3rd September 2006 (Day 1)

We were leaving to Kerbala today and everyone was so excited! and there was so much chaos at home before leaving!
i woke up at 12 aaraam sei ... cause i had ironed my clothes and kept everything ready the last night. We left home at about 1:00 PM
This time Zakeeya was coming too and she was really excited cause she would get to see 'What dadijaan always watches on Al Anwar TV' :D

When we got to the port everyone was there and there was lots of kichkich :/
some people were even asking questions like 'Do our ears hurt in a ship like how they do in a plane?' *!!!*

Me, Sana, Zakeeya, Daddy, Munir Uncle, Raza Uncle & Maulana Muntazar Abbas ...
went in last cause i had to wait till my bhabi came from school (to the port) to see us off

At around 4:30 everyone was in the ship waiting for getting their room keys ...
Me & Sana got our room real jaldi so we went and rested for a while ..

Our cabin :)
We started feeling hungry and dinner was at 8:00 (sooo late :/)
so we had Shami Paratha and chips :P

In a while it was time for Maghrib .. so we did Namaaz, Had dinner & went back to our rooms
After Zakeeya went to sleep we started preparations for Zakeeya's surprise B'day party the next day ...
twas about 11:00 when we started packing the goody bags ...
we didnt do it in our room though we went to Roshan Behns room cause the roomate was getting disturbed by some noise and she shifted to our cabin and we had to do our work in Roshan Behns room :)
It took real long to do it ... we finished it around one but we didnt sleep till 2:30-3:00 cause the noise was disturbing us too ...
I went to sleep earlier than Sana though .. we were together the whole time .. after all we're best friends :D
