I've been tagged by Jane and Roora to do this meme ... "5 Random Things About Me" mmmmmmm let's see how it goes...
1. I'm a middle child .. an only girl...I don't remember ever feeling I wanted a sister ... was so close to my brothers ...especially the younger one (1 yr 9 months difference)... had all of the "girly" things a little girl could have ...AND enjoyed "sometimes" being a tomboy... loved group games with my 2 brothers... as much as I loved being with my friends (some of which I felt were my sisters.. only they didn't live at my house!!)... I just sometimes used to feel a tinge of guilt for thinking that I love my younger bro more than the older one... don't feel that way any more thank God...
2. Learnt a bit of Bengali when my best friend was a Bangladeshi girl... was taking it really seriously with tests and quizzes and all!! I loved the way the letters were "drawn" under the line and not on top...used it as a secret code between us...too bad I've forgotten most of it ... just a few letters,words and how to write my name are what I remember...
3. Used to "picture" the English translation while praying until around high school... was a really unique experience coz I studied Islamic studies at my school in English ... with all the Surahs, Hadiths etc in English...so for me .. praying and reciting would be in Arabic.. visualising in my mind the English translation !!!
4. I LOVE creams,lotions,shower gels,powder... you name it...
5. I studied Civil Engineering because I loved it.. loved the thinking, the calculations.. the designing.. ... the seeing your design "grow" in front of your eyes later... then.. I started teaching English as well .. basically for the same reasons... loved seeing my students "think" how to use the language, then "calculate" and "design" sentences and talk... then let the language "grow" in them ... InshAllah (God Willing) will never give up either career...
Oh and 1 more thing .. it's not really about me... we have this cupbaord we bought from one of our Polish friends around 15 years ago... just realised that to this day we call it the "Polish cupboard" !!!
I'm supposed to tag or "kluk" people to do this ... so all of you on my "Blogs I enjoy" list ... if you've not been tagged already ... you're it !! ;-)

Thanks for doing the meme, Me. I am also a middle child. It's good to learn more about you.
Thanks me for having me tagged on your enjoyable blogs. It is really something to know that someone cares about what you write.
I will try doing the same thing in my blog soon insh. It is nice to know some tips about the people you are dealing with (almost on daily basis) and are becoming good virtual friends to you.
BTW, how can I add "blogs I enjoy" like yours to my blog??
Roora,
I used to simply love Islamic studies in English !! Glad God has given me that chance ... el7amdulilah :-)
Tota,
Everybody I get to know now after moving to Egypt assumes that I used to live in the Gulf... even Roora here thought so :-D .... the "surprise" is I used to live in Libya!! ...(which I'm now visiting btw)... will probably get round to posting a bit about it in my blog soon...
Jane,
Thanks for taggin' me :-D
Wonderer,
You're welcome .. 3ala eih ya benti.. kolena henna 3elah wa7da :-)

If you need any further help ..pls don't hesistate to ask ya gamila..
hello me, you know what, i am a middle child too. they say they turn out independent and strong. you think?
and i studied religion as a child in english too. only till i was 8, but i remember studying how to pray, and wodou in english. i remember we used to stand up in class next to our desks and do the actions. i was in saudi, so we also prayed duhr there. quran was a separate subject.
i love creams and soap and shampoo too! i love shopping for them and using them. love the fresh smell after a shower. maybe we can trade
mmmmmmm...independant and strong? sort of true .. but I think it depnds on the upbringing and atmosphere at home too...
I studied Islamic Studies in English till high school... realised it was a unique experience when it was over...
Take me shopping with you one day.. sure we'd make a great "shopping pair"... mesh keda? :-D
