After breakfast, I left for Nchalo, St Montfort hospital for blood level testing. I was tested and then preceded to my local bank. At the bank, some of the people especially old ones who do not know how to read and write asked me to write their withdrawing forms on their behalves. After drawing my money, I left for Blantyre at my school to see examination results.
Passed diploma 1 in community development. I was arriving Blantyre at around 2:25pm. I was not intended to do any shopping for I was after witnessing myself about exams results. I entered into the secretary’s office, who firstly mocked me that I was omitted on the passing roll. I was not sure of that. “I am just joking you have passed,” she said. I was so proud of passing the diploma, which was one of my aspiration and I am going to work extra hard for diploma 2.
It was cloudy as if was about to rain. I started sweeping the surrounding. I was finishing at 6:45 am. I switched on my radio just listening gospel tunes. I sat on my simply made chair. My wife called me that there was a visitor outside who was looking for her sister. I got off to meet her. “I have come early morning looking for my sister who told me that with her husband are now living here within Chinangwa village. My in law’s name is Ndapasowa and I have been trying to find them but they are not found. If you know Ndapasowa please guide me where he is residing. I am so tired.” The girl complained. My wife told her that she may go further at the end of the village where she was assure that there was a man a that has come into the village some days ago.
The girl came again at my home saying that her sister and husband were not found. The confirmed that her brother in-law emphasized that they were leaving for Chinangwa to live permanently.
In the afternoon, she came for the third time when it was sunset. I called my sister to take her to my mother’s house to take food and sleep their. She went with my sister where she took supper, bathing and sleep.
Even though I am on leave, I was called to do some of the Fairtrade premium issues. I am not a Fairtrade premium member, but I was called to update premium income and compiling invoices that is flow of goods. I was encouraged by committee members that I should be committed each and every time when called for premium discussions.

I was going back home at around 2:25pm. Soon after arrival, I proceeded to watch football match between Chinangwa FC and Jakobo FC. It was so crucial because they played the whole 90 minutes without any score in either side. Chinangwa FC used most of the young stars that did not even played under that crucial match.
It was sunny and patches of clouds. I worked at my garden and knock off at around 10am. When I got home, I prepared breakfast while my wife was drawing water from the borehole. She congratulated me for the way breakfast was prepared.

I was so tired when I got home from the garden. I just switched on my radio and listening some slow numbers.
After knocking off from the garden, I went through my parents’ house where I was given already boiled pumpkins. It was so nice for my first time this 2008 to take pumpkins. My mother gave me some for my wife to prepare for the other day’s breakfast.
Listening reggae jamming. When I got home, I was just listening to radio especially reggae jamming programme. It was so nice because several artists who play reggae carried me away.

I was advised at the surgical team that I was supposed to undergo surgical process. I was given an opportunity to choose the surgical day. I chose 2nd April 2008 as a best day for the process to be done. I was also referred to laboratory for blood level testing. I paid all the money I had as for transport because it is private hospital.
