Floral it is!

Still no internet. Actually, I have my internet connection all set up, but no modem as I am still waiting on my furniture to come from Melbourne. Seems like we are planning to bring down everything just after eid inshaallah. So a few more weeks. But no internet at home just sux big time!

I actually purchased a modem on ebay, but I sorta got jibbed cos the lady wont send my modem. I had paid by bank deposit so I can't get my money back either. Big mistake! Always pay by Paypal when buying stuff online I say. Paypal has really good customer protection.

Anyhow... Forget about that. :)

I went to a seminar this afternoon. Some of you may have heard of Peter Barnett. He is an Aussie (fellow Melbournian) journalist who reverted to Islam, and set out on a journey to Turkey to discover more information about Bediuzzaman Said Nursi (you can Google him.. He is one of Turkey's very well-known, prominent scholars from. I may have another post about him in the near future inshaallah).

So he was the speaker at the seminar, but both my husband and I were so upset when we entered the room. There were only a handful of people. This very fragile, 85 year old man had travelled thousands of kms in a land unknown to him... the possessor of valuable information and insight, but only a handful of people!?!?

The organisers too seemed quite upset so they made a few phone calls to the people in their community to increase the attendance.

It was a short and sweet seminar. Peter Barnett has a way with words, and reaching out to his audience. He was a delight to listen to.

On our return from the seminar, I had the chance to photograph my outfit of the day, just to share with ya'll. :)

Love heaps!

These crop chiffon tops are so popular now. I love florals as I am into feminine touches in outfits. So when I found this top for a bargain $10, I grabbed it to wear with my ultra high-waisted wide-leg pants. However, on this occasion I chose to wear it over my full length jersey dress to make it look as though I'm wearing a high waisted skirt. I was happy with the outcome as there were no bits and pieces of meat (well... fat...) hanging out of north-south-east or west. :)
