End of A Short Week

I did not expect that holiday in my first week in ZU! I was disappointed because of it, I did not believe that I’m back to get this unexpected surprise. The thing that makes me feel good about this holiday is a religious reason, it’s “al Esra w Al Me3raj” a holy memory in all Muslims thoughts and minds.

Tuesday was fun especially in my English class. Mr. D showed us a picture and asked us to describe it and tell how we feel about it in 200 words. It was so fun!! I liked the idea and I started writing and writing … I wrote about 360 words.

I have to face 3 days without ZU and not really that much homework for the first week. When I got back home it was 6 pm, and I had another surprise waiting for me. I went as usual to greet my granny when… I found out that we have visitors! My granny 2 sisters came to visit. I was so shocked but happy, it so funny seeing old women arguing about life.

My grandma is so nice to me when her sisters are around. I know that she like this kind of visits but when it comes to my mom’s relatives she just become a volcano!

As I always say: I will survive

And So It Begins....2

I also met some new teacher and started my social “skills” with them. Some of them are interesting characters others are hard to deal with. My knew friends who I met are so nice and quiet; they are both from GE and readiness who are my old friends’ friends.

Of course I can not live without people teasing me. Even in my first day, when I was giving a tour to one of my new friends …. I saw Mr. Dn in the way and my old friend who was with us kept teasing me about him. She once said that she is afraid that I may faint of happiness in my first day in front of Mr. Dn… but thanks to my God nothing like that happened.

Those first days were so nice so far and I am looking forward to the rest of them..

And So It Begins....1

I can not believe yet that I’m in my way to ZU for the third time! Today is Monday and I’m quiet! Is it because of my training test of Arabic today? I don’t think so but I know that I am not very well… maybe I will be better when I’m in ZU..

My first day was quite interesting; I was the only girl who was glad to be back! Yes I missed that atmosphere and I was scared that it might be one of my dreams but It was not. I met my old friends and I met some new friendly friends too.

I already met 3 of my teacher my Arabic teacher Mr. R, my ways of knowing teacher Ms. S and my English teacher Mr. D … I know those two from the readiness last year and I’m glad that they did not forget me. My first classes were nice but I know that I must not be so happy about them because I know that they will be tough and I have to do my best to get grades which I deserve.

In The Last Days.... Thursday

In the next day, m granny called saying she want me back at home before 7 pm!! What is this!! Even Cinderella was allowed to leave her prince’s party at 12!!!

I made it at 6:43 pm and my granny was happy to seem though she had a fight with me in the other day. I went to my room to organize my stuffs when I heard my cell phone ringing. I looked at the screen and it was my uncle Y!! I picked it and I was full of joy… I was shocked when he told me the he is coming with 2 of my aunts and a cousin.

I started to look for something to wear and I found a new shirt. He called again saying that he is at home , I asked him to go to the Majels since he know his way by now…

I knocked at the door. And I saw 4 people, I greeted all of them and after hugging my aunt – the one who I did not meet before- she said “wait a second”… before asking way she cut that piece of paper with the price on it out of my shirt’s back!! And WOW!! How was the embarrassing!

As usual I was so happy to meet 2 more new people in my family – a cousin and an aunt-. After they left I decided not tell anybody about the visit… I don’t need more complications but I as wrong.. half an hour later my Dad called asking who came to visit… I did not know what to say I just said “who?” “I saw a white car standing out … who came to visit?” I told him the truth and he was not really happy about it…

In The Last Days... Wednesday

2:41 am in the morning, the last morning in this holiday. The last day had BEGAN!!! I don’t think that there is any other person who is as excited about the university as I am. Sometime I think that I am crazy!! But I believe I am not

Wednesday was fun. I went with my aunt to the hospital in order to check on my glasses before wearing them and they were alright. My aunt said that she may go to Sharjah and of course I was the first one to agree – I told dad for sure-…. I needed a little more stuffs for the university….

We went out at 8 pm!! Because my aunt husband was busy at work.. I walked between the markets by my own. I wanted to be by myself and get over my scariness of guys. I bought stuffs I needed, I don’t like to waste money over nothing….

I spent around 2 hours shopping. It was about 10:15 pm when we left and we reached home at 11 pm. I spent the night in my aunt’s house, it was late to go back home.

