TO AL MY GIRLFRIENDS
WISHING U A
HAPPY women's day !

On Womens Day...to think about

this concealment i adorn is my protection
it is my armor against all that is evil
it is my liberator
it is my honour
this covering of mine
it is my dignity
it is my distinguisher
it elev8s me to the pinnicle of purity
it is my love
can u not understand inspired by my Lord
I chose this path
myself
this veil of security
is my companion
it is my comforter
it keeps me safe from intruding gazes of strangers
it elev8s me to the pinnicle of purity

u seek freedom of expression
i'm no different from the one who chooses to expose herself
i choose to conseal myself
and this is my right
to be able to see the light behind my veil !!

Signs for a modern women

design project day 2

It more like week3 day 2 , but I have barely started. No complaints thought because I think I'm on a buzz and I might just be able to use this "new energy " positively.

But really , i don believe that I have a cooking clue whats up ...I hope that if i do some stuff n giv it 2 a frend to read it will make more sense to her than to me ...right now i feel enthusiaitic but overwhelmed(is that even possible?)

anyway I hope things are better 2mrw.

the rest of the exciting week in cape town

This is the lobby of our haven after hours of work, research and glimpses at the prospects ahead in the careers ahead of us. It was well worth it. Even though Nadia and the team scheduled an average of three hours of sleep every night for us mere muggles; breakfast always made up for it! [see Cape Town Lodge website for more of their pics]

Did I mention food , boy were we spoiled ! There was always soooo much to eat ... and sooooooooo yummy...check out these pics


Waiting for food ... we had no idea what was coming

Okay so I have gained a couple of kilo's...but what could I do , the food was soo good :-)


The technical project surrounded "the mystery of the blackouts"...so we visited the Koeberg nuclear power station
heres a bunch of activities that made us all laugh-out-loud in the true meanng of it but also got the creative juices going...

The gala dinner scared the zombie out of all the delegates . Do they look great or what ?




oh dear ... there was the shocking realisation that we had to leave

SAWomEng Conference

60 of South Africa's top female engineers in Khayalitsha on the first day of the SAWomEng Conerence , 2008



These may look like terrorrists but they're actually the winners of the team building (flesh bruising ) exercise that the young ladies played. The ReD team have been named as the most brutal and no other paintball team could have cheated their way so well into victory (and yes I do still hold a grudge to that red barbarian that gave me a rather strange and incredibly painful red ring on my ring finger ! huh...i'll get you back!)
