boom

Why am I blogging? I have like, nothing to blog about. Even if I did, why would I blog about it? Even if I felt like blogging about it, how would I blog about it? Even if I knew how I would blog about it, I couldn't.
Because I'm having a blogger's block. do you know what that is? it's this.
But now that I've already started writing, I don't want to stop yet.

the jungle book Pictures, Images and Photos

I just finished watching The Jungle Book and I cried while watching it... I miss old Walt Disney movies so much<3 Remember? The Lion King, Aladdin, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mulan, Anastasia? Disney used to be so so awesome back in those days and out parents would be ready to buy us all the Disney merchandise. anything we ever wanted. but now? what do little children scream and create tantrums for? Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Selena Gomez, The Jonas Brothers, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody!! haha, yes, I know names because my 11 year-old niece & her friends love these people. Their parents had to get their Disney channel subscription cancelled because their daughters were learning bad manners and impertinence from these tv shows... just my 2 cents. I would do anything to get to watch The Lion King or Mulan in theatres again. *sigh* here are some lovely avatars for you to use. I didn't make them, just stole them off photobucket:

ps: *sings* jungle jungle pata chala hai, chuddi pehen ke phool khila hai! phool khila hai!
haha. xD this was the theme song for The Jungle Book in Hindi. lol.
pps: I admit it! today, while my niece was watching youtube videos of the Jonas Brothers, I actually paid attention to the music which I used to think was utter crap. I realized it isn't all that bad... The songs have good beats, and even though Joe sounds like a boy who's just gone through puberty- they don't suck. They're definitely better than Tokio Hotel. *grimface* no, really.

1 am blogging

I've kind of lost all my writing power cause we're freakin' being taught things like prepositions, clauses in English =S Anyway, I'll get to that later.
Since I got my camera, My blog became less important for me... and I realized that I hadnt blogged for two whole months when I read this: click
Whatever happens, im never ever going to let anything else come in between me and my blog *love*

Oh yeah, and I did finally get a SLR camera =) its awesome.
Then I joined university and made lots of awesome friends.
Then Miss Kitty's box of yay arrived. with my hand puppets, frankiebat, pockethluhu in it
Then it was Ramadhan- which was fun and more ibadah-filled as ever <3
Then there was Eid, which I didnt really enjoy much. except for spending time with my friend and watching lotms =D
Oh, and I've been plushing & drawing occasionally
and taking lots of pictures.
Then madressa started. & Im teaching LKG.

Today was the last day of our one-week eid holiday's, and university starts tomorrow.
Peace.

Summer

Before I started typing, I was just sitting there thinking of how to start. Do you see what summer has done to me? My creativity is dying!
I have to say though, that this summer has been more productive than previous ones!
For one, I've been going swimming! And the other day, I bought myself oil pastels and shading pencils so I could start making some proper art on paper ^_^ I like what I did so far... I think im actually quite good at it! [/endpride]

Summer has also brought along with it my 4neices and a nephew. Thats 5 children living in one room- and that unfortunate little room is mine. All that hard work I put into organizing my bedroom has gone to waste. It is a total mess! And when I say mess, I mean ULTRAMESS!!!!!! I'm also spending an hour everyday to teach my neices/nephews Qur'an and discussin other Islamic issues which they need to know about... PLUS I achieved my goal of watching all of the movies and reading all the books that I couldn't throughout the year. :D

Summer season is also, apparently, Shaadi season. And when there's shaadi's, there's also shopping, spending hours getting ready & socializing! All these weddings are turning me into a freaking social animal! OH MY GOD. I am being brainwashed!
And this is the funny part, I do not know more than half of the people who are getting married. No offence though, but lady, I do not know who you are! so why am I invited to you wedding?
Congratulations&Mabrook to everyone (I know) who got married this summer =] Wishing ya'll a happy married life!

Peace out.

Update

I can't believe this. I have so much stuff. SO MUCH.
Stuff which includes rough/chat books, papers with silly jokes and doodles, text books, papers!, magazines, activity books, autograph/phone number books, photographs, trinklet boxes, files, accessories, stationery, diaries, phone books, toys, board games, scrapbooking material and a whole lot of other small and large things.

I have a whole shelf full of madressa textbooks, files, papers
and another shelf full of Mujtaba magazines
2 whole shelves full of school books
and 2 more shelves full of photographs!

