Hello everyone! :D
Like I said to you all I would make a special Ramadan Diary everyday but because there was too many things happening and I didn't write a daily post however I won't make he same mistake with this post. So lets get started with this before I delay it any longer :P
What is Ramadan?
Ok so as you know during the moth of Ramadan Muslims fast for the whole day eating before dawn and breaking their fast during the sunset. It is done to help become less greedy and build good characteristics. It's also to support those in need by paying your zakat (a certain amount of money spent on charity). It helps Muslims to understand the sufferings of the poor and how to survive.
Also during this blessed month Muslims become awarded with good deeds two folds then in any other month. During the fast Muslims are not to drink or eat anything for the rest of the day until sunset and to pray to their Lord and recite the Qur'an. This will help them in this life and the afterlife.
~~~~~
Ok so now that we got the basics out of the way let just say how my day went. Firstly it's the first day of Ramadan so it's bound to be difficult but every individual struggles one way or another right? Honestly I felt that my day was actually pretty ok with a little struggle here and there. Honestly saying I think it went really fast, only because of the things I helped out with such as the cooking and preparation of Iftar (The name given to when we break our fast). I also helped out with the preparation of Sehri (the name given to when we eat before the sun rises), I would just reheat everything and then put the plates down and wake everyone up for Sehri. Which is very nice because we all eat together and share a few stories and comments here and there.
Anyways in the we pray our Isha Salah (the name of the last Salah (prayer) of the day) and do 20 Rakat (each Rakah is the completion of standing up in the Salah prostrating and standing up again) So you can imagine how long it but its a blessing to be able to do all of it as you are always rewarded one way or another.
Anyways that marks the end of the first day of Ramadan and this post on Ramadan Diary I shall post the rest of the days next :) Salam for now and take care and be positive xoxox

Ramadan Diary Day 2 (Thursday 11th July 2013)
Hello everyone! ;)
Ok so this was the second day of Ramadan and honestly saying I felt hungry. Firstly, during Sehri time I prepared the food again around 2:10ish so everyone can come and eat, of course I didn't go sleep and then wake up for Sehri because there wouldn't be any point in doing so.
Anyways after Sehri, I prayed and then went to sleep, this time around I felt hungry and felt the day being long but I made sure to keep myself busy which is why I was working on my other blog (note the mega post update) which was dragging by the day.
However other than that I did call up my uni and asked them if I can have an appointment with a careers guidance councilor on Monday and they gave me an appointment for Thursday 11th July (Today) so I went in and I spoke to her about by situation in terms of employment. I did mention that I applied for the graduate internship - For those who don't know, it's scheme for graduates who are unemployed to support them looking for a job through internship vacancies and you get to do paid training and most likely end up with a job in that sector. I told her that I applied to it on Monday (or Tuesday I think) and told her that I am still waiting to hear back from them.
At the end of this meeting she told me that she will speak to her colleague who is in charge of the graduate interns and recommend me!! :D What a booster to getting a chance at the internship. I really thought that was nice of her and she told me that I made a positive impression on her especially if I can get past the application process and I'm able to get an interview. She really boosted my confidence! So now I'm hoping that I get accepted onto the internship scheme! :D
Anyways after I came back I was pretty relaxed as most of the I was pretty tired but happy!! At home there wasn't much for me to do in terms of helping out so I starting to read the Qur'an - my target is to finish the whole thing in Ramadan!! I hope I do though because I really want to.
Time flew by and then it came to Iftar and I must admit this was the most satisfying and fulfilling meal I ever had. It was all thanks to my younger sister who carefully made the whole meal and it turned out fantastic! MashaAllah!! :D We all took pictures of it too so don't worry I will share it with you:
So filling and I ate the whole thing and my mum's half burger because she didn't want it and my little bro wanted half so I gave it to him and had the other half. However I didn't have one thing from this big meal and it was just 1 kebab.
