Eyes

Last night, S took pictures of all our eyes.  Just her, me, H, and Z.

Can you guess which eye belongs to each of us?

Random Happenings

Thursday: Pre-Eid

On Thursday, there was an akikah for someboddy's baby. Coincidentally, it was the same day before Eid. So, after all the eating and most of the people left, me, S, and some of our friends helped decorate the masjid for Eid. We put up the lights is the musalla and the hall. We put streamers over the windows. It was very hard work. While me, S, R, and Keela were doing the lights in the hallway, Keela's brother Zak came and helped a little bit. He got a sticker (goat head) stuck in his sock and he told me to get it out because he was too chicken. Then he asked me if I got henna. I said not yet. But then I saw S getting it, and so I did too. After I got it, I continued with the lights. It was hard 'cause I didn't want to mess up my henna. My hair was all messy and I had to ask Ummi to tuck my hair back inside my tudong. When we were all done, we played in the musalla. R, Keela, and Keela's sister Nabeel were gliding and sliding in the musalla with their socks. Keela's mom took a picture of us (S, me, R, Keela and Nabeel). Then, we left. We went to Albertsons and bought some food for the visitors. We got ice cream, cookies, and Go-Gurt.

Friday: Eid

I woke up like a few minutes before Fajr and I was like wondering if I could go back to sleep or not. Then, after a while, I heard the water being turned on upstairs, and so I knew that daddy was awake. Then, I got ready t'go. I couldn't find the dress, btw, so I had to be tradishunal, much to your disappointment. Then, when we were all ready to go, we went outside. Ummi told us to stand in front of the garage so she could take pictures. We were all worried about the cars passing by and wondering why ugly people in nice clothes were standing in front of a garage like poor peeps, and a ninja was taking pictures of them. XD.

So then we went to the masjid. People were fillin' up the masjid like ants to crumbs. R wasn't there yet, and Mnr wasn't either. So we sat fatly, watching people hug each other and listening to the takbir. And watching the weird, smelly kids. Pretty soon R came in. Her clothes were so JUICY. They were white and turquoise with millions of sequins. Even her socks matched.

(Unfortunately, I couldn't find my pink socks, so I had to wear my blue ones, and they didn't match at all with my pink baju krong.) Then, it was time for the salat. Me and Z went to the kitchen so he could eat, and we watched R's mom Sry do an activity with the little kids. They watched Take Me to the Ka'aba. Then they played a game. Then, my long lost friends came late for the prayer. (Their names are Nr and Hb.) Then I took Z out to the playground.

Pretty soon the prayer was over, and people came pouring to eat. Me, S, and R played at the playground and talked about henna and stuff like that. While I was waiting for Ummi to be done talking and for Abi to be finished drinking tea or something, I sat in the van with the door open and listened to a nasheed that I recorded on my camera. :D Then we went home.

Sandy's dad was supposed to come to our house so we could follow him to the farm. He took like a million years. He finally came. He led us to  place where there were millions of potholes and loads of flying dust. At the farm, nobody was there to supervise us. We took a look at the sheep and the pigs (blech!) and the chicken chickens. There was this teenage chick that escaped from the coop by a hole in the wire door. Abi tried to get it back through the hole by opening it more and saying, "Sini, sini, sini!" But of course chickens don't understand human language, and Malay at that, so it just ran away in fright. Pretty soon all the men came and they chose some good sheep. The only sheep there that wasn't scared of humans was the big black one with big horns. Sadly, we slaughtered it. I took a video of the first sheep to be slaughtered. S thought it was sick and nasty. But me, I could watch without wincing a smidgen, like I said twelve posts ago. I was planning to take videos of the other ones being slaughtered but then I changed my mind.

Finally, after sitting in the van being cold, Abu Yaz (Sandy's dad) said to Abi, "You can go now, F. You have kids." And I silently said, "YAY! Thanks, Sandy's dad." and S chuckled. So we went home, and I slept on the way.
Abi and Ummi cut the meat for a long time. I saw Ummi smashing chicken with the flat side of the knife to make it look more appetizing, as that's how they do nasi ayam in Maleesia.

Then the guests started coming after Maghrib. Auntie Saleem and Kylie came first. Kylie had a broken arm because of his daftness. Then Amunay came. Amunay is one of the coordinators for the Muslim Girls Club. Amunay left early 'cause she was scared about leaving her kids (Suheidi, Lulu, and Yasser) at home alone. Kylie played with H violently. After a while, Muhee, Hal, and Akeely came. Then Tonio, Noha, and Mstfa came. Me, S, H, Z, Kylie, and Mstfa played on the carpet. Mstfa tugged H's hair and pinched Kylie's nose. It was hilarious. Then everyone started to leave. Muhee, Hal, and Akeely left first. Then Auntie Saleem and Kylie left. Lastly, Tonio, Noha and Mstfa left.

