Can't Think Of A Title.

Hello there, readers. What have you been up to?
I.........am........extra tired after all the necessary shopping i've been doing. But I had a blast! Got to drive my beloved car! Not long to go until I can drive the car with my son in it! Yaaaayy!!

Doesn't it bug you when mostly EVERYONE is going overseas to attend a wedding and you're stuck here, missing out on seeing your family again, missing out on the food, missing out on the wedding of your close cousin, and missing out on the food?? Doesn't bug you? WELL, IT BUGS THE HELL OUT OF ME!

Both of my parents are going, all of my cousins are going, both of my mum's sisters are going (one is going for Hajj and the other going to Indonesia), and some of us have to stay here because we're just not going, because we're pregnant (no, not me), and because we've got babies to look after (yep, that's me).

This January has many birthdays to look forward to: my son on the 3rd, my hubby on the 5th, my mum's on the 21st, and my little cousin (not so little anymore) on the 26th. But also on the 6th of January my cousin in West Sumatra, Indonesia, inshaAllah is getting hitched and having her wedding over there. That's where mostly everyone is going. The last time that I was @ Indo was in 2002. Yes, I think that's correct. We were there for our uncles' weddings; each one a week apart. We had a ball- from what I remembered. And hopefully, I'll get to visit my family in Indo again. This time with just the 3 of us :)

Hmm......Oh! Have you ever watched this comedian, named David Armand, miming to the song Torn by Natalie Imbruglia?

Well......you're missing out! He's mimed the song on his own, but this time Natalie comes in halfway through the song and eventually mimes along with him. I reckon the best part is when he mimes to the words in the song: "...There's just so many things..." Watch his face! You've just gotta watch it!


See y'all!

..........So, here I am waiting for another episode of Charmed to load up on youtube. You know how I was excited to FINALY watch 1st & 2nd episodes of Charmed Season 8? Well, since that day I've been reminded of one episode of Charmed where Prue was killed by a demon, called Shax. Just by looking at the demon (even though he's fictitious) I know that I'd turn on my heels and run like mad!

Aaaaanyway, even though I've watched these episodes on T.V. I couldn't remember how Piper, Pheobe, and Paige formed the Charmed Ones, again. And so I've decided to start from there. The episode when Prue died, dagnammit, it was sooOoOO emotional toward the end; even I had to cry watching it the second time around. No, I'm not one of those who like watching romantic movies and start crying at them. If there's a moment in a moment in an episode, which somehow can happen to me, then I'd replay the scene in my head, as if it were happening to me, and start the waterworks. Nahhh, no dramas, just a tear or two down the cheek, that's all.

Speaking of devastation. Ever had a dream/nightmare that you've woken up from and cried, cried 'till your body shook? I've had that dream. Well, I interpreted it as a nightmare because it happened to someone who is of the most utmost importance to me. This wasn't recent though. It happened while I was pregnant with Abdurrahman. I vaguely remember it, now that I try to recall. But in the nightmare, I dreamt that a group of people were being held hostage inside a building. And one of them happened to be an important person in my family (I will not say who). All I remember now is; one of the bad guys shot that person dead, and in my sleep I cried while I witnessed the nightmare. I woke up, suddenly crying and shaking, I realised who they shot; and cried some more. I tried putting my head back down underneath the pillow and going back to sleep. Somehow my crying woke my husband up. He was baffled as to why I was crying so heavily; I simply replied with a: "...I had a bad, bad dream...". And with that he comforted me as I tried to sleep again. It was hard to forget about it.

I couldn't.

That wasn't the first time of dreaming someone getting shot. The first time I dreamt someone being shot was me. I remember the scenery so vividly. I was standing in a phone booth outside the streets of my parents' house. I remember looking to my left and seeing someone; their hand outstreched, ready to pull the trigger. They pulled it. I remember lying on the ground feeling the warmth of the wound on the right side of my chest- astonishingly I wasn't panicking, stressed out or anything. Oddly, I didn't react realistically to that dream, didn't cry or anything! Wiiiieerddd dude!

Wow. One story leads to another eh? How strange is that. Anyway, I think the videos are way beyond uploaded! I might as well stay up because Subh is in an hour's time, might as well go all the way. Be safe and have safe dreams readers.

~Peace.

Charmed, I'm Sure.

WHAT UP PEOPLEZ!!

