Salam alaikum!
I have tried several times to write something about my own routines but somehow, even to me, it just sounds too boring. I would have to get round to that soon but I seem to put if off everyday. Maybe one day I'll wake up and "ping!" - the ability to write about myself will drop down into my brain from heaven and I'll create a new post immediately. Right now you'll have to make do with the regular stuff.
My brain these days is - very crazily - occupied with two main thoughts - or rather three.
-1- Study regularly for the MCATs (Medical College Admission Tests) so that I can get into KMDC (Karachi Medical and Dental College) to do BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) and become a DENTIST ( D - E -N ... oops, sorry!) InshAllah!
-2- Think up a creative but simple costume for my cousin's second birthday party. (Yes, everbody under twenty is supposed to come in a costume - maybe that's because it's the first themed party in the history of my family).
-3- BAKE MY COUSIN'S BIRTHDAY CAKE!
You can see to which thing I have been giving most priority.
I say it's a 101% true fact that most girls will really think first of their appearance, jewellery, make-up, clothes, cooking, kids, stitching, singing, etc. etc. than anything else - yes, there are other things too! It's in the nature of a female and you can't snub her for that. Nothing wrong with having brains and beauty at the same time - *cough*Legally Blonde 2*cough*!
So, to me baking my cousin's birthday cake is very important right now. I'm a little weird in that way - I love cooking, I just love it, and to any cook or wannabe-cook, appreciation from a hungry audience is not only a 'reward' but a motivational factor to strive for more.
Last year, when I baked the cake for Anushey's (my cute little cousin, chewing on a straw in that pic) first birthday, I attempted to make Barney - that cute ... *cough*ugly*cough*... dinosaur kids seem to love so much - why!? Anyway, it turned out to be quite a fiasco with all that food colouring (purple and green!). It was much appreciated but I only thanked the multi-coloured sprinkles which, showered over the huge cake, covered up most errors in icing.
This year however, inshAllah, the design is of my own choice - unlike last year - and a lot of pre-planning is underway. The design was finalized yesterday, colour schemes will be done in the course of this week, recipes reviewed, details conformed and the cake should materialize quite well, inshAllah, on Monday, the 5th of September. In any case, I'll put up a pic.
About the costume - ah, well, because of the cake duty, I'll keep my attire as simple as possible - all I need is my black gown, a wizard's hat, a magic wand and I'm ready!! HP fanship, haha!
Okay, that's enough eccentric behavior for now! Sigh... watching the new Willy Wonka can hit your head pretty hard with "weirdo-ness"...
Going off to recover. Allah Hafiz!

Problem solved! I have the answer for all 3 of your problems:
For the costume come as a dentist, keep your books with so you can study, (that'll make you look more like a dental student)and err make a cake too.
The only problem is that you'll be the kids' worst nightmare (duh!! a dentist!)
btw oh hoo you're becoming a dentist Insha'Allah and also love cooking..wah wah you'll make an desi ideal bahuu! :P (she's a dr. and can cook too :-)
Haha! You are so right with all that... very funny, hehe. :)
I'm seriously contemplating the dentist thing though my lab coat looks more like a rag with all those acid burns. But, it can be managed!
About being the kids' nightmare, well, I don't know, because I've got another cousin doing either Goth or becoming a pirate. That might be scrarier. But you know what? I hate going to the dentist! So, the only scared crazy would be me. :P
Abt the 'bahu' comment - captured that perfectly! Cook a good dinner and you're suddenly number one on the "Potential bahu" list. :P
How was the party?!...
Details details (did they like the cake?)
& did you go as Mrs. Harry Potter oops I mean Ms. (still got the bahu thing in mind :P)
Assalaamu alaikum :)
When you find it difficult to talk about your routines, do what I do: post a random poem that makes you look intellectual and deep (even if you have no clue what the poem is really about).
Or take one action you do and twist it into some psychological theory about how the human brain works.
I'll be standing on the sidelines, cheering.
Sorry, D.Overtue, the party is on the coming Monday... :P it's been a long sort of wait so the excitement is already beginning to wear off.
But maybe that's because I have discovered that I have to change my cake design! I had planned a little box, a fluffy cat emerging from it with a birthday hat on.
But it seems that this year as well, I shall have to use a desing I 'dislike' - putting it very mildly. I have to make a clown face! I hate clowns.
Anyway, this is on request.
Asmaa, thanks for that tip, I've been thinking the same thing! Btw, I was suspicious about the poems. :P
I will, of course, put up one confuzzling theory soon. Not next time, but soon... it might be centered on Einstein' Theory of Relativity which I never understood - and never will. :P
I love Einstein's Theory of Relativity. It's so amazingly intelligent and applicable to daily life instances. It was one of the few things in Physics that I absolutely enjoyed studying.