I slept in the same room of my cousin and my aunt was with us. Then out of no where CRAAAAAAAAASH!!!! I opened my eyes and looked at the toilet’s door that sound came from there. I wake my cousin “F did u hear something”. She seemed annoyed and wanted to check but I did not allow her.

F woke my aunt up who was about to kill me … she asked me to go back to sleep. and I tried, but I felt my knees cold and shacking … any way…. I slept after all maybe around 4 am

Short Trip

“What! Purple frame!” was my reaction when my Dad told me about the color of my new glasses’ frame. He choose it without taking me to the glasses shop! But then, I felt like he wanted me to see it before he allow them to put the glasses … so…

He took me to that shop in UAQ. I saw the frame and… WOW!!! It was cool! It was not purple but violet my favorite color. I liked my Dad’s taste, I always had but I thought that his taste is not as good as before when he told me about that purple frame…

Then we went to another shop to get my new “3abaya”. I went there alone – in the past I did not dare to a shop alone-. When I asked about it, Indian man started looking but he did not find it!!! here and there, up and down but nothing!! he called the rest of his friends..

My Dad get bored and he came to the shop… He does not like to waste time over nothing so when I told he that they did not find it .. he did not like that. After more moments they found my 3abaya but after they turned the shop upside down.

This trip did not last more than 20 minutes. For my dad it was not for fun but it was a “BUSSINESS TRIP” as he called it. He took me back home and asked me to make a pizza for dinner instead of walking .. very well, what can I say .. I had fun

Dream, This time....

I was so happy when I found out the Mr. G replied finally to his blog. I guess this explains the dream I had last night, in those days I have more special dreams maybe because I am getting closer to the university. but I did not have a dream about Mr. G till last night….

I was standing somewhere and I guess it was a port! I looked around and I saw someone familiar!!! “Mr. G!!!” I screamed he was with his wife – who I did not meet before- and without his children…

After greeting him, I wanted to carry 2 of his bags but he allowed me just to carry one a really light one. I remember talking to him but I don’t know about what. Then I saw Ms. C and Mr. T!! Ms. C smiled at me while Mr. T went to greet Ms. S. when Mr. T passed by me I said “Hi T!!” he gave me a death glare then went away!!!

I looked at Mr. G but there were no reaction in his face! He was unusually cold!! When I looked behind I saw Mr. W, He whispered good morning to me! I felt like I was not welcomed in that place … when I wake up it was the first time I thank my God that it was ONLY a dream..

The surprising thing is that Mr. G asked me couple hours ago if I had a dream about him.. so Sir if you are reading, this what I had last night.. every time you visit me in my dreams… I find myself rejected from everybody!!

If All My Days Were Like Today....P2

While I was digging around the house at 7:13 pm, my cell phone rang and it was my uncle Y! He called saying that he is in Ajman and asked me if he can come and visit before heading back to RAK. I was so happy and said “sure you can!! But don’t drive quickly, I need to get ready!”

I run to my room and took a shower. Then I started pulling clothes out my closet WHAT TO WEAR WHAT TO WEAR!!! Then I found that beige skirt and shirt. I went to the kitchen and made some tea, and some fruit..

I asked the maid to bring the stuff to the Majles. Then he called!! saying he lost the way, well, my job was to guide him and I successes… around 7:40 pm they were here!!! My uncle Y and Uncle M’ 3 doughters – my cousins-

We sat in the Majles and we started talking about school, preparations to the university, chickens, goats … we did not leave anything. It was fun, I felt so happy that they came to visit but I hated the moment when they say that they should leave …

We said our goodbyes, and they went. I wanted to cry, I don’t know why… is it because I found a new family cares for me?? Or I don’t like it when people leave my side? Or maybe because I can’t wait to see them again… but I know that I will miss them..a lot…

If All My Days Were Like Today....P1

I could not sleep very well … because my Dad installed ADSL cable and I was free to use the internet tell 2 am ….

Of course when I wanted to install it to my laptop, it did not work, after 1 hour of falling I called Etesalt and I asked them for help and they did … I needed another hour to make my laptop connected to the internet FINALLY at 12:30 am!!!

Next morning which mean today … I wake up because my bro M who was having a huge discussion with my Dad about his university … when I managed to go back to sleep my grandma was having a massive fight with the maid!! I thought things could not be worse but..

My aunt showed up and then started to bother me. I wanted to sleep but that was it!! I woke up realizing it was 12:14 pm!!!!

