I promised Intlxpatr to post my quilting. I haven’t done much. I am slow and I need someone to motivate me. Maybe we should quilt together Intlxpatr? ;)

Here are the pictures:

Those were the days..

  • I miss the visits to my grandma’s, Allah Yir7amha, house in Mansouriya. We used to go there, and then to my aunt’s house in the back. I remember playing inside the van ‘Waneet’ which was always parked outside, though I never knew to whom it belonged. 
  • I miss playing in 7adiqat el Mansouriya.
  • I miss seeing my grandma at breakfast each morning when I was in Kuwait. She can’t do it anymore but I keep remembering that.
  • I miss uncle ‘Y’ Allah yir7ama when he used to come to my mother-in-law’s house (his sister) each night for dinner. He used to eat khoboz o jibin or soup or kebab. He was the most humble modest man I know.
  • I miss my best ‘relative’ friend. I remember the days when we used to stay long hours, in her room, just reading magazines and cutting what we want. Or, translating and looking up every word in the dictionary we didn’t know from an A-HA song. Though we are not together any more, I truly wish her well and all the best.
  • I miss aunt ‘M’ Allah yir7amha. I don’t really know what exactly to mention about her because there was and will never be anyone like her.
  • I miss the days when we used to record tamthiliyyat (Tv shows) with my brothers. The Monopoly games and the so7oor in Ramdan.
  • I miss the gatherings on Wednesdays. Used to be my favourite day of the week.
  • I miss uncle ‘M’ Allah yir7ma. I miss his visits to my house in Switzerland. He stayed with me two times and during that time, I got to know the real him, which not many know unless you live with him. 
  • I miss her, although I haven’t seen her for a long time, and now she’s gone. 
  • I just miss everything and hate the changes but all I can say is Al Hamdilla 3ala kil 7al.
  • There are so many other things but I can’t write anymore. My heart is aching and I so need a hug :( .
P.S: I am really sorry to all my relatives who are reading this. I know they relate to a lot of the things I said so I am really sorry if I made you feel bad but I felt I had to let it out somewhere.

The Good Old Days

Sometimes I think about the golden school days. It’s like a movie strip in my brain. I see how I’ve changed. It’s amazing.

Kindergarden: I remember I changed school two times I don’t know why my parents did this. I used to cry EVERY morning when my parents took me and I always refused to go to my class. The teachers would listen to me in the end and I remember almost always sitting in another class, don’t ask why lol!

Primary School: Hmm, I got a bit calmer here. I am always shy to talk in class. I wouldn’t answer even if I knew the answer and I remember once the teacher thought I was cheating and she sent a paper to my mum to come and see me being re-tested in front of her lol! I got the full mark again, duh!

My a-ha obsession began in fourth grade. In case you don’t know who they are, they are a band from Norway. Here’s a pic in the old days lol:

 

 

 

 

 

  

Middle School: It was the BEST I guess. I had many friends. I was into those 80s pop music. Remember those times when all the girls had school bags with pictures of Duran Duran, Madonna and George Michael? loooool!  My friends used to sneak in magazines and pictures lol!

And A-ha are still on the menu LoL!

 

High School: The first year I was in England. It was the invasion and we studied in the King Fahed Academy in London. It was kind of fun. I remember it snowed ALOT that year and the food in the school was YUM! LoL, yeah I used to sneak in for a second serving (they don’t allow it but the teacher sometimes let me whereas other times I sneaked in before he noticed lol).

I completed high school in Kuwait later on of course. It wasn’t fun. I became very isolated. I don’t know why but I found it hard to make friends at that time. 

And yeah, you guessed it, A-ha are there too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

College: Kuwait University, English Department. I enjoyed that. I got married in my first year then had my first boy the second year. It was not easy but I enjoyed it. I love English and for the first time I am studing AND enjoying it! I didn’t have many friends, just three. I was the quiet type, not one of the popular gals.

and YUP, this is a-ha now! 

 Here’s one of my old faves (The video is new though). Makes me cry :(

 

I love this one, the melody is very beautiful:
