Trust Issues

Due to constant nagging, comments are now enabled so come one come all, speak you mind.

See I don't have trust issues....yet



I just checked and it hasn't enabled comments, I seriously tried. If some kind person could show me how to do it again I shall be gratefull(ish)

New Ideas

I was talking to a friend earlier on about ISB after being directed to their web page I found that there are muslim scouts!

Don't worry I don't want to join the scouts I'm as the same friend said 'old' BUT what I do want to do is set up a similar thing where I live. I know the neighbourhood kids, all of them would benefit and I can spend time with them without looking like a saddo who has no friends her own age!

I've sent an email to one of the organisers applying for it along with it a string of questions about the whole organisation. Hopefully if I get the reply I want I can carry this out and make it my summer project.

I'm already planning activities and ways to go about them. I laughed at my dad's new 12 seater but now I see the many, many, MANY uses it can have. I could take them on trips, we could have picnics and instead of the kids coming over to our house/garden to talk to me individually we could do group circle time like at school! It would be such a fun way to learn about Islam.

I'm getting so excited it's scary...I need to get out more or maybe its just passion ;-) I'm sticking to the latter ;-)

The Girls

I came home to 2 unexpected packages today. I turned then over racking my brains trying to remember if I had ordered something but then I saw my address written in a spidery squiggle I instantly recognised it and ripped them open. The first was 'The Girls' by Lori Lansens and the other contained 2 of J.K Rowling’s finest...the chamber of secrets and the philosopher’s stone.

Thank you very much for posting. Was a beautiful surprise :-) I've already starting reading it and the first chapter had me giggling and then almost n tears towards the end....I know it's going to be a great read!

On another note some other girls will be wrecking the house tomorrow. I'm now looking forward to seeing all of you and providing you with great entertainment.....

Reading List

With all my reading time spent mostly on uni books, researching stuff for assignments etc. I've realised I haven't read for pleasure for awhile. So here's a list of books I REALLY, really want to read. I've cut it down as much as I can (I haven't added Harry Potter). I'm hoping some of you kind hearted people might get a copy for me. I'm not fussy about the condition it comes in either ;-)

So in no particular order here's my wish list book list:

1. Once Upon A Country- A Palestinian Life - By Sari Nusseibeh with Anthony David
2. Daddy's Girl - by Lisa Scottoline
3. kite runner -by khalid husseini
4. The Girls - Lori Lansens
5. Eats,shoots and leaves - by Lynne Truss

Just 5 books. I could name you so many reasons as to why I deserve them but I'm sure that won't be necessary :-)

I love you all very much ;-)

Full Moon!!!

Saw the moon from my window, it looked so beautiful. A perfect full circle of silver. Perfect oppertunity to try out my photography:


My first attempt...I got the reflection of my blind instead of the moon...









Second attempt...too much flash. Discovered my self timer whilst fiddling to turn off the flash!











3rd attempt: RESULT!! Although not as good as how it actually looked. I didn't manage to capture the angry black clouds creeping up to hide it nor the scattred stars :-(




One of my friends took pity on me and went outside to get this pic for me. It captures everything I couldn't. Thank you very much and you are now officially invited to join me on my quest to find and go to photography classes. ;-)

Photography

Is a hobby I want to pursue. Having looked at a number of photography related blogs and websites I've been inspired to give it a shot. (No pun intended) It will also get some use out of my camera which only seems to appear out of it's case on special occasions.

Here's a few picture's I've taken already. They are very amateur as I've never had any lessons in photography.Maybe I'll try and go to some with my fair lady ;-)

So here's some of the best one's I took in dubai:

This is of the Burj. Taken on the way to 360. I like the way it just dominates the sky.

I can’t remember the name of this place. I took it on the same night as the Burj picture. I love the way the last of the sun's rays shine off the sides and reflect themselves in the smooth sea.

This is a picture taken from my sister’s apartment looking down on sheikh zayed road. I like the blurred cars it reminds me of how quick life passes by.
