I'll be back!!

No its not that i've seen the new terminator movie or anything... Just that i sorta look like the good ol' half-man half-machine model 101 cyberdine systems cooked up ages ago (or ages later). Ok so i dont look as butch as the terminator.. or as scary... or tall... or have the looks... ok ok.. so maybe i dont look like him in any way but atleast i've got a red eye. Noooo.. i didnt get punched tryin' to do a terminator impression... It's some kinda infection I got in me left eye on Thursday me thinks.. So yeah.. blood shot red eye.. took a day off work too... its better now.. but it's soo damn weird.. it juss constantly feels like there's something stuck in my eye and if i try to rub it, it'll get worse!!! ARGH!!

Oh well.. people go through worse.. I suppose I shouldnt complain.. (even though i've complained already)... some duas my way people.. and a lot more for the brothers and sisters suffering in the world today. I'll go off and practice my lines and show my red eye around... I'll be back.. nah that wasnt rite.. I'LL be back... nopes... i'll be BACK...yeah.. that sounds rite.. i'll be BACK! :)

Randomly late

Righty-o people. At the moment I am locked furiously in a debate (well ok not that furiously) with squeaky (no names) as to why i shouldnt get married (some of you may have gotten an idea who my squeaky sis is by now). We wont go into that here right now. I'd like to say Jazaka'Allah to the following people (i wont be putting up the links cuz i'm a lazy so-and-so) for their comments..

the design king eXcalibur, french fried Yazmeeeni, the dehydrated editor-at-large owly, Sensei to the underdogs of english Abez, the gangster from Manchester (ok so it sorta rhymes) Mani, the extremely vegetarian Otty, the hippiest blogistani Faiza, the newly layoutly hijabified Sana, the leafy Fara (hey sis welcome back), the squeaky Annie, the fresh-off-a-wedding buzz B and last but definitely not least, the ludicrous chocoholic that is Shereen.

For those of you who advised to pray Nafil for the good results, well, me and the entire household had already prayed. Cuz the same day i actually bought a car as well so yes i had offered Nafil for Shukar. Moving on, it is true about the 70 times more blessings bit when using Miswaak before prayer as Shereenie Beany has pointed out with a Hadith Masha'Allah. Jazaka'Allah to u sis. As fer Owly... whacha bonk me for again?? i'd already been bonked too many times on the noggin... see.. i got all them speed bumps on me head to prove it.

As fer my bhai loog who asked me what i aced and how does it all add up, well, I'm doing a masters (MSc) in Business Information technology (yup, like all da rest of 'em fobs) and this was my last 2 courses in the last semester. How this adds up is the fact that i've got a decent average on all my courses Alhadmulillah and if i do a good graduation project Insha'Allah (everyone, run and start duaing for me) I have a very good chance at a first class with honours degree thing. And Insha'Allah dude if we ever meet up, there defintiely will be a party (or some munchies.. my treat).

Now for my favourite neighbour and awesomely-cleanliness-loving sis Otty, Miswaak is umm... a twig which has been recommended by Rasoolullah (SAW) to be used to clean the teeth. You simply rub it on ur teeth and it has been scientifically proven to make teeth healthier and cleaner (there's a blow for colgate waiting to happen!).

Yazzie sis, we definitely should have a bloggers appreciation day. Obviously we'll need a mutual website for that where people can come and maybe post how they feel about blogistanis and so on so forth. I wonder who we could get to design a cool template for us. I wonder... hmm.. who has good design skills... hmmm... I'll let you all ponder too... ;) Yes sis, I am a fob (famously obese birdbrain) .. and i'm proud of it.. and well, pulling an all nighter before hand-in of projects and studying for exams has always been an important part of me even passing, let alone getting decent marks :)

