Weekend Mood.........

It's cold this morning with the overnight temperature dropped from 24 to 13 degree celcius.... It's June and yet it still feels like April....I'm not complaining, I like it this way rather than living in a place where it's daily heat even reaches up to 45 - 50 degree C ....
Greenberry or 'toot'.


This weekend I'm not going anywhere as both izzat and mimi are struggling with their final exam preparations and the exams will only finish next week and after that they'll have a very longgggggggggggg summer school holidays , mid June till end of August.

'Toot' tree.......the fruits ......so sweet.......




I find it a bit funny to think how a four-year-old- girl, mimi has to prepare for her final exam...oral+written exams.... last week she had to memorize all her lessons orally from deen, english, mathematics, arabic , science to civic knowledge and this coming weeks she has to deal with her writing examinations which also covers all subjects taught at school. She's registered under the'tamhidi' or some sort like a 'nursery/taska' but looking at her books and lessons taught it looks more like a kindergarten. I don't really push her to really study for her exam but she seems to have been all set and well prepared for it.



Pink flowers..don't ask me the name...sorry , i don't know....

Last night I watched a programme on al Jazeera sport TV and Izzat and I (mimi was already asleep ) were laughing all thru this programme called " .......... life shots " .


same ' no-name flower ' with different colour.........

It's a tournament where the participants have to shoot the ball into the basketball net and each participant represents an arab country including Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia. Each of them have to make 12 shots from 3 different angles..the 1st ball scores 1 point, 2nd- 2pts, 3rd- 3pts, 4th - 4 pts for each angle. that means if they shoot all 12 balls into the net the total score would be 24 points.

We laughed because it looked so funny when out of 6 competitors , there's only one female took part and she's the first person to give it a shot.....she scored 15 points.... it looked so funny because she's representing a country ( this is a grand game with many judges and the indoor stadium was decorated like a disco and they even had a group of high-school cheer leaders who also performed a few 'arab gelek dancings' during the break)..but she seemed like she didn't know how to shoot the ball..so that was it, she got only 15 points...

Then all men got their chances to shoot...... we couldn't stop laughing.. all of them scored below the 15 points scored by the only lady, Diala Khalifah from Syria..... a few even scored below 10 points and oh boy ,they are tall guys...one of them is more than 2 m high.....


The final result ( they have a few rounds of shots )..that lady from syria won the tournament and went home with a cheque worth USD3000 ......

We first laughed and condemned how on earth she could represent her country when she couldn't even hold the ball correctly but with syria was the host country ,the spectators cheered and clapping their hands giving their 100% moral support to this lady....


Then the men were all 'out of place'...... looking at their masculine bodies and height they should've been great basketball players.... I don't know what went wrong , but that lady was the champion.



I remember reading a blog entry from a macho guy living in Jeddah a few days ago with the title 'Women Rule ' ......what to say , it happens again man !!!!!!


Before I pen off I just want to post a few pics taken last week from my backyard... pics of ' I don't know what flowers they are " and a greenberry tree and its fruits... the fruits taste so sweet ..........


Have a wonderful Saturday !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rina,

I have accepted you in my chat. Sorry I was off from cyber world for the last one week for the sebab below:
1) darling balik
2) pindah rumah
3) phone line tak de so internet pun tak de

The 6 of us kebingungan kat rumah tak de internet. I guess internet really control our lives. Yesterday the 6 of us spent 3 hours kat CC catching up on things including my 6 yr old son. And today I am still at CC coz my hubby need to check his email.
I managed to chat for a while with Hazia yesterday. Will chat and communicate with you again.

That strongly proves that "when under pressure, woman performs better than man".

Selamat berhujung minggu.

Only goes to show that women are moving into other areas too.
It is no wonder some men in the golf world were so intimidated when Michelle Wie (teenage golfer) wanted to play in a man's tournament. They refused and kicked up such a fuss. Some welcomed the challenge but those macho men.. did not give her a chance. They ridiculed her. I am glad Tiger Woods welcomed the challenge. Never followed up after that. I thought it was just so amusing. Some are so egoistic about their abilities that they forget they have formidable contenders. :)
Lovely pictures. Have a good weekend. The weather has been hovering around 15C in the daytime here. Very pleasant.

j.t.,


Watching Dalia Khalifah from Syria having her fisrt throw and she missed it , I really thought she'd never win.....well, she won !! . Now, I blame myself for having a negative perception of that lady....

Hope many more men would be like Tiger Woods .

Happy weekend to you too !!

hazia,

Entahlah, memang sekolah diaorang macam ni kot, tapi kokurikulum amat kurang berbanding dengan sekolah di malaysia.

silversarina said...

Tahun ni cepat pulak buah tut tu masak banyak yang jatuh atas simen tak sempat nak petik..mimi tak makan , mama je yang makan, tak terhabiskan.

Hi Loveujordan, I love your pics with no names, ha ha. The first "toot" pic, looks like the ones I see in Kuantan , Trengganu beaches.....
Good for that Syrian girl, sapu the men. Bet the men suma muka merah, ha ha.
I bet you have beautiful garden. Ohh...how cold is the cold there in Jordan, I mean in winter? Any snow?
Today our weather like Petaling street at noon! Panas la, 24'c! Can't wait for the cool weather to balek in Sept. Have a nice Sunday, UL.

silversarina said...

d,

ganglah kita, akak suka bunga hidup tapi malas nak ambik tau nama-namanya :)

Uncle Lee,


This toot fruit looks like buah 'mengkudu' ( the one in Kuantan )in the pics but it's not... this greenberry is the same like blueberry with different colour....

Jordan has 4 seasons with 2/3 times of snow during winter not like Canada..always staying in the freezer ...hehehe :)
