Thnks Fr Th Mmrs : Messages for Pear

Just after Erica Reeda was born, I sent out about 20 text messages to friends and relatives both here in Sudan and back home in Malaysia. Some of them were kind enough to respond. While I didn't transcribe the congratulatory phone calls, I did keep the text messages. I've had these messages in my Palm for the past 4 months, with the intention of publishing them on ezalman_too. So here it goes, listed in order of them being received :

• Colleague and friend in Sudan. I wonder what he meant with the 'puasa'?? haha, of course I do! But he's getting his Karma; his wife Ira is now back in Malaysia expecting their fourth child in September. Who's doing the 'fasting' now?
