Lunch Invitation

This is how it goes when I invite my neighbour over to lunch or dinner.

اليوم الغدا عندي

لااااا مابي أتعبج … مالا داعي

عادي اشفيج … أنا بسوي بسوي و بحسب احسابج معاي

متاكده أخاف وايد عليج

and it goes like this everytime.

Here’s how when she invites me over.

اليوم الغدا عندي

OK

Unless I ate or am tired, I accept invitations :P Madree, maybe the social thing is to say NO at first.

Today I bought meat. Here’s moi multitasking :D

Faj3a Day

Hungry

Hungry

Every Wednesday, is our faj3a day for roro and I. This has been going for sometime now.

There comes a time, when only JUNK food satisfies your hunger ;) No matter how much grilled, sautéed, boiled you digest, there’s still something calling for more, more of something different, something greasy, something that transfers you to a higher place from the first bite after so many days of deprivation.

On days like these, plans are made a week ahead ;P

OK, can we go to Tikka, then McDonald’s then chocolate bar for desserts … I think we can ;)

This week, the eid break, I have stuffed myself to the fullest, I couldn’t sleep yesterday from the tummy ache I had. Starting tomorrow insha’Allah, body detoxification process will be initiated.

And we decided that on our next faj3a day, we’ll try, emphasis on try, to go to a healthy place to avoid the painful agony after a full greasy meal!

Just Thoughts

We need to break the law!

This statement sums up in a nutshell how our lives are … BORING!

boring

We fall into this occurring routine that never ends, we keep saying we need NOT to make our work number one, but we end up doing that … because there is nothing else or we’re too compassionate or workaholics but I’d like to think it’s because there is nothing else

Every now and then we discuss and argue on the same issue and yet we don’t reach a solution

Of course living here in Kuwait isn’t helping at all, it’s somehow not an exciting country, small, familiar and the weather is HOT

I tried to enroll into a programming course but the institute doesn’t offer it so I put that on the shelf

What do you mean you want to break the law, you already did. how many times have you broke the traffic light

That’s old, we need something new

Like what

Don’t know, let’s go crazy

Yeah let’s

…….

offff, malee khilq, I need to sleep

Yeah me too

Yam3awda, we old ladies need to get our old butts to bed and sleep. I am blogging with my eyes half open. Wa7da prays the Fajer and stays awake and the other is up and running around 7.30 AM, who are we kidding about getting crazy, unless we join a crazy person in the group!

To make matters worse, the last exciting thing we did, was making that letter appear on the screen using VHDL programming ;p laaaaa and more exciting when we made it drop randomly hehehehehe -don’t kill me-

Seriously we need HELP .. we are dying of boredom!!

Sweet Memories

I was going through my camera today and realized that I haven’t shared my photos of my Dubai trip ;p So here they are. I think they are OK, since I am not good in photography, but give me some slack ;D ENJOY

note

First day, my brother and I shared a room and of course I woke up early though we slept late. So I left him this “brotherly” note ;P before I headed outside exploring

coolsprite

3aysheen eldoor ;P

burgerking

“الجوع كافر” I haven’t had burger king in ages but everywhere was crowded so we found this semi-crowded and I ate everything!

hamburger

My brother the “وحش”

chickensalad

I had this sweet chicken ceaser salad, but it was too sweet I couldn’t eat it all. If I were in Kuwait, I would’ve had it take away and had my sister taste it, I know she will like it

morroco

This is a Moroccan restaurant we went to, my brother’s dish was so much tastier, he had meat. It was so tender and delicious

lamcyplaza

This is the first complex I walked to alone. Lamcy Plaze, can you see the crazy clown up and down the pole. He’s fake. But that was creeeepy!

baloon

We didn’t have time to ride this :(

beautifuldresses

Me like the dresses but they were expensive

These are cool statues we found in a shop, terminator, predator and many others. They come in many sizes

car

carhandle

This is the car we rented to drive around. SOOOO outdated, notice the windows handles ;P and where the speed meters are! So damn FUNNY. We had a blast driving that thing around

learndrive

They had these all over the place, I guess everyone was learning how to drive. It has a funny name
“بالحصا … غصب طيب تتعلم ولا نحوكك وحدة”

lostindubai

lostindubai2

The time we got lost trying to reach China Town, hehehe, it was hilarious!

