Update: LamZity

Its been too long to stay away from the blogging world, so I'm back again! Ramadan was really good for me this year, I enjoyed it. Everything was going smooothly and I was feeling almost completely serene. This feeling, however, went away as soon as the month hit its end :(. So now I am back to myself... messy... disorganised... sad-lifed girl.

One good news though: I was selected to be a peer support leader for next year. That means I'll get to boss the year 7s around as much as I like...lol. We are getting our badges soon inshaallah. But it sort of is a lot of hassle, coming to school early... lunchtimes booked up.. leaving late. But I think it will push me to be a bit more organised.

All three of the Amin sisters are now wedded!! Hopefully we will have their wedding parties here again **hint** **hint**. This year has been filled with weddings! I didn't mind it though. Enjoying while I can. I have a feeling this season will take a break now. No weddings for a long time again :(.

Everyone's stopping blogging now. 'Tis so boring here nowadays. Hope to have you all back. DAGGERS: no excuses for you now!!

Holidays are coming up. Pray for me. I need a complete revolution in my organisational skills and time management skills :((!

BACK-NESS

Its been so long since I logged in... I almost forgot my password! Since everyone decided to re-activate themselves I just thought why not! So.. here I am.. (don't go away now)..

Next update: hopefully after Ramadan

Until then: HAVE A GREAT RAMADAN!!

Finding Myself

I see a mirror hung in that wall
But I don't think its working well,
i stoof infront and tried to look -
I tripped over, the mirror fell.

I see the water in the sea
But I don't think its very clear
When I leaned and tried to look
The wave splashed it away from here

I got a spoon and held it close
My breath steamed the surface, so,
I wiped it clean right away
But the spoon dropped to the floor

I can't see myself anywhere
I asked for help from the wise
Look within your heart, he said,
And that, I think sure would suffice.

My New Fascination....>

Robert Frost was one amazing guy. The first poem i read of him was A Road Not Taken and I absulutely LOVED it. This is another poem by him that i liked.

Asking for Roses

A house that lacks, seemingly, mistress and master,

With doors that none but the wind ever closes,

Its floor all littered with glass and with plaster;

It stands in a garden of old-fashioned roses.

I pass by that way in the gloaming with Mary; '

I wonder,' I say, 'who the owner of those is.'

'Oh, no one you know,' she answers me airy,

'But one we must ask if we want any roses.'

So we must join hands in the dew coming coldly

There in the hush of the wood that reposes,

And turn and go up to the open door boldly,

And knock to the echoes as beggars for roses.

'Pray, are you within there, Mistress Who-were-you?'

'Tis Mary that speaks and our errand discloses.

'Pray, are you within there? Bestir you, bestir you!

'Tis summer again; there's two come for roses.

'A word with you, that of the singer recalling--

Old Herrick: a saying that every maid knows is

A flower unplucked is but left to the falling,

And nothing is gained by not gathering roses.'

We do not loosen our hands' intertwining

(Not caring so very much what she supposes),

There when she comes on us mistily shining

And grants us by silence the boon of her roses.

BD as it is..~

We were watching the videos from Bangladesh yesterday and I really felt BDsick (not sick OF Bd..lol) so I thought I should write something up.
My trip to BD was absulutely unforgottable, fabulous and yes, fantasmagoric!!! My cousins were just shocking. The 4 ft talls became 6 ft, 2 ft talls became 4 ft and unborns were born. I have this really cute 3 yr old cous who just loovves the flynn's family anthem. I knew practically the whole song in my first wk 'cause he always sang it.
My half irish cousins - came from England about a week later and we had unbelievable times! All of my mum's side family met up in nanubari and headcounts got up to 56(!!). One of my irish bros showed us his lungis and tupis he got very excitedly..lol. We were all trying to teach them bangla and we kind of succeeded! Except that every single time we played kanamachi.. they would say: "kemon achi bho bho/ something something something something." Then they did a chocolate hunt for the kids and i got to help out. It was really good except that some of the kids started crying when they couldn't find the chocolates. Every night the boys and our mamas would have badminton matches and we would cheer from the sideline. Then after the matches we would all sit in the pukurghat and talk until midnight. *sigh*... good times...
And I'll not forget the impossible-made-possible ride on our way back from nanubari when FIFTEEN of us piled into a 7 seater! To make things worse, half way in the highway, I figured that I left my batteries for my mp3 player in nanubari.. life sure got stuffy at times.
But then, our cousins took us to Pizza Hut - the only halal pizza hut - which made up for it. 6 of us went - us three, those two, and another 1. Each of us ordered a made-for-two-people pizza and ate our hearts out. Then we had dessert that was just as delililicious!
I have a cousin who started hijab after we went (alhamdullillah). I hope she keeps it up.. Anyway, she was someone I said everything to, and she told me all her 'secrets' too...lol. We had so much fun together.
Apart from spending time with cousins and family, most of my days were started wandering up a shopping mall with ma/apuni and ended with wandering down the shopping mall with a dozen bags in both hands and looking half dead. I got a lot of salwar kamizes, earrings and so on.. AND I got a sari that is totally pretty!!! Apuni and I also made the sale rate of BDfood and Pran achar, dalbhaja etc go high. (I think the 2 extra kilos on my body came from them.)
The two weddings I attended was just fantastic. They were mostly completely Islamic. The food were great, the people were great and the brides were great! I was stunned to see Doe in all those jewelleries and the pretty sari, sitting ever so bridishly in that chair!! But then, I was more stunned only imagining M apu and A apu like that..!
I had a proffessional facial! at a real beauty perlour! AND a proffessional haircut! I have my hair in a u-shape at the back and I have layered fringes at the front. I am totally fascinated by my hair now~! lol.
Anywayz, i'm getting told to get off now.. unless i could've gone on for ages!
