Achievement...

I can't believe my eyes. I've just finished writing my stupid 2000-word assignment on "Strategic Management" that is due at 4.30pm today. I'm so proud of myself, been working my ass off continuously since Tuesday. 3 hours of sleep with nightmares of my stupid teacher screaming at me for not attending his boring tutorials, countless mugs of my tea with milk <3, KrispyKremes, Walkers, 816,927 hours of talking to Reem shai5at il7areem to make sure i don't fall asleep...

The thing is, I don't understand why I've been clueless for the past month. I seriously did not have any idea whatsoever on how to answer that assignment, and last night, the assignment question was kind of clearer to me and the ideas started flowing just because the deadline was in less than 24 hours, so i kept writing and writing till i realised it was 7am and I was done. I reached the word limit. I explained all my points. Perfect! Although I'm exhausted, I still want to help Fred with his HRM assignment. Bloody uni... Almost everyone i know is stressed out and suffering from a messed up biological clock and a sleeping-disorder.

Thought I'd have to congratulate Noor, my little sister (who happens to be taller than me), and record this in her educational history. Nini, I'm so proud of you.. Your report card is fantastic this time. Straight A's in Maths and Chemistry has been mama's dream for the past (few months/year?). HAHA! Keep it up, you lazy smart kid lol! Basich mn the OC ow One-Tree-Hill thing!

Another thing, I don't understand why many people are disappointing me these days.. Not that my expectations are high, I'm realistic. It bothers me so much that I still find it hard to tell people that I'm disappointed or angry at them. I can only tell few ppl, with others i just go quiet. The fact that I don't speak up and tell them in the face doesn't give them the right to disappoint me again. Whatever now...I'm too exhausted to even think about this. I need to rest and sleep for at least 12 hours. I really miss my bedroom in Bahrain 7adha malat rgaad =D

I'm off. Have a good day!

Going insane - educational reasons..

All these are due within the next two weeks or so, which explains
why i'm losing my mind. lol

Brothers and Relationships

I've been thinking about brothers and relationships for a while. I'm wondering if brothers do really accept the fact that their sister has a boyfriend...Do they take it the way we (girls) react when we find out that our brother has a girlfriend? I realized that most brothers “say” they’re totally fine with it, when it’s the total opposite. The question is, WHY do they pretend to be cool with it while they KNOW they’re not. Why can’t they just admit that they don’t like the idea and don’t respect it at all?

Group 1
“Retarded sexist bro” - Brother makes it clear he doesn’t want his sister to have a boyfriend. If he finds out she has one, he almost opens fire on her. He believes he has the right to have a girlfriend. Sister doesn’t have the right to love.

Group 2
“Cool-bro Wannabe” - Brother who pretends he doesn’t accept the fact that his sister has someone. If he finds out she has one, the reaction would be worse than Group 1.

Group 3
"Cool brothers" - Ones who know how to respect their sisters choices and decisions she makes in her life.

I believe most of the men in Bahrain and the GCC in general either belong to Group 1 and 2.. Lucky are the ones who have understanding brothers.

What type of brother do you bloggers have?

PS: I’m not talking about relationships when girls are teenagers, I mean when they’re grown up in their twenties and having a proper relationship.

Trying is always good!

While reading the blogs and moving from a blog to another looking for interesting things to read, I came across a blog that grabbed my attention. I found it amazing or at least, gave me the impression that the blogger is someone without "dead" brain cells. To be precise, the post that I loved was about her experience with job hunting in Kuwait and how much she suffered. So I emailed her, telling her I really liked her blog and that I wanted to add her to my BlogRoll..She replied back and told me to add her to her msn.

Anyways, in that particular post, she was talking about how hard it is to find a job in Kuwait, although she's a fresh Kuwaiti graduate. She also talked about how non-hijabis are not accepted in Islamic banks and other stuff as well. It reminded me in summer 2005 when I applied for an internship in Kuwait Finance House in Bahrain. I was rejected because I wasn't covering my hair with a scarf. How sick does that sound? They said they would've taken me if I was mit7ajbah... I'm not against the 7ijab idea or anything.. sooner or later, i will wear it just like any other girl, but its totally my decision when to wear it.

