So Halim and Md.Nor devised a way to keep me entertained for the rest of the day. Unfortunately we couldn't do much because I was down with the flu, but I absolutely refused to be kept cooped inside the apartment. http://adzariffmd.blogspot.com/2008/09/jejak-mesir-2006-day-3-when-in-egypt.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Adzrul Ariff)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493447435369800569.post-1359959788065662620Thu, 04 Sep 2008 13:28:00 +00002008-09-05T00:21:17.023+08:00Salam and Hello all.

It began with a trip to the dentist to remove the sutures due to the wisdom tooth extraction I did last week. The dentist was glad that for the past one week I did not feel any pain. I'm gladder, I'd like to think.

Things have been pretty busy lately, hence the momentary absence from blogging. Back when I was preparing for the exams I thought that it would be a very relaxing time for me after the exams, since there would be a nearly three week gap between the last day of exams and the day I'd be flying back home.
