hello people, currently in a hilton - linked hotel in arkansas...its 4.55 am now and i guess i shall not sleep for the whole night..i am alone in the business room , using this pc with very high speed connection and...i got to print everything..i mean everthing..colour or black ad white...for free!!haha..(gleak jahat)..everybody else are sleeping, i guess..sweet dreams, people..

today, we had a lunch session with the president of the university that we are living in..drury university. it went well, just that i wish i could spent time chatting with him longer..as we sat in different table..the food was good. had spaghetti,and lasagna..nyum, nyum..

2.30pm, we departed to arkansas, having dr.johntaylor to drive us was a scary experience up to some extend..you know..(sigh)..whatever...mildred, stef, anuar, anuar, lin, syahz and myslef had looooong discussion about islamic financial system, polygamy, and some other matters that i guess, made the discussion went hot and so lively...i just love those moments when stef said if she is to let her husband to marry more than one, so does herself, she want to marry more than one man..funny, funny, funny..

around 5.30, we checked in, about 6 we left to a community center, built by a businessman to show his appreciation towards the community..a kind of performing his social obligation as a rich man in the area. he built this center, with lots of facilities..such as swimming pools, basketball courts, ice- skating area, conference rooms, etc for the people to use...FREE!!!!!...a married couple with 4 months old twins - rachel and mike treat us with a ..PIZZA PARTY...hahaha...later everbody was free to do stuffs that they like. many of us decided to go for ice-skating..i haven't skate since about...more than 2 years (last time my ex used to be the person that was so into ice skating, so when i am back single, i dont have much reason to go for it, so i dont)and i had quite a hard time to get back, skating freely on the ice like what i did last time. can't balance up myself as good as before anymore.. and still, it took the obligation to teach some other people to skate..sounds funny, but it was a great feel to see them moving on ice happily then...i just love it....8.30pm, the session swapped into broom ball-its like ice hockey, but you use bigger ball, made from rubber, and instead of using hockey sticks, we use a broom-look like stick, where the navigator made from solid plastic...and the best part of it was.....WE CAN WEAR OUR SHOES ON THE ICE!!!!!..though it sound easy compared to the ice skating, i guess i fell more times compared when i was skating...anyway, it was fun, tho...my team, feroz, ustaz, ai bao, a guy that works there, and myself..the opponent..J.P(works there), carlos and lily( el salvador siblings) syahz, and one more local guy.we ended goaless, eventhough we tried hard..really hard..hehee...
later, played basketball..quite fun, tho...4 on 4...

went back to the hotel, the fun continues when my request to the person incharge of the swimming pool was accepted..to extend the its operation hour...so, wait no more, people..i can say..half of us spent about an hour in the pool with lots of fun..hhehee...nite, went to visit peoples' room..and here i am....writing this beatiful blog of mine...no doubt...i've decided not to sleep for the whole nite...for my own reasons..gosh..hopefully i will have enough energy to face tomorrow...please pray for me, people...chiao..take care..