Saturday: Post-Eid

I was the first to wake up. The living room was all nice and yellow, and everything was silent. I ate some cookies. Then Z woke up and we made bracelets. Pretty soon Abi woke up and said, "Siap Z! We're going to Chucky!" I told Z to get ready, but he said he didn't wanna go. Pala HOTAK n'kau! (That's Malay. I dunno what it means, but mommy says it and it's funny.)

I ran into my room and said to S, "Wake up, S, if you wanna go da Chuck!"
I ran into H's room and said to H, "Wake up, H, if you wanna go da Chuck!"

Next thing I knew we were in the van driving to the mall. We played at Chucky Cheeses for a bit 'cause H had a soccer game at 1:00 or something. The first thing I played was a bowling game. Then I played a football game.  I was slightly good at it. Then I put two tokens in a basket ball game that was broken and I had to ask the people to get it out.

All too soon, we three used up all our tokens. Boohoo! We fed our tickets to the ticket thingy and got prizes, then left.


The End.

5:34 PM

I can't find my Eid dress that I want to wear! And it's really nice looking, too. It's pink and red. The sleeves are pink with red dots and the skirt is ruffly and the rest is pink with red roses. I can't find it anywhere in the house!! I wore it last year and now I can't remember where it could be. I remember it lastly when it was outside with mom's and dad's laundry. So I think it is in their room. I looked in it but I can't find it. What a pity, too. If I don't find that one, I'll have to be tradishunal and wear a baju kurung that I got in Malaysia two years ago. That still fine, but I'd much rather find the dress. I wish someone would help me find it.

I'm bored. My camera is in my pocket right now. Today we went to Walmart after tennis. Interesting, right? Very. In fact...I have an idea. Be right back.


1:40 PM

I'm back with the camera USB cable. Now I'm taking my camera out of my pocket...I'm turning it on...I'm deleting some pictures...

1:45 PM

I'm done deleting all of the beautiful pictures of myself. Now I'm inserting the USB into the camera...and into the computer...everything is loading...Now the pictures are importing to the computer...it may take a while, so be patient. Catch you later.

1:53 PM

The camera is almost done. 19 items remaining...

Just finished my ice cream while selecting the pictures. Now I'll just paste them here in the post.

PICTURES!!! What a great word.

Ugh. The picture is too big. I'll have to resize it. Aarrrgh.

Firefox crashed. Now I'm on a different computer. It is 4:26 PM. The pictures are uploading. It's much easier on a computer than a laptop. Roughly about 20 more pictures.

11 more items remaining...

89 of 93...That was pretty quick!

The pictures are ready! Now I can post them here.. The first two were taken Friday night.

MASK MANIA!

New Blog Title!

S has picked what I wanted her to pick! (Besides her nose.) She chose the blog title 'N's Voice'. That's exactly what I wanted! So sit back and enjoy the changes!

Blog Changes

I'm kind of getting tired of 'The Extremely Amazing Brain of N' as my blog title. First of all, it's kind of way too long, and second of all, brain is kind of a sick word. So what do you pick out of these choices?

1. N's Voice
2. My Voice
3. Diary of a Muslim Girl
4. Lightning Strikes
5. N's De-LIGHT-ful Diary

Use the comment box. I have no other options.

Sorry to DISAPPOINT you, H. If you still want your blog to be exactly like mine...you know what to do.

Inchworms!

We were out of town for ELEVEN days, not ten days. Ummi keeps telling that to everybody. But it's 11 days. I counted. Proof? We left on Friday. Then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and lastly, Monday. Count all that and you'll get eleven. I guarantee it.

Anyway, last week on Saturday, I went with Ummi, Abi and Z to the Farmer's Market. (This was the day before I got my camera and betta.) So, like, we shopped there, and I bought cotton candy. Then we went to Shahit's store, and then we went to Auntie Saleem's house to get our plants back. Auntie Saleem wasn't home, so we raided and took back our plants. :D There were about four or three red tomatoes on my plant. I got excited when the bell pepper plant got loaded in the van, 'cause that's where I saw the two caterpillar eggs. While we were driving home, Ummi told me to look for caterpillars on the bell pepper plant. There weren't any. However, when we got home, Ummi was watering the plants, and S was peering at the big carrot plant pot. Suddenly...she found an inchworm!!! I thought it was a green grappler, because of the way it moved, but it just seemed to be another old inchworm. I looked harder and found another one! We put these two in Neptune old terrarium. Later that day, they were GONE.

Another day, I found another one. I put it in a jar along with some carrot leaves. Later I found a cocoon around it, along with some turds.

UltraViolet, or UV

My fish, UV, is way more healthier and active than Sunset ever was. But here's the annoying thing about UV. Whenever I come in my room to look at him, he gets all scared and hides under the bridge. Then he turns around and peeks out. It's really annoying. I've got a video of it, I think.
He's getting better and doesn't have to fast anymore, so I can feed him soon. Speaking of fasting, today I'm fasting for one of the Zhul Hijjah days.

