New course books!

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Monday, April 13, 2009 in , , , , , ,


Bushi's new academic year has just started. So, yesterday I went to buy his course books. And I was reminded of the times when I used to visit the bookshops very often to buy my O- and A-Level books and past papers. During these (almost) 4 years of my university life, I have never visited a bookshop with the intention to buy any coursebook. Thanks to my classmates who would go and buy books for me too =)

Getting back to the point. Momma dear was putting plastic covers on his books and copies. Usually I do this every year, but since I had an exam today, I was (or pretending to be) busy in studying Auditing. But I love books. I love kiddy books more. So, I kept my notebook aside and started reading Bushi's books. His English book has such nice stories. And I then read his "Pakistan ki sayr", and his Science textbook. I just love those glossy-paper books. I hope he uses them with all due care :( At one point, I was so deeply delved in those books, I hardly noticed Momma staring at me. Hehe. =) And then I got back to studying Auditing :( [And my paper went okay-ish] :/ I'm waiting for my exams to finish so I could read all of his books :$

Oh, I'm in love with this song - Bandar Road se Kemari... :D I want to sit in a tonga :(



Cheerio folks =)

PS: Prayers needed for my last paper - Treasury and Funds Management - the nightmare of my life, scheduled at 12:30 pm, Wednesday :(

Laptop Care

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Friday, April 10, 2009 in , ,

Yesterday I was talking to this friend about my Mac, who's also a big fan of Apple. And he asked me if my Mac gets heated up. Oh well, it does. And then he told me such a nice tip (which, of course, Dinky Mind didn't know). He said to keep the notebooks cooler, one must keep a wooden drawing board (or any wooden board you get, right [V]?) under the notebook. And then your Mac-delights or any-other-laptop won't get heated up :) How cool that is =)

Oh, and this reminds me he has got 2 berry cute puppies. I asked him their names and he said he hasn't thought about them yet. I was so glad to find another Dinky Mind :D hehe. Anyway, to help him out, I named his pups Fluffy and Duffy :D Yep, Duffy is female =) I still envy him for such cutie pies :(

Me off now. Planning to study :P

Cheerio folks =)

Pistol shooting

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Wednesday, April 08, 2009 in , ,

And today was my first day at the 10-meter Pistol Shooting Range. And it was horrible :D My arm's hurting like anything. Dayum these huge pistols. And tell you what, it's so hard to position yourself and focus at the target properly. I seriously can't hold my breath for that long. Plus, I've got such miniature hands, I can't hold the weapon properly either. And our coach is such an unfriendly guy. He should be knowing that I've the talent to excel in it :P but at the moment I need his patient guidance. Lol.

And if I am ever asked to choose between Rifles or Pistol Shooting, I'd definitely go for Rifles. These people have got such awesome-ish rifles. Mannnnnn!!! :D And I personally like rifles - those sleek, black, elegant rifles :P

Oh, and this reminds me I have to buy (one eye blocking) glasses :P

Cheerio folks.

PS: I've still got 2 exams left. So loadsa prayers needed. Thankoos :)

Burger Time

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Monday, April 06, 2009 in , , ,

Hmmm, guessed right, I made burger today :) And I topped mine with extra Mozzarella cheese and garlic dip. Ahhhhh, so heavenly. And I ate the whole of it, which is a very rare thing. I have just once finished Subway's Chicken Teriyaki sandwich. And the reason was, we had not ordered cold drink that day :P The moment I sip cold drink/ water/ juice, etc., I feel my tummy-meter showing full! I can either finish cold drink and fries, or I can finish the sandwich/ burger, and pass the fries and drink to my bros.

