Talented Members in My Family


“A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.” Larry Bird

I believe that every person in this world is born with a talent. But if you didn't inspire it, if you didn’t train it, it will die. If you have a talent, then you have wings to fly and have a world of opportunities to determine what you can do. 

I believe that other people could see our talents before we realize it. As Brendan Francis says “No man can discover his own talents.” So, if you think that you are not a talented person, ask people about your talents and they will tell you about your special talents that you didn’t realize.

Today, I will like to share with you some talents in my family member J

My oldest sister, who is 23 years old, is a talented drawer. She has her own characters such as “Um Kisha” & “Miss Fyonka”.  Moreover, she used to draw our family members as cartoon characters. Here are some of her drawings J






My youngest sister, who is 15 years old, likes to use polymer to create shapes like cakes, donuts, biscuits and chocolates. Here is some of her work J






“Use those talents you have. You will make it. You will give joy to the world. Take this tip from nature: The woods would be a very silent place if no birds sang except those who sang best.” Bernard Meltzer

My Childhood Drawings


How would my childhood drawings look like??!!!
When I was child, I spent hours drawing different things such as characters of my own imagination, cartoon characters, animals and nature. 
My sisters and I used to draw and share our painting and drawing with each other as gifts J  
As I was the youngest child in the family, my sisters were fighting to get my drawings as gifts >>> I think they were encouraging me to draw J 
My characters were nothing more than just four lines to make legs and arms, and number three in Arabic to make the head and hair as my mother touch me J

Yesterday, my oldest sister was packing her stuffs as she is moving to her new house. And she found her special box that she used to put in it special stuffs from our childhood. In this box, we found our drawings that we used to share as gifts J
I love drawing, but I don’t know how I end up stop drawing L.  I didn't draw since I was in the preparatory school 

Here are some of my childhood drawings… I thought of posting them and asking for your opinions J

"Your Eyes Hamda"






This week I read an amazing Arabic story “3ynaki Ya Hamda” which means “Your Eyes Hamda”. The story is written by Amna Al-Mansoori who is an Emirati short story writer. She studied IT in Higher Colleges of Technology.






The story talks about the discrimination against females that took place in the UAE in the 1970s.  It is about Hamda, who discovered when she was 10 years old that she wasn’t welcomed member to her father since she was born as he always want to have boys. Therefore, all the people in the neighborhood used to call her Hamad until her mother delivered a baby boy. At that time Hamda’s name changed from Hamad to Hamda and she was only one year old. Hamda has an uncle that she didn’t meet because he traveled to study in Egypt and participate in the political demonstrations that took place in 1979. When the uncle came back to the UAE, Hamda used to visit him to read books from his library and started to write her own thoughts despite opposition from her father. Hamda falls in love with Rashid who is a son for a close friend to Hamda’s mother. When she enters the preparatory school her father burns all her books as he believes that females shouldn’t read. The events of the story sour when Hamda’s mother dies and her father paralyzed in a car accident. At that stage, Hamda receive a proposal from Rsashid to marry him but she refuse since she has to take care of her father and Rashid has to travel abroad to work. After ten years, the father dies and Rashid return back to the UAE and marry Hamda.

Trip to Dubai Metro


We planned for a trip to Dubai Metro since last semester, however, it was always delayed L 
Gratefully, we were able to go yesterday J  
The trip was arranged by our accounting teacher Dr. Indrani >> Thank you miss
 We had to come to the college at 9:30am sharp. The college bus took us to Dubai Metro Operational Control Center to attend a presentation done by Mr. Steve. 
After that, we went to Rashidya Metro Station to have a tour in the Metro. 
Our tour starts from Rashidya Station to Union Station and then all the way back to Rashidya Station J


Finally, When we came back to college, I received a call from Emarat Petroleum regarding the job application. They told me that on Sunday I will have a job interview with them J

Back to College


I always feel that the first working week after a holiday is the longest week in the semester >>> I don’t know why??!! Maybe because it involves unexpected shocks about the projects and exams  0_0” 
However, the first working week in this semester had a different scenario J In this week, I had an accounting exam on Wednesday 11th April 2012 with Emarat Petroleum as a process of job applications to decide whether to interview me or not. The exam consisted of 3 pages theoretical questions and 2 pages numerical questions. I think that the exam was easy and I hope to receive a call from Emarat Petroleum informing me that they will like to interview me J