Surprisingly, the map we used to get around. Damn, my brother can drive and masha’Allah know his way around using that map only :D

Double 7akra

It was great day, two for the price of one ;)

We went to two movies on the same day and it was smooth and actually FUN

Lesson learned, reservations were made since last Thursday, we belonged to “بسم الله متى مداهم احجزوا” group ;D

It was just the kinda thing that breaks your work week into something relaxing and spend time with friends

We first saw Wall-E it was nice but I thought it was going to be better, but we all loved HIM and his romance interest EVIE … even robots fall in love … ’7oosh wallah

Of course Will Smith’s Hancock, I can see where the critics come from, it could have been so much better, nevertheless, I just went to the movie because he is in it and he delivered magnificently. Of course, it was cut in many places, I don’t know why they don’t just restrict based on age and get it over with! As if people haven’t seen kisses or cinema love scenes!!

I love summer because many movies are released, batman should be interesting, hellboy II, sisterhood of the travelling pants, all are sequels, ice age III, these are the ones I remember

rhan910l

So how about we do this double thing again ;D We’ll take a rest and wait for good movies to come out :)

Emotional Thoughts

“You always keep things bottled up inside” that’s what my sister tells me always

But today I think ‘بطيت الجربه’ and still we have hours before the day ends

How can I describe my day so far, crappy crappy crappy …

In the morning my sister calls and I pour my heart out, that’s #1 mild weeping over the phone

Next Maha sends an email as usual we exchange now and then, email conversations, and if there is ‘te7eldom’ over the email I did that too and finally poor Rania

That woman either loves me so much or someone ‘da3ee 3aleeha’ today, I literary was screaming over the phone and of course crying at the same time!! If she was in front of me, she would’ve caught some on my spit over her face -poor roro-

I have a problem with crying, not the lack of it but of it, if I could take it out I would and stop me crying all together!

So I did my boo-hoo-ing three times, over to the best three people in my life

My cousin’s ‘miljah’ is today and in the saloon as I was doing my hair, few tears escaped as I was looking into the mirror, I was horrified that the lady will see me and think why am I crying as if she was doing something wrong or the simple fact I am crazy!

I am torn between leaving this all behind e and having a good time, I always wear my emotions can’t hide them, but as it is said by all three “f*ck them, don’t let them get to you”, isn’t weird how you all said the same thing one way or the other

LOVE YA ALL

Friends Forever

images

It’s funny how old friends remind you of who you were. Basically when you meet an old friend you haven’t seen for years, they can either notice the drastic change or the fact that you haven’t changed a bit.

Change to most people is the obvious, the physical aspect. Got fatter, thinner, uglier, prettier, taller, shorter, same old samo, changed but can’t define it, etc. But once you get passed that, you’ll notice what’s important.

Reminiscing is the best part, about your high school life. The journey we took so far. Who we were and who we are now. How we grew older but when we sit together seems like we are still the same high school girls expecting and anticipating the future ahead of us. We summarize the period we were apart over a hot cup of coffee. We don’t care how loud we get or how silly we seem. Two 25 year olds running across the street to hug, holding hands and jumping, our voices hit a high pitch note that is beyond human comprehending.

We laugh at our silly moments, glow at our achievements and get serious and our eyes tear up a bit at the disappointments, the shattered dreams, the hardships, about how we so much missed each other. How we sometimes we wish to go back to a time, standing under the shades waiting for our parents to pick us up from school. Complain about homework, teachers, exams or just how long does it take our parents to pick us up!!!!! Talk about the present and the future. Hopefully by the time we meet again, we’ve gotten all that we wish for.

To see the many compromises your friend has made that you would never expect to do just to carry on. How life isn’t too keen on them. You know for sure that whatever step they are taking will surely not make them as happy as they believe it will, but you don’t utter a word and cling so desperately along with them in hopes for the best and deep down inside you know this won’t break them and for a fact you are always there for them to help them get back on track.

It’s like a deep look into your life. They have seen at least a glimpse of your dreams and hopes as a teenager and they remind you of every promise you gave and every plan you made. What you kept and how far you went.

Sure you laugh and have so much fun and go shopping. But you know that as soon as you head hits the pillow on your bed, you’ll start contemplating about how you are doing so far.

