I can't believe that I survived 5 days
without an internet connection in Salalah! the apartments we stayed in
were still new and the owner still didn't set up an internet line..
the stupid thing is, I don't really have anything to do on the
internet, I just feel GOOD when I know that my laptop is connected to
the internet, it brings me relief!... Oh and i don't need to tell you
how unlucky I am , because once I got back home i found out the phone
line was dead :@
anyways enough with my internet
addiction..
Salalah is such a heaven.. I wouldn't mind living their (only if
they set wireless everywhere and open up a
magrody and Dubai liltawzee3
book shop branches, maybe a couple of decent malls and coffee shops
and Coco's restaurant and seashell cafeteria lol )
I missed dubai.. i missed my friends
and family & most of all i missed my own messy room!...
my cousin.. I love his smile..
Uni is starting this Saturday which
means TOMORROW >_< .. things are still not settled about my studies, I
just hope for the best enshallah... am glad that i'll finally meet u
with my friends..
Lil bro, sound asleep..
I was thinking of doing kind of a
tutorial or maybe an entire update about my photos... some people have
asked me how I can make my pics look clear n all that stuff, believe
me, my poor cam is no more than 4 mega pixel and I'm not a good
photographer as my mum always says, "u still don't know how to
capture good shots like me ..." yeah she's good at letting
me down lol.. anyways, most of my pics are edited, I
love editing photos all the time.. even if the original picture is
great, I still can't help but play with it.. it's not much that I do
for I only adjust colors and brightness and crop ( I love cropping)..
enshallah ill share some of the steps that i do with you guys some
time soon..
ill leave you guys with Salalah's
photo album, am not pleased with the pics because most of them are
taken from inside the car... anyhow,
CLICK &
enjoy..

4:20 am full of hearts
Yesterday, you were part of my
everyday life, and today, tomorrow and until the end of time, you'll
be part of me....
I'm happy that I heard
your gossips and funny jokes
that I always loved, am glad you're back in person and inspirit ... I
love you! and I would never ever let someone else take away
your special place in my heart as long as I live ..
Today, I am glad that during a
certain period, we were close to being "history"... but
everything happens for a hidden reason that we do not quite get until
time uncovers it to us.. Today, the SHE has become so precious to both of us thanks to
you ... I miss
you
I am overwhelmed by the news! a
year ago, I shed tears of happiness on your engagement day, a few
months after, I wasn't able to hold those tears long enough that I
ended up showing your entire wedding hall that I do have tears in my
eyes >_<" ! when you fell sick, tears rolled down my cheeks
while praying for Allah to give you health & wellness, and today I
shed my tears for you once again, because what makes you happy always
brings me happiness as well..
I only stop hating the world
when I hear him talking his words... the greatest type of love is love
for Allah's sake.. He is the first person I experience this kind of
love with...
don't go too far guys, it's
Amr
Khalid then am talking about here lol
You were the first
person I sat next to a couple of years ago in school, I can still
remember the way we used to steal glances at each other.. I can still
recall the way you used to talk to fast that I hardly caught your
words hehe.. With some people, I strongly believe that your first
impression of them would stay with you for the rest of your lives
Sometimes, I laugh with
you in a way that makes me
want to cry! { now she's gunna start staring at me whenever I laugh
lain youm el qyameh :P!} Why?.. because when I am with you, I fall in world of thoughts,
and wonder how am blessed with such people in my life...
De rosa, Devilish & AWG :D

I'm so engrossed in reading
this book these days ... ill leave you with some of the favorite
quotes that I came across while reading ....
"We can compel men not to be bad, but
we cannot compel them to be good.."
" there is not act of faith more
beautiful than the generosity of the very poor..."
" God is impossible. That is the first
proof that He exists..."
" Suffering the the way we test our
love, especially our love for God..."
" justice is not only the way we punish
those who do wrong. It is also the way we try to save them...."
" nothing ever fits the palm so
perfectly, or feels so right, or inspires so much protective instinct
as the hand of a child..."
" sometimes we love with nothing more
than hope. sometimes we cry with everything except tears ..."
" you are not a man until you give your
love, truly and freely to a child. and you are not a good man until
you earn the love, truly and freely, of a child in return..."
" guilt is the hilt of the knife that
we use on ourselves, and love is often the blade; but it's worry that
keeps the knife sharp, and worry that gets most of us, in the end...."

