Fruit Cake...

So I went to work to day.. at the pharm.. work is always interesting or whack. We had our work party on Sunday... at Boston Pizza... was aite... ate wayyy too much. But the veggie Lasagne i got was pretty good... tanx Shazo! I still didn't get anything from my secret santosh.. :( but Agheta (my boss) gave me a gift card for Future Shop! She's wayyyy too nice...

Yeah, so I get there... and tons of food... around xmas time there is always tons of food, our customers love us and bring lots of chocolate and stuff... mmmm.. anywho, Allan aka Hitler (if I've ever talked bout him... you know what i mean) tells us all to try his "fruit" cake that he made. At first, I wasn't going to try it... bc he said he'd made it (I confirmed this with him like 4 times: Allan, did YOU make it yourself... seriously!?!) ...but my munchies got to me as I was managing the order. And so I decided to try a piece.. and it was REALLY good. Like better than store-bought! So, I told him that it was really that good... then my other Pharmacist, Agheta... goes that after a piece she was tipsy... and i was like haha... then :S .. confused actually... and i was like, what do you mean tipsy? Is there alcohol in there? And Allan goes, yeah a tablespoon or something of Brandy... and i was like AHHHHHHHHHH!! I shoulda known better... anything Allan makes must have some alcohol or something whack in it... moral of the story: don't trust big brown guys named Allan.

Oh yeah, and some bacha told me i had nice eyes... i think he jus wanted his prescription sooner!

Happy Berday Rooooohiiiiii!

Roohi at the Dholki... man that seems like ages ago... I loved your suit man.. and the set.. you so girlyyyyy... sometimes!Roohi & Sahar.. at the Nikkah... Mash'Allah both look gorgeous! I told you that suit would look amazing, Roo! You should listen to me more often :P

L'il old Roohi is FINALLY 22... been waiting a longggg time for this day... mostly, because she's been calling me a buddi.. since i turned 22... you know Roohi, 22 is when a lot of rishtas come... haha.. May Allah bless you with a husband this year, insh'Allah.. AMEEN! (a pun.. for you!)

Me and Roo (aka KangaRoohi aka Roohsta aka Roohinder aka Loohi, and I'm sure there's more) go wayyy back to 1st year Forensics Class... man that class was killer... but alhumdalillah I found an amazing friend. Awwww... getting mushy. Thanks for being my gym buddy... we SO gotta start that up again in January inshAllah!! We've had some great convo's at the gym... haha. You're the one who got me started on that flavoured Aquafina water. Way too many great things about you... mash'Allah. Much Love!

Rebuilding South Asia: Light of Hope Fundraising Gala

Insh'Allah this should be an amazing event... and if last year's dinner is any indication, only bigger and better things are to come this year. I really wanted to go last year, but my parents were coming back from Hajj the following day... so we had some madd cleaning and decorating to do. But I heard nothing but great things... organizer of events tend to do that.. haha kidding.. a lot of my friends attended last year. I will definitely be there this year, insh'Allah. I never know what to wear to these type of formal events... apparently something desi, which is cool with me because then i can bust out my chooriyan! I think i have a million now..ever since Pakistan.

And, I almost forgot to mention that PREACHER MOSS will be hosting! If you've ever seen him perform (MuslimFest 2005, "Allah Made Me Funny" Tour)... you know he is hilarious and definitely worth checking out. Besides, I'll be there... don't wanna miss that! :)

AZHAR USMAN has jus been added to the list of performers! See Biharis are good for something after all... haha.. jus kiddin. And finally some new material... insh'Allah!

If you need tix or any info let me know... or check out: www.one-ummah.com

I think i have frostbite.. :S

Ahhhh.. my ears are hurting! I guess that's what i get for not wearing a hat... but its not completely my fault.. i didn't think I'd hafta walk a mile to school in snow.. blowing snow... haha sound like I'm a granny recollecting my school days!