Nevertheless, you can’t stop the smile that slowly creeps un-noticeably now and then after they have left. How happy you both are. Because both of you have a fresh image of each other, the smiley faces, the laughter and giggles, that you’ll again remember, miss and look forward to until the next visit.

Girls FUN night out

ONE

NOOOO WAIT

TWO

NOOOOOOOOOO

THREE, damn I didn’t pull hard enough. GO. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I closed my eyes for a second and then opened to see how fast we were going. How can this be anything but spectacular, refreshing, fun and so lively?

The best fun time I had in soooo long, I haven’t felt this young and alive. We girls went to Sha’ab. I was dying to have a go at this jump game I dunno what they call it, bungee jumping perhaps. I tried convincing my sister but she didn’t want to. So Maha decided to have a go and then Rania surprisingly decided to join us too. I think because she was hungry and her senses didn’t work well ;P she screamed her lungs off: waaayyyyyy, my eyes are bleeding!!!. I’m like: woman, you come up with the funniest comments when you’re scared. seriously how can someone articulate such phrase in that state of mind *I’m still laughing*

6ab3an me, you can’t depend on me for any comfort when I’m having sooo much FUN, hehehehe. I was laughing and enjoying myself ;P

Rania was saying, I changed my mind I want to go down

Me thinking: well it’s a little bit too late for that
But actually saying: close your eyes. You won’t feel a thing. Khalas, it’s not that high aslan.

Don’t know what Maha was saying because all I can hear was Rania’s screaming. But eventually Rania cooled down and I could hear that Maha was enjoying the ride :D

When I pulled that string, I wanted to do it AGAIN. I can see my sister from high above and I was waving to her. She was filming us, but we were too far away so the video wasn’t clear enough.

Next time I’m taking my sister with me. She needs to experience this :D

I couldn’t sleep that night from all the excitement. My legs were twitching on their own!!!

We tried most of the games there, even the slides. Nothing matches a good girls night out, having FUN and then eating a delicious dinner at Johnny Carino’s :D

They did it AGAIN

شرايج أقول حق البنات ايوني الأحد

عاد اهما قالوا خل نطلع, بس جنا يبي يطلعون ما يبون يقعدون بالبيت

لا كل مكان زحمة

اي و الله خلاص انا أقولهم

The day started beautifully early in the morning, can’t help it if I’m a morning person ;D

I had to go to the bank on the way I forgot! So I redirected to another bank. Went to Starbucks then to the saloon to do my hair. Finished early, called for an appointment to have my nails done. I was soooo happy. No matter how tough the girl looks, she doesn’t mind pampering now and then ;)

Is it my mistake if I arrived at my sister’s house early? I didn’t recognize the cars, maybe I entered the wrong house, no that’s their tree, I pushed the door it locked, maybe the other door and it’s locked too.

Called Fatma, your door is locked.
No come to the other door
Maybe I didn’t push hard enough, I thought to myself

It was dark inside, why didn’t Fatma open the lights.

Of course for a second there I thought something was wrong and I calculated in my mind how to break the door and see if she is in trouble, I have to get something metallic to break through their thick glass …, I know I’m sick but I can’t help it!

Anyway there was a blaze of light in the middle that can be seen through the glass door, then she opened the door, SURPRISE!! They were having a birthday party for me. I was sooo shocked and my embarrassing wobbly reaction came to life. OH MY GOD, guys you shouldn’t have done that.

They got me!! I didn’t see that one coming. Now I can fit all the pieces together. Why Rania didn’t want me to pick her up. Maha didn’t want me to bring desert. Fatma didn’t want her nails done.

They had all the party planned out. We danced, played games, chat, ate, etc. They were all wearing green because Fatma asked me what are you wearing for the gathering. I innocently replied, I just got my green skirt dry cleaned, I’m going to wear that. I had so much fun that we didn’t notice how time went by really fast.

As I was driving home listening to the radio, I was singing with Avril:
When your gone the pieces in my heeeeeart ….. I missss yoooooooou … tra tra … humming and swaying in the car. It was a sad song, but I was singing along with a smile on my face.

I love you guys. This day I will never ever forget. Thank you for making my 25th a day to remember :*

PS: The best thing about getting presents is opening them. I LOVED them all. The CD is amazing. I laughed like hell last night. You got talent sis ;*