Pity!! Not Real...

I fed up of counting the days, 15 days left and I just can not wait to get to ZU. Almost every night I have a dream about being there … I hate it when I wake up and find out that I was in my fantasy world. Last night….

I was walking and I found myself looking at J building, I smiled at the sight. I went in from the sliding doors. I looked at my right side and saw Mr. Dn’s office door open.. he was talking to his assistant S and Mr. W was there looking at some papers..

I went straight a head and I saw Ms. J giving a lesson in room J015. I went to the small doors near the stairs and I got out from the building. I saw Mr. D.P. drinking coffee in the coffee bean and in another table was Mr. J with headphones as usual…

I smiled at myself saying “I really missed this atmosphere” … I made my way to the cafeteria but I did not reach it, I wake up finding that I was only dreaming I hate to wake up in a middle of a nice dream but what can I do but be patient and wait…

An Enjoyable Day -- Mysterious Call --

I arrived home at 7:00 pm and thanks to God nothing serious happened. I went to my room to organize my stuffs when my cell phone rang and it was a strange number. I hesitated to answer but ….

“Eslam 3lekom?”
“…… w3lakom eslam” Oh my God! A man’s voice!
“Who is talking?”
“ I wanted to ask the same question.. who are you!”
“Excuse me bro but I guess that you dialed a wrong number”
“no I did not, I know you”
“What? But I don’t know you!”
“come on this is me… your uncle!!”
This time my jaw dropped but I was happy “uncle A??” “NO” “Then Uncle Y?” “YES!!”..

I was so delighted that my uncle – 21 years old- called me. I started chatting with him and he noticed that I am happy – well, SURE I was-. He said that he wanted to trick me and say that he is a stranger who wants to know me. He changed his mind after finding how scared I was. I assured him that he can call me whenever he wants …. That was just, so amazing …. I mean my uncle who I knew for a bout 2 weeks did not forget me, I was really flying without wings…

An Enjoyable Day -- Relaxing --

I decided to stay at my aunt house so I called my granny and Dad who agreed saying that I have to be at home when the sunset. I spend a nice time with my cousins and after having lunch I lied on my aunt bed and I turn on the TV – WOW I did not see one for a while- I did not find anything exciting so I gave the remote control to my cousin F.

I was about to fell a sleep when I heard her “I guess you were looking for this channel. “OH MY 7AMOODY!!” I screamed when I saw Jared Padalecki … well, I thought it was him but I was wrong. I slept till 5:57 pm, I don’t like the feeling of sleeping too much.

My aunt called her husband and asked him to come and take me home. He was busy at work so he said that he may delay. Around 6:30 pm my father, granny and granny’s sister did not stop calling and demanding me to go back home! I felt sick!! Why?? It is not a big deal to stay for a little longer in my aunt’s house!

An Enjoyable Day -- Hospital & Shopping --

“Maryam is still a sleep” … I heard my granny talking in the phone, I looked at my watch… 7:27 am … WHAAAAAAT!!!! I went running to my room to get changed, I was supposed to meet my aunt at 7:30 am to go to the hospital. At 7:34 am I was ready…

I called aunt A who arrived at 7:50 am. When I went out I saw a red a car standing near the supermarket – I LOVE red cars!!!-. Besides, I was wearing red shirt WHAT A MORNING!!

I met the doctor who remembered me and started checking my eyes and said that I need new glasses. Not a lot of people were in the hospital in that time so I stayed around hour with her. I did not like it when she put that shinning light through my eyes…

We went to visit one of my granny’s friends. She is a really nice old lady completely different than my grandma. My aunt did not want to go home, I suggested that we can go for a walk near UAQ markets and we may find something to buy. We kept walking for around 2 hours and I bought some stuffs.

My eyes opened wide when I saw something familiar the same red car which I saw near my house earlier .. wow a great coincident!

Movies Night

I was so happy when I saw the newest movie for Tom Cruise with my younger bro A last night. “War of the Worlds” I heard a lot about the success of this movie but I did not imagine watching it so soon!! My bro brought from his friend who bought it…

The movie was cool but disgusting blood and stuffs were everywhere. It story reminded me of a book I read in ZU’s library “The White Mountains”. We finished watching it at 1:00 am and I was about to go to sleep – I was planning to go to the hospital in the next day to check my eyes- when…

“After action we move to horror” this sentence from my bro attracted me attention. I don’t like horror movies but I just wanted to see its terial. “House of Wax” was the title. While watching the terial I recognize two actors Chad Michael Murray “A Cinderella Story” and Jared Padalecki “New York Moment” who is by the way one of my favorite young actors – I gave him a nickname “7amoody” and I have my reasons –. Because of him, I decided to watch the horror.

