will be right back....

i write loadsa crap so i am starting to give up writing in my blog...but i think i shud finish what has happened over the summer as that was my intention...plus nothing interesting happens to my life in general to write about.... just be patient and i will continue to write about the rest of the summer. NOT yet got to my sister wedding!!! which is what you're all waiting for really.... xXxXxxxzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZ

AQA

i was so not created to work!!! but this is what i gotta do to feed oneself, clothes oneself excessively, clear my overdraft...and pay for stuff for my sister wedding (stuff for myself obviously!!). easy work..9-5, then overtime till 7...dunno why im complaining!!! just putting packs of papers away in its place...keeping it in order...something i think im really good at!!! And well experienced cos i did this kinda thing at Catwalk shoes...putting the shoes in order of style then colour then size...then some stupid asian will try on all the shoes(especially the ones that are kept at the bottom), mess up the piles and not buy a single pair!!!! Stupid asians...if u dnt wanna buy it why do u wanna try it on!!!!...you got ugly feet anyway (im so mean!!!)...but i do and say all of this with a smile so i get away with it...can prob get away with murder. Shall experiment one day...im sure half my family have now come from Bdesh and they will annoy me...they best pray they not sleeping next to me....hehehehe

Pic of my family...cnt be bothered to explain who all are but my mum on the far left, my fave mami (from Germany) next to her, with her son Marzan...and dad in the middle...the rest allow big time cos they are the LOSERS from Sylhet(my mama thinks hes American....he only ben there 6yrs)!!!!!!!!

wont write too much about them...will lead to back-biting. But if i give them this blog add will it be considered as back-biting?!!

am i really going to a wedding?!!!!

yes...its true i am attending a wedding...even went to the Mendhi. Whats happening to me?!! Think it shall prepare me for my sisters do in 2weeks time...even though that shall be a lot different cos we're Sylheti!!!!and everyone invited is Sylheti...apart from the token 'gore' and non-Sylhetis (and not forgetting the Pakistanis too!).

Wont go on about it too much cos gta still wirte about sisters' wedding!!! But i must say it was a nice event..F u missed out!!!(F...where's the invitation card?i want us to frame it in our new house...our first joint invitation. & as per usual the wife is sent to these things while the hubby relaxes at home!!!)

Was tld to go to the Mendhi a few days before by Rosie so dint bring up any of my one million shuti sarees...think she did it on purpose cos she doesn't like them!!! Ran from work to my house (in 10mins), packed and then ran to hers in 15mins...well impressive!!! She sed b there early so someone could put on the saree for me and then they're leaving at 6!! I mean, Rosie is atleast 2hrs late to everything so i didn't take her seriously but cos her mums in the country i was there by 5.45. Enough time to put on saree, make-up and jewellery!!! But apparantly not...cos we ended up leaving at 6.30 and it was Rosie's fault. Some people just take ages to get ready!!!!! We then went to Mel C's house which took another hour i think (was making mental note of it all for prep for sisters mendhi!!). Got to the hall in one piece alhamdullilah...Mel C looked gorgeous as per usual mashaAllah.

Wedding Day...i did get ready in 10mins...just the make-up bit took a bit long cos one is allergic to it...and excess could just turn me into a monster!!!! green outfit + green eye makeup = too much attention on the eyes. which = NIKAAB. for a gal who doesn't wear make-up i felt nikaab was obligatory...and i did enjoy people not knowing who i was...hehe...although they did just look at my eyes and figure.
Food was delicious, people looked gorgeous (esp the bride and her family!!!)...eat, drank and was merry...didn't see too many Sylhetis...not too many people...never doing it again!!...may Bod's wedding be the same...Ameen

finally get to escape...

a whole month at home...well impressed with myself. plus have been housebound trying to write up all the invites for Bod's wedding. still aint finished though...mum/dad keep ringing people to get addresses off them to post the invites. Then theres the people from B'desh who want invites even though they know blatantly that they aint gonna come!!!! But then there are th ones that will that really scare me...not looking forward to family coming here. My aunties living in Bdesh are very lazy. They have women who cook and clean for them over there so when they come here they expect the same!! And so they will expect my mum to do everything...and my mum being who she is will do what they say and not complain!!!

