Islam and the porno devils

Salaam,

Yes, who would have guessed it? Two entries within such a short period of time (and i'll try and do less typos than last time..)

Have been on the "proper" job for a few days now and it's going ok...thats because I haven't been doing any work though...basically I need to decide which group to join so am having lots of meetings with various groups to try and sort it out by the end of the week. I'm in a fortunate position in that two teams seem very keen to have me, but I need to decide which I want...I'm not the best when it comes to making decisions like this as both teams have their pros and cons..But in the meantime I just spend most days surfing the net...and getting paid for, not a bad life...

The title, very bizarre I know, is relating to this article about a book called "Muhajababes" which seems to be getting a lot of press in the UK. It's about a woman who basically travels around the middle-east meeting people in their early twenties and getting their views on..life I guess and a lot of the stuff she encounters is what a white middle-class woman wouldn't expect Muslim people to be saying...(gay people, dodgy backstreet stuff...I think you get the picture..). Unfortunately from the things I saw going on in the middle-east, a lot of it is true...dua's for our arab brethren..

Anyway, i'll leave it at that as I need to get to my flat to revise. Yes Revise...! I thought those days were over with uni but I have a big exam on the 18th of Sept which I need to pass to allow me to deal with clients. Content seems easy enough but the quantity....sheesh...!!

Better Late Than...

Salaams,

I'm so bad with timing and being organised. It's something i've always ahd an issue with and it contnuies to haunt me...

YEs, i was supposed to weote something a week ago, then a few days ago etc etc...but finally now..even though i'm Still in a rush...

Since i've been back from my travels, everything seems to have gone by Sooo quickly -i was at home for 3 weeks and now i've been on London for a month (a month..!!) but it seems like a few days ago i was riding my camels in the sahara...big time nostalgia kicking in (yeah, you know it...)

Anyway, yes, a month has flown by in London and i finished my training on Friday, so decided to go back home for the weekend. That in itself was a bit of a mission due to the british tansport system - i was supposed to get home at 9;30, but due to one delay and another this ended up being midnight.

The wwekend itself seemed to disolve away very quickly, and now i'm back in London again..its bizzarre, but it seems like i've been away from London for ages though...I suppose this is because Burnley is so different from London that it feels like its been longer.

Travelling on the trains has been quite fun though in that on the journey to burnley i ended up sitting in first class (we got moved up for free as all normal seats had run out..)opposite a Muslim woman from South Africa to who i talked for quite a while (I'm a big fan of the South African accent,as with all accents) and on the way back i was sitting next to a guy from Preston who i also talked to for the whole journey and ended up exchanging contact details. Heck, if things carry on like this, i'll end up with quite a few new friends just from travelling back and forth from Burnley...!

As i said, training has now finished which means i start the "proper" job from tomorrow which i'm not really looking forward to to be honest...well first of all i need to be in for 7am (its already nearlly midnight and i haven't even ironed my shirt for tomorrow..!)but also it mean i have to do, like, proper work and stuff...staying on with further education seems so attractive at times like this...

Re this whole blogging thing, it seems to be just tetering out now...as in it needs some closure ASAP...there's Still a few things i wanted to say about it all but NOT TIME...argagagagahahg!!!!

I just seem to have no time for anything these days, and it doesn't feel nice...for eg a bro i know from uni works in a building say 100 metres from mine but i've hooked up with him once...! Sigh...inshaAllah i'll sort something out..

Do dua for me people