Oh, and did I tell you I love garlic dip like anything? I had it in Jeddah for the first time when we had Al-Baik. The dips and ketchups used to come in very cute miniature boxes. And my Dad and I used to hide them in our pockets, and would literally lick the box when we'd go out :D Ahhh, I miss you and those garlic-dip boxes. And my pwetty Momma makes one heck of garlic dip. And no, it's not mixing crushed garlic in mayonnaise. It's a completely different recipe and berry yummy too :D

Oh, getting back to my home-made Burger now ;) Oh my God, I'm so full, I can harldy burp :D Hehehe. Now I can just see cheeeeeese and garlic dip everywhere. Somebody Stop Meeeeeeeeh :P All I can say it, it was a yumm-yumm thing, and I still love myself for making this cheese-laden burger AND that cheese-stuffed pizzaaaa. Ssssssmokin' :P

Okay, just pray that I stop acting like The Mask, and I stop eating too many cheese things and chocolates too :P

Cheerio folks =)

PS: My first exam went awesome-ish :D Yayyyy! And this means that I had a very blessed day. Alhamdolillah! :) Thanks to all those who prayed for this Dinky Mind. Tension not, Allah will reward you for sure :)

When You Grow Up.

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Monday, April 06, 2009 in , , , ,

Today I've got my first Mid-Term exam of WTO (at 6:30 pm). I was studying - rather just reading my notes quickly - when my lil niece came and sat next to me. She is, by default, a very very mischievous and problem-creating kid. So I made her sit with me on the condition that she won't disturb me a teeny bit.

Me: *reading at a real fast speed*
Abeer: *innocently looking at my face and then at my notebook*
Me: *finishes reading*
Abeer: Puppooo, you study at a good fast speed. So when you'll grow up, you'll surely go to college one day.
Me: O yeah? Thanks ;) And where do I study right now?
Abeer: Junie-vasty (universtiy)
Me: After that I'd go (back) to college?
Abeer: Yes! I know you will! Like I will!
Me: Hmm... So who's gonna grow up first then?
Abeer: Me shall! I'm in school now, then I'd go to college, and then to junie-vasty!
Me: Poink!!!! :O



*sigh* You can never win an argument with such kids :D

Cheerio folks =)

PS: I'm having a lot of chocolate lately. I brought a bottle of chocolate spread too, some 3-4 days ago. And it's about to get emptied now :( I eat several spoonful of chocolate a day :(

PPS: Last night I accidentally got Mortein spray in my left eye. And since then I've been rubbing my eye badly. O yeah, I did wash it with cold water. Although it feels okay now, but my eyes look unbalanced in size now :D

Oh man, 10 honest things about meeh? That's gonna be tough, honestly :D

Well, let's try.

  1. My short height used to bug me a lot when I was in school. But not anymore, because we've got so many short-heighted girls in our university, I feel good when I go stand next to them :P (Yeah, I know I'm evil) :D

  8. I still love Barbie dolls :$ And I sometimes wish someone could gift me a Barbie (with its accessories AND a Barbie house) on my birthday :(
  9. I like taking pictures of myself. Lol. I love myself for who I am and how I look :D [Those who have seen me might contradict] hahaha :D
  10. I've always, like ALWAYS, wanted to do something different. And I've still not come up with that different idea. :D Umm, or probably I wanted to try to hold a key position at the UN *haye* :D

Pizzzaaaa

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Thursday, April 02, 2009 in

Dearest Daddy

Yesterday I made cheese stuffed pizza. It was so so so SO awesome, I love myself for making such a thing :$ hahaha. I missed you so badly because you always loved anything that I made. And this pizza was one thing that I wanted to make for so long. But I hope you get to eat a better cuisine over there :) Still, I missed that pat-on-the-back scene. I used to feel like a top class cook at that time :)
I did take a few pictures, but since we had a power failure at that time, the pictures didn't come out that good :/ But last night I had stuffed myself so much that today I skipped my breakfast :D Don't worry, I'm going to have a slice for pizza for lunch ;)

Keep praying

U.S.

PS: I didn't make salad yesterday. You and I used to finish the bowl. So I might make it next time :)
