Harvard

It wasn't all work.I had time to mingle with the Harvard community (Profs and students).It happened to be the Arts Festival week.Prof Muhd took me around and we wanted to visit his friend (a Philosophy Prof who owns a poetry bookshop) and say hello.They were having poetry reading session so we joined and heard a few (including the 1999 winner of a poetry competition...hers was powerful..about child sexual abuse)

Before that I joined Yenching's 30 years old tradition ( a lunch at end of a semester)in which lobsters were served (along with other foods, etc)Oh wow, some lobsters and some company! It was nice getting to know scholars from other Asian countries especially East Asia.

We also saw Harvard students (of all ethnic b/grounds) doing an African dance (and other crazy stuffs...all very artistic and stylish)

Some pics.

I didn't take any pics of the dinner we had at Prof Muhd's home (with Kak Ani who's very gracious and kind)Azmi and his TNC came along.Prof Azmi is so funny when he talks.One joke he shared with Prof M was about a Prof who was gagap.Prof M said somehow this lucky Prof had always full house lecture hall.We were wondering why.Prof M said the kids loved it cos' they could take their own sweet time writing down lecture notes.
Azmi menyampuk saying, "not only that, he repeats!"

Kak Ani, TNC and I macam nak pecah perut gelak.Scientists and artists bila berjumpa dan melawak macam ni rupanya. :))
