Zumba is haram

Zumba has been added to the list of prohibited (aka haram) things within Islam. Alongside eating pork, drinking alcohol, and gambling. 

Dig a little deeper, it's been prohibited because the class encourages girls to "shake it" and the music elicits emotions that should otherwise remain suppressed. And the Zumba wear is sexy. Hah!!!

Raya celebration with family members

Raya or Eid is always a time for family reunions and to quote my sister in law, the day we "become best buddies for a day... tomorrow we can be enemies again".. So it was definitely a great moment though crazy hectic with the influx of guests for my mother in law and sister in law's open house

Staring competition with an unlikely visitor

We had an unlikely visitor in our compound on the first day of raya who challenged us to a staring competition. AND naturally we lost to him...

Why? Because it was so unnerving staring at him or was it feeling his stare on us. MY daughter was spooked as well even though our visitor was only about 8 cms long.

MH 17 is MH370?

The tragic crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 that killed 298 people may have filled the news along with the other aircraft fatalities of TransAsia and Air Algerie but no one has forgotten about the strange disappearance of MH370.

Ohhhemmmjiiii , several conspiracy theories have already started surfacing in social media. Some people really have overactive imagination and crazy theories,but others have become so believable that they have been shared countless times on social media feeds.

Since the crash of Malaysia Airlines MH17, one conspiracy theory began circulating with the eye-catching headline - "MH17 was in fact the 'lost' flight MH370." The individual/s behind the theory believes that the missing MH370 is disguised as the MH17.

Glass half full but counting my blessings

I often bemoan the fact I have so little. I do not have fancy branded bags or clothing etc. I bemoan the fact I do not get to travel enough, not as much I would love to. I do complain of little things and missing out on a lot of what I think makes a good life.
But when I stop, take a few moments to really contemplate what I have in my life, I would be very ungrateful if I did not know how to count my blessings.

The scene at the wreckage of MH17

The field is strewn with bodies. One has jeans donned on, but no shoes. A second is clad in a polo shirt and grey socks, one of which is charred. A third wears blue trousers, but the journalist cannot see the face, because it was smashed under the wreckage of MH17.

Trancripts of conversations regarding MH17 ??

These are transcripts of conversations regarding MH17 allegedly between Russian military intelligence and Ukrainian separatists that were intercepted by Ukraine’s spy agency in the moments after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was shot down.

Authorities have yet to verify what brought down the Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur flight with 298 on board, but suspicion is focusing on the pro-Russian separatists who are believed to have fired an air-defence missile at the civilian airliner after mistaking it for a military transporter.

Death and dying

There is some truth to the old saying, “There are only two things you can count on in life: death and taxes.” Everyone experiences death. Death and dying are an inevitable part of human life. Some people know ahead of time when their death will occur. Terminal illnesses, like cancer, kidney failure and such, when diagnosed ahead of time, gives a person to set his or her affairs in order, make relationships right, and say goodbye to loved ones. In these cases, every person involved has a chance to gradually adjust and make peace with death, as much as possible. However, not everyone has this chance. Many deaths occur suddenly. Death can, and often does, strike without warning.

The Winners and the Prize money for FIFA World Cup 2014

adidas Golden Ball: Lionel Messi (Argentina) A true captain and a true match winner. There can be no finer compliment to Argentina skipper Lionel Messi, who was so influential in his team’s path to the Final. With some questioning just how influential he would be in Brazil after a demanding season for Barcelona and concerns over a troublesome hamstring, he silenced the doubters by simply being his usual inspirational self. He mesmerized at the Maracana by scoring and setting up another in the 2-1 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. He scored late on against Iran to send the team through to the Round of 16 and then added two in the 3-2 win over Nigeria. But he didn’t stop there. He played the ball to Angel Di Maria, who scored in the 118th minute of the match against Switzerland to send them through to the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals he stroked home a penalty to help his side defeat the Dutch. And while the personal accolade may be scant reward for a runners-up medal, he can be justifiably proud of his performances at this FIFA World Cup.