That's it... i am getting the biggest, fobbiest hat ... as long as it keeps me warm man! Maybe I'll get that lumberjack hat... u know the one with the flaps that cover the ears :D hope its cool this year... so i dont get called a lumberjack for wearing it.

And so i finally get to the North Building... and i run into Tim Horton's... and they don't have English Toffee!!

Anywho, I'm at school to study and photocopy some chapters... yeah last minute... but atleast I didnt hafto buy it! Psych textbooks are ridiculously expensive and they're all half courses... so whatever man... and one of my good friends from 1st yr is moving back home (Jordan) permanently!!!.. leaving on Thursday... so we're having lunch today. I couldn't believe it when I heard... like we were literally fighting about it... I was like "STOP LYING!"... i still can't believe it. And i guess this is just the beginning of friends moving away... or back home... whether it be because they get married or graduate or for a job... after all, one day it'll be me.

Best of luck Hamoooodeh aka Korean... we had some great times!! We'll miss you... you'd better be back soon!

Happy Bday Sahar!

It was my dear Bhabi aka Bobbi's bday on Saturday! I wonder what my bro got for her... he isn't really a bday type person... Anywho, finally she is older than me... now Aunties can't be like "shadi karro .. dekho Bhabi bhi tho same age hai!".. now she is officially one yr older :)

She is one hard person to shop for man.. mash'Allah guy... she has 2 of everything you could ever think of. So i got her some flowers... they were really pretty... and my Dad was really into getting a cake and stuff for her... awwww... Papa so cute. Then later we headed over to her Khala's place... dinner was AMAZINGGG!! Sahar's fave... chicken wings.. and a ton of other delicious things...

(Yeah i know only 11 candles.. i didn't wanna fill the cake with candles.. then she might feel old... )

Shabana Baji, me and Toobi... the coordination of colour was PURELY coincidental! Ammi was the only one not matching us...


The Sheikh Bacha Party: Hammad, Tooba & Iyad.. posing in front of the Head Table on the men's side.


Tooba & I on stage as I did my speech... surprisingly Ammi didn't beat me after hearing that skit part of my speech... haha.. i guess she realized how true the scenario actually was.

The Table of wedding pics of Aunty & Uncle, the newlyweds & my parents...looked amazingggggg... too bad we forgot the guest book :(

Sahar & I... awwwww sho cute! AND my eyes are open... woo hoo!

Finally, the newlyweds grand exit... whilst the throwing of the rose petals.

Mash'Allah, Mash'Allah.. everything turned out great... the food, weather, speeches, the programme... had some issues with the sound system... but Alhumdalillah... the night was amazing. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves! I think I'm gonna go hibernate now...

Happy Berday Maddy-ha!!

Madihah & Mou, Maddy's cousin... man, I cannot believe they aren't sisters, let alone not even first cousins.. the resemblance is uncanny! Both gorgeous, Mash'Allah!

Me and Shabinaaaaaaaa... awwww man, I'm gonna miss her ... Pickering is bohot far...


Dinner at Singapore Gardens was sooooo much fun! I was soooo accident-prone that night... i spilled like half of the szechuan chicken on the table... but in my defence the plate was too hot. Hope you had fun too Madihah! Much Love my dear...

By Popular Demand.. more Nikkah pics!!!

Ammi & I right after we made our Baraat entrance. Ammi looked tres HOT, mash'Allah!


Sahar & her sis, Naila as she made her entrance at the Nikkah ceremony.


Bro & Bhabi cutting the cake!



Sahar feeding my bro... she looks sooo embarassed.. or maybe that's just her blush.



My cutie, Iyad... in his super-stylish, pint-size sherwani... posing for a lil-post-wedding picture. He was the 'Shevalla' aka mini-Dulha.. although Azfar did a great job lookin like the Dulha... you shoulda seen his matching shoes... good thing he didn't wear his kulla... then it woulda been overrrrr.
