Eid room makeover!! :)

Guess who's camera got fixed???? MINE

Today is the final day of our Ramadan fast and InshAllah tomorrow will be Eid. Now the Islamic calender works on the basis of the moon cycle. The moon repeats its shape after every thirty or twenty nine days. So what actually happens is that the last day of every month is the day when the moon is in it final phase and after which the moon repeats it's shape. Now as the moon can repeat it's shape after 29 days as well, we aren't certain when the new month will start. But it's always after either 30 days or twenty nine. So we are expecting that the final phase moon will be today, signalling the end of Ramadan and and beginning of Shawal (Islamic month after Ramadan) . Eid is celebrated on the first,second and third of Shawal. I am planning to take a picture of the moon and put it on. Though spotting the moon is really difficult!

So as I have mentioned in my earlier posts Eid is a major festival for Muslims! We wear knew clothes, decorate our houses an prepare delicious food. And therefore today I spent almost the whole of my afternoon in giving my room a little Eid makeover.

I have taken a decision that for the next three days of Eid, I'll be keeping you updated with all the festivities, I'll call it the "THE EID PICTURE MANIA"!! For all those who visit my blog and read through my pointless chitter chatter, for the next three days I'll try my level best to keep the babbling low and pictures high!! :) So here goes, my room makeover:

Check out my new beady curtains and the huge Manchester United Poster on my door!!


Come on in!


So I went really really girlie this time with my room! Check out the ribbon and the bow! Simple yet cute!




I love the huge window and my cozy little bed :)



My mirror and my dressing table!! BTW my mirror agrees that I am the prettiest one of them all!! lol


I have a really small dressing table, 'cos I don't use many beauty products!


And to top all, a super cute dustbin!!! :)

Eid coming!!

Okay so it has been ages since I last updated my blog. The truth is that I have sooo much to do, homework, making eid cards, shopping, high school! I don't even get enough time to write on my blog.

Anyways, Eid is just two days away, WOW! I am soo excited. I wanted to put up the pictures of my shopping trip but couldn't 'cos my camera aint working properly!! :( I'll get it fixed and soon put the pictures on!

About high school, things have been kinda wierd, can't write anything about it due to privacy reasons! :S Though I would looove to share, but my hands are tied. My exams are starting from Monday and I haven't even touched my books yet! I hate studing in Eid holidays, why should I? Eid only comes once a year, exams come every month. Anyways, as my mom wouldn't let me off like that, I don't have a choice.

Today is the final Friday of the holy month of fasting, Ramadan. We call it 'Jumma-tul-Wida'. My mom has made a really pretty pink and silver dress for me. I loove it, I wish I could put the picture on, but darn it, my camera bailed on me!

Anyways, I would love to listen to your holiday experiences; Christmas, Holi, Eid, Thanks giving! Happy weekend!! :)

Nothing much!

So the weekend is here again! Life has been pretty ordinary! We are finally into the last week of Ramazan and will soon be celebrating Eid!

Now Eid is a festivle we celebrate once are 30 day fasting is over! Eid is a festivle as gift of God for all those Muslims who fast and spent their Ramazan month is praying to God. So anyways as Eid is a major muslim festivle, we prepare for it in full swing! We buy new clothes, decorate our homes and meet each other! Fabuluos feasts are enjoyed and everything is totally fun! But the best part of Eid is that the adults give the younger ones money, it is a religious practice. The money given is known as Eidi and the kids looove it! :) There is no specific age for Eidi, it is given to people younger than you! My grandpa gives my mom and dad eidi, my dad gives it to me and it goes on! And 'cos of all these reason I LOOOOVE EID!

So tonight I'll be going for Eid shopping with my cousin, uncle and aunt! It is our annual eid shopping trip! Every year all of us go for Eid shopping and have hell of fun! This year my camera will be tagging along too and I'll put all the pictures on my blog! :) So this is how our trip goes, first we go to a really good local resteraunt well-known for its rolls! Then we go to the mall and shop around! Over all it's really fun!

I am sooo looking forward to my shopping trip!

My high school is going pretty fine, nothing new! I am sooo behind my homework that now I give up! What is the use of doing it anyways?? I made friends with another guiy in my class who is a total nerdy! So let's just call him Mr. Nerdy Pants! He is a really nice simple guy, helps around a lot and stands those really stupid jokes that Ayesha and crack every now and then!

The rest is fine, I hope you people have a fabulous weekend! :)