...all this was buried in my huge cupboard! just lying there being of no use.
I look at that stuff everyday and I dont know what to do with it. I cant throw it away and I cant use it either.
So today, like 2 days before my exam, I chose to organize my cupboard. I threw away a lot of old books and papers which I didn't need. I stacked all the jewellery, stationery and tidbits into shoeboxes.
I need something on which I can display my stuffed toys, some kind of large bin where I can just dump my purses and something to hang my ties and scarves on.

So... im going shoopppiinnggg tonight! :D Im hoping to find one of those pigeon hole hangy net things.
----------------------------------------------------------
I have my last exam on 13th June and I'm leaving for Iran on the 16th InshaAllah!
Unfortunately, my camera isn't working so i won't be able to take any pictures :(
That makes me a little sad, but atleast I'm going after such a long wait!

Now for more good news :D
My sister's kids are coming from California to spend their summer with us. I'm really happy, no doubt but I am slightly uh, unsure...
I'm seeing them after a really long time, what if they don't like me? Or what if they get all homesick and miserable? What if they start hating me? and worst of all, what if I'm never able to make friends with them and keep losing my temper? =/
*sigh*
oh, I am also getting my sisters old Canon Rebel!!! Its still working all proper and takes amazing pictures. Finally! It also means that daddy doesn't have to spend his hard-earned money on some camers I want and I can use the money that I saved up for other things... maybe some cushions or a proper side-table for my room =)

Peace! <3

What is up with these people nowadays??

Yeah so...
I'm not sure how to start this though =/
DISCLAIMER: this post is my views, my thoughts, my rants... Just so you know I am not an expert and I'm just thinking out loud.

What I don't get is... how all of sudden in the past erm, 5 years maybe? all these theories and doubts and opinions have come up about Azadari and Ibadah and whatnot from people who think they have the flippin' authority to make up fatwas!
I mean things like:
"Zanjeer Zani is Haraam"
"Nad E Ali is inauthentic"

both these statements have been proved wrong. yep.
these mistakes happen Just because of the few annoying so called self proclaimmed ayatollahs all over the internet and (this is true) in our own society brainwashing people against traditional and very authentic and halaal Shiáh Islamic practices.

We have people saying things like "We should stop having Alams, Mehndi, tabooth in our Azakhaanas. Its Haraam We should stop Zanjeer Zani and Qama Zani. it is Haraam!" Where were all these people last year? and then they claim that Marja's have forbidden it (NOT) and give some very superficial, baseless arguements against it all... the most common is "it gives people the wrong image about shiaism... that we worship Alams and tabooth and that we hurt ourselves" dude, it didn't give them a wrong impression for so many years, why would it give them a wrong impression NOW?? then... its "because of 9/11" lmao and the funniest thing is that after 9/11 there have been a majority of people converting to Islam/Shiaism even after seeing graphic zanjeer and Qama picture. IN YER FACE vatt you say now, huh??

If we Shiáhs can't agree on the one thing that keeps us united (Hussayniat and Azadari), I mean, i don't know what will happen now...
In Dubai itself we have atleast 5 different Shiáh groups:
1) The Neutral ones.
2) Ya Ali Madad/ Malangite
3) Akhbari
4) Anti-Azadari
5) I know better than you

Now, I will explain each of the groups as how I see them or have observed them.:
1) The Neutral ones....
People who pray, do azadari, live life. =]
Doesn't need much explanation.. does it??

2) Ya Ali Madad/ Malangite:
People whos life is alllll azadari! No Ibadah, no Namaz, No Hijab... just matam.
Have their own modified version of Religion, do it however you feel comfortable...
Instead of 'Salam Aleikum' they have 'Ya Ali Madad'... They're not Alavi's though.
and btw, this ain't the proper definition of Malang... just the extremely modified one =S the actual Malangs are people like Hassan Nasrallah, the marja's, Ahmedinejad and in the older days Malik E Ashtar, Salman E Farsi, Mesum E Tammar etc.People who would give their life for Imam Ali and who would be ready to take lives of people who insulted Imam Ali BUT the same people would control their anger and stop themselves if Imam ordered them to... The kind of people who would jump into a furnace without a question when Imam ordered them to.

3) Akhbari:
I don't know much about them but basically, they don't do Taqleed and um, curse and swear at Marja's and Ayatollah's.