Here is a description of UltraViolet:
BODY: Purple and blue
FINS: Purple and pink
FACE: Red
Sounds nice, huh? I still haven't settled on the name yet. My fish is a Veiltail Male.

Here's a description of Z's fish, Cloudy:
BODY: White with blue and black eyespots
FINS: White
FACE: White and pink
Beautiful, right? Z's fish is a Plakat male. We think it glows in the dark, but it doesn't.

Here's a description of S's fish, Iceblaze/Sharkbait:
BODY: Blue, red, white, and purple
FINS: Purple, blue, and white
FACE: Mottled white-ish yellow
Blagh. It's a Crowntail Male. It's all flowy-finned and fancy, like a king. No wonder it's a Crowntail. And S keeps saying it's CUTE. Huh. Even a baby betta's cuter than that old thug.

Evaluation, Hi-Skewl, and more

~The Speech Evaluation~

a Story by N

On Wednesday I had my speech evaluation, the same day S had to go to the High school for a test to see how much she smelled. JK. Right after fajr I had to take a bath and get ready to go. My Mammals Class was at 7 am, and it was 6:30 or so, so I had to rush. After I took a bath and all, I took my class. I was takign the second quarter of the class. Some of the students from last time were not there, but most were. Then, suddenly, the teacher was gone. Everybody was all in chaos, and, to not waste time, one of my friends became the teacher by asking the kids about their favorite mammals and all.Then, like half an hour later, the teacher came back. She said her internet just went out!! LOL. Not. So then, class proceeded, and then we had to go. I was supposed to pack my books last night so as to not waste time, but I was kind of tired, so I didn't do it. What do you think happened? Correct. Scolding. Not scalding. That would have been a possibility, though. So Ummi dropped me off at the place, and then went to the hi-skewl with S.

Fast Forward...

After the evaluation, Abi walked me back to his office. We stopped at Starbucks, where Abi got a drink for free because his birthday was two days ago. He got hot chocolate for me, and then we continued on our way to the office. Question: Why did I choose to drink hot chocolate on a hot day? Well, the evaluation room was cold, so naturally I would want to steam myself a little with the drink.

In the office, Abi passed over the Cookie Crisps cereal and said, "Here, your breakfast," because I told him that I hadn't had breakfast yet. *Sheepish* I drank my hot choc and it steamed my face and made a drop of sweat roll down my neck.

Then Abi gave me my schoolbooks, quite unkindly. :P I did some math, and then when it got boring, I read a book for Literature class.

This is how I sometimes do my math with finger food. If we have cherry tomatoes, I'll grab some and eat one after every question I finish. That's exactly what I did the with the Cookie Crisps cereal. ;D

Well, soon, Abi's phone rang. "Hi, Z!" said Abi.

Ugh, I silently thought. They's here to get meh.

(Speaking of ugh, do you wonder why some people say it like 'ukh' like the kha in Arabic instead of like gha?)

Abi finished the call and said, "They gonna be here in like faav minutes, Newr."

After faav minutes, he said, "I needa pee. Lezgo!"

Then he told me to siap. Boohoo! He put my books in a plastic bag and threw 'em in the trash. (I wish.) What he really did was that he put em in a plastic bag and kindly gave it to me. I wanted to take some last pieces of the cereal, but I didn't want Abi to say "Ehhh, Newr! Laaaa..." So we left the office and abi threw my hot choc cup in the trash, instead of the books. Boohoo!

When we was downstairs, Abi ran into the bathroom and told me to go outside and sit on the bench to wait for Ummi. I read the Redfearn book. It was kinda hard 'cause the sun was right on top of my head. Pretty soon Ummi come driving by, and beeped badly. That's when Abi came out. "Did you see yo' mom?" he said. "Yeah, she just passed by," I said, pointing for no reason at the empty road. Eventually Ummi meekly came driving back. I clambered into the front seat and put the plastic book bag at my feet. After Ummi and Abi discussed some things, we went to the high school to pick up S.

Bwahhahhaaa.

We went in a building and saw S in the first room sittin' at a desk. She seemed to be looking right at us. I grinned, but I guessed she was too scared to grin back. Who would grin for no reason in class, anyway? A weirdo, that's who. Soon S was done and she came out. When S was opening to door to go, her hands were so cold, compared to my sweaty ones.

S said she was hungry. I told her how I got my hot choc, and she said, "Lucka." And then I told her how I got to eat the cookie cereal. "Aww," she said mournfully.

When we got home, H showed us a movie he had made on the iPad about his science project. It was SO interesting.

While I made lunch, I saw some pancakes on a plate next to the stove.  I took one and kindly gave it to S, because she was hungry. After lunch was ready I yelled, "It's lunchtime!"

"Yay!" said S.

The end.
