Costa Coffee


This is one of the famous cafe shop in Egypt besides Starbucks and others. It is an Italian cafe retailer. My family and I always go there for a nice hot chocolate or Cuppochino and for late night supper (coz here is no kedai mamak for teh tarik or cendol!~). The price there is even cheaper than Starbucks, so it seem very obvious why we chose the cafe over Starbucks.


Ouch!!! my knees are killing me!!!

Eiks... my knees! Its really hurt:(
Actually, I started to feel the pain a week ago, its all started when Rifqa slept outside in the living room on the couch while waiting for me to finish my homework (English Literature, owh!). So, after I had finished my homework and cleaned up my mess (books apparently~), I tried to wake her up. However, she was really tired, and she hardly opened her eyes. I told her, "Rifqa, common and sleep in the bedroom," She just ignored me. I knew she was in a very deep sleep. So, I said to myself, " I can't let her sleep outside alone, if not she will be crying in the middle of night when she find out that she was sleeping alone in the living room, ". So, with the strength that I had that time, I had to carry her to the bedroom. Uh, she really heavy though! She weight almost 28Kg~ At first, I hardly felt anything after I carried her to bed. However, the next morning, after I woke up from sleep, I felt that both of my knees were really hurt as if they were knocked by a hammer! Knock...Knock...Knock

As the result from the pain, it effects my day in school. First and for most, in my P.E (Physical Education). Every Tuesday, we have our P.E with the Year 11 at the Sporting Club (FYI, I'm in Year 10). We have to run around a football pitch every time during P.E to warm up. Because of my pain on my knees, it made me fell more difficult to run. Besides, I even add the pain to my knees as we had to run around the pitch twice and had a football competition among us. That day, after came back from school, I straight away took my bath as usual and after I performed my pray and ate my lunch, I went straight to bed at about 6 o'clock ( thank goodness, I didn't have any homework that day). Quite early though~Hu Hu...I was really exhausted! It fells like it was a really long day for me! Not to mention my pain on my knees. The very next morning, I told my mom about my pain. She then asked my dad to buy me a pair of knee guard. I still have to wear them until now as I can still feel the pain. But, I'm actually feeling better right now. Alhamdulillah...

Jannah's 13th Birthday




First of all,
Happy Birthday Jannah~ Sweet 13 dear


I hope you are still my sweet innocent sister who I used to know, not to mention, annoying too (he he). Do be blossom as a wonderful servant to Allah, great daughter to beloved mama and ayah, helpful sister to the siblings, and last but not least, an excellent student in school.

Since yesterday was Jannah Birthday, my mom sent her a
bouquet of flowers to school. She was shocked. At first, Ms.Heba, our administrator, called her to the office. She said that someone had sent her flowers. So, she went there, and found out that my mom was the one who sent those beautiful flowers. Then, she ran up to the roof(the place where we supposed to be during break time) and told me all about it.

Its school time!

After about 2 months of holiday for the Eid Adha and Christmas, the school finally reopen again. Through out the whole 2 months time, I had to study to ensure that I am in the same track with all my new classmates. I don't want to be the only person who just got blur every time during lesson, again. Its so embarrassing! Its pretty hard though... Imagine I had to study for 9 subjects which they (my classmates) had learnt 4 months before me (the school academic year is quite different from Malaysia). At first, I found that its very complicated and difficult with all this balancing equations thingy, accelerations and some other things which at first I didn't have any clue. On top of that, all in English. However, as the learning goes on... I found it quite easy. I really do try to focus and get my head in the game. And, voila! Alhamdulillah, I managed to understand and master in Physics, Biology and Chemistry(the subjects which I most afraid of, coz Dr.B is the teacher). Not to mention, with the help from my genius parents and some push that they gave me. If not, don't ever wish I will open my book to study during winter. Its better for me to snuggle with a cute penguin in igloo :) Or, drink Hot Chocolate while watching television( watch romantic comedy movie would be nice, he he...) and covered myself with warm comfy blanky. Emm, its lovely! OK, that's all for now. I better get myself prepared to go to bed. NO!~ Tomorrow is school day. I hope it will turn as one of my lucky day!