4) Anti-Azadari:
AHA! the group I'm trying to aim with the whole post at... these are NOT, NOT the people who sit at the majalises and recite duas while the marsiyas are going on and suddenly jump up and listen when the recitor sits on the mimbar or who start panicking when they can hear the adhaan and it is time for prayer during the masaaíb (they're just people who belong in the Neutral group but prefer duas and tasbeeh more...)
BUT Anti-Azadari people are those who would rather stay at home reciting duás or praying rather than go to majlis because "those practices take place" Anti-Azadari people are those who claim that Zanjeer Zani and Qama Zani ar haraam and who WILL NOT FLIPPIN STOP trying to convince others that it is Haraam goooossshhh!!! D= leave us alone! People who try to discourage Alams, Mehndi, Tabooth, Oud, Jhoola etc and now that people have started to be easily convinced, they have started "preaching" more openly. But remember, the more you stop it, the more it will happpen... it will not stop. get that.

5) I know better than you:
People who are self proclaimed ayatollahs and think they can say anything they want and people will believe it...
I mean, because of these people, others have started doubting the authenticity of Nad E Ali, Dua E Tawassul and Dua E Kumayl... Unbelievable!!

I don't really know what I'm trying to say... Its just a rant. so yepp. I don't want it to be like this why cant we all be One. The Shiah of Ali. Why do we need to always oppose each others opinions. WHY WHY WHY ae we believing and getting brainwashed by the people who do not want any good for us?!?!? Why should you change your views about traditional and religious practices which have been going on for almost forever, now??
I'm not an expert at all this... but I know enough to tell that we will all end up fighting each other instead of fighting the enemies! and guess whos gonna appear later and later than Hes supposed to?

ps: PEACE YO!!! <3

Kenn Nesbitt- my new favourite person. <3

Rapunzel! Rapunzel!

"Rapunzel! Rapunzel! You've cut off your hair!
Your billowing tresses are no longer there.
That mohawk you're sporting is spiky and pink.
I'm really not certain just what I should think.
"I came here expecting to clamber a braid,
ascending your tower to come to your aid.
Instead I have suffered the greatest of shocks
to find that you've cut off your lovely blonde locks."
"Prince Charming, Prince Charming," Rapunzel replied,
"I have no intention of being your bride.
We will not get married. We will not elope.
I've cut off my hair and I've braided a rope.
"You came here to visit me once every day,
and promised that soon you would take me away,
but you were too clueless to even concieve
of cutting my hair off so we could just leave.
"I cannot believe you were such a big dope.
I come and I go as I please with my rope.
And so, I'm afraid I can't give you my hand.
In spite of the fabulous wedding you planned."
From then on Rapunzel was known through the land.
She toured the world in a rock and roll band.
And silly Prince Charming, with rocks in his head,
rode off and got married to Snow White instead.

Day out with Daddy x]

9th January 2007
The most dreaded parents consultation day was here, and dad picked me up from home at 10am. Off we went to school so my teachers could tell daddy how talkative, unorganized and inattentive I was :[ We reached and 'Fast Lane Express', a band from our school was playing 'Punk Rock 101'. Daddy didn't like the loud music but I was silently singing along. The music (along with my smile) slowly faded away as we made our way to my class. All the teachers said "She has the ability to gain better marks, only if she worked harder..." i work harder and harder everytime but improve very less.

I was tired and upset and wanted to go home, but daddy had some work to do, now that we were already in Dubai.
So we made three more stops before going home...
Our first task was to pick up the old parcham/flag of Karbala, Of the Dome of the Shrine of Imam Hussain (AS) from a particular short, bearded Iranian man, Agha E Mohsini who has owned the flag for quite a few years.

Next, We went to the Jupiter Airlines office because Daddy had to book tickets for the next Karbala trip on Arbaeen. Here, we were supposed to meet Mr. Hussain- someone who daddy calls his friend and younger brother. Apparently, the younger brother was a chain smoker and looked like a mob, wearing gold rings and a leather jacket. When we entered his office, there was smoke everywhere and the smell of the cigarettes gave me a horrible headache :(

Our next stop was my environmentalist and inventor grandfather (my dada's brother), Ghulam Ali Sajanlal, who everyone calls "Chief". I like going to his house because he always has awesome new things to show me :] and he says I'm the only one in the family who actually appreciates and understands his work <3 aw. He has a whole awesome 'garden' in his balcony and he used like, pipes as pots for his flowers. cool, huh?
Invention 1
Invention 2
Invention 3
Invention 4

It was 4:00pm by the time we dropped the parcham off at the Imambargah and finally, reached home. *sigh*

Late Night Rants

Today is 19th Ramadhan, one of the three significant nights of Laylatul Qadr nights. It 2:50 am and here I am, online for a few minutes before the people come to our house for the Sehri majlis of Yawm E Zarbat E Imam Ali AS.

