From Rags to Race

Two research workshops today.The morning session went well, alhamdulillah.Young scholars appreciated the hold- my- hand session with more senior scholars.

Masa lunch I was able to catch up with Prof Faris, Prof Yul and Prof Murni.Give us the space and we'll have loads of ideas on how to improve things! (sampai terlupa raya gathering at the sch of architecture.Depa sedap-sedap makan satay kambing etc..I dok makan sayor lemak petola kat RMC ni.Rezeki mak hari ni.Syukurlah ada lagi petola kat Msia).

Jalan tutup org nak ber-grand prix.Hadoi..byk events in KL this weekend will hangus.

Anis's hotel reception was really anak muda's.Her young friends on both sides nyanyi lagu ciptaan sendiri for the kedua mempelai : original, clever and funny (boys band). From bride's girlfriends - a few dancesteps for the groom (termasuk Z..danced mcm Nadra at her concert, I teased.haha).We all had fun.Anis's mom's speech was moving: we came to Malaysia not knowing anyone, converted to Islam and here we are, with such a huge family.Nik later on told me Awani did a feature on her mom (ship designer, married to a Tganu shipbuilder..they were at the wedding).Mula cerita, Anis's grandma had always wanted to sail around the world.So she built her own ship and sailed with her young children frm the first marriage to a true blue Frenchman (they were frm Paris).Sampai kat Tganu, kapal rosak ke hapa.Anis's grandma fell in love with the place and I guess fell in love with her present husband.I nak cari tht doco..we missed it sbb sibuk beraya!