It was funny and exciting from the beginning but the shocking thing was that Jared -7amoody- was the first one to die!!! For me his death meant that the movie is over but I wanted to watch the rest. It was not THAT scary and it reminded me with movies like “Scream” & “I Know What You Did Last Summer” which we see victims get killed one after another.

I was so happy to watch this movie with my bro. We have not see a movie together for a long time. I went to bed at 3:00 am, and I wake at 7:27 am but that is a different story

Unusual Dream!!

I believe that I MUST write about my last night’s dream because it was kinda the first night which I don’t have a dream about the university as I usually do….

I was sitting in a room at home; when I looked throw the window I saw 5 cars standing in the hall 2 red – I LOVE red cars- and 3 white. I heard a noise, a lot of people where in the living room and talking to my grandma for a reason I did not go out to greet them – I did not see them before in my life-.

My granny came inside the room and said “you are engaged!!” WHAT!!!! I don’t know if I was exactly happy but I know that I was only shocked and I did not say anything. She did not even ask me about my opinion, all she said that he is a good guy.

When they were about to leave I opened the door to have a look at them. Then I caught him – my groom-!! Looking and grinning at me! I blushed and looked at the floor.. he said “Hi sweetheart! How are you doing?” “fine” I said without looking at him. His brother was with him and said “Man! She looks nice!”- his brother looked like one of my uncles!-… when I looked at him again he was still smiling but …. He looked familiar like I saw him somewhere before…

I found myself making some coffee for an old woman; I believe she was his mother. I felt like she was not pleased about me…

Somewhere far, I saw someone sitting with his hand on his cheek and crying in pain. He was crying because I was getting married and my brother was patting him on the back in comfort. I knew who that guy was..

I told my aunt who said teasing “is there are anybody in your life” “NO!! don’t be silly!” that is true…. But why did I have such a dream.. it was weird

Great News -- Only in My Case--

Yesterday, I called my old high school friend K. we were neighbors before coming friends. She is afraid of not passing level 8 but I told her that she will do just fine if she works hard. She told me a rumor about Westlife! She said that one of them Shan Fellin died!!! I was shocked – I just hope it’s not right-.

Then I asked her if she know when we are going back to the university. She said that she called the university and they told her in 27th of Aug!! I could not believe it, I heard that we are going to start in 3ed of Sep!

I was so happy and to confirm it, I asked my friend Sara on the MSN if she know.. She checked and said that what I heard was true! She was sad but I was happy FINALLY I will be there soon enshallah. I felt sorry for her and to everyone who likes vacations but I can’t help it … I just love the university!

So 27th of Aug is my date, I can’t wait to be there again … I survived the last 6 weeks and I can survive 2 more….

Gentle Kindness

Last Friday, I called my aunt and asked her if she can take me shopping in UAQ. She agreed saying jokily “OK we will go to find a husband for you”- if you want to know what is the story of finding a husband read my blog “And the Nightmare Begins”-. I found out that UAQ shops contain really nice stuff!!

I did not buy anything because I felt that there is something wrong with my aunt. When I asked her she said that she was feeling sick!! I opened my eyes wide I said “then why did you agree to take me shopping while you feel sick?”

“I felt pity that no one else but me can take you out!”. I was so happy that she is concerned about me but I asked her to go back home. She insisted that she was fine and took me to Lolo center. I did not find anything to buy but she wanted to buy something for her family. I helped her rolling the trolley.

I got back home without buying anything, I was glad to be at home because I was worried sick about my aunt and I wanted her to have rest. She is OK now… and what a relief!!

With Them :)

Yesterday I went shopping with my Dad and his children in order to get ready for our school. I was so excited because its something related to the university. Besides, I did not go shopping with my cute little family for a long time now…

We left my grandma with my aunt – it is so east for my granny to get scared-. We went to Sharjah and the traffic was so annoying! We went to the central Shops in Sharjah where my bro bought most of his stuff for his university while the other one did not buy that much… I did not buy that much either, I don’t know what exactly happened but I did not feel like buying anything..

