2006 Here We Come

Well it's nearing the end of 2005 and I thought that it deserved a quick blog. Gather around as I ponder over my version of 2005. (I'm going to be all reflective- You've been warned.)

I don't know about you all but this year has brought its fair share of experiences for me. Without many of which I wouldn't be anywhere near the person I've had to become today. (Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you )

Here are some of the things that stick out most (sorry if I've missed anything):

- 2005 brought me my first ever job at the CPS. It was a chance to witness the goodness in people out there who are dedicating their lives trying to bring about some sort of justice in this world, fighting in the face of some true, true evils. I feel honoured to have worked alongside such people... Oh, and money good

- University: It's had its up and downs, all of which taught me some valuable lessons about people. Let's hope that 2006 brings more ups.

-Home: Some of the so-called "downs" made me realise how lucky I really am. Words really won't be able to express how grateful I am for the friends I have, my home, my bro, and most of all, the mum I've been blessed with. All I can say is that my mum fulfils every single quality a mother should have, and for that I pray for nothing but her happiness, Aameen.

- My housemates: Perhaps one of the best surprises of 2005 were my housemates. They've brought fun, laughter and even a sense of relief when I'd had a bad day. So a huge thank you to them for being the people that they are. Here's to plenty more cake days in the future *holds up a glass of Irn Bru- NOT alcohol- alcohol's evil *

Actually writing this list isn't as easy as I thought it would be... I know I'll unintentionally miss out a lot things- things like my first digital camera (thanks to Pa,) and the fantastic Iftaar hosted at Sara, Rehnuma, Jesse and Sadia's place- If it wasn't for that then I would never have learnt how to make such a wicked pasta Rehnuma Ah and God bless brownies. So I suppose I'll have to leave it there.

I guess as for the many many other adventures I've been up to... Let's just say that it's not all suitable for younger readers...

Happy New Year everyone

P.S. I forgot to say before that I welcome any comments you all have, so feel free to leave some
