About ten years ago around this time of the year, I can remember being gathered around a PC with 'ed and some other guy who I will pretend was called Abdul Alim. The occasion? 'Ed had this big idea that this new thing in the world called the internet would turn out to be pretty big. He had tasked the other guy to design something to put on the internet to give The Revival an online presence.

I have no idea when exactly the first page was put online, but it was around this time of the year, so by my reckoning, the site is now ten years old.

Ain't that something?

This is for all you math geeks out there.

I car share with two other people and we're trying to work out how much each person should pay for petrol. We all go to work in the same car and I drive.

Heres the scenario: Theres three of us in a car (A, B & C). The total cost of petrol for 5 days is £30.

Assume A travelled for all 5 days, how much should he pay?

B travelled with them for 4 days, how much should he pay?

And C only travelled with them for 2 days, how much should he pay?

_______________________________________________________
Heres what ive worked out so far.

weeks petrol = £30 (5 days)

divided by the three of us= £10 per person (5 days)

I drove B for four days, therefore £10/5 to figour out how much per day = £2

It has been a while since I talked about my phone.

Today, I got impatient with T-Mobile releasing the latest softweare update for my phone, so I debranded it to generic firmware and then updated it to the latest released version for my phone - Android 2.1 (Eclair - all the android versions are named after deserts) to get all the new goodies.

There is the live walpapers that other android phones have now had for yonks, updated web browser, and an updated lock screen that shows more information.

An unexpected thing is that the theme for the phone is slightly tweaked making the text size larger, and that will take some time getting used to.

[color=yellow] I'm happy! [/color]

[color=orange][size=8]this is basically a very LOOONNNGGG blogpost summarized to its basic atomic core, which i feel is enough to convey what i meant. [/size][/color]

i know all them and you've told me SOO many times, but i cant help it. and now im really upset, so i'll just gush everything out here (without thinking about it and without proofreading)

:Cry: im so scared for my younger siblings! i KNOW they are still young, but i want them to love the deen and not see it as a burden. Im sooo scared they wont be able to give up their little wordly desires, im so scared they wont see the VALUE of Islam and the knowledge they need to acquire. and it makes me SOO sad and upset when i have to tell them repeatedly, "go read Quran" "go do your memorizing" i want them to like it and enjoy it, NOT see it as a burden where big sis always NAGS and NAGS about it :Cry:

Hiii there.

Disclaimer: I can't be bothered to make all my pronoun i's capital so if you can't handle that, don't read on (:

So... i haven't written a proper blog in a while now but i have now and then thought how cool it would be to have a proper set of blogs that people followed and enjoyed reading, like on blogspot or whatever, but unfortunately, i haven't got enough interesting things to say.

I doubt many people will read this, but i'll just put it out there, just my general thoughts while i'm pretty much here with just my own mind for company.

As an all-out daydreamer, there's nothing i like more than time to just think so it's not a problem. Any quiet opportunity to just pretend to be reading something or be staring out of a window and think about stuff.

A 10 second stop to sayyyy

You know sometimes you hear something and it just makes you feel good?

Well howww about this for a feel GREAT song:

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough'

">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-UvQYAmbg]

# ‘Listennn, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby

If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you’ #

They had such great voices - Loveeee it!

Mum quickly tired of having to keep it out of my reach. So she tried to hide the cake, but I always found it. I mean comeon, im an eight year old, i know where all the hiding places are! So she tried putting the cake on top of the frige, but my freakish climbing abilities soon proved it to be an unsatisfactory solution.
