I’m so hooked on facebook I nearly forgot I had a blog …

Yesterday was Leilat 11th of Muharram. We sat in the car listening to the lecture. After the battle of Kerbala, orphans and grandchildren of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) were taken as prisoners, and left alone in the darkness of their tents, mourning the death of their loved ones whose holy remains were scattered outside their tents. We felt so unified with the others as we lit our candles to relive the sad events of that day.

Yesterday I paid my respects to my step-mother in law, her mother passed away a day ago. I want to go today as well because my sisters want to come with me this time. I won’t be making it on Friday though because I’m invited to a Wedding, it’s bad luck for the bride (chabsa-making the bride infertile), just in case superstition might be true. ٍI asked my friends at work what I should do. Of course they advised me not to go to their funeral on the 3rd day, which I wasn’t going to do anyways. Then I was told if I’ll be going today I can, as long as I go somewhere else before going back home. I want to play it safe too, I don’t want to offend any people even if it’s not real …

Almost everyday for the past week I’ve been hearing stories about people getting meningitis here in Kuwait. I called up Rawda and Mishref mustawsif and still they don’t offer the meningitis vaccine to the public. what the hell are they waiting for, an epidemic?

p.s. A co-worker mentioned it won’t be available for the public until next year, so reassuring!

My fish passed away during the weekend, I’m not sure what happened to her. She was doing so well and I took good care of her …

ilhamdillah I’m beyond happy. On Thursday my dad and big brother came back from hajj, while my big sister and younger brother came back on Friday. I cried so much when I greeted them. I missed them so so so much ..
