Qolyubiyah

i had the most wonderful opportunity to join a trip last 3rd Dec.

it was a three hour boat ride from ramses hotel

we reached a place called Qolyubiyah...

where we sat in the "Hadiqah" for tazkirah, games and eat...

then after zohor we ride "something" (i rode the horse-carriage) around the village....to the "shalalah"...LOL

and in the end...went home by boat accompanied by the beautiful sunset!

well,
my real intention was to tell about how i got invited into this trip...hehe

this trip was organized by the Arabic teaching center i join... n ust Mahmoud have told me about this trip since a month ago...but i just didn't think going for a trip is my idea of relaxing...

and finally, 3 days to the trip...ust Mahmoud gave me a "final tazkirah"...5 reason why i should join in...hehe...
i was laughing all the time...so i didn't catch all the five reasons...and mainly because ust was explaining to me in 'Arabic' -God!, when'll i get this language to settle in my tongue???-

but, one of his excuses caught my attention...

because you need to give yourself a rest!...working, studying, socializing everyday...all of this makes your heart/soul (qolb) tired, so once in a while...you have to get out of this routine...and there is the 3 most wonderful things that can give peace to your heart/soul...

1. the greenery

2. the blue water (well, it is very difficult to get the Nile river to be blue....)

3. the one that caught my ear...LOL...al weshu jamil (and ust sweeps his forefinger n thumb across his face)...au, soutul jamil...au...aiyee hagah jameel...

and our trip will provide you all this!

hehe...
and because of this reason...i decided to join...:)...fortunately!

peads are passing by me very fast...huhu...has anyone made the clock run faster?...it seems like it's running triple the usual rate i am used to...
