July has been great so far. alhamdulillah.  or maybe its just the state of mind. maybe its just that time of the year when things going a bit alright. but for all that has happened, i am grateful for it.

there was the visit from my fave singer Sami Yusuf to our mosque. i mean who could have thought Sami Yusuf right in front of me. haha. but anyway, its his songs i like and listen to. and as i have been telling the singer himself, we were very surprised to have him because my teachers and i had been discussing about our graduation this end of the year and choosing his latest single forgotten promises for one of the songs and here he is, right before our eyes. and best thing next to that are complimentary tixs i received for his concert the next day!! went with my mother to the concert and it was fabulous. he is really a talented musician.

to add on to my exciting july 😉 is my fave author Tariq Ramadan came down to Singapore to give a number of talks and a workshop right here in singapore! and i got the opportunity to go to one of his talks last thursday! i just love his reformative ideas and how he makes us think all the way through his talk. it’s a blessing to have listen to his talk on Religious Ethics in Post Modern Society. Fantastic.

and the letter for our Centre of Excellence (ACE) award reached us at last!! and that is another thing to give me something to smile about at work…apart from all the hustle bustle down there.

what matters most is i get to spend some time with hubby for a day and with the families on the day i turn 29.
its a weird number. and its weirder because im one step closer to another decade which starts with the digit 3. have i achieved my dreams, have i become what i planned to be, am i the person that i want to be, what can i do more and achieve more? how is my life going to be in the next ten years, if i get to live that long, will i? somehow 29 brings a lot of questions to myself. it really is. but i am blessed to have my husband with  me to face this life together now, to support me and hold me when i fall and cry. always there for a comforting hug.

oh, add on to that weirdness, i did have a weird funny day. celebrating it with chernobyl radiation infected zombies (a movie which goes from lame to a bit of horror to just plain stupidity), a wild boar and a bunch of monkeys. quite a memory i suppose.

and of course, lunch with the tweevrans and dinner with the kamirs. alhamdulillah rizq minAllah.