I'm so exxxxciiited! Know why? I'VE FOUND EPISODE 1 OF CHARMED SEASON 8!! WOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!! I don't care it it's nearly 12am, i'm still watching it. I found the first episode (called: "Still Charmed & Kicking") on Youtube and it has 5 parts to it..........wanna watch all 5 parts before I sleep......talk about fanatic! aaaahh!!

And also, I wanted to watch Season 3 of Lost, Episode 1 on youtube. But I had no luck in finding it. I was gonna get my hubby to download it off Torrent (or something) but he's lost in Lost. And this morning I was chatting to Gemz (currently living in Spain, Seville) and she has watched ALL SIX episodes! I was like: "how the heck did you that?!" I tried typing what she typed in the search field, again no luck.

Well, i'm off to watch the first episode of Still Charmed & Kicking- it beats paying $40 on a boxed set.

See ya!

~Peace.

Can't Get More Frustrated Than This.

It's such a pain to do the shopping when you haven't prayed Maghrib yet, and 'Isha is 30-45 minutes away.......arrghh!

Well, that's how I felt tonight. Robz & I had dinner @ Bankstown Centro, we had left our son with Robz' mum because it was cold and not to mention the weather! whoaaa! Subhanallah, it was massively windy mate!

It's wierd when we're halfway through our shopping needs and my mind's somewhere else and my shopping spirit's gone, my legs felt like jello and to make things worse: my jacket sleeves have three buttons in a row and they got stuck in the shelves while I was reaching for a Heinz jar....and then.....*crack*! Yeh, you've probably guessed it. Somehow it fell out of my hands, fell onto the floor, cracked and splattered on the floor. Alhamdulillah, it wasn't a big show; me & my hubby were the only one's in that aisle. Subhanallah.....at that moment I felt my blood pressure drop to the floor! I looked @ Robbie and wondered out loud "Do I have to tell someone?" If I did, I was willing to clean up and pay for it. I felt really bad.
Do you reckon cameras pick up on those sort of stuff? *sigh* Oh well. Oh! Forgot to mention that it happened @ Woolworths.

Aight, Toys 'R' Us are having a sale and we headed there next. I had my eye on this Quicksmart Fold-Away Stroller while I was flipping pages in the catalogue and thought:'hmm.....that'll be a good thing to have in future situations' and so we
purchased it.

Plus, S-26 Progress 2 was on sale for $16.99, usually it's $20; and Huggies wipes, a 240 pack for $9.99- I thought 'Hell yeh! Imma get me some o' that!' But when we got there (it was like 8.30pm and the stock's probably finished anyway) both of those were all finised! BLAST YOU! I had my heart set on those items....then Toys 'R' Us broke my heart. I've fallen in love with the stroller right away after we put Abdurrahman in it- he looked so snug in it, hehehhe. Can't wait to take it for test drive or something.

I'm catching up on the Roswell series which used to be on Optus' Fox 8 back in the day. I got up to Season 2, the 2nd last episode where Alex is killed (apparently killed by Tess, supposedly Max's future wife). And so Deals Direct had a sale on the boxed sets of Roswell Season 1 & 2; so I bought Season 2. Now that I've finally caught up with the show, I'm waiting for the 3rd Season. Luckily I saw a few on eBay, my darling ebay. I'm an eBay junkie, hadn't you realised that??!! LOL!
Roswell Season 3

Another show I really love to watch is Charmed. They've aired Season 8 (the final season of Charmed) in the U.S. already and I'm wondering when we'll get it in Aussie t.v. I reaaaallyyyy hope they air it here. Man, what would I do without ebay??
I searched for Charmed Season 8 and there was only ONE DVD in the whole site! Plus, it's not even in good condition, this is what the seller said about it: "Hi there, the first episode pretty much plays all the way through with a few pauses in it, but then it gets to the second episode and wont play. They sent me a second disc, but it did the exact same thing. The other episodes are fine and I didn't feel I missed too much. Hope that helps. thanks for the interest. Regards block784"
Charmed Season 8
Bummer....guess I'll wait for the next one that comes along.

I guess that's it for now, my legs are dying for a rest. Nothing more to report, Adios!

~Peace.

Word Vomit.

Ahh..Criminal Minds, I love watching crime shows- especially CSI, can't wait for Season 3. I can't describe in words how awesome of a show it is. Sometimes I find myself speechless when I try to express my opinions; I need to attend intelligent discussions of certain issues or lectures- I need to go back to Uni man! I've been deprived of intellectual discussions!