Anyways, my stupid best mate decided to get herself a job here so cnt escape to hers...and Tasha gone to Zambia...dont have any more friends(lol...yeh right!!). Well, dont have any other useful friends in Bham!! And if i escape with mum she got her baggage which includes my younger sister Amani and younger bro Nabi, then my other bro cnt live without mums food so he'l cum along also. And not forgetting dad...he cnt live without mum even though he always says he can!!! That only leaves Bods (who'l be married off soon anyway so she dont need to escape) and Ilo. Suppose she can house sit and wait for the random relatives to come!!! So no point in running away with mum i suppose....if anyone would like to save me please feel free to come down to Bham. My bedroom faces the back of the house...just climb over the fence!!!

If any brave soldier does come down to save me and doesn't find me here i guess im in Mcr for 2weeks...yep working for AQA! i really need to clear myself outta my overdraft before i graduate and they start adding interest...any job will do!!!! Was gonna be in Mcr anyway for the weekend but 2weeks is betta!!! inabit xXxX

confetti

before i forget this is for F. It is a bit crap cos ive not been to the whole of North America but it has coloured all of it and so its looks as if i've been to more countries then i actually have!!!

my shopping never seems to end...but this time i was forced, yes forced, to take my younger sister 'Michelin man' (im so mean!!) to buy some clothes!!! It was actually so that she doesn't wear any of my clothes!!!!!!i don't mind sharing but with my elder sister and the middle one ('Michelin man'/ Ilo) they dont fold my clothes and put it back where it belongs...or even wash it and put it back! Anyway also had to do missions for Bods in town. Had to return a few items...find her a basket. Failed on the basket and returning some items so went searching for matching earrings with my new kameez, flowers to put in my hair to match my saree, book a make over for sister's Walema, since that defo segregated!!! Plus get some clothes for Ilo.

Found the earings in Accessorize (is that how u spell it?!!) and it matches perfectly!!! Didn't find a flower...booked a make-over at Bobbi Brown in House of Fraser (free!!!) plus bought loadsa clothes for myself!!!! Never send me shopping with someobne for someone....will end up buying things for myself!!!!!!!

O, the bit i nearly forgot to mention...the most amazing shop ever! Defo gonna go there when i get married...its got everything in that shop for wedding deco!it was so beautiful...now really stuff on colours for my wedding. www.confetti.co.uk check out their website...but it not as nice as the shop itself...there only 3stores in England i think hehehe

Yo people...Bod's not going very far!!

you really are gonna miss your sister when shes gone...? NO I'M NOT!!!!! cos she only moving down the road...seriously less then 10mins walk away. I still one and a half hours away by car at that!!!! Already have had dawat at Bof's house and Rehana Bhabi's house cos they think once Bods is married that we never gonna c her again!!! What do they mean?!!! I really don't like dawats but i must say this was fairly different cos first of all there were no parents (or any one over the age of 30) and second of all there were no MEN!!! Not that i don't like men but such restriction whenever the opposite gender is in close proximity!!! Because it was Ladies only me and sis dressed up...aunts and everyone else who was there was well shocked cos i dont think they've seen us without hijaab/jilbaab for atleast 2years!!!

neways, i promised myself not to go on too much otherwise i will stop writing in my blog altogether!!

...it was a fun dawat...eat loads and loads and loads as per usual. May Allah reward my aunt and bhabi for cooking such delicious food...may Allah keep my metabolic rate really high until i get married, even a year after then i dont care if i get fat (actually dont care if i get fat now...but dad will kill me...yes dad NOT mum!!!) Alhamdullilah...

Wedding shopping

Never ever take me saree shopping!!! They all look as if they all been in fashion before...there's nuhtin new...sales people (if you can call them that) tell you that the saree has been worn by some unknown actress in some particular Bollywood film (like i watch dem on a regular basis!?!!!)...aaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh Theres so many to choose from...so many designs, materials, colours...i bet Pakis dont have this problem with choosing kameez!!

Plus you cant even try them on. Sometimes sarees dont look like hung up...u gotta wear it to appreciate it! Mum bought loads...im sure she already got the same ones but wateva makes her happy. Ilo and i bought a kameez each from Daminis...they're so beautiful mashaAllah. Now have to decide when to wear it...its abit too simple to wear to my sisters walima...and already got saree for that anyway...think shall wear it for Mel C's wedding inshaAllah. We'll see...there's still time.

