    You must get thet reaction a lot Saaleha. Even I was tempted 🙂

    P.S. I agree with your human rights thingy, there was debate on radio saying thsat Human Rights day isn’t only for black people and everybody should stop laying lazily on the loo or go on consumerist shopping sprees.

  2. Oh! Have mercy! I just looked at your new profile photo, and you are so pretty Saaleha, that the teeth fall out of my old man jaw!

    …Uh, yes: Human rights good.
