visit part two...!

hey there my friends..! this is the continouation of my previouse post i promissed..!
the photo above shows a picture of the flowers my family greeted me with..! i took many pics of it, but i don't understand why i could only upload 5 photos... does anyone know how i can upload more in one post?!?!...
anyways,....

while i was visiting my family, i was asked to cook fatoor for them... ofcourse i thought i was on a holiday "that means no cooking" and my family haven't tasted much from me since i live far from them. so, they had the idea i didn't know how to cook...?!?! " but the truth was i didn't want to..!! they didn't believe that.. and kept teasing me for not knowing how to cook. i got a little pissed, and tolled them, i'm going to go into the kitchen alone!!! and that i didn't want anyone with me..... "oh ohhhh... wat did i do?!?!" that's wat i thought to myself, after i said that...!

but i kept my promise, and i went into the kitchen almost alone...hehehe "we have a maid, and she doesn't really cook for us but she is used to helping in the kitchen!" so, i let her company me.. after all she might learn a thing from me..lol!!!!!

so i cooked... and everything you see in the bottom 2 photos i made...! but to be honest, our maid made the soup, because she didn't really believe me iether, that i was going to cook...! "i don't get these people, is it written on my face?!?!?!....." and i tolled her to make rice, just incase..lol!!!!!!!

but i made the filfil (stuffed pepers), keemya/mafroom (eggs with ground beef),bofteek (beef steaks), 2 types of salad (normal with cuecomber and the other with eggplant) and fried macarooni.... it sounds like we eat alot, but i was just prooving a point..hehehe!! so, we got stuck with alot of food, hehehe!! and guess wat i did, i prooved my point, and i beat the challenge!!!!!!!

Ofcourse seeing my family was a good thing.... but i was really lucky as well to get a chance to do Omrah!! which made my visit the best!!!...:)

it was very crowded, but i think i was very lucky because i got a chance to go to the bab al-ka3ba (the ka'ba door) and i got the chance to kiss the hagar al-aswad (the black stone).....!

you may think i'm exagerating, but honistly,,, i prayed for you all (my blogger buddies), i won't tell you with wat...?!!?!? so, it can be accepted inshaa allah...! trully i did remember you :)

and for those who never been there, i trully hope you get a chance to go inshaa allah.... it's such an amaizing place, you feel inside your deep soul.... it is such a beatifull feeling, you can't describe!!! wallahi....! allah yarhamna be rahmata inshaa allah!!!

and that was my trip to my family that lasted only 15 days, but it was worth every sec!!!! i can't wait to go see them again. i already miss them...!!!!!

take care my dear bloggers, until i post again...hehe...!

salam!

my visit...:)

Hello there my dear bloggers! i've been away due to the fact that i was very busy during this ramadhan. since i don't live near my nuclear family, i have been trying to find a flight to go visit them this month (it's not the same without them!!)... i had trubble at first, but thank god (allah faragha!). it's because all the flights were booked, and if i left i and wanted to attend eid with them i would have to reaturn late, so late, my university would have already started..! so i found an early return and was hoping when i get there maybe i can extend it. to me at that moment was "just get me out of here and to my family, even for one day, i'd be happy!"

so, al-hamdo lillah my friend that works in egypt-air got me a flight that left on the 6th of sep. and the return was on the 21st... and saddly i couldn't stay longger, again there were no flights. but as long as i got to see my family and spent which was about 15 days with them. i consider i blessing.


Ofcourse, i had to break my fasting in the airport (i was going via cairo)... and i met this nice kind lady that was going on the same flight as mine with her husband. so, we had fatoor together! it was nice because we both had something packed from home with us, and we shared it... as well as the airport was handing out meals for the transite people... and there was my favorite shop "cinnabon!!!!!!" so ofcourse i treated myself and not to be rude the kind lady and man with me. but because i finally had my fatoor, and i was feeling all awake and i guess excited about my favorite drink. i kind of got a little high!!!!! "0ops!" and started to talk to the lady about how much i love this drink..lol which she found a bit wierd, because it was cold coffee (cappiciano, with caremel and a swiral of chocolate) and there was no shutting me up.... like i said before cafine is not good for me, coz i'm like border line, i have way too much in my system!! "but that's not our topic now..lol!

anyways, to make the story short... i reached my family safe and sound, and they were waiting for me with flowers in their hands... seriously they had a necklase with real flowers on it, which they wore me as i arrived. it was a kodak moment...tears and laughter!!

i'll type about it with pics in my next post!!.... wait for more imbarasing moments, and wat kind of challange i was put up to..!!!! salam to all..;)
