last few days in Sudan!

I have only a few days remaining to stay in Sudan, since am travelling on Friday morning to Egypt to attend a wedding. I am stressed and exhausted because I sleep late and wake up early!  shouldn't have left the family visits for the last days but am almost done. Am also excited to go to Egypt though I am aware of what is going on in there but I hope nothing goes wrong and we enjoy it there, the thing am most excited about is seeing my family and the wedding there anyways :D

Crazy times...

well you know when cousins join together and meet again after a long time some cousin mischief is bound to happen, just like what happened today when we were cruising around today in my cousin's car around Nile street. We went around with loud music and windows open, waving at everyone we see and shouting hello whether they were simply walking or driving. It was really nice when people interacted with us and waved back though some people gave us zero reaction, moved away, frowned or gave us a surprised/ confused look, but they are not to be blamed its not everyday that you see a bunch of strangers waving at you from a car. Nevertheless, we enjoyed seeing people with a smile drawn on their face simply because of us. One more thing I've realised today is that Sudanese people are actually cheerful and cool people because 80% of the people either waved back or smiled keeping a side the people who started clapping and racing us with their cars and all the stuff such. Therefore, we decided that whenever we all are bored we will go cruising in Nile street waving at random people.

Best Friends

This one is for the best friends, in fact this one is specially dedicated to my best friend, the one whom i love so much and rely on. we cant go a day without talking to each other. this is to the one who knows how to cheer me up when am down and make me smile when am sad. i just cant stop loving this person. and no matter how much and say it would never be enough to at least give back compared to how much i take. Even though  we tease each other and make fun of one another, we never feel bad or take it seriously. This person alone knows how much i am of a drama queen. The one who is always there to motivate me. The one I know I can always find when am in need of a person to talk to, the person who is ready to help me. The person whom even if I call in the middle of the night and would happily pick up, and even when a misunderstanding or a small problem we would come and speak normally next day and dont even have to apologise because we know it doesnt matter. To simply the most perfect person I know. The only person whom is aware of all my flaws yet accepts me the way I am. The person whom I love so much and would never stop loving and I just hope and pray to god i never lose.

I could just go on and on about this person but am not sure anyone would read that much. Though no matter how much I write about this person it wont be enough so I will just leave you with this much.

Sudan: adventures and experiences

Well most of the entertainment we have here in Sudan consists of restaurants and cafes, rare are the malls but we do have different sports clubs. Its just been 8 days in Sudan and I have already been to around 15 restaurants, some were really nice and their food tasted delicious and others were just horrible. I attended a Ramadan party in grand holiday villa hotel Khartoum; which was nice, there were stand-up comedians and a Sudanese singer, then we played billiards in the gymnasium of the hotel. We sat in a floating cafe in Nile river which was pretty interesting and we rode a boat as well. I met plenty of interesting people that i enjoyed the company of and the conversations held between us. Today, we went and swum in the German Sudanese Club, i personally like swimming, therefore i enjoyed and so far so good. My mom is coming on Wednesday with my other 2 brothers, and am enjoying it in here. After all there is no country like the one you were belong to and the one you were born in.

Sudan: Day 1

Waking up at 10 to get ready, took a bath, washed my hair, got dressed, applied the last touches and  carried my handbag heading to the airport with my Mom, Dad and brother and in no time i knew it was time to say good-bye to my mom already as i was only travelling with my dad and younger brother. walking to the gate and grabbing a few things from the duty free soon it was time for boarding the flight. boarded but had to wait for some time as some delay with luggage had happened. I used the time to text and call a few people who i really love and care about, not much after that the flight had took off and we were on air. My brother sitting next to me had watched a movie and had soon passed out while i killed my time by noting down somethings i want to do and wrote a post that would be posted soon, watched a part of a movie, listened to music, and meanwhile doing all that, i have been thinking about one person in particular. However, time had passed quickly and the 3 hours and half long journey has soon come to an end. Collected our luggage and went out, spotted my aunt and ran so fast and hugged her people were staring at us, but it was worth it because i haven't seen her in so long and i missed her so much. went back home had some rest, ate and all. went to relatives houses and wandered about in the streets of the country. Went back home and slept after 2 tiring days and woke up now and wrote this post to be put up on my blog.
and what better than coming back to your home country and meeting up with the great members of your family and friends.

