week so far....

really...i just can't be bothered. But with my readership at two ppl i think i owe it to them to write on my blog.

14th September 2006- Omar + Mimi's milad at the 'Bia Lounge (wedding Lounge)'. First time at the venue- very nice and very near the Bengali mosque. Omar's Sheikh came to do a talk to the Bengali community (plus, other friends and family). Alhamdullilah women will be women...they couldn't stop talking so couldn't really hear him but my dad was impressed by the Sheikh (Sheikh Aftab Faisal Siddique, i think) so for that im happy. InshaAllah others benefitted from the Shiekh- look forward to seeing him at other talks.

15th September 2006- been lazy since i've been home and after waking up for fajr i sleep for another 5 hours!! went to see Amani in her school assembly today. She won 'Star of the Week' for this article thing she wrote. She looked so cute going up on stage. Nabeel was in the assembly too but think he was embarrassed to see me, mum and Bods there!! Went to enrol for the Tajweed course at the Amanah centre (bordesley Centre)...also starting Arabic. Weekly Friday circle was great- chance to meet up with sisters- there are so many reverts mashaAllah. Had to take the kids class this week which was a bit scary cos i had nothing pplaned. My sister usually does this class but she is now officially taking leave from that role and i have been offered it- dunno yet whether i will take it. Kids between 5-10 cute but hard to entertain for 1and a half hours!!!
















Weekend- didn't really do much except contemplate on whether or not to put up my batik painting and my mirror. Contemplate is all i did...
played in our garden too...and took pics with my amazing chinese impractical umbrella.

18th September 2006- woke up late for my Tajweed class at 10 so decided to go to the one at 1pm instead. The teacher seems nice- she made us read aloud in class so she could see how 'bad' (or good) we are. Used to feel nervous and shy before but now don't really care cos need to sort it out!! There was a revert sister ther who kept staring at me but then asked whether i had a sister...she knew Bods and said we looked exactly the same and could pass off as twins- yeah whatever!! There was other revert sister there too- gonna befriend her cos she's so cute. She's this big black girl but has this timid voice. Gave her a Abdul Hakim Murab CD that i happen to have in my bag about 'Dunya' or something.

19th September 2006- been waiting all afternoon for Tasha to come round. Some ppl really are bad at time keeping!! By the time she came Nad had finished work so she came round too. Showed off my new room and offered to do Nad's room in the future. Also went to 'Knowledge and Wisdom' bookshop in the morning- the woman there offered me a job but said the pay wouldn't be all that. I don't care cos i'm always there anyway; they prob don't make that much money anyway; its not that busy so i can just study; and may Allah (swt) reward me for semi-volunteering work at this place. Dunno when im going to start, just need to know when im free.

20th September 2006- decided to go see Eco in Leicester. Had to take my Mama(from Germany) there too to see my other Mama, who lives in Leicester. Eco's place is so cute. Its a very cosy flat- with a spare room for guests like myself. Her hubby wasn't there so i stayed. She cooked biryani for me, which was so yummy ;P Also got insured today!!! Went to see Dhadi in the morning too-- she's not feeling too good :(

21st September 2006- Eco left me alone in her flat while she went off to some hedge-project-thing. Walked it to my relatives house, and found my second cousin there too. She's so funny and random and is so the gossip to us cousins- she knows what's happening with who and where. She decided to let me know that my weird cousin from London who keeps 'accidently' ringing me fancies me and has done since we were 8 years old!! What bollocks!! Anyway, i figured ages ago but the only thing i can do is ignore him...like i have been my whole life anyway. Went to see my Mama again at work before we left Leicester. The restaurant he works at (Shimla Pinks) is so nice- was offered food but i refused like a stupid fool. Mama kept us up half the night with his funny stories. Think i've blogged about my funny family before but i have to say Boro Mama is the funniest out of all the siblings. Him and his family are planning to settle in the UK from GErmany this year...so excited!! Boro Mama also told us how my Nana wasn't going to give my mum away to my dad because of the village my dad was from- they were higher class and all that!!

22nd September 2006- woke early to go to the Arabic class. Picked up my sister on the way. She was late but didn't mind sitting in her house with her mother-in-law for a bit. The class didn't last very long- just had a mini test to see what level everyone was at but from next week it'll be 3hrs on Friday mornings. InshaAllah won't have lectures then!! Came back and went cruising with my sister and cousin Soha...well, just to Somerfields to get bits and pieces for my mum and to Bods' cousin-in-law's house. She made us somosas and tea. Been driving my car too much now- don't know if i can afford petrol... gonna go to Bhabi's house today. I have to wait till 9pm cos have to pick up Soha from work :(
