LOL , its been so long when i say long i mean like nearly 3 months. But not to worri i will make it up this post worthwhile.
So you must be thinking " where the heck have you been ?" well my friends , i been places and loads of them.
Okay , so you can tell that i last wrote a post in like early august. Yep, well during that time period my mum was passing through my room as she usual does and came to a conclusion. Okay it went like this. It was a Sunday morning and everyone in their right mind know that Sunday is just another word for lazy.
Thats what i was pretty much doing, just chilaxing in the bed and sleeping. My mum comes and when it comes to waking people up - she does to an extent . This is like throwing the cover off me and telling me to get off my butt - but fair enough coz she is sick of the state of me. So i reluctantly say yes and fall back asleep . After like 2 hrs later, i am eating breakfast and mum says something that nearly makes me choke my food.
Mum: " i am sick and tried of you not doing anything - you have no job, no money and you just sit there in your computer"
Me :" ......."
Mum: " you are going holiday with me for a month "
Me: " cool ... where abouts?"
Mum: " back home "
Me: " cough .... what .. why ... what did i do? "
Mum : " its not a freaking punishment .. you are off to see your family "
So next thing you know i am at the back the plane flying towards dubai . I mean i love my country as in back home but i can't take the hassle of travelling, stress and the luggages. It all too much for me especially for a girl whom can only be bothered to just copy and paste words from google instead of spelling it.
When We were at the heathrow airport, we were at the gate and waiting for it to open. Whilst this was happening , my sis came to me and ask me to come with her to the toilet . Of course i refused - very word was " stuff you - go yourself " But my mum's glare told me otherwise and off i was . When we got there , we saw some bunch of arab women - i think from kuwait . Well my sis thought of greeting them as their muslims and she says " Assalamu alaykum "
I swear the look in their eyes seemed like we were some sort of alien that just learnt to communicate in english . Pure shock in their faces - i had to laugh partly coz of their reaction and my sis 's slight embrassment. I wondered why it seem like a shocking thing that we said salams but i guess it was coz it may not be a custom there. But I guess when you are not in a muslim country , you feel automatically a close link to a muslim when you see them and want to talk to them or even hug them - coz of that sisterhood.
But i guess it must be a different matter there.
( said " i guess too many time " Lol)
It was booked at the 8th august and i am off to the other side of the world. Well there was a bright side to it . - there were free movies but nearly 10 hrs of uncomfortable sleep - I really hate airlines.
Mum was already asleep , my sister whom also came along and my lil bro was watching some movies. But i was trying so hard to not sick out everything coz of the smell of the food. This would involve me actually breathing in and out inside the sick bag. There were odd people looking at me but frankly i did not give a stuffing coz i was suffering as it is .
The dubai trip was from the transit which was in muscat and that was a different matter itself . Oh the hospitality of people - the joy !
I am going to continue my story from the next post but its a late night and i got an arabic test that i still didn't revise for !
But i hope this story at least made up for those whom were waitng a post !
Once again, i will say i am sorry and have more updates

You what ?!!
There are times where I experience a situation and then think " did that just happen to me ?!" . I really question people's mentality sometimes - i mean even innocently walking in the street - you would be surprised at what people are like !
So This was like an ordinary summer day but its seems like half of the London citizens have been replaced with tourists . I am heading towards tottenham court road to go PC world for an Norton virus CD and hopped on the bus but was enjoying the comfortable seat to notice that i missed my stop like 30 mins ago - so i got off and headed to cross the street and read the info on another random bus stop so i could get back . I noticed when i was walking towards the bus stop that a big bunch of European family was at the stop too. I didn't take any notice - i figured just some tourists lost or something . Then one member of the family - i assume its the father approaches me ands says .
Man: " excuse me. Can you take picture "? - in a strong accent
Me : " Yes okay "
Okay listen - when this dude gave me this request - i assume something like holding their camera But...
Suddenly the dude stands next to me and puts his arms round me - in my mind i am thinking " what the heck " and then i start babbling ....
Me: excuse me ...what are you doing .?!? I can't have any contact with men . i am Muslim... I am confused .. what are you doing ? Take your hands off my shoulder..... why are you taking a picture of me ?"
I swear the dude and the wife holding the camera was ignoring me whilst i was ranting and took the picture of us anyways . After the snap shot .. I go
Me : What are you doing and why ? ..
Wife and Man: ...............
Me: Have you never seen someone like me ?
My mind: I mean seeing a Somali hijabi is not the most unusual thing to see in London - actually the opposite.
Me: " Where are you from ?"
Man and wife: Romania
My mind : " no wonder .. but still "
Me: ...
For like a minute i was contemplating what happened to me and watching their blank faces - (they r confused to why i questioned it LOL ) when the bus came - i thought i ani't got time and hopped on.
Then as i was in the bus - i was reflecting at the situation and what the aftermaths would be - then i remembered the picture of me that they showed me - I laughed - It was me- screwing my face like in disgust and looking at the mans hands on my shoulder . LOL XD i am really wondering what in the world are they going to do with that picture . Dunno probably going in the Romania 's funny moments competition - or i probably got loads of fans in Romania and i am the next voted president LOL - the lists are endless .
The story don't stop there - As i was walking towards PC world on an empty pavement - I didn't notice that a chav passing me - shouted racist slurs at me - actually it wasn't even shouted it was more like a whisper coz i only manage to catch a word from his dumb grunts . I literally laffed it off and told him to get lost - what a coward that he didn't turn back to approach me .
So when i came home - I told my sisters about the picture incident and they cracked up . But i was still thinking - should i have been defensive and assumed they were taking the mick or was this people really ignorant of other people that don't share the same looks and religion as them ?! - Oh well too late for that - but i really was shown that there are people whom are maybe intrigued by your difference and those whom hate it !
But Life goes on and I will still remain TripleA : the ordinary hijabi trying to make her mark in this world ! (- might already done it in Romania or not ) : )
a lil animated picture of how i felt at the pic moment !

Where does time go ????? !
One of the biggest mysteries that i encountered in my life and will be questioned forever. I mean i expected to have a summer where i could enjoy fun and anything related to it but reality couldn't be different. So i step out of the cave called uni and ran to my short lived freedom like 2 months ago - but the funny thing is when you got so much time in your hands - u just don't no wat to do. Jobless and bored - two combo that can kill your life ! So you might be wondering what i tried to do to ease my pain -Net! - Looking at all types of random rubbish and laffing my butt off ! There i came across this Korean show called Star King - i dunno - i suppose it must be known by some but it reminded me of a Korean version of britain got talent - except less humiliating! I mean u can go there and not feel like a loony or an idiot for showcasing that so called talent of your !

LOL XD this is apparently an talent from one dude but i know if this is taken in- then we all got a chance to win the prize money !
Aside from that - Ramadan is coming soon YAY ! allahumduilah but if i really want to make use of my time - i should really start to get ready for that !
I need to get ready for alot of things not just Ramadan - coz even watching these sort people - i can tell that they put effort and work in getting into a show like this( even though they have weird talents) ! - where time
was essential for them !
So its time to get ready for my checklist - coz now i can make most of time and not waste it inshallah !
Well this shows you that anything can give inspiration : ) !
LOL - just notice i overused the word " time " - sounds like i am trying to make really bad puns !