A state of exhaustion!

Today, I've had a super long day with barely a few hours of sleep from last night since i was packing and all. Woke up early, helped in the kitchen as we had guests coming, got dressed walked all the way to my friend's house , well its not so far but the weather was extremely hot. Then went to the mall, walked all around and both a few bits and bobs and then bowling and billiards and walked even more and then came back home, did the last arrangements and packed my bag and took them to the airport to cargo them and get my boarding pass, just in case i go late to airport or anything, you never know what would happen and was standing for about two and half hours and now am back home. Having a flight to catch up with tomorrow at 12:00 pm and i have to wake up even earlier than that to get ready and what not ; i barely have  few hours left which i can rest in and so much to worry about. Less sleep and body pain, this is seriously the worst thing that could ever happen, to me this is even worse than having a financial problem and being bankrupt (sarcastically said.. no offence intended). just to prove am the worst person in time management and organisation, i am updating my blog than going to sleep, but well i love my blog more than sleep since like it my only escape. Nevertheless, Sudan, here i come and i will be sure to update my blog constantly and try  my best to do daily blogs of how my day went and all the new experiences and things like that. Woop , woop am excited which is making me less tired and i hope i dont get dark circles around my eyes after those two days !

Summer adventures: week highlights

this week mainly consisted of shopping, shopping and even more shopping as i am travelling on saturday. Nevertheless, I had a hangout with friends; well not school friends or people i know i took the adventure to go out with people ive never met, though they arent complete strangers because somehow my parents now their parents through work and what not, and they are here for vacation. However, as most of ou know am completely open to new experiences and adventures so i went out to spend a day with them and show them around the city, and surprisingly we all had a good time. My only concern was that i dont speak their language, so how are we going to communicate but fortunately they spoke english as well as i do and we were all able to enjoy our selves. We went to al majaz water-front and qasba, and since the two places were close to each other we walked from al majaz to qasba, after having a good get-together and had some drinks and desserts in a cafe. We then rode the eye of the emirates which was nice but not as exciting as it seems to be, after that we went to the rides area because we were accompanied by younger ones and they wanted to play. Later when it was about 10:30 pm we headed to nando's and had a good dinner and being the fun people that we are, when it was time to pay the bill, we asked the waiter what wold happen if we didnt have enough money and the poor waiter believed and went to ask his manager and the manager just said that they would let the person go get the money come back and if the person didnt come back its up to him. But we paid anyways and bonced had a little walk whilst talking and enjoying then it was around 12:30 am so we called the driver to come pick us up and b that the day was over and am really glad i took the time to meet such awesome people.

The spirit of the holy month :)

With beautifully decorated streets, happy families gathered, delicious food waiting to be eaten at sunset and the spirit of the holy month spread all around, i would like to wish you all my dear readers, friends, family and loved ones a very blessed Ramadan and as they say in Arabic "Ramadan Kareem" and may allah accept all your prayers and grant you good deeds in every step you take in life. and may this Ramadan be a month full of blessing, a month full of forgiveness and a month full of guidance for you and all your family insha'allah.

along with my thoughts

The title doesn't explain , but there isn't much to explain anyways, i felt the need to update my blog but didn't know what to write about because am constantly running out of ideas so i thought why not just start a new post and move along with my thoughts, and right now i don't even know where am getting with this but boredom-ness kills and am i don't want to die so i am killing time writing this post which probably makes no sense but this is what my life is about now. Am travelling soon so the tense of travel and shopping though i couldn't find much of the things i like; but am excited for travel and meeting my family, cousins and all my friends again. and who knows may be i will be courageous enough to do a few vlogs and outfits of the day posts (not sure about that, not a promise) though i promise there are many, many exciting posts to come , about places i will visit back in my home country and things such and i hope you will enjoy them.

i still don't think this post makes any sense but i still feel like posting it, you know why ? because its my blog and i can do whatever i want. (just jokes, am not so rude :D)
