I'll fill you in on what's been happening...
I've FINALLY managed to go on holiday to Sydney at the end of last year. My fiance surprised me and said he wanted to take me there. It was sooooo good to be back. I grew up in Sydney but my family moved to Queensland during my last year of high school. I caught up with some dear friends of mine and just showed my fiance around the place since he's never been there. The best thing about the trip was that he fell in love with the place... And he's seriously considering moving there after I graduate. Yaaaay for me. Sydney's always been my home, I just love the different cultures, mosques, shops and the people.
Here's some pics from Sydney and some places we stopped at along the way
Hmmmm... other than that it was just the usual - stay at home/see a friend, cook, clean, clean, cook... it sux being the only clean-freak in the house.
And then there was the floods... May Allah provide sustenance and make it easy on all the people who have been affected. Alhamdulillah the waters didn't reach as far as my place, and the friends and family who lived in Brisbane were not affected. Nevertheless, we did have a couple of families take shelter at my house just in case.. But Alhamdulillah their homes and possessions were safe. My house has always been open for when needed. I remember even in wartime in Bosnia we had refugees who lost their homes staying with us... and in Germany... and Sydney... It's all good in the end.
On another note, I feel as though I have gotten closer with my sisters, especially the younger one. I am so happy she opened up to me the last few weeks. You know how teenagers can get.
And my best friend's pregnancy is going along nicely Mashallah.. I am so looking forward to the end result, and with this heat and humidity I'm pretty sure she can't wait either.
My parents have been nice enough to allow my fiance to spend the weekends at our house (while I sleep in another room with my grandma of course). He lives in Brisbane and so has to drive for an hour each way... it was my grandma's idea actually. They felt bad making him drive back all by himself late at night. It's been a bit of a mixed blessing.. On the one hand we get to spend a lot more time together, on the other it gives me more things to complain about. Like when he spends waaaaay too much time with my dad. I know its a good thing they get along so well, but he is MY fiance and so he should be giving ME the attention lol (no I'm not an attention hog, but after 6 days of not seeing him I miss him a lot). But this weekend was different.. We got along quite well. He came over with a bunch of flowers, just for me :) and anything that begins with flowers has got to be a good thing right?
Eeeep I miss him already...
This break from uni is slowly drawing to an end.. And even though i am getting over it and looking forward to starting up another semester, I am going to miss the freedom it gave me. It looks like we won't be ready for the wedding by the time the semester begins so I'll have to drive all the way there again :(
Oooh... and I got a pleasant surprise when I went through the subjects for my degree.. turns out I can graduate at the end of the year Inshallah.. I thought I would have one subject left over for next year but then I realised I didn't take into account some credits I received from another Uni.. That totally made my day.
Anyway... thats all I can come up with for now with this headache..
So ye... till next time..
xoxo