Sleep... is what I'm going to rant about. I hardly slept yesterday except for 2 hours in the afternoon. I couldn't sleep at night cause I had to do the Shabe Qadr amaal till like 11:30pm. After that I cleaned up the house, looked after the kids, laid out the sufra etc till like 1:00am. I finally sat down to finish my homework, which took me just half an hour. I was now getting ready to sleep but Dua Joshan E Kabeer was coming on TV and I couldn't help listening to it. I kept falling asleep but my sleep was getting disturbed time to time because of my mom or dad calling me from the kitchen or living room to do little chores and jobs here... that took me another hour. I finished at 2:30. But guess what? Theres no time for me to sleep now because the people are going to come anytime now so I helped my mom in the kitchen for a while and now I'm online.

3:12- People are already here but I'm still online. Yeah cause I need to finish blogging. So the Suhuwr will start now and the majlis at 4:00 and end before Fajr.
When I'm going to get some sleep, I don't know. And I'm even more clueless about how I'm going to stay up during classes at school.

*sigh*

edit: I stayed up throughout the whole majlis. It went went Alhamdillah I'm glad I stayed up. I also bunked school. yay =]

A Picture says a thousand words...

I had no intention of blogging today or any other day till something interesting happened (note: me falling ill is NOT interesting and neither is the start of a new school year. not anymore atleast) but I was nagged and nagged by a certain friend (*ahem*hanah*ahem*) who kept threatening me that she wouldn't give me the awesome phone themes she had made until I blogged. So here I am, blogging =]
And here's a picture that will make you smile... cause it sure made me smile!

Thank God it's Friday... NOT!!!

Earlier "Thank God it's Friday" is what everyone would think when they woke up in their cool, air conditioned rooms with a clear mind, thinking of which mall or park they would go to but nowadays Friday is like a burden. Now everyone wakes up on Friday (in their cool, airconditioned rooms) but not with a clear mind but a polluted one thinking "Oh GOD! the heat, the traffic, the koondey AAAAHHHH. Why did I wake up?!!?!?" Uh, seriously.

Friday is a day which people use to finish household shopping, spend time with their family and do other stuff they couldn't normally do on the weekdays BUT they end up not doing any of that and instead stay stuck in the traffic all day long, start getting cranky and come back home (empty handed?)
Its the day which everybody dreads... the day fathers don't get to rest, the day mothers blood pressure goes high, the day kids wish they could spend their day and home rather than be dragged around by their parents everywhere.
Friday, they day you find no parking, they day you buy your Salik tag even though you would never need it again and the only day on which people keep koondey.

Gosh =[ Yeah I just didn't have a very good Friday. It was very dull- so black n white. Even all the pictures I took, I took ém B&W
Hope you had a Fun Friday =]

Around the world in 45 minutes

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
Finally found a picture of them painting the box :P

I never Imagined sitting in a cardboard box with three kids and screaming would be so much fun :D We started by finger painting graffiti and random stuff on the cardboard box, Me, Zakeeya (6), Zaira (2) and Rabab (1) waited impatiently for it to dry up so we could finally sit inside it.