Blogging, for me, is a tough thing if I don't fully concentrate on what I want to convey- it's much like writing poetry. Yuh-huh, I used to write poems. I can't do anything else while i'm blogging; I can't watch t.v, can't do anything the same time while i'm blogging- or else I won't put 100% effort into it. Like, right now. I'm watching Criminal Minds as i'm doing this; and it sucks because my mind drifts off into 2 shades of thoughts.

......And 20 minutes later: T.V. is off, nothing else going on; NOW I can concentrate on this blog, hmm...it's like studying.

At the moment, I don't know where to start. There's so many things swirling in my mind, don't know where to begin. I'll start on the things that's been bringing me down lately.

I'm not living on my own at the moment, as I might have mentioned in previous posts, living with the in-laws. It's not a brilliant idea when two families live at the same home. Crikey! It's a circus sometimes. There are some moments during the day where I like to be alone for a moment. I admit it. I like my own company sometimes; there's nothing wrong in being alone at least once a day to think about what you've done for the day or what you've done in your life.

Now that my mother-in-law's back from Indonesia it's back to spending the whole day in my room. Yep, I rarely go outside to the lounge room. I only come out of my room if I need to do these things: cooking, feeding my son, use the bathroom, washing the clothes and hanging them outside, going out for a walk. Call me a basketcase if you like, I don't care, I have my reasons to stay in my room all day when I don't get the house to myself. I pray to Allah Almighty that within one year, from now, all that is going to change. Allah willing, I will have a space for my own family, I won't have to share anything with anyone, except my family.

It has not been confirmed yet, but, we're planning to knock down this house that we're living in and build a duplex; so Robbie's parents live in one and Robbie, Abdurrahman & I in the other. That's the best option that we can go with. It's veerryyyy hard being married to an only child; especially with Robbie's father being sick- constantly asking for him. And imagine if we lived far away from his parents, it's gonna be hard for Robbie and his folks- so alhamdulillah we've resorted to the duplex idea. And this time, InshaAllah, it will happen. I want this to happen SO BAD as much as the next person. But I won't get my hopes up too much; something bad might happen, I won't get my personal feelings in the way. I have to constantly ask Allah Almighty to shower me with patience for as long as it takes; indeed Allah loves those who are patient.

The next thing that's been bringing me down lately is Uni and driving. Why driving? I'll tell you why. I HAVEN'T BEEN ALLOWED TO DRIVE FOR ALMOST 1 YEAR!! Now that's driving me INSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!!! Can you imgaine that?? You've got your full license, love to drive and never get sick of it, you love driving to your folks' house just to have a chat with them and see how your brothers (or sisters) are doing- but you've been deprived of that for a year. ONE YEAR! That's the most time I've spent NOT driving. It pisses me right off at times. But I remind myself to stay patient to seek Allah's pleasure and rewards. But the brighter side to that is this: inshaAllah I will be allowed to drive, with my son in the car, when he's 1 year old, which is on the 3rd of January 2007. That's not long to go, right? It's only a month and a half away! WeeEEeE!! InshaAllah i'll be reunited with my car *sigh*. I hope that I get to take my son to the medical center to ge this 12 months immunisation injection.

The next downfall is Uni. At the end of 2005 I deferred my studies for 12 months. Appparently they discontinued my studies simply because I didn't pay my student union fees. HOW GAY IS THAT??!! Now I have to apply though UAC again!! FAR OUT! !@#$%^&...!!! AAARRGGHH!! It's making me think who Abdurrahman's gonna stay with for a couple of hours, 'cuz with going to uni for part-time is only a 2-days-a-week attendance....I think. But we'll see what happens when I get the word from UAC. INSHALLAH I CAN RE-ENROL AND CONTINUE WITH MY COURSE!!

Ok...on a much brighter note. I can see that my son is about to grow his first set of teeth, at the front. I can see a little white line in the middle of his gums...hehehehhehehe, alhamdulillah, praise Allah. He's becoming more active now, leaving him alone in a room for more than 5 minutes without any sort of entertainment makes a mission impossible. Inshallah he'll be 1 year of age on the 3rd January 2007.

I haven't posted pictures in a long while; I might just do that in this post.

Hey Baby

I LOVE BABIES! Has that been obvious in my posts? hahuhaua! My hubby saw this video on break.com and told me that I would laugh my socks off.....and so I did, check it out:
Now tell me, WHO WOULDN'T laugh at that?! haahaha!! I laughed so much and so loud that I startled my son. I saw this other one: This sleepy baby is trying to stay sitting up and eventually gives up:


So, did you manage to contain your laughter?? DIDN'T THINK SO, HAHA!

