Hello peoples!!!

Man oh man, things are still not going too well. I still have not been able to replace my computer since it got blown up and I am now hogging my friends computer for the next few days to give you all a basic catch up on the saga of madandloud.

To begin with, I’ve got world cup fever! I never liked watching football before but the hubster and my countrie’s team have got me on tenter hooks for this world cup.

We have managed to get through to the quarter finals as the only African nation left in the competition but all hope is not yet lost!

I’ve been waving my flag, got my friends supporting us as honorary Africans and I have watched almost every match so far regardless of who is playing.

I have to say, I’ve really enjoyed the highs and lows, the last match had my heart going in the hope that “we” got through to the next round (and we did it!).

I could go on and on like I’m some sports expert (but I’m not lol) but we’ll see if we can beat the other teams to get through to the next rounds.

Go team!

Next on the agenda, I went for some entry exams to start a new course and I passed!

So chuffed with myself and very excited. Come this September, I’ll be a student again which is a bit on the scary side but, the motivation has not waned.

Also on the agenda in the next few weeks is a school assembly at my kiddo’s school to do a small talk on being a Muslim woman.

After having had a confrontation with some young students a while back, I dragged them (not physically!) into the head mistress’s office to make it clear that they were not allowed to abuse me nor would I tolerate such behaviour from them.

The head decided to use the incident as a focus point to interview me for the up coming assembly to bring more awareness to the students about Muslim women’s clothing policy (to put it nicely) and to give me a chance to clear some of the misconceptions that some students have in regards to the “image” of Islam, why women wear what we wear and a few other topics.

Since that initial meeting, the head and I have put together some slides, done a survey of what questions the students would like answered etc and God willing (Insha Allah), we are going to do an interview style assembly so I can answer some of them.

Looking forward to that a lot!

Kiddo can’t wait as it’s a source of pride for her to have Mum come to school and show her friends how nice I am lol. Hope I do her justice.

Hayfever has hit kiddo badly so, I’ve used it as an excuse to be away from a lot of things recently including hunting down a new hard drive, blogging, socialising etc.

Oh, so many little things has been going on, it’s amazing how much we all fit into short time spans.

But give me a few hours or so, I’m  going to write about a programe that I saw recently that has moved me (well actually it’s two different programs but I will combine them into one article).

See you soon.

Peace out.