We all managed to fit in the little aerobox, sitting in absurd positions on each others laps. The aerobox was ready for take-off, me and my co-pilot started by slowly flapping the wings of the aerobox and once it was suspended a little bit above the ground, we started flapping faster. Soon, we were flying in the clouds feeling the cool fluffy tasteless cotton candy on our faces- we left the aerobox on autopilot and enjoyed the beutiful view UNTIL the cabin crew reported that there was a stink bomb in the aerobox. As my co-pilot could not bear the smell, I alone had to make the emergency landing and deal with the evacuation of the aerobox and the elimination of the stink.
Within half-an-hour of Dexters' Laboratory, the aerobox was ready to fly again. We decided not to waste time and wanted to make it a happy and joyful trip. Our first destination was Africa, which we had to leave due to an elephant stampede. Next we went to the Sahara (centre) for some shopping but we spotted my computer teacher due to which we had to leave immediately and could not finish out grocery shopping. I advised my co-pilot to consult with the cabin crew as to what should be our next destination, they said Antarctica- where no computer teachers or big scary animals are to be found, only cute n cuddly polar bears. On landing in Antarctica, my co-pilot Zakeeya let out a shriek "OH NO SNOWSLIDE" (yeah she knows what they are, i told her to scream that :D) so once again, we could not enjoy our 3 minute trip to Antarctica... this was the worst aerobox trip ever :(
Zaira, one of our cabin crew members suggested Karbala, though she didnt really say anything she gave us a hint by humming the nauha "Jaane Wale Karbala Ke, Karbala Le Chal Mujhe" so I agreed with her saying 'Yes, What a safe place to go Zaira!' This trip took quite a long time because the nauhas kept coming one after another and we couldnt land unless the majlis was totally over... well, we finally landed with a big jolt and found ourselves and the aerobox floating on River Furat, as our aerobox was getting wet and starting to tear from the bottom we did the ziarat of the Haramayn with only our eyes and took off again to go back home. we were getting tired and were already late for dinner. *grumble* WHY IS THERE NO FOOD IN THE AEROBOX, I TOLD YOU NOT TO FORGET!!! co-pilot Zakeeya was screaming at the youngest cabin crew member who started sobbing silently then broke into tears. So anyway we landed safely in our room with a torn aerobox bottom with grumbly tummies and rushed to the dinner table to eat roti salan.

OOOoookkiii i sort of got really carried away with this. Yes, we did sit in a cardboard box and imagined flying all around the world though. But while writing this i got really really carried away... im not even sure if its even any good. *sigh* yay for imagination <3>

O look who's 15 now

Bwa... my b'day was on the 17th but I couldn't blog because my computer had crashed.

A huge purple balloon popping over my head and the confetti flying all over at 12:00 midnight. My very first surprise b'day party :) There was confetti everywhere and I could hear many screechy loud voices singing 'the happy birthday song' and some screaming "SURPRISE!!!" for me as I came out of the loo. :P it was Sana and she had come with her whole family. There was cake-cutting and salawats and more of the the happy birthday song even though sang at a high pitch sounded like nice, melodious music to me. lol hehe <3 They stayed until 2 am to celebrate and we had a partehhh!
I even got loads of text messages from my friends. Gosh, I feel so lucky to have such friends!

The next day at school, all my classmates sang to me while i was standing in front embarrased and blushing... not sure whether to just stand there and listen or sing to myself lol. I got hand-made cards from all my friends, which I really really loved! And even a box of Galaxy jewels' from one :P :P

At home, I was getting ready to go to a movie with my sis-in-law but what I didn't know was that i had another surprise coming up (yay) I rang the bell and waited for my bhabi to open the door and when she did, my friends and cousins were all standing there in their 'we-have-to-surprise-her' positions and the second I entered, everyone screamed 'SURPRISEEE!" there were more people this time so it sounded louder. And again we had a party. I overate.

This was a really memorable birthday. Today, I realized how much everyone cared for me and that I never really give them back the love which they give me :/ Also, I never ever had anyone throw a surprise party for me but this time I had TWO! bwuhahaha <3

Otherwise, I have my finals coming up yeah the Exams, Examinations, Eggzams, Ex-ams, dumzams. Yeah whatever you call them. Those. so i might be going on a short hiatus or something... it won't be too long, maybe a month or so.

Pearls Of Wisdom
Prophet Muhammad (sawaw)
*The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr.
*He who travels in the search of knowledge, to him God shows the way of Paradise.
*Deal gently with people, and be not harsh; cheer them and condemn not.
*The best of friends is he who is best in behavior and character.
*Whoever loves to meet God, God loves to meet him.

Imam Ja'far Al Sadiq (AS)
* Knowledge is a shield, truthfulness is might, ignorance is abasement, understanding is glory, generosity is success, good behavior causes friendship, he who has knowledge about his time ambiguous things do not attack him, and determination is mistrust.
* There are three kinds of people: The scholars, the seekers of knowledge and all the others are a waste of humanity.
* The most perfect of men in intellect is the best of them in ethics.
* Verily, knowledge is a lock and its key is the question.
* If you are not patient, then pretend to be patient.

