CONGRATULATIONS TO ME!!!

Yeah! I managed to not eat and drink from 5 a.m. until 7.19 p.m. today. Yes! I did it. As a reward some of my colleagues will be giving me RM 1.00 each. With the money, I will buy diesel or kerosene to light the oil lamps (lampu pelita) that I have put up around the library area. I had bought oil earlier on but it does not work that well. This morning, Encik Wizan helped me to test the lamps out but we were not too successful. I hope I can get enough money from my friends tomorrow to be able to have the lamps lit for 15 nights.

Let me share with you what I did the whole day to avoid from eating or drinking. I kept myself busy at the MRTV workshop in the early part of the morning. Then I went to the library at 9.30

a.m. and started work on decorating the place. Then I taught 5EN3 and after that I was busy editing the class photographs. I went home to get a quick bath and then went to buy sugar and ribbons. In the afternoon, I made pickled mangoes with the librarians as well as gave tasks for my librarians to do in the library. After school, I visited the Ramadhan Bazaar in Seri Manjung where I bought a lot of food. See pictures of food that I snapped at the bazaar this evening. For your information, I bought lemang, taufu sumbat, karipap, agar-agar, watermelon juice and coconut juice for dinner. Puan Kamariah gave me curry fish and Ustazah Roslina gave me pulut with eggs. So I really had a feast at night. Yeah before I forget. I must tell you that I once did not eat or sleep for about 36 hours. Why? I was busy at the computer writing ghost stories for a book that I wrote. I was so engrossed at what I was doing that I forgot to eat and sleep. Unfortunately, my ghost story book has not been published yet.