إنا
لله و إنا إليه راجعون
After spending a long sleepless night,
i decided to stop struggling on bed and get myself occupied with
anything else.. some voice inside of me told me that i must go to "
Islam Way " right away and so i
did....
i waited for the page to load, and for some reason, it took more time
than the usual. after the page was fully loaded i got struck with the
first
lines in
the website...! i wondered if what I'm reading is actually THERE or
that it's just me that is reading things wrong because of the lack of
sleep...
I kept on reading those lines over and
over again trying to absorb the news...
وفاة الداعية
الكبير "أحمد ديدات"
وفاة الداعية الكبير "أحمد ديدات"
وفاة الداعية الكبير "أحمد ديدات"
......
Just a minute before i
log onto the internet i was bringing back the memories of those who
are gone .. telling myself that it's always those who make a
difference in our lives that become chosen to leave.... and i did not
expect this coming, not at all.. a lot of you might wonder who he is
and some might as well know this great guy , but if you ask me what he
is to me, then i'd say that he is the one person who made the biggest
difference in my life.. this south African man whom i only read his
books and asked about was able to make me understand certain points in
Islam than no other Arabic religious scholar was able to...
2 years ago, i was in
the book shop fiddling with the books on the shelves and was moving a
book to see what might be under it, and there, for the first time i
saw his book.. a very humble book, that's cover directly told me that
it's a very old print.. i was curious about the guy that appeared on
the front cover and i went straight to my father and asked him who
Ahmed Deedat is...
Since that day, I've been reading his books, researching online about
him and discussing everything that concerns the amazing man with
her.....
I know that she would feel the same way that I do for we both were
moved by this courageous man that even though he was paralyzed for the
last 9 years of his life, it did not stop him from debating and
teaching those who came to him or choose to contact him in using any
method....
Remember when
you once said : "i wish
if were given a chance to visit him and have the honor of learning
from him..." ?
well.. i guess we will
still keep on wishing, but the only difference is that we will pray
for Allah to give us this moment in heaven enshallah....
BTW.. i have only found
two websites on the internet that were concerned about his death, if
it's some kinda stupid celebrity that died, wouldn't the number 2
have like 20 ZEROS following it!??!... what a sick world we live in
that only gives a damn about sick people....
to learn more about
shiekh Ahmed Deedat follow these links..
The last couple of days were a series
of stress stokes, now that schools are about to start very soon, am
too afraid of having to go back to the same killing routine that
drains all my strength .. i do NOT want to repeat the " feet dragging"
process every morning AGAIN...
I know that i complain a lot but i really can't help it when i remind
myself of the fact that it's a matter of 4 years of uselessness ...
I came up with an idea that will surely
get me outa my current blood sucking school :P but will also mean that
I'll hafta put ALOT of effort and time.. I'll hafta be able to handle
two tasks at a time and bear with the fact that most of my precious
time would be spent outside home..
it will be a new experience and will
need me to begin coping with things I was never ever used to before...
One thing I know for sure though, this experience will make me learn
many many things, more than I would learn if I stay in the same school
going through the same stations and meeting the same faces,
(especially those faces which have the sign "why am i alive?" stamped
on)... :P
Anw, wish me luck guys.. i really do
need your prayers...

She is leaving tomorrow, &
poor me is gunna be left all alone in DXB .. well, the good things is

grief hehee

of time things change to what we desire... gunna miss you wya rasch...