Normally during Ramadan it's not a must to have a feast like this, but occasionally it's nice to eat something like this, so it was really nice :)
Anyways that was pretty much the end of that day :D Take care and think positive :D xoxox

Mega update finally!! Monthly special and more!! :D
Hey everyone!! :D
WARNING: Going to be a very VERY long post! Also this is the first post where I am posting a picture of myself :D Monthly special or what lol :P
Ok I know it's been a long time since I've posted but it's only because there's a lot of things that's been happening for the past few weeks (hence the title). I always want to write about it but I ended up procrastinating so I thought I need to write it either now or never. I also did say that I would try to write everyday so I will definitely try again...so...I wanted to apologise big time - I'm really really sorry!!! However I have A LOT to share and make up for it!! :) So first lets make a list of things to discuss in this blog:
1) My Creative crafts Special & Monthly Special
2) Summer Fete
3) Employment Stuff
4) Updates
~~~ Creative Craft Special ~~~
Ok as you all know I talked about something special that would happen that's related to crafts well here it is! Basically let me start off from Saturday 22nd June. That week I was speaking to someone in my local community about running a workshop, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts that I registered to this time bank system in my local community (check out my post entitled: Morning breakfast Yummy! :) ); well from that I've finally been able to give something back which is.....JEWELLERY MAKING!!! Oh yeah!!! Well honestly there was going to be more - like polymer clay works - but my pitch (lets call it) was half successful...so they decided to start it off with a jewellery making workshop and if it is very successful then I can start working with polymer clay in the future - when they have more funds of course.
So anyway lets get back to Saturday 22nd June, I started watching some Youtube videos on basic jewellery making and found one that's really simple and great!!! :D I watched it once and I know how to make it :) it was the perfect way to start off with something simple. Because on Friday 21st June I spoke to the person in my community centre and she told me that I have a budget of £50 which is a really GREAT start for the workshop. So anyways I spoke to a girl that is also doing some time sharing stuff and told her if she wouldn't mind coming to Oxford street with me and have a look at a craft shop that my friend told me about, fortunately she said yes and we arranged to meet on Monday at 10:30am so we don't get caught in any rush hour.
However before that day let me just squeeze in my monthly special (well the creative craft is the extra part in here). On Satuday 22nd June I finally met up with my Undergraduate friends and we went to Nando's to eat. Of course it was just us girls - with one left over!! I really missed my other friend who wasn't there :( Well anyways I meet with my friends and it just made me think that after nearly 1 year we all have changed. For instance now my friend has a 6 month baby boy soo cute he loves my toy (yay) I was happy when I saw him playing with it. He was also really well behaved when I was feeding him, he was soo cute but then he realises that his mum is not around and then starts to cry. My other friend just finished her degree and is sorted and lastly my other friend got married and I wasn't able to go to her wedding because we lost contact somehow :( but the good thing is that we are in contact again :D
The meal was very nice and we all enjoyed it so much!! It felt great going and meeting my friends after such a long time. But it also made me think about my position. I felt like I was in a standstill not going anywhere after dropping the PGCE Primary. Honestly saying I felt I wasn't going anywhere with my life but I didn't feel upset by their achievements or success but just feel a little regretful for not continuing with my programme. However all things happen for a reason right?
Here's some pictures of the event I'd like to share with you guys:
This is a picture of Kirsty and Damien together - So sweet!! Really made me want a baby Oh and that's the toy that I got for him! See? I told you he loves it!! :D
This is picture of Me, Kirsty, Roseanne and of course Baby Damien all in one at Nando's!! :D
That's a picture of me and Roseanne, who I haven't seen in a long time! It was really nice seeing her again!! :D
Oh this was a gift from my friend Kirsty, It's an American sweet that's available now in UK! It's really nice!! Makes you really thirsty but sooo goooood!!! :D Thanks Kirsty!! :)
~~~Back to creative craft special~~~
Well anyways that was my Saturday which then lead to me looking at jewellery videos on YouTube later that evening hence where I found myself the perfect video.
Then Monday 24th June 2013 came and I met up with the girl I said I would meet up with for the little journey to Oxford Street. We met at Mile End station and here is where the problem started. My friend told me that the craft shop HobbyCraft does not exist in Oxford Street to which I then told her that my other friend told me on Facebook she said that there isn't any and I had to make the decision of either not going to Oxford Street or to forget about it - I decided to head to Oxford Street regardless and hopefully find any other crafty type shops for jewellery making.
It's a good thing I said yes because we in fact found really good stores for the jewellery making and found that they would give a lot of stuff I found this really great beading shop calling beads creative craft (or something like that) and it was great!! It was not only a wholesaler but a retailer so we managed to get some good stuff and ended up getting some great stuff from it.I bought some beads, chains, jump rings, head pins and so on. I was happy I felt that I bought a lot of stuff and that this was actually happening, that thought made me feel a little scared - I guess you can say my self esteem was being shaken.
Anyways all this good stuff came afterwards. By that I mean that when we did arrive we checked online to find out if there was HobbyCraft and found out that there actually wasn't a HobbyCraft there and I misunderstood because I checked on my Facebook and my friend actually meant Oxford!! :O Really really far!! Thus began our journey through the different other stores where the results were great.