Fizzy, no one in the world of Blogistan can doubt you being the hippiest coolest bloggie sister there is around :) Sana yaaro, you soo have awesomely cute Urdu skills... I understood everything you said and the icecreams in the post :) and believe me i dont study at all. Fara Jazaka'Allah for the awesome coments, the sis is juss soo cool that way. And yeah i will be looking for those miwaaky toothpaste's.. although once u get used to it, nothing beats the taste of fresh miswaak. :) Annie, awesoem comments as always sis. Jazaka'Allah. I pray weall succeed both in dunya and Akhira insha'Allah. Fizzy, i'm updating now sis... yazzie.. you're the only one with 3 different comments... kudos to u. Jazaka'Allah and thanks to B for the congrats and again BeanyMonster, Jazaka'Allah again for sharing the Hadith on Miswaak sis.

Hmmm... Think this post is long enuff now.... But juss a few bits and bobs more.. A friend who i've known since my days from Cyprus called up the other day and goes.. so how many hours did you spend cleanning the car (that guy knows me too dang well). I was like... err.. u got hidden cameras outside my house or something man... Admittedly i have spent close to 5 hours in 2 days on the car which may or may not be too much (depends which angle you're looking at it)

On another note, there is only 1 friend now living close to my home, everyone else has moved FAR away (still in London, but it'll take over an hour to get to their places atleast) so i'm left with juss F now. He's an awesome person and it's cool spending time with him, but i do feel a wee bit lonely now. Oh well, I've got my bro and parents.. Insha'Allah all will be good... :)

*Phew* Relief

Yup, another scary aspect of me life comes to a somewhat satisfactory close Alhamdulillah... actually no.. i shouldnt say somewhat satisfactory... I mean Alhamdulillah all is well. (funny how we can be sooooo forgetful)

Anyways, so yeah.... got my results for my last semester today... actually i was walking out the door cuz we were gonna go buy a car and i saw this envelope with my name on it. So I quickly opened it up, looked inside and as soon as i realized it was a result sheet.. i was like should i or shouldnt i.. Then i thought.. oh wat the hey... Its not like it'll do much damage. Looked at 'em and... *drum roll* Badamching!!!! Aced both my courses for the last semester Alhamdulillah. Yeap yeap... one step closer to that first class honours thing... now it's time for you to go overtime in your duas for me so all my parents hopes (and all the dosh i put into this whole escapade becomes worthwhile) But then again i'm still slacking on my project... Maybe cuz i know hand-in is in October.. but still... argh... bad me.. bad bad me for not getting it done. (I wont ask people to come down and whack me on the head again cuz a whole loada people obliged the last time)

On another note.. I really must pray for the brother who was handing out Miswaak at the Masjid a few weeks ago. Since then, I've had mine on my computer table (or near it) and everytime i sit here i stick it in my mouth and a lotta times (if i'm prayin' in my room) i remember to do miswaak before i begin. Jazaka'Allah to him.

And and one more thing *picks up cigar and does best Columbo impersonation*. You guys... yeap u the ones reading this... are all juss soo awesome.. the comments i got for my last 2 posts.. Juss makes me crack up... or go awww.. Alhamdulillah for awesome blogistanis... So yeah... seems like i'm agreeing with She when i say that.. We're the awesomest bunch of blogistanis around... ok maybe i'm a FOB (Sorry farpoint, the discussion continues on my blog) but i tag along with awesome people. Masha'Allah to all me bloggies (sorta like hippies but in a blog sense) :)

Laydeeeeeeeeeeeeeees and Genle'men...

I wont be posting tonite cuz its tooo hot, i'm tired and it's past my bedtime.. and I'm talking to a blogistani too :) I've got to get up early in the morning too... but sometimes juss talking to someone is a bit more important. Lazyness galore... anwyays... y'all take care now Insha'Allah.

Out of the house at WHAT TIME??

