Duaas please!!!

Assalamu alaikum to all those reading my dull and boring entries; Ins'Allah you're all doing super good.

I am SOOOOOO exhausted. I can't even lift my legs no more. My eyes are almost going to pop out of their sockets. My hands are about to fall off as well. ya3ni we had to make this pre-school shopping today..tsk tsk tsk..I don't mind shopping at all, but TODAY???!!!And tomoryrow is my biggest day ever!!! Why? Well, because I am going to meet one of my bestest and closest friends on SC TOMORROW SATURDAY!!! I am sooooooooo nervous, thrilled, confused, super happy, preplexed ahhhhh...I am not going to make this long, because I've got to finish my packing and get ready to wake up early tomorrow morning. I am going all ALONE *tears* by the train/metro for appx five hours and then I'll be meeting her there in the subway station insh'Allah. I CAN"T wait Ya Rubby. The first time I met her OMG. It was such a hilarious scene and I mean it. It lasted for like 5-10 minutes, and I was going crazyyy I swear...loool..I'll talk about this later. She's invited me a couple of times early this July for her wedding party and all..but I couldn't go unfortunately :( . Now this one is going to be a small party for the girls only and I'll get to see her as much as I want *yay going crazy* AHHHH. I can't wait. Btw, I'll be staying for one night there and coming back sunday night INSHA'ALLAH.

All I want from you guys is to make lottts of duaas for me *blush* as I am easily getting used to being lost. What if I don't get off at the right station? What if I don't see her in the station? What if I fainted from emotions overwhelming me? *tears* Pleaseee..ya Allah...make this journey run smoothly and at ease and may there not be a dopey person sitting beside me on the train ya Rub.

OMG...12:49 a.m I better hurry up!!!

I will update this as soon as I come baaaaack insh'Allah.
keep me in your duaas please :(
Wassalam

UPDATE:

Where do I start? I wanna go through it all over again :cry: only if I can rewind the tape :( . It was the most fANtAstIc night I've ever lived through. We kept on hugging each other every second and the other *blush* lol.

So as I mentioned earlier, we've met one time before, as it was at the hussayniyah in her town but it was tooooooo quick. ya3ni we talked for like 5-10 min's and then I said I have to go since my father and uncle were waiting me down stairs. Though it was crazy I swear. I am like "OMG ...OMG" " Is this really A.H before me or who" " OMG why are those people staring at me" Not to mention the number of colours my face kept changing to. Red..yellow..green..normal...red again LOL. I was too shy and so excited simultaneously :$ .

Early this summer,the girl invited me a couple of times to her wedding party and a few other girls get-togetheres but I couldn't make it unfortunately. After a couple of weeks, when the girl does her first visit to her parents' house, they do a small party too. I couldn't resist not going this time. ya3ni we really had to meet. We were desperate to see each other again lol. Alhamdullilah I was able enough to go on the train all the way to there all by my self. My first time travelling alone :'(. My father kept checking on me every second and the other literally, lol. It was def. a loong journey, but Alhamdullilah I made it there safe and sound. Luckily I got the window seat, and then there was this chinese girl sitting beside me, then she disappeared somewhere else. I got to own the two seats for myself hehe.

After my arrival, her father picked us up from the station and we were talking non-stop all the way to the hairdresser. She's such a sweet sis. I miss her already :(. So we stayed for a couple of hours, then we went to her house afterwards. Her mother was such a nice khala, so sweet and welcoming (keeping in mind that I am her friend whom she's met on the hussayniyah rofl). We ate then got dressed, and made ready the anasheed and mawaleed for the party. She looked so charming Masha'Allah. The tears kept flowing by every now and then.

So as usual, the party was scheduled at 6 but we arabs have this tendency of coming late to such occassions. some came at 8, others at 9..it was crazyyy lol. I told her next time, make it at 4 and they'll be here at 6. It always works that way, especially with my mother. tsk tsk tsk. Nevertheless, it was soooo much fun wallah..we had a blast. There were a lot of Lebanese and they did their "dabka" too. hehe. I was the camera man video taping, and taking numerous pix of alll different angles. I couldn't help myself but drop a few other tears too. Just seeing her smiling is a lot for me. So as the 7aflah came to an end, the girl, her mother and her sis were begging me to stay overnight and sleep at their house, but I just couldn't. My uncle, who lives there, was like you come all the way here and not even drop at our house...no way. I couldn't postpone my date of return either, as it was scheduled to be right the next day, so I just had to go to ammo's house and spend the night there. We didn't get enough to see each other :( butttt Alhamdullilah atleast I GOT to see her. I go all the way back home and I have forgotten my book, my toothbrush, my tooth paste, my ring..I broke my purse's zipper..loool all that in one night. I wonder how I would do in a one-month trip lol.

It was an amazing trip. I loved it. I loved it. I loved it.

What an awesome day to spend my b-day on. I didn't tell her that it was my b-day today (past Saturday) muhahahahahaha. But it was all good Alhamdullilah.

ahhhhhhhhh...now I am relieved....Thanks all for your duaas :).

w000t!!

If a train is approaching or the signal lights near the track are flashing, you must stop no closer than:
1) 5 m from the nearest rail
2) 10 m from the nearest rail
3) 15 m from the nearest rail
4) 20 m from the nearest rail

A driver convicted of failing to stop for the school bus when required can be fined...
1) $ 50 to $100 and lose 3 demerit points for first offense
2) $400 to $2000 and lose 6 demerit points for the first offense.
3) $90 and lose 2 demerit points for first offense.
4) $75 and lose 4 demerit points for first offense.

I PASSED!!!! I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST!! woohoo :D

Pheww..A load on my shoulders. Alhamdullilah I am done with it. Got 18/20 on the rules section and 19/20 on the signs part. Endless days and nights of cut-off studying for this damn test...finally done it and got over with it.

oh and btw, that's just the written/theoretical test; the practical one will be done 20 years from now :P j/k. Sooner than that.

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

Ok so yeah as you may have noticed already, my blog has gone a li'l "weird". I got tired and bored from my old template. I like to change. But the problem is I don't know where the banner is :'( . It's B E A U T I F U L . Click on the pic below for a clearer view:
The background is lighter though...sooo, this will be just a temporary one; as I will give it sometime to "adjust" itself if it needs to. LOL. I don't think that'll work, but we got nothing to lose.

Anyway, nothing lately happening much...more than a friend of mine got married those two recent months (including my cousin). Those must be the "matrimonial" months of the year. Guests coming in..guests coming out. ah..I am also "still" having this dialogue with the sunni friend of mine via email. And to be honest, we have not yet moved on to any other topic save the beginning part and ever since we got into "intercession" we never got out of it. Though, the topic is branching off somewhat... But it's really getting frustrating.

worship..worship..bidaaa bidaa...shirk...*rolllll eyes* I am fed up with it honestly. I think all sunnis are like my friend. Salafi influenced. I feel so sorry for them. I mean not even logic works with them!!!LOGIC and reasoning ya Allah!! How on earth can a "fallible" human being who is prone to making mistakes be promised paradise? Can the mind even comprehend that? (concerning the hadith with the promised Ten) That's just one example out of a million other..akhhhhhh...

May Allah guide her on this Umrah journey she's experiencing for the first time, and may Allah grant us the opportunity to visit this majestic sight someday insh'Allah.
