Jan 1, New Years Day

Woke up for morning prayer at 0620. It was a cold and wet morning as it was drizzling. Went back to bed and slept for another 2 hours. Had toast and a slice of cheese for breakfast. Dare not eat more as my I am still worried about the condition of my tummy. It turns out ok as the day progresses. Work on the computer and do some cleaning up of the room which was left in a bit of a mess when we left for Karachi. Also I managed to pack the bag for my impending trip home. The bag was packed with the items that we had earlier bought in Islamabad and Karachi, minus the pots and pans that we got in Peshawar. That will go in a box, hopefully delivered home later by the C 130. Pak Halim came and picked us up for lunch at his house, in honour of the new Immigration officer who just arrived 3 days before. His name is Nik and he hailed from Kelantan (of course). A bachelor and this is his first posting. Seems to be a decent fellow. We had kampung style lunch with ikan kering and sambal (minus ulam). Apart from Nik and ourselves, the lunch was also attended by Azman and his wife and Haji Aris. We had a good casual discussion after lunch, whilst having coffee and malay delicacies like ketayap and bingka ubi. It was raining outside and the hot kopi O was very good indeed. We had Asar and Maghrib prayers before departing back to the college.
Tomorrow will be business as us usal, as we will be back in the ND Hall for the lectures.
