Took a small break with the family and headed to Dubai. I’m so glad we did this trip. I got confused about Ramadan and thought it might be Saturday/Sunday so I scheduled our return Friday, good thing that Ramadan is tomorrow

It wasn’t crowded and the weather was bearable, it’s always a good deal to just leave everything behind and take some time off.

I’ll be posting about that trip and driving on crazy under construction roads. We got lost a lot ;P but it was FUN and frustrating at the same time because my two brothers don’t know when it’s time to just shut up.

We managed to pass “Salik” bridges 18 times, if you use them, you need to pay a fee! I thought I should charge them for having such messy roads and no clear signs!!!

So Ramadan is here and everytime, I feel the same, that I’m not ready! And I feel the same way when it’s about to end, that I’m not ready for it to finish. I’m not sure what the feeling is about and how to get the “ready” vibe on ;P

One thing I hate about Ramadan is how people relate to food, you would think people will consume less but it’s the opposite. My mom always thinks that the most appropriate time to ask for “Laban” is to ask me as I’m heading back from work or before “futoor” and I have to drive like crazy! The co-ops always seem to be full and I feel like I’m the only one standing there with my “Laban” for “futoor” and mini cornflakes for “so7oor”.

We are one of the families who have many options on the first day only “أمي تكون شادة حيلها” then it’s soup – prayer – main dish scenario.

Driving is another thing, remember “Better late than never”. If you don’t want to live, it’s your own life and there are many ways to take it, just don’t drag another innocent one with you!!!

ohhhhh and the BIG thing is me going through caffeine withdrawal x( ouch … I think it’ll take me a week to be fully must-have-coffee-in-the-morning FREE

Mubarak 3alakom el-shahar
