Booting Books at Taplow

Rina forced me up at 0600. Apparently she had some arrangement with Syamil that we, the dads will take them to Windsor Great Park for them to cycle. And I had no prior knowledge about this (I think neither did Dell). Ok lah, ok lah .. I need the exercise anyway. So squeezed a bike at the back of the Touran and shot to Virginia Water. Headed for Savil Garden entrance (this is where parking is free for the 1st 90 minutes) but the parking machine was still asleep. Apparently the barrier opens/works at 0800, so we parked on London Road in front of the entrance.

Jogged and found a nice man-made waterfall. An OK spot for a picnic. Syamil dapat hadiah - fell while cycling & bruised his knee, quite badly. Don't know whether he can make it to the skating ring tomorrow. The moms are gonna get them to Slough tomorrow.

Continued the day to Taplow car boot. Today the car boot is not that meriah, but not bad.
Rina with her stuff toys, Shasya with her cat figurines. Me - as usual cari buku murah. Got a good hard cover of Wild Swan by Jung Chang for 50 p. Also picked a New Testament at 10 p for easy reading on the train. Mangkuk betul mat salleh ni, kitab sendiri boleh jual sekupang je. Kitab ni version kecik, pocket size. I wish I can find a Quran (with translation) at that size.

Gosh! I don't even know when I can start coz at the moment I'm reading so many at the same time!!
The Afghan - Frederick Forsythe
Shift - Carlos Ghosn
Twilight in the Desert - Matt Simmons

and Egham library books lagi! (Remember kena hantar 17 June)
Simpson Comics: Dollars to Donuts
Trinity Blood
Spiderman: Wild Blue Yonder
Superman: End of the Century
Batman: Gothic
CSI: Dominos
Stonehaven: Milk Carton & Dog Biscuits

Tak pe lah, ilmu tu ibarat air. Biarlah banjir otak aku sampai meleleh keluar telinga. Pasal banyak lagi ni, sampai kena alir ke bawah pulak (tengah train Shaysa baca comic omputeh). Kalau simpan tak mengalir nanti busuk macam air char pulak. Oh ya, kalau nak pandai, "air" ni lah yang kena minum ye, bukan air jampi kay.

18:109 Katakanlah: Sekiranya lautan menjadi tinta untuk (menulis) kalimat-kalimat Tuhanku, sungguh habislah lautan itu sebelum habis (ditulis) kalimat-kalimat Tuhanku, meskipun Kami datangkan tambahan sebanyak itu (pula)."
