Sami Yusuf

Ok..I've heard of him. I've heard 1 of his song.  I've seen Habibi Liah & Aneesha rave about their interests in his songs (that Liah is into him, thanks to sis Anishar)... but I had no clue until NOW that he's this good looking!!!!  Had I known, I'd also have been into him! Hehehe... kidding!  Knowing how he looks came as a pleasant surprise (I honestly thought he was some Bolly star .. I was asking my uncle, when I saw one his portrait, "Is that Akshay Kumar? Or was that Zayed Khan?!" ... when he said "Sami Yusuf" ... I fell from my chair!  Oh well .. enuf enuf .. she's already a craze among so many Muslim girls I know.  So fat hope. 

Home front, trying to overcome my bitterness & forget it (though can nvr forgive!) ... trying to move on in life ... by doing things I nvr thought I should, would or could do!!  Oh, Humpty Granny had a fall on Sunday morning, and everyone acceded to her stubborness of not going to the hospital although she's in pain.  Finally, we were informed today (ya, sadly, everyone knew, except my family who was informed only today!)..and when Mom went to see, her hand was like blueblack till the elbow.  Pretty sure there could be a fracture.  True enuf, drag her to hospital, and her hand is now in a cast!!! *sigh*  Sad.  I hope she recovers soon.  I hope situation @ home subsides too, coz Mom went amok over the fact that she wasn't informed earlier when everyone else knew!!!  I hate it when she makes a mountain out of a molehill over such situations.  As though she's so perfect she doesn't make such mistakes of hiding things from people!!!  Oh well...

Office front ... got a bad news!  My senior manager (who was on maternity & due to come back on 28 Nov) has decided to come back nxt wk!!! There goes my freedom & peace!  Think she probably heard abt how we've been bullied (that now chocolate has been dumped on me all)..so she's coming back to fight!  Ok, looking on the brighter side, gd also she's coming back...coz only she can fight the case!!

Other than that .. well, today I completed Juz 28 of the Quran..which means I'm just 2 days (insyallah) away from achieving my long-time dream of completing the Quran once in my lifetime! 

Ya ya..I'm 29..what a shame, u may say..but it's not by choice ok.  I've been deprived of that education since young (started, but nvr got to complete after stopping it mid-way @ age 8).  While I used to only memorise the Surahs (verses)..as I age, I realise my brain capacity decreases and it gets stressful, I can't possibly memorise 30 Chapters of the Quran!  I bought CD-ROM, but it's not the same w/o a Guru.  Tried to learn from Mom (who has completed the Quran few times), but she was too impatient with my inquisitiveness.  Then I appointed Granny to stay with us & coach me (and Dad wanted to join too)..but after 2 wks, Granny had to move back to aunt's place so there u go...once agn, I'm left alone!  With her, she motivated me, she made me feel that I wasn't stupid.  Thus, I was determined to achieve that dream.  3 years ago, I found a path (which was laid by Allah) and followed it in pursuit of that dream.  Since then I was able to read the Quran comfortably enough to be able to read on my own...and that's how the trend of trying to complete it in the 30 days of Ramadhan started...year after year.
