Day 1: A picture of yourself with fifteen facts

1. I don't like the rain. Actually i just don't like getting wet and in New Zealand, whether you're carrying an umbrella or not, you're bound to get wet. 

2. I am a semi-vegetarian. I quit eating red and white meat a few years ago but i LOVE seafood. 

3. I am the middle child. Yes folks, i was spoiled rotten.

4. In my family, i am closest to my brother who is 4 years younger than me. Some people say we act the same. Gasp! 

5. I lived by myself for 8 months last year. The beginning was difficult but i soon got into the swing of things. Needless to say, it was the best experience of my life so far.

6. I am a marketing major, and alhamdulillah the end is near! 6 more weeks of studies and I'll be done!

7. I still don't know what I'm going to do next, much to my mother's dislike. 

8. I keep a notebook with me at all times. You never know when a great idea might come to you! 

9. I hate bananas. Unless they're in a cake or I'm extremely hungry i try to stay clear of them. 

10. I'm Somali, but i was born in the United Arab Emirates and lived there till i was about 15 years old.

11. I don't like animals. Except cats, and as of recently, cute little ducklings (cue 'Awwww')

12. I once aspired to become an actress or singer. But then i discovered i couldn't act, nor sing. It was a sad day. 

13. I kill it on SingStar. Who said you have to have a nice voice to play with friends. 

14. I talk too much. My mother's nickname for me is CNN. She says it all started the day i said my first word. 

15. According to Shahirah, i wear black scarves way too much. I've been trying to cut it down lately. What can i say, black is my favourite colour, but the above picture is proof of my attempt to move away from it.
