AHDAAF

music: Music Buzz
mood: Hit the Buzzzer

Every once in a while my girl friends and I develop an obsession with a game... It gets us all competitive and excited so we tend to play it religiously until we burn it out and finally everyone gets so sick of it that we actually, get nauseous at the mere mention of the game. Some of the games that have expired out include Singstar, Ghamza, Qot bu sitta, Hands, Trix, Bluff, Spades but our ultimate recent obsession is the Buzz Quiz SHOW It involves alotta general knowledge questions and the fact that you have these odd looking buzzers for each player makes it feel like you're on a real on air tv game show !!! i liiiiike! hehehe i wonder what it must feel like for ppl who appear on live tv game shows its so nerve wrecking i think if i had to be on one i'd faint right then and there on air ! heheheheheh elmuhim i've come to the conclusion that my brain retains alotta nonsense facts such as the fact that the ace of base band members are siblings, and that a cobra snake is the most poisonous reptile ! errrmmmm ! i think another few weeks and buzz will buzz off too ! ehhehe trends are so brutal don't you all agreee....

Next Up Ahdaaf! my new freelance job for an indoor football facility with the best FIFA approved astro-turf fields situated in AlQouz.. yup the hubby n the boys are starting up their very own Emirati business.. yuppeee the ball is finally rolling...Aaand yours truly has been assigned with the branding development from A-Z. Considering i've resigned from my previous full time job as a graphic designer with Dubai eGovernment i am loving developing corporate identities for various different clients at present in the comfort of my design studio at home. I must admit that heading my own freelance graphic design company has its own perks such as, being able to work according to my creativity outbursts and not being forced to be productive between 7am-2pm on a daily basis! ehheheheh.. so yeah the Ahdaaf webbie is still under construction but below are some shots of the progress with the interiors of Ahdaaf and an illustration i created of how it will eventually turn out inshalla. For all football players and enthusiasts i assure you that this place will be THE place for Emirati soccer events and training programs wuhooow ! so do pass on the word ..... prettty please... thankyou....

Another, High note is that the Ahlan wa Sahlan wall sticker i created for my mini moroccan majlis has been selected as a winner in the project Mulsaq competition and will soon be mass produced for sale internationally wuhoow, look forward to more updates regarding the upcoming vinyl wall sticker exhibition to be held at traffic on the khtt network

and i can't believe that it's already 3ashr ilawakher mashallah so make the most of these special nights and use them wisely

all my love to all of you wu taqabal allah 6aa3atkum .....

FACELIFT

music: the ting tings::thats not my name
mood: rejigged

It's been ages since i've wanted to finalize the fine tuning around the house, including decorating l'il lily's nursery. Alas, a trip to Ikea a few days ago pumped interior design infused adrenaline throughout my system! it was a bit like when u shop for groceries in Ramadhan u just flip at everything in sight and end up with a trolley loaded with random unnecessary foodstuff lol but this time it happened to hit me while i was home shopping. Thankfully, the end result landed me a standing ovation from the hubs and a ton of compliments by my family n friends but most importantly i am loving l'ily's reaction to her new nursery and her squeals of delight awwwww +clap clap+

My guest bathroom also underwent a mini makeover with hip baroque inspired picture frames, i am all about these wall stickers i think i've kinda pushed it to the limits the only thing left for me to sticker up is our cat oogie +eeeek+ aite enough is enough i shall not create! purchase! or research! anymore wall art !! inshallah everyones fasting sessions is flowing smoothly have a brill day peeps and happy fasting...

My status at present has transformed into a new mould, lol i never envisioned leading a Barsha Betty lifestyle and actually truly loving it lol. I have mastered the art of multitasking with L'il Lili on board and its proving to be great fun but do mind any typos in this entry considering my left hand is occupied with her and her one n only pal Dr.brown lol.

Anyhus i am back from a much needed vacation to no other city in this world that never fails to make my heart flutter, eyes twinkle and credit cards max out ... London my joie de vivre.. Yupeee i did manage to tend to my yearly London rituals and topped up my summer explorations with a few new ones including a speedy 24hr trip to Paris. I have also successfully saturated my creative brain cells with unlimited fashion inspirations that will be evident in my eid range inshallah! and a tinsy winsy surprise opening up in Dubai in the upcoming months alasss!

Below is a mini slideshow including fragments of my super summer escape after surviving the ultimate test life has endowed upon women. A new l'il light that has lit up our lives with its warm effervescent glow.. and god i am reallly starved already eeeeek hope u enjoy the entry and have a fruitful Ramadhan shared with your families and loved ones ummmwah! 3aisha this one's for you and the l'il fashionista... miss yaa tons..