After we got back I went to my local community centre (I just realised that I never mentioned what the name of it is - It's called Bromley By Bow Centre) and spoke to Rose - who is in charge of the Time Bank as is another girl named Hajirah - I told her if it was ok for me to take the stuff home so I could make a bracelet for demonstration and said yes.
So when I went home with the stuff I was really happy but then in the next couple of days I was losing confidence to start on the bracelet, if your thinking why....I was thinking the same thing and then I thought there's no point in delaying it because I need to present them something on Thursday so then on Wednesday 26th June in the night I made myself a bracelet and the result is below:
This is the bracelet that I made! :) What do you guys think? This bracelet also became my big sisters birthday present because it was her birthday on Monday I forgot to get her something. She liked it which was nice :) There's seven beads on this representing each of us siblings :)
The next day the jewellery making workshop taster day was a success!! There was a great turn out and although there wasn't enough pliers going around but it still worked out and then I had a number of people sign up for the next session on Thursday. Oh I forgot to mention the session was held on the coffee session that the time bank provide!! :) Anyways at the end of it all it worked out perfectly!! A couple of days later I got a call from them telling me that I can't do the workshop during the coffee session because obviously it's their coffee session so I thought ok, I can do another day or time and so we arranged it at 3-4:30pm every Thursday!! How cool is that!! I had my second session on Thursday 4th of July and it was a great success I was so happy of the end result where EVERYONE made themselves a bracelet!! and to top it off I did too!!
After doing the first bracelet the second one became even easier! Now all I have to do is order for the next session and I'm officially a businesswomen!! :) Well sort of lol
~~~Summer Fete~~~
Ok this is something that's been happening every year at the back of my house!! They always have a fete, kind of like a garage sale but in a more festive and community base way! It was great fun!! I went with my mum to check out the things and we found some very great stuff. I wore my creamish brown coloured scarf that my big bro bought when he went for Saudi Arabia!! Here's a picture of it:
Nice right? I really like it hence the smile :P Just realised this is the first post where I am posting a picture of myself! :D
The event was always very festive and it happens every summer!!! Anyways here's some more pictures have look at them hopefully you can tell the festivities that I mean:
From the fruit of all this browsing the results where very great as well we bought many things for me and my sisters:
These were for my sister, starting with the youngest: My mum truly shows her love for her when we go shopping - we bought her the colourful hairbands, the 50p floral bracelet and the Sundae desert necklace (which we bought from my neighbor). For my younger sister we bought her the chain heart necklace with the first letter of her name on it - and fortunately she loved it! (Honestly, it's very hard to shop for an ex tomboy lol) and lastly for my big sister I bought her the bracelet on the far left which she loved.
As for myself I bought:
Some lovely Chains and a Selwar Kameez (For those who don't know a Selwar Kameez is a Traditional Asian clothing worn at home or on special occasions depending on the type of Selwar Kameez it is)
For my mum she just loved the food and didn't really liked anything for herself, as for my brother there wasn't anything for them so we couldn't get it unfortunately.
~~~Employment Stuff~~~
Ok during the summer fete I spoke to a lady who said that her daughter ran her own beauty salon I asked if she was hiring and told her I make jewellery she told me that she would definitely call me!! So I'm looking forward to that...but when the day came she didn't call I tried calling back but it was unavailable and I tried the post code it didn't work and it still didn't work so I gave up on that I thought it was dodgy...so in ther end I started applying to many other jobs still waiting to hear from them!! Hopefully I'l get some good news!! :D
~~~Updates~~~
Ok the final thing to mention is that I had an Idea that since it is a Ramadan that I would make like a Ramadan Diary letting everyone know what it's like for the Muslims on this blessed month!! :D So as soon as I post this I would make a start because it's nearly becoming the 5th Ramadan already and I haven't even made a start on it!!
Wow finally made it through and got to the point where I can start blogging regularly...I swear I won't pile it up like this ever again.
Anyways hope you all enjoyed this long post and thanks to those who read it all the way, until next time take care and stay positive!! xxx

Just a quick update
Hello everyone!! :D
Ok so I just wanted to update everyone on what's been happening with me for the past few days. Nothing extraordinary don't worry just a very plain and boring life as usual. Before anything just want to quote the time and date of this post: it's exactly 12:55am and its on Monday 17th June 2013. There's no significant reason why I said that I just wanted to be specific lo.
Ok so lets start by telling you all what happened after showing you my study area. That tissue box next to it was like a best friend to my nose. As you know I was ill of course that's how things are and the best way to go about it is to not give up and to challenge myself to the top! (Well to the best of my abilities). So I did and the result was the chemistry exam the next day.
