I think it's smaller than my college campus, which I normally walk from one end of it to the next on a daily basis. I'm very pleased al hamdulilah, mainly for little bro too, he gets to experience some travel for a change, broaden his horizons a bit, realize there's more to the world.

I didn't say much about it but on my way to MY everything that could go wrong in flights happened, I ended up spending time in New York City exploring, and then later in London, which I liked a whole lot more (tons of Muslims there). Now the Maldives, this is proving to be quite the adventure!

MashaAllah tabarakAllah
Bro, please, you must(!!!!!!) take photos, please!
May Allah (swt) protect you all on your journey. Ameen.

All paid for Maldives trip *sigh* <--- good jealous, good - not the evil, bulging eye jealousy.

Rofl, bulging eye jealousy that's hilarious.

Definitely if I go there I will insha Allah take many pictures, but actually I am going to pray istikharah before going. I think bro in law already got all the tickets, but I'm going to pray it anyway and we'll see how it goes. Also ameen and jazakumullahu khair for the du`aa.

The Maldives are so expensive to go to!!! So make the most of this trip. Saw a clip about it in Arabic class and all I can say us mashallah!!

*coughs* casually trying to stuff up Cheesey and Nraf's cousin's gears lol.
Went up and down some really crazy hills where I had to shift the power in the auto so I can go up the hills.

I kept pushing to far back and putting the car in neutral when trying to get back into drive ha ha...

**El Muslima** · 06-Jul-2012 02:46 PM

Why don't u drive an auto car ? Wouldn't it be faster & easier to get yr license ?

**Ummi_Abdulmalik** · 06-Jul-2012 05:27 PM

It was an auto lol, but there's special mode to go up tough hills for an auto car

**Najah** · 06-Jul-2012 05:48 PM

It's better to learn in manual, then u can drive any car. When I learnt driving I asked my dad if I could learn manual...he said its too hard for women lol.

I've been looking for a laptop for some time now and decided to go on GumTree to see what's available and found a late 2011 13" i5 MacBook Pro for $800 right around the corner from my house. I rang up the guy and he said to come have a look at it. So I went to the address on the ad and the guy had no idea who I was and what laptop i was talking about. As I was walking out, I see a 19 year old kid with a laptop with a smirk on his face. He looked very familiar but I didn't know who he was. I knew he was arab though cause he told me he was lebanese on the phone. i said to him "What's that smirk for? You look like you have something shifty up your sleeves."

Anyway, I was looking at the laptop, checked it's warranty (10 months left) and called Apple to see if its been reported stolen. All clear. I asked him he knew my cousin Mohammed, and he said yeah I know him. Than I asked if he knew my brother Osman, he said he knows him too. Than he starts cracking up laughing and says "I can't believe you don't recognise me. It's me your cousin." So I wacked him across the head. It turned out to be my cousin Mohammed younger brother Ibrahim who I hadn't seen for about 3 years. Little punk. I made him take $50 off the price loll

I bought me a Canon EOS 600D today!

So excited, can't wait to get my hands on it and start using it inshaAllah.

**Ummi_Abdulmalik** · 08-Jul-2012 10:15 PM

Free entertainment from my wacked up housing.
Bunch of death threats, wanting to cut a woman open (lol) and some banging.
Glad I'm in doors with my doors locked lol

Daily entertainment between 8pm and 6am

**Tay_** · 09-Jul-2012 12:22 AM

Insha'Allah in afew hours time I'm going to be part of the recording of the Travelling Light series in Istanbul based on Imam Ghazzali (r) Shaykh Walead Mossad is going to be giving the class which will then go on sale on dvd to raise money to build a masjid at Cambridge University in the UK

**At-Ta'if** · 10-Jul-2012 02:05 PM

Alhamdulillah, I can now access my semester 1 results after paying my university library fine.

A huge load off my chest as I was really breaking a sweat over these results!

Anyway, I passed all 4 subjects with 2 distinctions and 2 passes - alhamdulillah.

Looking forward to smashing my semester 2 subjects!

But for now, I'm going bush, insha'Allah!

**Muslim..Priincess** · 10-Jul-2012 02:14 PM

My highlight is finally being able to log into this site. For some reason it doesn't work at home Internet but on my phone Internet it does for some reason..

Anyway.. I got my uni results too

all HDs alhamduillah !! Especially after those difficult exams aha..

At taif, you should be careful not to ever get a library fine, I read on the IISNA pamphlet that it's a form of ribaa..

Now to wait for Ramadan !

**Najah** · 11-Jul-2012 10:09 AM

This was from a few days ago, and more of a funny thing than a highlight. Anyways I was looking up reviews of restaraunts in Malaysia for my trip later this year InshaAllah and I read one review by an asian guy who said that this restaurant was going to be bad because it was halal and didn't serve pork so his expectations were already low. Then he goes on to say, as expected the food wasn't that good because it was halal and there was no pork. Was quite funny to read. The owner of the restaraunt replies back and says that their decision to make the restaraunt halal was based on locality and that they had to do it for their business! Then she said maybe in the future they might open up a place that serves pork, but the taste of her dishes wouldn't be compromised even without pork lol.

**cheesegirl** · 11-Jul-2012 11:16 AM

How is a fine riba??

**Najah** · 11-Jul-2012 11:21 AM

thats what I was going to ask actually, I can't see how it is.

**Ummi_Abdulmalik** · 11-Jul-2012 11:32 AM

Half way through planning this assignment while the kids are playing.
I'm going to be offline from her and facebook. I want to focus properly. So As Salaamu Alikam

**At-Ta'if** · 11-Jul-2012 09:20 PM

Set up camp, campfire, prayed our prayers, tea and biscuits, found some deer trails and litter so we are preparing for the hunt tomorrow. Alhamdulillah.

**Muslim..Priincess** · 11-Jul-2012 10:24 PM

Hmm..I can't seem to locate where I read it from, it wasn't fines in general but it was specifically library fines, since I can't find it just ignore what I said, i'm a bit confused now.

**cheesegirl** · 12-Jul-2012 04:06 PM

But libraries are free? The fine is a penalty for not returning the book.
