Friday, September 01, 2006. The schoolbus is the hardest part of them all. He tries to pull my shirt or headscarf off so he can escape the bus. It was very frustrating at first. He cried and screamed and tried to run away. We were quite an attraction. Even the security guards at my building would come to me and asked, "is the teacher beating your son at school? Oh my God.I was sooo embarassed. I explained to the guards (by the way.they're akram's favorites! Posted by laras @ 1:33 AM. A taste of home.

Tuesday, August 29, 2006. I must admit that I was spoiled as a child. I remember never having to do any chores around the house, not even washing my own dish after lunch or dinner. They were all taken care of. All I had to do was just ask, sit back and I would (almost always) get what I wanted. So I grow up not knowing some basic home survival skills (ouch! Scrub, scrub, squirt, squirt, brush, brush.and I was surprisingly happy with my own bathroom cleaning skill. It wasn't that hard after all. Unlike me...

Tuesday, June 20, 2006. Hitting the pool again. I used to love swimming a lot, but the lack of ladies only pool and not having my own private pool forced me to forget my hobby for awhile. Luckily, my wonderful husband found a nice apartment building with a pool on the roof and (this is the most important) exclusive timings for ladies and children. Yipeeee! So i put on my brand new arena swimsuit, cap, goggles, and enjoying the summer sun in the water. Posted by laras @ 6:49 PM. Monday, June 19, 2006.

Sunday, July 30, 2006. Or tea with milk. Today I had a cup while doing some school hunting for my son. And oh.down I went to memory lane where my beautiful enchanting childhood treasures are kept. Posted by laras @ 11:47 AM. Wednesday, July 26, 2006. I am gonna shine. JUST FOR TODAY (I AM GONNA SHINE). I will not worry what tomorrow will bring. Gonna try something new. Up through the state. Act like I got nothing to prove. Although I have the best intentions. Can't predict anyone's reaction. Be who I am.

Sunday, November 26, 2006. Au revoir l'ete, bienvenue l'hiver! How nice to finally say goodbye to summer, here in the UAE. I've been waiting for winter ever since I got here. It's really nice. The weather is perfect for spending the morning or afternoon out in the park or corniche. I walked alongside the buhaira corniche this morning and was really happy to see the seagulls flying above me (but they're not as noisy.I don't know why.Remember 'finding nemo'? I'm so ashamed of myself :P. Alhamdulillah, my s...

Sunday, October 29, 2006. Di televisi lokal Sharjah, setiap menjelang iftar selalu ada acara baca doa bareng dengan latar belakang orang-orang melambai-lambaikan tangan numpang masuk TV :) Saat maghrib tiba, tentara menembakkan meriam, baru deh Azan. Akram selalu menunggu-nunggu siaran menjelang iftar ini, sambil membalas melambaikan tangan (dia pikir orang-orang di TV bisa melihat dia 'dadah-dadah'.hehehe). Tadinya kita mau ngopi2 di hotel Emirates Palace,bagus banget hotelnya! Nggak sabar menunggu Rama...