It was good! I found that the test went well and I was about to answer all the questions most of which was answered confidently. After that exam my friends were kind of happy because it as the last exam and they were so relieved! I on the other hand had one more exam to go through which was the physics retake.
They all supported me and we also planned on meeting up for a meal out! Which of course I'm looking forward to! I think it might be during results day or something but we'll see what happens :)
Ok so the next few days I was revising for my Physics exam that was on Thursday that week! While being still ill it was kind of hard to concentrate but honestly saying I tried my best! Anyway the day finally came and I must admit the revision for the those days came in handy because all I did was revise from the Youtuber online (who was SOOOOO useful!!) which then came in handy for the exam.
Well during the exam I did the same thing that I did last time which was that I spent too much time on one question and I didn't finish the paper!! :O even though that happened I actually answered the questions that were worth more marks pretty confidently but I don't know if would be a pass. Now I'll have to wait until results but I'm ok with that actually. Whatever the result is it was just meant to be.
Ok after my exam I went to my community centre because I needed to get some support for a TA job. Honestly saying I'd rather take the support then not do anything about it. Great thing is that I was able to finish the application on time because the deadline for it was the next day (Friday 14th June) when I went to hand it in I ended up going on a hike! Seriously the way my parents word things! The primary school I applied for was close by to my house - by bus - but every time my parents said it was close by they wasn't specific and also my advisor did the same thing - the guy made me walk for such a long time I mean I love walking but be a little more specific people.
So anyway I ended up walking all the way to the primary school and then I dropped my application feeling all satisfied and relieved that I applied to at least one TA job oh I but I don't walk back home I bus back home :) I was such a dits that I didn't even realise that near the school there is a bus stop - the advisor gave me a map to get there so I really should have looked carefully - but people learn from their mistake right.
Anyways the next day I get a phone call (at 9:38am in the morning) from my employment advisor - telling me that I left a part of the application form in the centre?! :O so I panicked and asked which part was left he said the declaration part which wasn't such a big deal but still was - if you know what I mean - he then asks me what do I want to do and the I say to email it to me so I can just send that part over, he then tells me that he will call me back later after having reluctantly rejecting my idea. Call me back around 10ish and asks me what I want to do with I told him again to email me and then he says well you have until noon to give it - basically pushing me to say yes that I will go and take it there - which honest thinking made me thought it was a good idea because it showed that I was dedicated. So I got up got dressed and went to hand in the applications - great thing was I got there in less than 10mins with the bus (oh yeah!! A lesson se learned ;)) - I managed to the there for about 11:10am and told then the situation I gave the envelope and felt that it was taken care of which it was. But my advisor didn't really seem all that happy about it, but he did apologise for the situation and I think because of the guilt even found me 6 other TA jobs afterwards . I'm gonna go in on Monday (technically today) and have a look at he posts and then print off the application and apply to them there.
Oh the application situation that came about was because they I wanted to have a copy of my application and the person who was told to do so left a part of the application.
Oh and oneself thing:
Bad news I spoke to my brother and he told me my laptop is gone for good! :(
Good news is that is I will get a temporary one to cover for now it should've been fixed on Sunday (yesterday) but I guess my bro didn't so hopefully it would be done for tomorrow!!
Oh and one last thing there will be a crafty surprise coming soon!!! :D
Ok guys I just realised how long his has long - didn't expect that lol but I'm done now and it 1:39am and I am off to bed Good night world!! Last last thing I'm healthy again!! :D Oh there is a few more news but I'll tell you all tomorrow! Bye everyone take care and as usual stay positive xoxox
Ok so I just wanted to update everyone on what's been happening with me for the past few days. Nothing extraordinary don't worry just a very plain and boring life as usual. Before anything just want to quote the time and date of this post: it's exactly 12:55am and its on Monday 17th June 2013. There's no significant reason why I said that I just wanted to be specific lo.
Ok so lets start by telling you all what happened after showing you my study area. That tissue box next to it was like a best friend to my nose. As you know I was ill of course that's how things are and the best way to go about it is to not give up and to challenge myself to the top! (Well to the best of my abilities). So I did and the result was the chemistry exam the next day.
It was good! I found that the test went well and I was about to answer all the questions most of which was answered confidently. After that exam my friends were kind of happy because it as the last exam and they were so relieved! I on the other hand had one more exam to go through which was the physics retake.
