Najjed

Summary of the day.

• I was woken up by the horrific H. We did seerah upstairs. 
• Went downstairs to eat breakfast and work on lab report. 
• Boom-boom on the door. Kylie arrived. I opened the door for him and he walked into H's room.
• I worked on the lab report all morning with S, and my, was it an amusing experience.
• I finally finished it, and looked for cookie recipes. 
• I settled on a simple sugar cookie recipe.
• S made lunch, Kylie ate with us.
• Jidda began S's facial treatment.
• Ummi asked me if I wanted to walk. I said sure.
• Z came along. It was a tiring walk, and we were out for about an hour. 
• Came back and made cookies.
• Auntie Sal came to take Kylie home. 
• H made dinner.
• Cookies finished.

The end.

Them sugar cookies look wonderful. The last batch consisted of two lovely heart shaped cookies. They flattened out real bad in the oven. Next time, I'm rolling out the dough and using a cookie cutter. Jidda wants to eat my cookies with her tea at the halaqa tonight. I gave her the two heart ones because she wanted them. I told Mar that I was bringing something tonight and she guessed cupcakes. I said no, and then she asked for a hint, and then I gave her some scrambled letters to unscramble. That was an hour ago, and she still hasn't replied. XD

This is what I gave her to unscramble: IKSEGSAROOUC

Does that look tough to you?

A Chance to Do Better

I just read a very amazing quote that I must share.

"Tomorrow is the first blank 

page of a 365 page book. 

Write a good one." 

Brad Paisley

And another one...

It isn't 2014,

it's you.

You have to change,

not the year.

 We Muslims already had our 'New Year.' Haha, you Gregorian calendar people.

A bit harsh, that seemed. 

Tonight at the halaqa, we will discuss backbiting. Ummi wants to bring food. I suggested cookies, because S wanted me to make some for her because she was fasting yesterday. 

Jidda hand-washed all my new clothes [a.k.a. became mejnoon] the whole of yesterday. She wants me to wear baju buruk for the halaqa on Saturday, which is about Jahannam. And for the halaqa after, which is about Jenneh, she wants me to wear something heavenly. {Literally...}

We took a cruise around 'ancient NM' yesterday. [How many 'yesterdays' will appear in this post?'] We passed by some men building what looked like a barn. I waved at them (as play) as we were leaving, and the guy on the roof actually raised his hand in reply. LAWL.

We also visited Abi's abandoned office. Then we went to the masjid. Then Z peed his pantsies with nobody knowin'. Then I made deenar. 

I have to draw a picture for Jidda before she leaves. I have a wonderful idea in mind. I also have to copy & print out my poem about praying in public that I wrote when I was about 9. Jidda wants to bring it home to Malaysia and give it to everybody.

Oh my God, it’s Oh my God!
How did she not know we were there?
My sister was smashed by the door,
You wouldn’t believe it,
Goodness gracious me, she said,
Oh I’m sorry, that’s what she said,
Door was banged on us and then we started to giggle! 
Oh I’m sorry, Oh I am sorry,
Hit by the door
I was soo mad,
My sister was, too!
Suddenly the woman said, “Oh, I’m very sorry!”
Oh I am very sorry! We both laughed at that remark
Right after we finished praying.
Rolling with laughter, laughing uncontrollably
You just wouldn’t believe it!
