Rollercoaster
Salaams,
This is like a re-ocurring theme, but again it's been a while since i have written anything. And from reading the last post, again quite a lot has happened...
Couple of weekends ago i did end up going to the Brazil Vs Argentina soccer (Bk..) game and it was really really good. Unfortunately some of the better players of Brazil were being rested but we did get to see an Amazing goal by Kaka and Tevez etc in action...i don't know if i saw enough to justify these guys being paid £100k+ a week though...The game was in the brand new Emirates stadium (home of Arsenal) and we ended up getting quite expensive seats as there was nothing else left so got a really good view of the game (alongside free half time drinks)
Anyway the theme of my life so far has ben training at work and revising for exams. This all came to an end...well was supposed to last week. The pass rate was 70% in all the exams and unfortunately i got a "marginal fail" in one of them so i need to resit it...it was quite a blow to be honest as i don't think i've ever "failed" an exam and so it was quite difficult to stomach, especially given that i had worked quite hard for it. However i'm trying to be philosophical as possible about it by saying you need random dissapointments in life to learn how to cope with it but also to make you feel more appreciaive of the good things.
Re teams at work, i ended up joining the Media team which is what i wanted from the very beginning (Rupert Murdoch watch out...) so i'm very excited and happy with this. I think i'll mainly be looking at publishing companies, but will also be covering companies like Reuters and Sky
Re the title of the entry, the last three weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster in terms of goings on with me...from the highs of getting the media position, to the lows of failing the exam with lots of other peaks and troughs in between...and so it's been quite difficult for everything to sink in as i think im the kind of person who needs time to deal with all the emotions which come with very good and then very bad news. so in some ways i've been feeling like a ping-pong ball in that one minute i'm over the moon and the next...i suppose this all shows the fragility of the human state of mind and how we should count our lucky stars with every blessing we have.
And talking of counting our blessings...Ramadan Mubarak...!! Yes Ramadan has started and as usual its done so on different days for people in the UK...Arhhhrhhrh.!!! when wil we sort it out...!
Speaking of that, Iftaar time is coming up so....
Salaam

Salaam.
Ramadan Kareem! Ramadan's started on THREE different days for ppl in the US this year, ruling out the possibility of even a coincidental united Eid. *sigh*
That's the right attitude to take re a failure. Work sincerely, make du'a and you'll cross the hurdle the next time, Insha Allah.
And remember all of us in your du'as. Let us use the month to try and get closer to Allah and His Garden.