They all supported me and we also planned on meeting up for a meal out! Which of course I'm looking forward to! I think it might be during results day or something but we'll see what happens :)
Ok so the next few days I was revising for my Physics exam that was on Thursday that week! While being still ill it was kind of hard to concentrate but honestly saying I tried my best! Anyway the day finally came and I must admit the revision for the those days came in handy because all I did was revise from the Youtuber online (who was SOOOOO useful!!) which then came in handy for the exam.
Well during the exam I did the same thing that I did last time which was that I spent too much time on one question and I didn't finish the paper!! :O even though that happened I actually answered the questions that were worth more marks pretty confidently but I don't know if would be a pass. Now I'll have to wait until results but I'm ok with that actually. Whatever the result is it was just meant to be.
Ok after my exam I went to my community centre because I needed to get some support for a TA job. Honestly saying I'd rather take the support then not do anything about it. Great thing is that I was able to finish the application on time because the deadline for it was the next day (Friday 14th June) when I went to hand it in I ended up going on a hike! Seriously the way my parents word things! The primary school I applied for was close by to my house - by bus - but every time my parents said it was close by they wasn't specific and also my advisor did the same thing - the guy made me walk for such a long time I mean I love walking but be a little more specific people.
So anyway I ended up walking all the way to the primary school and then I dropped my application feeling all satisfied and relieved that I applied to at least one TA job oh I but I don't walk back home I bus back home :) I was such a dits that I didn't even realise that near the school there is a bus stop - the advisor gave me a map to get there so I really should have looked carefully - but people learn from their mistake right.

Oh sweet exam!!
Hello everyone!! :D
Well let me tell you how my day went today, from bad to good to kind of bad and also some special news!! :D
1st bad - I woke up at 5:30am because of my nose being blocked!! I was breathing through my mouth which made my mouth and throat so dry, and on top of that I had to blow my nose several times!! Ever since then until 8:30am I have been waking up and going back to bed because of this until I finally gave in on the sleep and got up around then. Still having a heavy nose and not only that my nose block is not on both of my nostrils but on one side when I try to break the blocked nose it effects the pressure in my ears on the sound and I end up hearing more clearly/loudly in one ear than the other. So I really didn't like that so much at which point I started to snapped at my mum who wasn't at fault in any kind of way! I did end up apologising and she so got me the nasal inhaler to help clear my nose - which I must say helps on some level then none.
2nd Good - I was doing a lot of online revision on YouTube - there is this Youtuber who does these amazing revision sessions on the breakdown of the GCSE Science that I'm taking :) It was really useful :D and ill recommend it to ANYONE who is doing their GCSE Science :)
Anyway I left my house quite early to get to college early and I got a chance to see my science teacher and fortunately I was able to get some revision done with my science teacher going over the things that I was struggling with and then my two friends joined me and we all went through the things that we were struggling and it ended becoming and mini revision group with a bonus of having the science teacher :) it was great!
Then came the exam and I must admit I was really happy!! Most of the questions that came up were exactly what I've been revising on and to top it off I answered all the question confidently which only a few that I think I didn't answer correctly but InshaAllah I get a B or an A I'm excited!!!
3rd a little bad - The rest of the day I came home and did no chemistry revision because I wanted take a lot of rest because being ill - which by the way, I forgot to mention was bothering me quite a bit just before the exam but during the exam it was fine :) - when I got home my nose became the problem!! And the fever again!! But I have been resting on my bed more than anything so hopefully I can become healthy again.
### SPECIAL NEWS ### There is something else I want to say but I think I will keep this news to myself until I am definitely sure of it and would announce it then!! So look forward to it!! That time is not too far away ;) ### SPECIAL NEWS ###
Well that's it for now!! As always thanks for viewing my page and also please do comment on any of my posts.
Take care and stay positive ;) xoxox

Well this isn't good....
Hello everyone!! :D
Ok so two days ago I started falling ill....and today I am officially ill I think I have a fever, I have a broken voice and I'm not feeling really well and not only that I have my Biology exam for GCSE tomorrow - OFFICIAL - I can't believe that this is happening....to be honest I am always ill when something important comes up in my life....I'm starting to think is it stress??? But I don't feel stress but then again it could be in my subconscious. Well anyways my body is feeling really weak and I haven't even been able to revise as much as I wanted to...but I'm not giving up at all!! As always I need to make sure that I am optimistic and strong.
My optimistic point of view to this is that it's always a challenge to achieve something but the result makes ones feel like they have accomplished so much more. My challenge (as always) is revising and studying while being ill. I never give up and I won't be any time!! :)
Anyways I hope everyone is doing well until next time (most likely tomorrow after my exam) take care and stay positive xxx