Now that I've gotten the videos over and done with, I wanted to blog about what happened to me today.

Since it rained today and I did the washing, beforehand I was thinking how I was going to get all those clothes dried. Decided to drop the laundry load @ a Lakemba Dry cleaning on Wangee Rd- where most of life has been spent. I had to go to that Dry cleaning place anyway because I forgot to pick up my other laundry load, which I dropped off yesterday. Got the laundry done and had to get some stuff to make Butter Chicken (whOO yum!). An hour later, picked up the laundry and headed off to KFC @ Punchbowl, Canterbury Rd, to buy some HotRods Burger Meal for Robbie & I. Keep in mind that I wasn't driving the best car in the world: Toyota Camry 1990 model- bought 2nd hand with already high Kms, and alot of money spent to keep the car running, and previously $300 to fix the radiator.

So I put the keys in the ignition and the car stays silent. I kept still for a moment and was trying to figure what's going on. After 3 tries in turning the car on I gave up and called Robbie. I can tell he wasn't expecting anything to happen with the car, 'cuz it was previously fixed, supposedly.
So he finally came and rescued me (hahaha) with his car and with Abdurrahman in the back seat without the baby seat- cuz it was in the camry.

After long minutes in trying to fix the car, we just headed home and left the camry @ KFC, LOL! Later on, Robbie went with the next door neighbour to KFC, to try and fix the damned car, but to no avail. He came back home and called Towing. Twenty minutes later I see the camry dragged behind the truck as it tried to reverse the camry into the driveway..................you know, at that moment I was thinking: FINALLY that bomb of a car has broken down. *sigh*

My son fell asleep while having dinner today, hehehe! Allah is great, it's amazing to watch him grow little by little everyday.
Hey dudes & dudettes, I think that'll be all for this post. I'll find another time to come by.

~Peace.

Thoughts In Random Order.

Who has seen The Grudge 2?? Come on, hands up, I wanna know your honest opinion about that stinking movie.Hands down, The Grudge kicked butt because it was original, although it was a remake, straight to the point.My next door neighbour has all these copied movies in stock (yeh i know, pirated, blah blah blah).

My hubby went by to fix their computer and he came back with The Grudge 2 in his hand. My jaw dropped to the floor and I remember saying to theeffect of "get outta here.." or "No way! He's got that??"

And so, we decided to watch it together. Before the movie even started I already had the blanket covering half my face.Robbie was like "Nuh-uh, can't cover up your face or we don't watch it." Fifteen minutes later, what happens? He falls asleep!

The downside to The Grudge 2 was the fact that they failed to stop the evil from the roots. In movies, when someone saysthe classic line: "This monster....it cannot be stopped, it's impossible!", 99% of the time they kill the bad guy. But that's not the case with The Grudge 2. The dead Jap chick ends up killing everyone who's cursed, even Sarah Michelle Gellar (SMG)got killed. I reckon the movie would be a little more interesting if SMG killed off the "evil spirits"- it'd be like Buffy all over again! hah!
The bottom line: the storyline's just ok, unsatisfied with the ending.For those of you who have watched it, am I wrong to let my mind wander to the possibilty that there maybe, just maybe,that there will be a movie called "The Grudge 3"? Gosh! *rolls eyes*

Today, thanks to God, my son is 10 month, omg! Somebody pinch me! *gasp* oh my....in 2 months time, inshaAllah, he'll be 1 year old! *screams in disbelief* aahh!! When we get to the age of 9-10 months, we tend to become little rascals and want to reach for everything and put it in our mouths. He hasn't got any teeth yet, which doesn't worry me because in average babies can grow their first tooth between 3-15 months. If my little boy doesn't grow his first tooth by the age of 15 months,THEN I'll be worried.

Earlier this week I received two things. The Dream Theater: Score dvd that I ordered @ jbhifionline.com.au AND my CasioBaby G watch....alright! SoOoOOoo excited that I wore the watch right away! ahuahua!

I'm quite excited about tomorrow. InshaAllah going to Tempe Mosque in the morning, for a Saturday School session,and then later on off to my aunty's house for Eid- she's having an open house.

*sigh*I'm tired and my limbs are aching and I have to move my son from my bed to his cot. Think I'll end it here.

~Peace out y'all!