Back to writing addresses...why the hell is F not picking up her fone?!!! We'v decided to go to Turkey. But slight problem...she wanna go away during freshers' week where i offered to help out the new 'ickle people....BIG PROBLEM!!!

beautiful people...ah bless

completely forgot to mention that there was this really pretty gal when i went for the interview. She was prob working for some next company in the building. Anywyas, this blog is about this person, nor about this kurdish man in town who was wearing some odd traditional outfit...hehehe

Coming home on the bus (yes...public transport) there was this old man(apna) and he had the most beautiful beard ever!!! *inshaAllah my hubby will have a beard like that when we in our old age...loadsa,loadsa dua*. It was just so full and white...plus he had a turban...would have adopted him there and then to be my grandad but he got off the bus. Boohoo.

shopping spree to make me feel better!!!

Why are the people in this world so CRAP?!!! (especially the muslims?!!!!) Aaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The reason i am upset...*she bloody didn't put sugar in my tea...will be right back*
is because i had a job interview today. Actually not really a job interview cos the guy was like he'd employ me permanently but since i still studying i refused. But did tell him i looking for something till mid September. Preferably paid cos i really need to get outta this overdraft...and very fast at that. The office was tiny...smaller than Ansar Finance and the guy was tiny too. Had a half hour interview where we discussed why i wanted to go into Islamic Banking, about Ansar Finance and...wait for it...the reason why im not too fond of muslims at the mo...about how muslims would rather save money by paying mortgages to the highstreet banks than get 'halal' mortgages. I don't know everything about halal mortgages(yet!!!) but for some it does work out to be more expensive. But if your sole purpose in this world is to obey Allah(swt) and attain Jannah then it won't hurt spending a little bit more money on a halal 'roof over your head'!!! And it's not like you can take your money to the grave with you so you might as well put that little extra money towards your halal mortgage. Its just means you can't go on lush holidays...buy fifty billion clothes...make-up in every shade for those who aren't allergic to it...brand new ride, *should be using public transport anyways*...yeah,yeah, the list goes on and on and on!!! Apart from that the interview went well, and he said if i had applied for a full-time job i would be on the short-list. And the job would have been pefect cos he said that it 5-6hrs a day Mon-Fri...would have time to go pick up the kids and cook before the huddy comes home. Shall keep them in mind when i graduate...but he did say that once i'd graduate i'd prob b aiming for something higher. But people have to start somewhere and that would have been PERFECTIMO!!! He took my CV and said he'd contact me next week once he's spoken to Mo (the other guy who works there)...inshaAllah i'll get the job for 6-8 weeks...everyone make dua.

And since i was in town i thought id buy something...for my sister who's getting married...mum cos she just the bestestest (gonna copyright that word...hehehe)...dad cos he been making me type so many addresses...NAH!!!think i shall just buy for myself! Oh, look Habitat has a sale...not that i have a house of my own but the house in Rusholme will do for now!!!...man, it was so beautiful...can't wait to decorate my own house!!! Had to buy something...didn't have any money but had my card YIPPEE!!! Bought the most simplest red duvet set...nothing special about it, just the fact that it looked so sexy (can't think of any other word...sorry) on display!!! Before you guy get any ideas...i bought it for MY single bed. ...just for ME!!
Then went into Oasis...there was a sale there also. *think practical...no more long skirts, you have enough...unless it different to any other you have*. Brought this white (long-sleeved...Practical!!...hijaab proof) shirt/top thingy...cover the bum too.hehe(£15 from £28). This black long kaftan top...its got 3/4 sleeves but it was only £10...reduced from £50. SUCKER whoever payed that much for it cos it not that pretty!!!! Plus the best buy ever...this pink handbag...for £10 (expensive i no) and it matches this pink seethrough saree i have. Mum majorly trying to get me to wear it to Bods Walima. It shows stomach so i don't think its wise...plus prob cudn't pray in it(with jilbaab on top obviously)!!! Im getting two sarees from BD...very excited. They both white (not shuti tho) and getting matching bangles too!!!! Told aunty to get me blouse made too with really short arms and she asked how i gonna wear it...what does she mean?!!!She really think i was gonna wear it in front of boys even with half-sleeve...doh!!!

Must go now...back to typing addresses! Am on page 12, with approx 18 addresses on each page...you do the math. Am we not even nearly finished. *must chuck away after im done otherwise dad'll get idea to save and invite these people to the next daughters' wedding....THINK NOT!!!!*
