Eid

Ramadan has just finished and the celebration for this is called Eid (Eid on wikipedia). Poor Afzalina that has to explain me all the time Islamic and also Malay traditions.

Afzalina invited Thais and me to go to her place and join her, her flatmates and other guest for a dinner. They prepared loads of food, very very nice. See the picture bellow:

I can't complain about food at all!

Afzalina and her flatmates are wearing their super cool, traditional clothes. And me wearing a nintendo university shirt, Oh Dear!

Sha, me, Afzalina, and Shim


A mexican couple, Nam from Vietnam :), Afza and Sha


Shim, Micha, Afza, and Thais


That's all folks!

Harry Potter and the secret of happiness

Now it is 3:50am and I've just finished the last Harry Potter (Harry Potter and the deathly hallows). I am going to say only one thing: it is Brilliant!

I have read all the last 4 ones in a row since August, for two basic reasons: I want to watch the movie (the order the phoenix, the 5ht) after read the book, so I borrow the 4th one and start read. The second reason was that I bought the last one in a supermaket promotion, it was half price. :-)

My preference order:

1 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (the last one)
2 - Harry Potter and the Globet of Fire (the 4th)
3 - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (the 6th)
4 - Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban (the 3rd)
5 - Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone (the 1st)
6 - Harry Potter and the Chamber Secrets (the 2nd)
7 - Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix (the 5th)

About the secret of happines, it is very simple: "Low your expectations", that is it! I am serious.
Some people who know me for a while probably have already heard me to say "Expect the worst, if it doesn't happen than it worthy!". And last week I was watching one of the TED presentations about economic (it is good to practice English) and the Professor told that the secret of happines is to low down the expectations.
