…that I am done with my January school exams..

…that I have become a recent One Direction fan and got the fever since watching One Thing..

…that I am currently, freely, helping out in a local production house called Resolution Production, which has been asked by Qatar TV to produce a show based on fashion. Therefore, I have been and will be very busy but excited at the same time!! I have only attended 3 meetings, everything and everyone have been great to me so far. I’m looking forward to working with more people and contacting local designers, stylists, etc. Cannot wait to start shooting and post pictures! I might as well have my friends involved in the filming, so it would be awkwardly cool to film my own friends :’)

It’s also nice to know there have been new readers dropping by my blog.

Cheers x

Oh hey, my first post of 2012!

The past few days had been absolutely legitimate. Starting from Tuesday, my first day of school after the new year, my friend Marsya and Lavinia dragged me after school to meet a man called Farooq Burney and interview him for a project.

Pakistani-Canadian Mr. Burney was involved in the raid of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla back in May 2010, while 9 people died and 50 were injured. Along with his other colleagues, supposedly helping Gaza, were captured and prisoned instead by the Israelis.
He is currently the director of Al Fakhoora as quoted from their website, “We are an international campaign working to secure the freedom to learn for Palestinian students in Gaza and the West Bank with funding, extra-curricular activities, career guidance, building reconstruction and emotional support.” - http://fakhoora.org/

The next day, Marsya and I interviewed former news producer and author Rosie Garthwaite. You may remember her from my previous post How To Avoid Being Killed in A War Zone.
Both Farooq and Rosie told us about the year they considered their big year!

And… the third day… Remember I met the FC Bayern Munich last year’s January? Here is the post if you didn’t get to get across it.
I MET THEM AGAIN LAST NIGHT.
Yep! It was great that I got to see them again with a girl friend, Sarah,this time, there was someone to fangirl and went crazy with. Firstly, we went around the Aspire zone (sports area in Qatar) to find the pitch and so I decided to show her the way  to the old place where I met them. And yes! we were right. We watched them practicing and we also came across a hidden and dark pitch where they took Manuel Neuer and Bastian Schweinsteiger! haha. They put on, mostly, the extra players in training while me and Sarah stayed along the side ways and seeing some of the main players passing, Thomas Muller, Holger Badstuber, Philip Lahm and Arjen Robben. Later on that evening, Schweinsteiger, Muller and Robben were having a signing session at an adidas store in a mall so we went to see them there and met them! Schweinsteiger and Muller were super friendly as they saw my signed jersey from last year and pointed out,

“oh wow! You came to see us last year. Nice!” then I stopped breathing for a while.

But we weren’t allowed to take pics, sadly sadly, hopefully the newspaper people will put it up since one of my friends’ picture was up on the FCB facebook page!So yeah, that was my 3 amazing days, Alhamdulillah, what a beginning to a year, hoping to see more exciting things soon!
