Yayyyyyyy my Ammi & Papa are coming back tomorrow (InshAllah)!!!!
Just finished cleaning up the place... it's amazing how dirty the house can get even when no one is home more than half the day and how many dishes and spoons and glasses we went through in a week... yeah the sink we overflowing with dishes... and lucky me had to do the dishes.
BUT who cares... my parents are coming home.. woo hoo! I didn't think I'd miss them sooo much but yeahh I'm soo excited to see them.... especially my Dad's "new" hairdo .. well more like lack thereof... should be interesting. AND we decorated the place... and i realized that we haven't decorated the house in like forever... like when we were kids and we had birthday parties... it took us forever to figure out how to decorate the place without makin it look tacky... and i think we... as in ME.. did a pretty awesome job! But for some reason.. the balloons are giving off an odd smell... so i sprayed them with some air freshener that smells like apples... so they smell good now... Ohh yeah.. problem solver!
Now jus one thing left to figure out... what to do for food when we come home... I think Singapore sounds good!
So InshAllah they should be reaching the Airport around 3:00 pm... the airport is gonna be crazayyyy.... full of giddy mooslams.. hugging any and everyone that comes out... and we'll be sure to catch it all on wideo :) Definitely an amazing day ahead of us.

Monday night...
After the magnificent feast/iftaar at EPUS, I headed to Square One with the brothers for some EID shopping. [Yayyy Eid is coming up!].. ooh let me rephrase that.. I went with MY brothers! :D
And it ended up being a fun trip.. for once. That would be because they actually listened to my opinion.. yepp I am the ishtylin' one in the family...as if u didn't already know. The funniest thing happened... i think we were in Old Navy or GAP.. and the guys were looking at some sweaters... and there was this Roots hat sitting there... my older bro picked it up and was like this is the type of hat Azfar should wear (instead of kufi) and then i was like how strange that there's a roots hat in here, someone must've forgotten it there... my bro almost put it on Azfar's head... Azfar moved bc he didnt wanna wear some other guys hat... literally 3 seconds later [there was this big brown guy trying on something in front of us] we turned around to leave.. and that guy was wearing it! It was his hat... we all couldn't stop laughing.. imagine Azfar had been wearing it!! Yeah so the guys actually ended up getting some clothes... and things I approved of... my older bro got this really nice shirt... its sooo nice... something he wouldn't normally wear.. but i was like u always wear the same colors, the same design clothes... so he went and tried on this baby blue shirt.. and ended up liking it.
Later, i headed over to Hina's house... she is awesome... i had mentioned to her sometime ago that I love this Indian (she's Indian too) dish, Pav Bhaji... and that's what she had made for dinner.. I was like awwwwwww... and it was totally Calcutta style too.. memoriessss... then we ended up watching Kal Ho Naa Ho... my fave movie... and I dont even know when we went to sleep.. it must've been like 5:00! Poor girl, she didn't get much sleep... she had to drop her Mom to the GO(at) station at 8 and then didnt end up sleeping afterwards... so I'd better run and help her out with lunch...

Is Roohi valid?
Roohi... means heart, spirit, soul, love, life... BUT according to Sh. Adam Essa, Roohi is not a proper name! 'Roohi' is what a husband/wife should call each other as a term of endearment... so what I'm saying is... isn't Roohi ahead of the game then?? Well now she needs a Hubby ... anybody know any guys named Ameen? :P
We love u jus the way u are... identity-less and all :)
Do YOU have ADHD?
Jus in case ur wondering, ADHD = Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder :)
And Shazia has SEVERE ADHD... didn't see that one coming.... hehe..
Let's see what i get on this "reliable" web test... man this assessment is depressing... woo hoo.. I have Mild ADHD... I'm normal!
I suggest u all check it out...

Why do they all look the same?
Okay, so I met this girl yesterday who wanted to buy my Social Psych book... we exchanged numbers and whatever... and so we decided to meet this morning around 9 before her class in front of the Library. Ofcourse i get there at 8:59... right in the nick of time. Okay... it's pretty high traffic in the school around that time... and yeah i forgot to mention she is Oriental/Asian... whatever... and I couldn't for the life of me remember what she looked like! So i called her... she didn't pick up... i was like oh great! So i decided to wait... hoping she would find me instead.. and then I thought maybe if I saw her I would be able to recognize her... but they all looked the same or similar enough... and i kept thinkin every other girl was her :S Needless to say... i still have the book...

And they're finally off....
Alhumdalillah, yesterday my parents and the Jawaids' left for Hajj!! Even though we had that extra week with our parents... in the end it didn't seem like enough time.. I guess it's never enough... but luckily all of 3 of us were able to see them off. It's hard seeing your parents get emotional... but they are headed on the journey of a lifetime, so it's all good!
Right now, they are in Athens ... and inshAllah they should reach Jeddah late tonight. What a relief... and man I really miss them now. So yesterday, instead of moping around the house, wasting my time.. I decided to go to school to my 6:00 class... aren't ya proud? I made a good decision all on my own. And it turns out that i have no structure in my life without them... I woke up at 12:30 today.. and then didn't know what to do! So here I am on the good ol' blog. Then work in a coupla hours.

My parents are leaving Saturday insh'Allah... man it's been a confusing week! They were supposed to have left on Monday... then it got postponed to Thursday or Friday.. then yesterday at 7:oo my parents called to tell me they're leaving Thursday.. so i did some crazy last minute essential shopping for them.. THEN the Hajj group guys called saying couldn't get confirmed seats for Thurs... and NOW finally insh'Allah they are going to be leaving on Saturday.
Mmmm.. we had Sindhi biryani today... was really good... maybe even better than Hydro biryani.. but u know what the best biryani is?? Bombay Biryani!

Back in School... great
Man that was the shortest winter break EVER... 12 flippin' days! Flew by like a flash... and now back to school... arrrghhhh. Back to studying... back to work... back to commuting.. I had the WORST day getting to school today!!... back to sitting thru long lectures... back to the routine I guess.
Back to my story... so i went to catch the schupid Brampton bus ... and I left my house early just in case it came early and all.. I left the house at 2:15; the bus was supposed to get there at 2:19... so i get there... and it was pretty chilly today... and I waited .. waited... 15 minutes pass... and i think to myself "I missed the bus... great.."... so i decide to call the transit ppl.. and ask them if i missed the bus or whatever... and she goes.. no no it should be coming any minute... so i was like "Wheeeww... i just might make it to class on time." 10 minutes pass again... by now i was jus glad that i had decided to wear my gloves today.... the bus didnt come for another 10 minutes... by then i had an hour to get to school and yeahh that wasn't happening.. so i get to school 45 minutes late for my class... so yeah didn't bother going... then i ran into my lil brother in the library... sat and talked to him for a bit. Then... the good part of... NO GREAT part of my day happened.. I ran into Khadeeja :D Yayyyyyy... and we caught up and talked... i love you man! We should hook up more often! Then i had to run to class.. this one i made sure not to skip.. and i ran into Gurpreet aka GP too... woo hoo she's in my Psych class. She will keep life interesting... thats for sure... so the rest of the day was pretty goood... and then i ran into my best friend from High School Deepthi on MSN... hadn't talked to her in like 2 months...
Tomorrow i have one class.. a one hour class... then work in the evening... awwwwwwww.... just 2 more days until my parents leave.... :( I think I'll go spend some time with them .. Later y'all!
