The blessed month of Ramadaan has departed so quickly. It has been a month of increased spirituality for all muslims and I personally enjoyed the amazing atmosphere. There were some really funny profile pictures that were up and it really made me smile.
"Petoo" is tummy in our local language and this contact just about sums up that her iftaar went well.
Yes and this picture was doing the rounds, combination of soccer and salaah!
Waking up for sehri hasn't been too easy with winter upon us. The mornings have been very cold esp in the inland areas. Some of us bounce out of bed and well, there are others that have to be dragged out of bed. But I say congrats to the following contact for waking up easy peasy:
Some of my working ladies had to really rush home and prepare in the evenings. Time is so limited but if you have someone @ home to help then life becomes easier. Some have to rely on the maids to keep an eye on the savouries:

Even she saw the funny side in it and had it up as her dp! First time we 'hear' pies burning. Her maid probably have super-sharp hearing skills, LMAO
Another contact had this up as her profile, but you gotta admit it goes well with the above lady.
In the week, I came across the following status:
So, naturally I was curious and asked her what the contents of her blender was! The resulting conversation was as follows:
That's the working woman for you! Mixing your biryani masala whilst at work makes life a wee bit easier as long as you remember to keep the lid on! Thanks Sawleha for the chat and the sweet message! And hey, if you are her boss and reading this post, lol, don't shout her too much!
Nothing is worse than waking up in the morning to prepare for the early morning meal ( sehri) and see that there's no lights! Us Durbanites didn't have a problem but my Gauteng counterparts had it really bad this year. I've been following profiles very carefully and there were numerous blackouts in Jhb and surrounds.
It's bad enough that its so bitterly cold but to re-think your eating menu this early in the morning is just so difficult.
And then there were power cuts in the evening and at night. Must have been very frustrating!
A few of my contacts loved having no lights! I'm serious! I was amused by their profile changes and yep, there's proof of the happiness of load-shedding/blackouts!
Quite a few of my contacts had this familiar Lion King picture up. Must have been really hard being a Lenasian this past month...
A contact replied to my previous post, I asked what was 'bread ous' n 'roti ous'. Thanks Naaz for your msg and clearing up the confusion:
The 2014 World Cup finished so quickly, it went by uber-quick. Germany were well deserved winners though I dare say that there were some surprise performances from South American countries, Mexico and Costa Rica. It was really a shock when Germany defeated Brazil in THAT semi, poor Scolari will always be remembered for that game.
Few of my contacts had the following pic up as their profile and I was sooo shocked!
This is a definite no-no and how can a musjid/mosque have on their notice board the soccer schedule ? Sadly it was in my home town, Durban. I hope the guilty party use their brains in future.
Next World Cup is Russia 2018 and I already have a dear facebook friend that's also a Russian citizen and is just waiting for 2018 to come!
This next screengrab has me utterly confused. Does anyone know what she means? Your feedback will go on my next blogpost:
Every week, I receive tons of well wishes from friends and clients and I love sharing it here:
It has been absolutely lovely writing this post and I wish for all my readers to have a fab 2nd half of the year! I'm thoroughly excited as La Vie magazine is on a roll and the date is getting closer to the launch of RapidTrader website!
Take care
Gotta love me!