It also reminded me in how much female Chemical Engineering graduates suffer in Bahrain. They never get jobs in their field because they're women even if they don't mind working in a rough environment. It's as simple as that.

Another point in how fucked up the GCC society is when it comes to mixing culture with Islam. Quite alot of people in Bahrain do that and its getting disgusting. Bahraini bloggers, please don't deny that ALOT of people do that. Thank god my family aren't people with dead brain cells, but yeah, many are. For example, you see a father drinking and pimping and when he goes home, he forces his daughter/wife to wear Hijab and all.. What's his excuse? "Islam says women have to cover their hair with a scarf at the age of 9." He might be right but he's not even religious enough to use such excuses. Was drinking ever halal in Islam?

Things like that make people so retarded. I hope our society changes one day, if not for us, for the next generations...

No3ik, you go girl ;) !

Plans of the week

Plans for this week:

- Re-adjust my f**ked up biological clock.
- Study for the Information Management test on Thursday.
- Try not to miss any classes (sadly, in my dreams).
- Help Fred & Looney(?) with the flat hunting thing. I love this process.
- Print some photographs of my family. I miss them badly
- Stop drinking coke and replace it with water. I think i'm the only person on earth who hates water. This is BAD.
- Accept the fact that i'm allergic to 9an6ara :( I love it.
- Hate BT for the rest of my life :) - not counted as a plan though...

I'm too lazy to use my brain now. It's 5am.
Might update later on.

Woohoo! Weekend

This was one hell of a week! Hectic and Eventful. Had flu since Sunday and still didn't recover completely *cough*, two exams, and of course finished off my logbook for the MSIT class or else Mr.Desta would hang me instead of hanging Saddam Hussain.
Here comes the weekend, therefore, I will reward myself and go shopping sometime tomorrow or the day after. I need some red high heels like the ones in "The Devil Wears Prada"!!
Souska - I forgot my Smashing Pumpkins CD in Bahrain. Will get one from Virgin Stores 2mrw!

I love my pink flowers <3 Need to get some flower food so they stay alive for a long time =) cute stuff, v12 ;)
Will watch Mr.Bean's 7alqa now and sleep.
Good Night!

Go Shorty! It's your birthday (8)...

I finally turned 21 !!!! I just got back from my lil bday dinner...
I'll keep this short and simple as i'm too happy to put it in words..
Thank you sooo much for everything you've done, v12 and Qalaqimicious.. I can't live without you two. <3 u loads! And thanx to all those who called or texted =)

There's only so much you can learn in one place
The more that I wait, the more time that I waste
I havn't got much time to waste
It's time to make my way
I'm not afraid of what I'll face
But I'm afraid to stay
I'm going down my road and I can make it alone
I'll work and I'll fight till I find a place of my own
[Chorus]
Are you ready to jump?
Get ready to jump
Don't ever look back oh baby
Yes, I'm ready to jump
Just take my hand
Get ready to jump!

Jump - Madonna .. in the background(8)

I wonder what the future holds =)

Peace y'all

Turning 21 this Thursday :)

Yippeeee! I'm turning twenty-one on the 9th of November. I now have the right to VOTE! Feels good :) :) www.vote4bahrain.com check this out.

For some reason, I downloaded "Get the party started - Pink". Reminds me in the Dusty Dayyyyyys..... "Ayaam el tanjarah"

Those who are 21 or over.. How did it feel like when you turned twenty-one?
By the way, I think someone killed the lady in flat 5. I don't hear anything mn her flat and no-one visits her at all. She might be away on holiday or something? Although I hate her, I hope she's not dead :(

Mahmood AlYousif - Congratulations! They finally unblocked your blog. I'm so happy :)

Lulu - Sleeping pills might work this time. Although i'm against using sleeping pills, i think i'm better off getting them. I know mama is going to kill me if she finds out lol =)

Will try to sleep now.
Nightie Night everyone
