It has just been over a year since I started blogging. Yay! Happy 1st anniversary! (We can have blogging anniversaries right?) I didn’t think that I would have many readers, let alone 39 awesome followers! (Yes you, reading this. You are awesome!) My aim is simple – write about things that make me happy, and to … Continue reading
…Sadaqah.
I recently attended an Islamic talk where the issue of Sadaqah was discussed. ‘Sadaqah’ is an Arabic term, which within the context of Islam means “voluntary charity”. Now, to my knowledge (which isn’t too bad), I always thought that Sadaqah was about making a sincere and heartfelt monetary donation to help people who were in unfortunate position. But … Continue reading
…wishing you an awesome 2013!!
I know it’s a little late, but better late than never! And Kung Hei Fat Choi too!! See, this post is just in time. 😉 I started the year by making the obligatory resolutions. And then of course, I duly broke them. I don’t think it would be normal for me to even follow the … Continue reading
…Paris!
The city of LOVE. Instead of waiting for ‘love’ to knock on my door, I decided to organise a weekend away with friends. It’s a trip that I’ve been masterminding for some time now, but unfortunately, the evil slog also known as ‘work’ meant that my dear friends had little time. Ah, the joy when … Continue reading
…my turquoise flats!!
Aren’t they cute?! I saw them. I was curious. My heart was racing, and my mind was trying to justify where and when I could wear them. In Paris of course! Parisian Chic, my little treat. Why not? And I can wear them with skinny jeans or a cute dress. I can wear them again, … Continue reading
…when your orchids bloom again!
That’s right. I had my second bloom this year. I have had this pot of orchids for about 4 years now. It used to flower once a year, show off its royal purple for a few months, and then remain silent, and stalk like for a year. Just a stick in a pot. Not any … Continue reading
…Michael Kiwanuka.
I have been listening to Mr Kiwanuka for about a year now. I first heard of him through a friend (with great taste in music), and downloaded his ‘Tell Me A Tale EP’. I really love his voice. It’s smooth, soothing and soulful. Kinda like Otis Redding, but in a world of his own, sounding … Continue reading
…the Olympics and the Paralympics!!
Like many people, I also suffered from Olympic Fever. I know it’s not a disease, but it was truly contagious. I don’t know how I managed to catch the fever…I blame the radio, the TV, the world-wide web, and oh, everyone else who was talking about it. Surely, you were also affected…..? But now it’s … Continue reading
…a new look.
I have been blogging for about 4 months. The freedom provided is refreshing, and hey, its great to ‘meet’ like-minded bloggers whilst sharing chuckles and debates. I have also been playing around with widgets, themes and colours (as you can see, I appreciate pink). Do any bloggers out there think that we should remain with … Continue reading
…being the bigger person.
There are occasions when we all have to bite our tongues, and take a deep breath. Maybe even count to ten. Today, was one of them. Unfortunately, my work colleagues are a little bit….ignorant. I put it down to their age (other factors could include arrogance, vanity or plain old stupidity). Social exclusion has always … Continue reading
