2010

A year ends today, a decade since the new millennium!


So much happened during the last year and when I look back, it really does seem as if a decade has passed by. This year had its share of happiness and sorrows and I would say that "Aal izz well" that ends well :P


The year went by well, alhamdolillah and I have no complains.


Please pray that 2010 brings happiness, prosperity and peace in our lives and for our country and makes us better Muslims, ameen


Wishing all of you a very happy and prosperous new year, full of happiness and peace :)

Ouch and Future Ouch!!! :(

As the title suggests, I kind of got myself in a painful situation again :(

During my yearly check-up, my doc told me that I probably might need two fillings in my teeth. And when I asked him if it would be painful, he said "No, no, Not at all" (liar!). so I went to this dentist. Young cute girl about my age but with tools that would make you run away even if she's half a mile away :P
After an inspection and a X-ray, she tells me that one of my tooth might require a root canal (OMG!!) and the other is a simple(??) case of extraction. And she gives me an appointment of the dental SURGEON.

Let me tell you something friends, a trip to the dentist is like one to a haunted house. People of any age are afraid to go there and so was I :S

So he begins with another inspection and then gives me two choices. Cleaning and then root canal or root canal then cleaning. He said the extraction wasn't necessary if the tooth wasn't hurting me (and to my convenience, it wasn't :D Seriously, I didn't lie, it really isn't hurting :P)

I told him that I wanted the less painful stuff to be done first and he started with cleaning but when he took out the looong syringe with the mile long fat thick needle, I almost jumped off the chair. Isn't it ironic that you put anesthesia in such a dreadful tool. It should be in a toffee or chocolate, you chew it and your mouth is numb :)
He gave me eight shots in my gums and they hurt really really bad. Allah dushman ko bhi dentist say bachayay, ameen :)
It took around 45 minutes and I came out with a half numb mouth, feeling stupid but with pearly white teeth :) (and the teeth even shine when I smile, just like on TV :P)
The root canal is scheduled for January 1, 2010 so my year is kinda starting with an ouch :P Do pray for me people that it goes well.

On a different note, I was reading something about a not so practicing Muslim who became a practicing one and there was one thing he said that I really liked. He said that there were times when he would offer Salat and then there were times when he wouldn't but there was thing that he didn't let go and that was the company of good Muslims because that influenced his thoughts a lot. May Allah bless us with the company of good Muslims and guide us towards the right path, ameen :)

It seems like ages since I last blogged and although I started with the thought that I would write a lot today, I think I shouldn't. a very happy and belated Eid-ul-Azha mubarak to everyone. And a happy new year to all as well (Muharram 1st just passed by). May Allah make this year a more successful and more peaceful one for everyone, ameen.

My commenting system is shutting down from January so was playing around with it for a while and have somehow managed to bring back Blogger comments but don't know if it's stable. I'm on the look out for a good commenting system and a good rain themed template. Let me know if anyone spots one :)

Take lotsa care people. Keep smiling and keep blogging :)

Ramadan

Falling ill is one of the worst things that can happen to a person living alone in pardes (foreign country). From our childhood we have seen...
