New Book!

Just got the book, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time" by Mark Haddon. This book won the Whitebread Book of the Year Award, and has good reviews. Lets see if the book is as interesting its title. I'll get back with the info on this book as soon as I've finished reading it. Right now, its for reading on the long plane journey ahead!

Wow! Never thought a business class lounge could be so cool!

Hiya! I'm coming to you live from the Emirates business class lounge in Dubai. I must say I'm impressed ! Apart from the gread free food and drinks, the huge comfy chairs and plush cushions, the great service and those huuuuuge bathrooms......WIRELESS AND BLUETOOTH INTERNET!!!! (Did I mention this is the first time I have travelled on business class in a looooong time?) I'm on the wireless network right now, and its pretty cool. Gonna try out the bluetooth one as well...Anyways, I'm going to be in London in about 8 hours, and then onto my home away from home, Oxford. Yeap, it's the start of a new academic year, and more work for me. I've also joined a very new forum created by a group of Maldivians, called Forum Maldives. Although it is very new and doesn't have a lot of members, I think it has a great future, and I would recommend any Maldivians or others who are interested in Maldives (or just anyone interested) to join this forum ...I'm a moderator ;)

I recently added a Google searchbox to my blog page, but I'm trying to get it just under the header, but above both the sidebar and the main blog area. Can anyone tell me where in the HTML code to put the Google Searchbox Code? Or if anyone one knows how to reduce the length of the textbox in the Google Searchbox, thats great too. Let me know (that is, if anyone ever reads this, hehe)

Gmail is pretty darn good, most of all its huge 1000 mb capacity. Anyone who wants to experience this, come on out with an offer for a swap!

Going back to oxford

Aaaah, there go the summer holidays. It's as if they never even started. How time passes. I would say that this summer has been a great time for me. I met some people that I have wanted to meet for a while, and made new friends as well. Still, as much as I would miss leaving home, I think I actually cant wait to get to England. Miss my friends...hehe. I'm actually supposed to have done some work over the holidays, and I almost had it finished....:) ......emphasis on 'almost'...Guess that will have to wait now. When I think about it, I feel that there are somethings I will really miss when I go back. You never know, how much you miss home, till you leave it. I hope I have better luck with my results than I had last time, lol. Have a great time, all you special people!
PS. The special people know that they are special to me.




Sigh. Time to think? None left
