1 hour is such an issue)..it is not i am happy to see disasters..but, you know....

the day after(13th), again...the siren sounds..but this time, no thundrstorm, nor rain...the feel was not so much as the first day..but still i hope that the tornado came..within 10 minutes, everything went o.k..but they said we got to come again at night as one more tornado predicted to come. this time i just dont give a damn about that..went to sigma pi ..played pool with rakin until we cant feel the ball anymore..

13th..
first day handling the radio station..kat sini aku jadi dj..with my housemate rakin as my partner, we belive we can ROCK the WORLD!!hahaha..everybody..turn your f.m to KDRU 98.1 fm..the cat..meow...

14th..
i guess i went to class...had a debate about euthanasia...it was good..but for your information...american students were not as good as we think.in class, most of them were passive(in fact, in the debate the only 3 person that was active were sam, christine and myself)..and they dont really think. what they do was only quoting somebody from some book and pour it in the class..hahaha...

15th..
in one of the day also, bob, travis and me went to the wal mart, shopped for supply in our smal-mart...146 dollars..and tax-exempted..taliking about tax..for your information, everything here were taxed..for example if you are walking into a shop, and the price tag was 2 dollars..that was the price before tax..there will be aother 6 to 7 percent tax...ngok betul...

16th..
i can't remember, on one of the day, we went to a local newspaper plant..the News-Leader. spent about 2 hours, understanding the process on how to make a newspaper..(its not i dont know about it, but..harung ajelah...) i was more interested to discuss about freedom of media in the country, but as we dont have much time, niat murni dan suci tu terpaksala dibatalkan...

17th...
for the first time ever, we got to go for friday prayer. thanks to is and ustaz for his effort. anyway, a guy named yusuf(student from SMS, another uni nearby) from the saudi arabia came and fatch us at cox parking lot(thats just beside our place) and drove us to the muslim community center..so sad to see such a small buiding become the only gathering point for us..and its far outside the town. but deep in my heart...there was proud to see such a small group of people work hard for what they believe in..we got ourselves supply of halal food, and got to know people overthere. evening, walked to comercial st. bought books. night, played basketball...