Weehh ... I have my spring break. yay. ends on the 14th so I have time to finish allllll my pending work. I already finished writing the Karbala Diaries. I just have to get over with my shopping and then start studying for my exams!!! :O

Imam Hassan Askery

8th of Rabi-al-Awwal Martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hasan Al Askari(a.s.) - the 11th Holy Imam.
On this occasion of sorrow and grief in the household of the Prophet Mohammad(sawaw), I wish to extend my condolences to the Prophet Mohammad(sawaw), Imam-e-Zamana(a.s.), the Ahl-e-Bait(a.s.) and to all Mo'mineen and Mo'minaat.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

this moharram, I feel like I wasn't able to do azadari like I wanted to *sigh*
This marsiya totally describes how I'm feeling right now


Ae soogwaaroon aaho bukaa ka maqaam hai
Ab rukhsat Hussain Alaihis Salaam hai
Mehmaan tumhara jaata hai jo tashna kaam hai
Sar peeto khaak urao ke matam tamaam hai

Ab wo sadaa e Haye Hussaina na aayegi
Ghar mein tumharey Fatima Zehra na aayegi

Ae shah E Karbala teri khidmat na hosaki
Ae kushatey jafa teri khidmat na hosaki
Ae Jaane Fatima teri khidmat na hosaki
Mehmaan E Nainawa teri khidmat na hosaki

Jee bhar ke rosake na yeh gardish naseeb hai
Majlis yeh aakhri hai Hussain e Ghareeb ki

Abbas E Bawafa, Ali Akbar na jaiey
jhoole ko khaali chor ke Asghar na jaiey
Le kar baraat Qasim e bepar na jaiey
Weeran makaan hota hai sarwar na jaiye

Aai sada na ro azadar ayengey
Phir agle saal apney bhare ghar ko laengey

Bechain Fatima hai na aansoon bahao tum
Mein jaa raha hoon rokey na mujh ko rulao tum
Zehmat na ho to meri ziyarat ko aao tum
Turbat pe aakey ashkon ki chadar charhao tum

Mehmaan jo Karbala mein mere paas ayengey
Un sab ki peshwaari ko Abbas aayengey

Tum khush naseeb ho tumhein yeah martaba mila
Zehra bhi tum mein beth ke roti hai aik jaan
Kehti hai mere bache pe karte hai yeah bukaa
mujhse na hoga in ka kabhi shikriya ada

Ihsaan na taba hashr bhulayegi Fatima
Jannat mein tumse pehle na jayegi Fatima

Ae Tashna kaam o bekas o nakaam Alwida'
Ae mubtilae hasrat o Alaam Alwida'
Ae bekafan Ali ke gul andaam Alwida'
Masbooh e Taegh e shimr bad anjaam Alwida'

Mazloomiat pe aap ki jaan apni khoengey
Jab tak hai zinda Aap ke matam mein roengey

Ae shaahe Karbala e Moalla Salaam lo
Ham bekasoon ke wali o Maula salaam lo
Aaqa Salaam lo Shahe Waala salaam lo
Ae Fatima ke chaand hamara Salaam lo

Rukhsat yeh aakhri hai dil afgaar aaye hai
Maula Salaam lo yeh azadaar aaye hain

WSalam

omgg ... its just my fourth but i love it so much omg. My mum is gonna use this for her webby yay. Its sorta untidy though isn't it?

Hah, also... I got tagged by Pam
RULES: “Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!”

10 weird habits/secrets…
1. I highlight text when I'm reading anything online. A habit I adopted from my cousin. She used to do it a lot and then I started doing it too.. Weird.
2. I am currently obsessed with puppets and crayons.
3. I talk to myself in the loo. alot... I talk to myself like the second person :D
4. I often go to sleep with my glasses on. Im so used to them jeez
5. If I start laughing it takes a (long) while for me to stop. Its the same with my dad and if we both start laughing at once.... *lol*
6. I'm so totally not good at this. I suck at describing myself
7. I eat yoghurt with almost everything. I finish two medium0sized boxes in a week so you can imagine. hehe
8. I get very annoyed when people read slowly and voice out all the letters in a word. EE i hate slow readers. oh also, I think its abnormal that some people dont read books.
9. I like short, trimmed nails... long nails are annoying.
10. I don't eat rice with a spoon or fork. It more fun eating the desi way- with my hand :P
I tag *Hanah Butt *Caz *Ali Imran *Sadaf Aapa *Karachiite *Oz
