Five Things You Don't Know About Me
Tagged by Om Luji. Thanks a lot!
1) I fast a lot. Because I use the expression 'Oqsim billah' (I swear by Allah) without thinking a lot - especially when am angry. And then when I think about it, I find I've sworn by Allah I'll do something I can't do. So I have to fast 3 days to make up for it.
Recently, a friend has told me a woman needs her husband's permission to fast if it's not Ramadan. If so, then I'm a great sinner because I never thought to discuss it with him. I don't think he even noticed because he comes home from work long after Magreb(sundown).
2) Twice, when my husband was buying presents for my evil sister-in-law, her husband or her children, I watched him buy all the wrong things and wrong sizes. He's a terrible shopper. And I kept my mouth firmly shut.
3) I am very claustrophobic. I hate elevators so much that I take the stairs whenever I can. When I can't, I break into a cold sweat. I'm incapable of having a conversation in the lift because I can't stop worrying it will get stuck and I'll never get out.
I cannot sleep in a room which doesn't have large glass windows or a balcony. Same for my office. Or sit anywhere other than by the window on trains, planes etc....
If I am in an enclosed space, I have to at least be able to see outside from the window.
4) I am so soft-spoken that people often complain they can't hear me. Conversely, I have the most loud obnoxious laugh you ever heard. The contrast always startles people.

I love your answers I just been tagged with the same tag probably my answers would not be as fun as yours.. However do have mercy on your husband and tell him about his wrong things in shopping..
Hi LouLou,
Now we know a bit more about you :)
Thank you for tagging me, i wrote 5 things about me in my blog. You are welcome to read.
Have a nice day
Puppy.
unordinary and sweet as u always r Loulou
Habibti you tagged me! I've already done this one coz I got sick of waiting for someone to tag me so I tagged myself!! :)
But this thing about a woman needing her husband's permission to fast it ridiculous, no offense really! But seriously, who comes UP with this stuff?? Aakkhh, so frustrating!
Flattered to be tagged by you, Lou! Will work on a list.
Out of curiousity, what happened to K's receptionist?
Lou, thank you for the tag. But I have already taken it: http://wordsofabrokenmirror.blogspot.com/2007/01/tell-me-your-secrets.html
You are my hero for not saying anything about his shopping mistakes :P
Nice list, Loulou.
I didn't mention in my list that I am insectophobic. So I really understand what you suffer in closed places. I also break into this cold sweet and feel like my heart had stopped beating every time I see an insect.
I certainly enjoyed reading your answers.
LouLou,
What do u say abt this?
Allah also says: “O ye who believe, when there come to you believing women refugees, examine(and test) them : Allah knows best as to their faith: if ye ascertain that they are believers, then send them not back to the unbelievers, They are not lawful(wives) for the unbelievers, nor are the (unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for them”. [Sûrah al-Mumtahanah (60): 10]
This verse is general for all those who do not believe in Islam.
Muslimah is just running around quoting the same thing on every blog now. Muslimah, I answered you on my blog but don't you think you should just grow up already? You're like a little kid always trying to pick a fight. (Next time you quote something from the Quran, though, I suggest you quote the entire verse and not just the bits and pieces you feel advance your cause.)
Loulou, you've done more than your share answering to people like Muslimah. We've got a behavioral modification technique we try to use in class when one of our students starts acting out...it's called IGNORING the undesired behavior and rewarding desired behavior so that it may continue to be repeated.
In either case, I came to comment only to be surprised by the regurgitating commentator.
Nice answers! I'll try to compile a list that doesn't reveal TOO much about myself!!
You have the most amazing answers Loulou...Thank you for tagging me I will work on that shortly. By the way I've been reading your blog , just being silent lately ...
Being claustrophobe is hell when on a plane. I know!!
Zed,
the receptionist stayed with us for 3 days. Then we helped her move into her new place. She'll be fine now.
Thanks for asking about her.
thanks LouLou
Done :)
