i dont know about everybody else, but i just realised that i hardly ever salam my mum its always just ‘im home’. think i take her for granted, inshaAllah i will start giving her more respect from today and will salam her more often, not just on Eid day. Which by the way is approaching fast!! And i still havent managed to finish the pieces i started last week! i need to get moving…

By the way check out this post on Mendo’s blog. A muslim actually got praised on the New York Post. We dont see that everyday now do we??

This one says ‘hub’ which means love in Arabic.

When was the last time you told people you love them for the sake of Allah? Don’t leave it till its too late, make somebody smile today

i think i really needed that break from creativity. A whole month of rest - well kinda (still set this blog up and been doing random designs now and then like the one above). But now i’m ready to get back on the camel! (what? i’m a muslim!!) So guess i should stop avoiding calls and start taking projects on again. Will be getting some canvases on Monday inshaAllah so will start doing some spray painting

By the way, why is it that we have to do a capiltal letter when writing ‘i‘ but make it lower case when writing ‘a‘? Weird eh? Wow, i missed making up stupid theories

How do people sleep at night not knowing if the people they care about are alright? I’ve been finding it particularly difficult this week. Lying awake at 5am is not good for my health man!

A beautiful poem, one of my favorite, by the late Mowlana Jalaluddin Rumi

A moment of happiness,

you and I sitting on the verandah,

apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.

We feel the flowing water of life here,

you and I, with the garden’s beauty

and the birds singing.

The stars will be watching us,

and we will show them

what it is to be a thin crescent moon.

You and I unselfed, will be together,

indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.

The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar

as we laugh together, you and I.

In one form upon this earth,

and in another form in a timeless sweet land.

So i finally got round to getting my xbox 360 fixed after like 6 months or so. Although Microsoft said they will repair it for free, i think i still got bumped ‘coz talking to that lady on the phone was a nightmare!! She was trying to talk in an American accent but it was obvious she is in India, I had to repeat my self a zillion times when giving my details, and she couldn’t pronounce half the words she was trying to say! So even though i’m getting a free repair, Microsoft wins again. (i would normally swear now but someone told me to stop)
