Maher Zain - The Chosen One (Al Mukhtar)

My favorite song of the album has finally been made into a video and I have to say what a beautiful video. It truly is in perfect sync with the song/lyrics!

The song - The Chosen One - is inspired by Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Maher Zain and Awakening Records felt they had to respond after the recent attacks on prophet Muhammad through cartoons and facebook. The result is this music video. It's a small token in portraying the true character of our beloved Prophet Muhammad.

I always get goosebumps no matter how many times I listen to this song!

A video about Ramadan

I really liked this video and thought I'd share with who ever would be interested.

The video truly tackles most of the bad aspects we might put ourselves into during this holy month. He sends out good messages in a interesting and funny way and let's hope we and every other Muslim who watches the video learns that truly the holy month of Ramadan is a blessing!

Lazy Updater

I've been wanting to update this place since forever (I've got a couple of things in mind). I even clicked on the "new post" button a couple of times and I type one line but end up ditching it. Anywho, I've finally pushed myself to update! Talk about being a big lazy lol

:: I can say that I'm officially done with University....FOREVER (inshAllah!) but I do have my final year project report to complete which is not a biggie' because it's almost done. In the end, I can't believe I'm fully finished with uni. Four years just gone like that *snaps fingers* It went really fast and I have to say it's going to be weird not going to uni everyday, sitting in the lab where I find my mates and kind of get stuck there for the rest of the day working on assignments. Epic days! The labs were my second home. I'm going to miss these days and the people that were a part of them...and I'm also going to miss Bongo (best Sushi shop in the whole of Hamilton FYI) *tearing*

Last Sushi lunch for Sarz (she's leaving for Oman tomorrow): taken today.

:: I'm back to being a movie-holic/freak which I'm happy about, because this semester was very tough so I had lost this freakishness about movies. On Saturday is when I finally got the chance to rent some movies;

• Fight Club (Action)
• Super Bad (Comedy)
  
• The Exorcism of Emily Rose (Horror)
  
• Definitely Maybe (Drama/Romance)
  
• The Lookout (Thriller)
  
• City Hall (Thriller)
  
• Australia (Drama/Romance/War)

I'd be happy to take any suggestions, since I'm running out of movies to watch.
I have a feeling "City Hall" might get a nice review from me...so will see how that goes.

:: I should be getting back to my Web Design/Development job soon (after I hand in the final copy of my report) which I can't wait for because I really miss it. *Nerd alert* Honestly though, I really did miss it. One more website left to create for my client and I'll be done. Hopefully I'll be finished before we head back to Oman.

:: So we booked tickets for Oman on the 16th of December. I honestly can't wait to get back! Our stuff is getting sold and our house is getting emptier slowly *Yay*

:: Sarz suggested that I take on the 365 Project, where you take a picture of something that explains your day in one line "story". It sounds interesting and fun, plus I've gotten into photography lately so it's bound to give me good practice. I haven't decided when I'll start. I guess I'm just waiting for the "right picture" lol

:: Lastly, I've discovered that most of the videos I favorite on Youchube (intended) are acoustic (I love this word) covers of some of my favorite songs. Just the other day, I found a fantastic cover of Outlandish's beautiful song "Aicha" done by some Indonesian guys. One is playing the guitar and another is playing the beautiful Oud. So one can just imagine how amazing (IMO) it would sound. I LOVED IT! It's completely instrumental. What's awesomer is you can totally make out the tune. Perfect-o!

Listen to that Oud ♥

Watching this video made me want to learn the song (I think I tried before but it was hard) on my guitar and learn to play the Oud also! *crosses hands*

Suheir Hammad - Def Poetry

Okay! So I had to share this because this video is one of those videos that just moves you powerfully. This young women is amazing and her words are just...*cannot think of a powerful word to describe the words*

Honestly, I'm amazed and happy by this. No matter how many times I watch it I still get fascinated and moved by it like it's the first time I watch this video.

A must see!

Thanx to Sarz for sharing this with me! <3

[Music] Pillar - Rewind

Wow! I'm so into this song at the moment.
Very beautiful, soft, smooth but sad; lyrics, music and voice wise!

Absolutely beautiful.

Music: Staind - Nutshell (Acoustic Live)

I keep falling more and more in love with this person's voice/music. He's seriously one of the top favorites. I've recently discovered this song while looking through some person's channel on youtube (such a good channel...so many songs of different alt. rock bands) and I've just been listening to it for the past 2-3 days.

Great song, great voice, nice but sad lyrics...

We chase misprinted lies
We chase the tracks of time
And yet, I fight
And yet, I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Oooh...oooh...
Oooh...oooh...
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet, I find
And yet, I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Oooh...oooh...
Oooh...oooh...

A heavenly sachet!

After "quitting" coffee for almost 2 years - due to it being un-healthy *yeah right* and how it affects me heavily - I'm addicted and back to drinking it again >.<

I blame Memento (a nice cafe at Uni) for making AMAZING Mocha!!! *Damn you Memento...but I love you xD*

I found this packet of amazing-ness at the super market yesterday and jumped for joy at the sight of it. It was off the shelf in no time and into my shopping basket <3

What's so cool about these sachets is, first, you don't need to do anything but add hot (not boiling - as instructed xD) water. Though I add a spoon of sugar just to sweeten it up a little bit. Second, you get the foam "effect" as well!!!! So when you drink it you get a dark-beige mustache xD

I can have cafe made coffee...AT HOME!!! xD

I know, I know...coffee is not good (bla bla bla) and we shouldn't drink it a lot. But damnation, the Mocha is just too damn good >.<

-----------

Here's G-chan for yah....blogging about coffee =S
Just show's how boring life is lately xD
Aargh...a 2 week mid-semester holiday is around the corner (5 days left)...I shall take revenge on uni (even though I love it) and it's evil assignments and projects, by being absolutely lazy and do nothing but have fun xD

Back to assignments -__________-

Masculinity Fail

Thumbs up to those 2 =D

mini update:

:: I'm being a super lazy person lately -_______-

:: My foot is still being a "freak on a leash"...meaning it hasn't healed -_____-

:: Learning to play "R-Evolve" on the guitar...and totally perfected "Never too late" *victory dance*

:: Work is going great...Inshallah it will be on-going even while I'm at uni. I'm going to be making 2 other website for my boss.

:: Uni starts next week Monday (2nd March)....*shivers* I'm so nervous about it and I kinda don't want to start studying xD But it's the last year (4th year of my degree) so YAY to that!!! *cries* Hope it will be a great year!

:: I have to sort out a really really important....let me call it "issue", before uni starts. So hopefully it goes well ^_^

:: Ok this might come as a shock but I've just started listening to "The Scorpions" (a good friend just recently told me about them), and what can I say this band, I like them a lot. Their music is great (WHAAAAT O.O at the guitar work <3)! Their lyrics and vocals are great and nice! So I...e7m e7m...downloaded one of their albums yesterday "Humanity Hour 1"...been listening to it heeps.

:: I learned the steps (I didn't actually cook it) for how to cook Maqlooba today <3 (1000x). It's my number 1 favorite dish! <3
