9udaf!

First off, I would like to wish my few readers a very happy new year.  I hope this year brings the best to everyone.  :)

During the 3eed el ath7a holiday a friend of mine and I went to London.  I took a couple of days off work and went before the 3eed rush started.  It was actually a wonderful vacation, very relaxing, woke up extra early, walked around and enjoyed the beautiful weather at that time, saw the christmas decorations and met up with random friends.

On the plane to london there were 5 guys with us (i think) all with shaved heads, I even thought to myself, 7aram their heads are going to freeze unless they wear a hat, thank god for long hair :p  thats not the weird part of the trip, the weird part was my friend and I kept on bumping into them the whole trip! Ya3ni ish-hal 9uuudaf! Even people with me at work, in the same building I rarely bump in to them, if ever!

The first time we saw them other than the airport was at the movies.  My friend wanted to watch New Moon and I was tired + hungry, we entered the theater and the lights were off so we sat in the first seats we saw.  I went out to get popcorn and when I came back my friend told me to notice the people infront of us, wela it was the same guys that were with us on the plane, ga3deen in the row eli jedamna.  6ab3an they heard me complaining before the movie started at how hungry I was and how stupid the movie is lol!

Two days later I decided I wanted to go to Bicseter Village, so we took the train and spend a couple of hours shopping.  3ala akher sa3a we were walking to the last store we wanted to go to wela some of the guys were right in front of us, ya3ni out of all the days and times we are there at the same time.

A couple of days later my aunt and cousin told us to meet them in selfridges oo 3ala ma we were waiting we decided to do out tax free, as we walked I saw them and I got madry shloon ya3ni bas khalas I just wanted to laugh in their faces cuz seriously ya3ni lol!

And on our last day in london I was in a hurry and needed to get some stuff so as I was rushing through in selfridges (again) pushing people out of my way (cuz they are tall and in my way) wela ashoofhum again.  Ya3ni sij sij sij random 9udaf! Ya3ni I dont bump into people this much in Kuwait! Actually I rarely bump into people like this in Kuwait.  Soo Weird!

Klue!

To get out of the usual boring weekend routine of eating, shopping and chilling my friends and their friends decided to do Klue. Klue is a treasure hunt/scavenger hunt around kuwait. We were two teams of 5 girls each, well we were supposed 2 be 5 grls each bas maskeena one of the girls on the other team got sick and couldn’t make it. It was sooo mcuh fun, I haven’t had this much fun in so long. I’m really competitive so the adrenaline rush I got from the game was amazing. We literally went around kuwait, from free trade zone to avenues to mashatel to imbarikiya, 7adeeqat el shi3ib and bil ghalaaaaa6 we went 2 f7ai7eel lol!! But we won!! ;p we named our selves team jlai3a … We even made shirts .. 7adna mishta6een ha? ;p

Klue is set up by Dhari Al Mouawad, you could read more about him and the game on www.p0ach.com … I would link the page directly but I’m blogging from my fone and I dunno how 2 do that. Anyways just search for klue and you’ll find it.

Or you could contact him through these methods

Been so long!

Wow, I can’t believe I haven’t blogged in almost 6 months.  Ma 3indi salfa and that is why I haven’t written in so long.  Not much has happened, I traveled, started work again, got a new car,  got an extension on my dissertation and the icing on the cake was that I embarressed my self on TV.

How did I embaress my self on TV?  I come home from work one day and shocked to have found our house turned upside down with cameras all around for an interview with my mom.  After a 5 minute negotiation with my aunt (which I lost) she forced me to get ready and be on TV with my mother.  Ofcourse I tried every trick in the book to get out of it, but I couldn’t, my negotiation skills are not as good as theirs ofcourse.  Anyways, when the cameras started rolling my heart was beating so hard I dunno why! I was SO NEROVUS and scared.  It was a bigger fear than when I speak in public (giving presentations and stuff).

6ab3an the guy asked me a question and I answered it in the WORST WAY POSSIBLE.  Ya3ni badliya min umaaah lool.  Ofcourse my friends ma ir7amooni min il ti3yb.  The interview was a couple of months ago and my friend and family will STILL not let me live it down :p  I was so nervous that what I wanted to say came out in a completely wrong way …. OOPS :p

Back in Kuwait

Finally! I am back in Kuwait! I have been here for a couple of days but I have been out of the coverage area. The day I arrived I slept for 13 hours, I have not slept that long in ages!! As I was trying to fall asleep tawa, ga3adt atgalab bas il noom mo yayly chan astaw3ib laish .. ana mayta min il yoo3! I’m really starving for some reason, Anyways … I have good and bad news .. but I will start with the good news ..

1.  I PASSED THE CLASS!!!! I emailed the prof and the head of the department and I stated my case and my side of the story, basically telling them that its not fair for them to fail me I dont think I deserve to fail and they passed me. (Intlxpatr was right, negotiation does work haha!)

2. My friend Nwair is graduating from jam3a .. YAAAY!!!!!!

I think thats the good news for now .. now on with the bad news .. well its bad news for me …

Coming back to Kuwait I flew Emirates airlines because I found a really good deal and I had to take it.  So I checked in on time, shopped a little in Terminal 3 of heathrow then headed up to the lounge.  As I was sitting enjoying staring aimlessly out of the window at the planes coming and going I heard my name over the speakers.  so I went to see the main reception of the lounge and the lady working there told me that while trying to load my bag into the plane the tag was lost which basically meant that my bag was lost.  I had two suitcases and one of them was lost.  The one that got lost had my nice shoes and if you know me, you know how hard it is for me to find shoes.  I would go into a store tell them my size and get laughed at. the bag also had the stuff I got for my mom and other people, and most importantly it had my new straightner! I had just bought it two weeks ago oo jaad ma 6ala3t qeemta! I don’t even remember what else was in there, bas I know most of the stuff I bought on the last day I was in london was in that bag.I am SOOO angry at Emirates Airlines, I mean how could they lose a bag an hour after I checked it in! And they still cannot locate it.  Before I borded the plane they told me that they will probably locate it once I get to Kuwait, and still no news at all.  You know what   kills me, its not the amount of money I paid for my things, but some of the things I got were found while I was lost.  I’d be walking around trying to find a specific place and on the way I find these cute little boutiques and I end up going in and getting stuff.  I am so frustrated!!!! I want to go into the place where they have all their unclaimed bags and try to find mine!!

——
On a completly other note, I arrived at around 9:15 PM, and when I came home there was machboos deyay waiting to be devoured by me.  Akhhhhh I ate like a little girl (yeah right).  Yala ye3t baroo7 ashoofli shay akla.

Seriously … F**** my bad grade …. I just left the britney spears concert and I had an amazing time…I love her!! Sorry no pics this time! There was a spotlight on her at all times that any pictures were horrible. Our place was amazing and the concert was awesome. She rocks!!!!! Videos are coming soon I promise.

I can’t believe it

I was checking my grades today and I failed one of my classes.  I have never ever failed anything before in my life, EVER.  All through my undergrad years to me a C+ was a fail! and I FAILED THE CLASS THAT I THOUGHT I DID SO WELL IN! The only assessment in that class is a research paper, and I thought the paper I wrote was very good.  I based my writing style, my research and my analysis on the grading criteria that they gave us, and I failed.
I am one point away from the passing grade, I can’t believe he didn’t give me that one point.  That means I have to write a whole new paper at the same time that I am trying to research and write my dissertation.  I am still in shock, oo wala 7ada thayeg khulgi mani em9adga.

Guess the celebrity

Guess where I was last night….

concert
Did you guess who that is?  I got videos that I will upload later… one way to sum it up .. AMAZING!
