Assalamu Alaykum
Last week we took a flight down to Sydney. Thats me, lil monkey and my youngest sister. My parents already drove down there a few days earlier. It was a great trip, got to see some friends and family who I havent seen for a while.
We flew down first thing in the morning and took the train to Auburn where we found my parents and had some yummy sydney kebabs (nothing beats Auburn kebabs). Then we drove to see some family members in Doonside before going back to get ready for the mosque. There was a gathering at the Bosnian mosque which we went to. That was the whole reason we went to Sydney. All our family was there. It was like the good old days - you know, before all the fights and disagreements led us to go our separate ways. It was so long since we were all gathered together. Alhamdulillah it was a great night.
The next day was a kinda lazy one. Well, we did go shopping and out for dinner but thats about it. And my parents went back to qld. We spent the rest of the day at the apartment with my aunty and cousins.
Then there was our third and final day. We first went to Auburn again for kebabs and some shopping. My sister bought some clothes, but not me - I was a good girl hehe (lol jokes, I just couldn't find anything worth spending my money on). But I did want to go to the Islamic Bookstore there. I ended up buying three books, one on mothering, one on raising righteous children, and one on the beautiful Names of Allah.
Then we hopped back on the train and headed for the city. We just wanted to go for a walk and take a few photos. We didnt spend a lot if time there at all.
We went back to Auburn to meet uo with some friends for coffee, and had some curry at the halal thai restaurant.
The next day we hopped back on the train, back on the plane, and headed back home. After getting soaked by the rain and two pooh explosions by Sir Poopalot we finally arrived on the Gold Coast. Except there was no one home and we were starving so we braved the rain once again and went out for dinner. It was a crazy day that one. Im just grateful for pram rain covers. At least my little one stayed dry.
