Today I woke at 8.30 which is pretty early for a Saturday. Until I sipped my first cup I switched on TV and watched a short discussion about Islam in the Middle East compared to Asian Islam in Malaysia and Indonesia. The only reason that I didn't prefer watching commercials was that I heard the words Indonesia and Malaysia which are in our immediate travel plans. Apparently Islamic radicals are decreasing in popularity in Asia especially in Malaysia, where the Islamic party lost badly in the last elections. The gist of the argument was that the Middle East should attempt to match the Asian attitude to religion by separating it from politics.

After the morning thought, my car passed the roadworthiness test (after yesterday’s miraculous skid). There is nothing wrong with the car according to the test. I then made my good deed of the day by lending the laptop to a friend of mine who experienced Murphy's Law for the first time. His computer's BIOS got corrupted on the eve of his final year project draft submission! Feeling good with myself, I continued designing the new blog's look at work since I haven’t got any more usable computers at home.
