Various Happenings

Me

So, Ramadan is over and we finally celebrated Eid a week ago. It was a fun day. I spent the day with Sudman and Rasidul. Nazmul also hung out with us for a while. At night, we went to my cousin’s house. Since his house is right next to my friend Einul’s, we hung out there instead. (It’s not fun in my cousin’s house.)

I had gotten a haircut the day before because I was tired of my long hair. As I’d expected, I had angered many of my friends. What I didn’t expect was the amount of comments I got from people who’d never said anything about my hair before. I guess change is good. It’s still hard to decide between keeping it short for a while or growing it out again.

Of course, the photo above is one of the first photos of my new haircut. I got back a roll of photos today and put them up on Flickr for your viewing pleasure. I’m actually surprised at the amount of photos that came out nice this time around. Hopefully, I’ll be getting my LC-A fixed sooner and have more than just indoor shots to show off.

What have I been doing lately? Well, I’ve been caught up in schoolwork. Junior year’s very harsh. Definitely don’t wanna slack off this year. It will hurt you. Of course, I’ve also been playing Phantom Hourglass. Although I really like it, the length of the game is disappointing. It’s way shorter than I expected. I honestly think Nintendo could’ve spent more of their time working on the gameplay than the little enhancements. We barely get to use all the little features they spent so much time on. That’s just what I think.

Also, In Rainbows is just awesome. It’s definitely something to listen to. I’ve had the songs stuck in my head since I got the album. I even went as far as putting the whole thing on my phone.

In Canada

At the moment, I’m in Scarborough, Canada visiting my sister and her husband. My sister’s having a baby in December and we plan on coming back then. We wanted to see her before she gives birth so we decided to come here as soon as I got at least 3 days off. Luckily, thanks to Rosh Hashanah, we got 4 days off and we’re here now.

The trip was kind of strange since we left on Wednesday night and yesterday was the first day of Ramadan. We had to eat Suhr on the road. I bought a couple of those plastic bowls of Apple Jacks when we stopped for gas. The day wasn’t that hard except having to walk around Niagara Falls since my uncle had never been there.

Last Saturday, when our plans to come to Canada were made final, I ordered an iPod classic, hoping to bring it along on the trip. Of course, I ordered it a day too late and it didn’t arrive at my house till yesterday. Luckily, my aunt was at home to pick it up for me. It’s amazing how FedEx lets you see the receiver’s signature online. Expect photos of the new iPod as soon as I get home on Sunday.