We really had a really nice time and I chatted with my Dad, my bros did not say that much .. but at least they were listening. My father is such a weird driver, his speed reached 120!! And I could not believe that, he usually don’t speed that much. I knew that he went back to normal when his speed reached 25, ONLY 25…

At 10:30 pm we were at home … my aunt was still there, but she soon left. My granny was angry and did not talk to us – nothing new that happens all the time- but after moments she gave us a lecture about being late … again..

I went to my room to get changed and …. I heard a hard knock on my window!!! My blood froze in my veins … I could not move then I heard it over again and again. I got changed quickly and I went running to my granny room – I sleep there- I saw my bro but I did not say anything

Next morning, I told my Dad about that he laughed and said “you were scared?? Those were only birds!!” … aha! Then I guess that I get scared over nothing, oh well, I guess that get scared quickly …

Fictions!

Reading fictions became on of my joys of life. Especially from that site that I always visit www.fanfiction.net. Some of the writers are really talented, they write in a really good way. Some of them use simple language and others use complicated one but still … their stories are amazing…

Yesterday, was the first time for me to read a whole long fiction with 23 long chapters! Usually I ready maybe 9 or 10 but yesterday was a special case.

“On the Ice” is one of the stories which I will never forget, sure I read better than this one like “Weeping Willow”, “Lost Memories of My Love” and others.

I hate to wait for the writer in order to update, so I read that old story which published in 2003. “One the Ice” a drama/romantic story talks about a 2 bright stars in skating, Squall and Rinoa, who fall in love and face some complication with there old partners, Seifer and Qusitis.

The story gets so complicated when Qusitis, Squall’s old partner, hurt Rinoa’s leg in order not to allow her to take part in the competition with Squall (Seifer is involved by the way).

Squall did his best to support Rinoa all the way till she was able to walk again. The story was so nice and it touched my heart even though there were some nasty actions. I loved it, I was reading it from 8 pm till 2 am this morning.

I guess that I will write about every story I complete in that site, maybe one day I would feel like reading them again... and this is the link to the story

Interesting Meeting -- Not Perfect-- 2

I had a really nice chat with them especially my uncles who were really funny. The younger between the two was 21 years old! And he looked like he is a troublemaker but still nice. My aunt showed me some pictures and videos form my uncle’s wedding which was really nice… I wished if I was there. Then my aunt took some pictures of me and my little bro A – who joined us later- But M was no were to be seen, he went to meet his best friend – I feel like this friend of his become a part of this family-.

They stayed only for half an hour then they were off to Sharjah. I was so delighted to meet all those people. The last fact I knew is about my youngest uncle … he is only 19 years old! Almost the same age of mine… I wish to meet him and meet the rest of my family.

My grandma did not like their visit; she did not bother herself to greet them. It is obvious that she don’t like them at all but why? Why doesn’t she like my entire Mom’s family? The most painful thing she said was about my uncles who visited …. She said “are you sure that they are you uncles not someone else!”….

I don’t care really, those are my family and I have the right to know them.Till this moment I met 4 uncles, 7- I met 3 before- aunts and 7 more to know. I know it will be tough besides my cousins who I did not met yet….

Interesting Metting -- New Family-- 1

1st day of August was a very pleasant day for me. The first reason is, after about 1 month I will be back to ZU and leave this boring holiday. I really missed that place; I did not stop missing it since I started this holiday…

The second reason – the important one- is about meeting members in my family who I did not meet before. My aunt H - who visited me last week with my uncle- told me that she is going to Sharjah and she will stop by me to say hi with one of my uncles and aunts.

When she was in the way she called again saying that she is coming but with more people. I knew that I was about to meet people who I did not meet before. For that, I kept looking at the mirror every two seconds. I wanted my NEW family to have good impression of me…

At 5:11 pm they arrived. I went to greet them and… WOW more than 10 people were standing in front of me!! I looked around them to see my aunt H, she was the last one to get out from the car. She greeted me and then she started introducing the new family to me.

Besides her, there were 3 aunts, 5 cousins – girls-, 2 uncles and one of my uncles’ wife – the one who got married recently-. I led them to the Majels, I was glad that there was enough room for all of them…

My aunt H asked me how I felt, I said in English “I’m flying without wings”. Everyone liked the phrase but I had to explain it to some of my old aunts. My aunt H told me that there are more members who I did not meet yet….
