Sunday 18th - 1st day in the study leave...
Went to bed after fajr yesterday, wanted to stay up and logged in but couldn't... was starting to get really sick, my stomach hates me... so I just prayed fajr and jumped into bed.... woke up several times because of the stomach ache but couldn't leave bed, till it was 5 pm! damn! how come I overslept that much?!
Got up and was about to leave the room when I relaized we have all these workers and handymen, so put on my scarf and went out of the room, took a hot shower and came back to my room... found out I can't close the door coz it's just been painted :s I hate sitting in my room with the door opened specially when all these people are outside:s
Checked my mob and found a txt from my college friend, she tried calling me several times yesterday on my mob but I pretended I'm asleep and didn't answer, and she's on block on my msn list, so she txted me and was like 'I'm really sorry, I know I shouldn't have said what I said' I txted her back saying 'it's ok, khalas' *shrugs*
logged in, checked the blogs and emails, found an email from Bedouin sent like 10 hrs ago, damn! I don't like replying emails that late, but I think according to his standards he'd find that reply pretty fast :p
Dad and mum came in and we all had dinner in my room, since the kitchen was full of workers, I played al burdah by Ahbab Al Mutafa andboth me and dad started singing along, I LOVE it! I asked dad about some words I don't understand and he explained them to me, then I wrote the bit I like most and printed it out to memorize it later on, I just love this part, can never have enough of it!
أمنْ تذكر جيرانٍ بذى ســــلمٍ مزجْتَ دمعا جَرَى من مقلةٍ بـــدمِ
أَمْ هبَّتِ الريحُ مِنْ تلقاءِ كاظمـــةٍ وأَومض البرق في الظَّلْماءِ من إِضـمِ
فما لعينيك إن قلت اكْفُفا هَمَتــا وما لقلبك إن قلت استفق يهــــمِ
أيحسب الصبُ أنّ الحب منكتـــمٌ ما بين منسجم منه ومضْطَّــــــرمِ
لولا الهوى لم ترق دمعاً على طـللٍ ولا أرقْتَ لذكر البانِ والعَلــــمِ
فكيف تنكر حباً بعد ما شــهدتْ به عليك عدول الدمع والســــقمِ
وأثبت الوجدُ خطَّيْ عبرةٍ وضــنىً مثل البهار على خديك والعنــــمِ
نعمْ سرى طيفُ منْ أهوى فأرقـني والحب يعترض اللذات بالألــــمِ
يا لائمي في الهوى العذري معذرة مني إليك ولو أنصفت لم تلــــمِ
عَدتْكَ حالِيَ لا سِرِّي بمســـــتترٍ عن الوشاة ولا دائي بمنحســــمِ
محضْتني النصح لكن لست أســمعهُ إن المحب عن العذال في صــممِ
إنى اتهمت نصيحَ الشيب في عذَلٍ والشيبُ أبعدُ في نصح عن التهــمِ
Ok, dad this can't be about God, it just can't, it's a poor guy who's in love and being tortured, so dad was like, sufis are like that, I told him I know they are, but maybe this is like the old arabic style of writing poetry where they'd start by writing some verses about the ones they love, I mean look at the places he mentioned, I'm sure that where his love used to live, it's waaaaay too obvious he's talking about a girl! but I LOVE it all the same...
For some reason this discussin brought up the subject of the guys, and dad was like I wanna give Bedouin and Al 'Diwan Al Imam Al Haddad' next time I see them, but since Al isn't that great in arabic Ima give it to Bedouin... :D
Then for some reason I started playing 'Ya Ilahal Kawn' by Mesut Kurtis, I love this song, we used to sing it in Madina, but with different lyrics, it brings lots of happy memories, as soon as I started playing it I found dad crying! he really loves it, and he kept asking me about Mesut, who's his composer and lyricist, he was really impressed alhamdulillah!
Then we started talking about the guys again:
- dad: U know, the optimist is really smart
- me: What do u mean dad?
- dad: didn't u notice he started introducing all the guys, trying to bring out the best in them, I totally got his message!
- me: *panicking big time!!!* message? what message?? (I tried to sound normal)
- dad: I think he might've felt, he or any of the guys that I'm not cool with u working with them anymore, specially after u said u r in a study leave, didn't he say in the end that whether u go on working with them or not they still appreciate what u did, I'm sure this dinner was made to make me feel better about u working with them.
- me: *pheeewww* yeah, right!
- dad: anyway, they're great guys mashaAllah, I really liked Al and Bedouin,
- me: yeah, it was the first time for me to meet Al, but I'm really impressed mashaAllah
- dad: so, did u start reading any of the books they got u?
- me: yeah, the glory of Iqbal, I love his poems
- dad: yeah, he's great mashaAllah, but Rumi is the best
- me: sure, Rumi is our all time favourite
- dad: yeah, Al, optimist and bedouind said they really like him, not seemo thu
- me: yeah (I was really astonished how every convo now with dad relates to the guys somehow, alhamdulillah!!)
- dad: so, who trlansated the books?
- me: Al did most of them, there's one translated by Bedouin's sister too
- mum: he's got sisters?
- me: yeah, I guess
- mum: where r they staying?
- me: I think UK
- mum: yeah, I remember he was saying their mum wanted them all to do medecine
- me: yeah, I think he said so (how come my parents remember all that!)
- mum: they all seems to be good guys mashaAllah
- me: yeah, mashaAllah
- mum: maybe it's not such a bad idea for u to work with them after u finish college
- me: yeah, I know, inshaAllah
- mum and dad: if u want u can take some courses, check out the diplomas in AUC, just see what they need u to study and do it
- me: ok isA (what's wrong with my parents?!)
Forgot to say that Saint's wife talked to me yesterday, she's a sweetheart, she txted me while at dinner on thursday and said she heard we're at dinner now and she hopes everything goes well isA and that next time she'll be here for me, how sweet! :)
Then she txted me again yesterday asking how did it go, I chatted to her that night after I got back from college for like 2 hrs, she was asking for every single detail and was so happy and excited about the whole thing.. . she asked me about Al's wife and I said I loved all the wives, so she was like, u can't say that coz u didn't see me yet :p I told her I'm sure she's the niciest of them all and that I already loved her!
She told me how happy all of them are, and that ever since they started to know me and they feel like I'm family, but now they can't wait till it's official ;)
She said I better start learning indian food, coz Bedouin loves it, and she offered to give me cooking lessons :p
She's the sweetest, she said zak is getting really cute, I told her I can't wait to see him, she said yeah, me and Saint decided we're gonna leave him to you everytime we're out, I told her yeah Saint last time told me that it's a deal and I'm not going anywhere :p I can't wait to baby sit him :D she was like he'd love to be with his auntie J :D
Chatting to Southwind now, she's giving me the whole low-down of her meeting this morning, she told me about it yesterday, and I was like, I wanna come I wanna come :p then she was like, it's ok, I'd send them ur salams ;) I told her he probably won't come if he knows u r there :p and it actually happened, Al, Seemo, and Saint showed up, but he didn't, I wonder why :p
She told me she'd need my help for the launch of the channel after I finish exams, and told me to ask my parents about it, coz A. would be related too, i told her that'd be really cool, and promised to talk it over with my parents, specially that me and my family are invited, let's see how things would go, kheir isA.
ok, I think Ima go revise for a couple of hours before B signs in....
Prayers needed people!
