1 day to go...

I will see D tomorrow. 23.15 US time. I don't even want to think about converting that into actual hours, as my math skills are non-existent. Now I know why they have those maths problems...if you are on plane heading to NY at a gazillion kilometres an hour and NY is heading in your direction at whatever miles per hour, how much time would you have to wash and blow your hair before your boyfriend reaches JFK? All I know and care about at this moment is that I will see D tomorrow.

I spoke to him this morning, to give him my flight details. I will be arriving much earlier, but I think he needs to know which flight I am on. Just in case. Like if a jet engine sucks in an eagle. I am morbid, I know. Told him about my brother's friend. A bit difficult though as I had to explain what a baju kurung and tudung is. I then had to explain why I do not wear these items of clothing. As these things go, we then got on to the topic of polygamy. I have told him that only Malaysian born Muslims can marry more than 1 wife. Converts and especially foreign converts have no such right. It is in fact an offence under the penal code (which is unfortunately only in Malay). Regardless of what any Malaysian man he will meet says. They just want to see more foreigners in jail. Do not listen to them. And yes, maggi mee is staple food in Malaysia.

I don't think I will have a problem, as he recently asked me what the difference is between Islam and Muslim. The man thought they were 2 different religions. I think I shall tell him that all new converts have to have their new name chosen by the wife. I am thinking ... Joaquim.

We will be visiting D's dad next week. It is -26 celcius in his hometown. Wonder if they walk around in snowsuits there...