Ok now me being creature of the night, I usually sleep after Fajr.. or an hour or so before and then get up groggy eyed again. Anyways, yesterday nite Ammi tells me i gotta go to the airport in the morning to go pick up this carton of books (part of my mom's collection of Islamic books) which was still in Saudi Arabia 3 years after we left. Someone was gonna bring it over and yada yada yada.. basically i had no choice but to get to the airport as early as possible and get the stuff... FINE! Which meant i had to be outta the house at around 5:15 in the morning and make the hour and a half or so journey to the airport to be there in time for the flight to come in. In the morning it was slightly cold but being me, i walked off in a t-shirt (well cuz i knew it was gonna go 'I'm-going-to-throw-you-in-boiling-lava' kinda hot in the afternoon. Got there 15 min before the people came out... Alhamdulillah they brought along a bottle of Zamzam as well which i never say no to :) But yeah end of the story got home around quarter to 9.

And when i got home i went straight to bed cuz i was tired. around 10:30 my mobile rings and I'm like nooo please. I look at it and it sez 'Ghar' (Home to you urdually-challenged people) and i'm thinking whaaaa??? Turns out mom didnt know i was home and she was calling me from upstairs. I get up and go upstairs and she's like.. when did u come... lol... The stuff that happens in my house... You gotta love 'em all... (and i do... LOADS)

Which brings me to another turning point in my life (if you could call it that) I've decided to leave the vampirish tendencies and try to get to bed by 12 at nite. I mean when you sleep early, you feel soo much better when you wake up, you feel fresh, rejuvenated and all that jazz. So from now on hopefully there wont be any more late nite posts.. (well i hope so). I need to get some balance into me useless existance.

And another thing.. the conservatory roof is finished.. now all i gotta do is paint it out and all.. and Insha'Allah i plan to get that done within a week or so. My bro's already started doing some other random stuff which needed to be done. Lets see how long it all takes.. Anyways, I'm off to bug a few people on msn... there arent that many left who i can bother. And it's a shame Shadanov Killalotsky isnt online at nite... Otherwise we would be cookin' up plans to take over the world!!! *Evil Laff* (cue dramatic music)

Conservatory

Now as you can tell from the title... actually u cant cuz it's juss one random word there.. i mean the word conservatory could mean anything on its own right?? I mean it could mean .... hold it.. i'm babbling.. and now u all think i'm weird... errr.. no no.. believe me i'm not paranoid!! ok i'll stop now...

Yeah so anyways, the past 2 days... 10 hours a day me and a friend have been working in our conservatory... nay.. on our conservatory... replacing the roof to be precise... Yeah we first had to take off the old roof (which was glass) all the fixtures... clean up the old frame and everything... grrr.. back breaking i tell ya! Yesterday was mostly spent taking the old stuff down and getting the new stuff ready to be put up.... We've still got the lead-work (as in the metal LEAD) to do and all the filling and the tid bits to finish it off.. that's to be done on Thursday Insha'Allah. Plus this is becoming an expensive proposition for me too... I've been hanging on for dear old life tryin' to get braces and rubber strips to stay in play (kids dont try this at home), it's crazy I tell ya... now i know why people who do this kinda stuff charge soo much... my friend is gettin paid too cuz he does this stuff for a living.. me living in the house ... get didly squat outta it.. booo hooo....

Anyways... life in general is Alhamdulilah ok.. i'm waaaaay behind on my project cuz i'm doing soo much other crap... i really need to get my act together and get some work done... someone come down and hit me on the head quick!

Lazyness to the xtreme

I still dont like this highlight and click bold thingy.. but then again i cant complain.. The thing works and its free... So i'll keep my mouth shut!

Man i've had so many things to blog about... but i dont wanna go on and on forever and bore you people to death. Had a good day today. My friend is over from Jeddah so I went to meet him today. He's not my friend as such.. he's my best friend's bro.. but since i've known him for like 10-11 years now.. he is technically a friend now... ok ok.. so he is a friend.. sorry i confuse myself.. but it was cool. We met up, hung around..talked of old times.... had a good laff basically... errr.. had a few smokes... (every now and then is ok.. i think) Overall a great day... the End... It's a Mini Adventure

(If you've seen the mini cooper advert you'll know wat i mean!)
