SIST 2012!!! came and gone...
Faisal Masjid (the top....its' a pillar of it though) was ready for this years SIST (shifa inter-shcolastic tournament) on 7-8th January 2012. The event was line from Calligraphy to Photography to Art on the spot to 3-D art to Lectures to Project runway to Anasheed competition to a lot of events!!! This years theme was Mission Submission: Bow down to rise and our teams were Ra'kayoon and Sa'ajaydoon.
the event started off at 8 am at with the recitation of the Holy Quran and then people ran off to their respective events or the events they wanted to attend. It went on till 9 pm at night with dinner (which we were highly expecting :P) however the lectures of Hamza Andreas Tzortzis and Adnan Rasheed were highly appreciated and looked forward to for the next day and well I for one didn't want them to stop talking as their lectures were superb!!!! As they spoke the hall rang from Takbirs from time to time!
On the second day Junaid Jamshed had also come for a lecture....amazing way to end the show! and brother Hamza did a Anasheed which we participated in as we have heard it.All of it ended with the award ceremony in which MASHALLAH our school won a lot compared to last year. and I'm looking forward to hearing the two phenomenal speakers again!

Starting off with Arjun! yeah the guy who did the remix version of "Kolaveri Di" for those who haven't heard it hear it is:
this guy lemme tell you is AMAZING! all of his other songs deserve a listen to and well I am addicted maybe you might be as well :) He is a you tube artist and resides in the UK.....a UK boy singing awesome songs? Isn't that enough to convince you to go and hear this dude?????Next is Dawn Jay. this guy well a recommendation by my cousin and a good one that is. He is a newly debuted artist and all of the songs on his album "The Dawning" are addictive especially one of his skits!!!!
Not all of the songs are present on Youtube except "Liar" (that is above and the 1st song that introduced the artist to me) another song is "Last Chance" which is not on the album but also a good song. If you wanna try him out check him out on Facebook and the URL is

IGSC photography comptition (definetly spelled something wrong)
yeah so this one comes to my mind like it happened yesterday though it happened last year-i think in September but oh well my memory is NOT that good when it comes to remembering dusty ol' stuff. So our school went for the photography thing,yeah. It was a team of 5 girls and 3 boys with one teacher to keep an eye on us even though we are innocent kids....who get out of hand....but we're kids and would stay kids.....now I'm just going off the topic!!!!
The theme was unity (phew! at least i remember that!). Many pictures got accepted by our teacher-who selected the images to be send-and some didn't. Mine was of men going down in Ruku (while praying in congregation). To get that snap was hard and took a lot of whisper shouts to my brother to get it from the perfect angle.......why couldn't i just go? I'm a girl thats' why......................
Moving on we all were hoping to skip the whole day and stay at the campus and i for one was praying that the campus be a 30 minute drive from school but no...it was a 10-15 minute drive from school!!!! the first half was registering and seeing our pictures the other half-which was our break- was to go hear the results and at that time our prayers paid off(YAAAAAY!!!!). the result took a great deal of our time and yes we won a prize :) it actually didn't matter if I won or not it was just good to know that OUR school won something.
O yeah! i forgot a guy even did a break dance on chamak challo over there but sadly it wasn't on you tube :(
so that wrapped our day and well it was amazing!!!!
but they haven't given my picture back! and the certificate got it on Thursday i.e. 5th January 2012 or maybe I'm wrong with the date
