I would’ve loved to hear my baby say ‘it’s deliskious’ after having his very first pasta meal today just like the Rugrats would do.

I’d simply say scrumptious …

What happened to my old desk?

It’s really freaking me out because it reminds me of the two-headed monster on Sesame Street. I have to put up with that every Saturday!!

I can’t seem to get enough sleep at all. I’m afraid I have turned into my baby because I just can’t sleep through the night anymore. I’ve been sleeping around 11pm, waking up around 2am every day and then going back to sleep. I’d get up again for work in the morning but I always end up getting to work 30 minutes late. I feel I have been programmed to do this everyday. I’m so getting in trouble if I continue like this.

This month I’ve noticed how my baby was eager to imitate many sounds I make like a cough and how can I forget when he wants attention he shouts. And I’ve been associating my baby with more animals like fish and bull.

The other day my baby was trying very hard to blow me a kiss but the funny thing he only managed to suck in all his cheeks and he has begun to make the fishy face all on his own. I laughed so hard. I’ve never seen such a funny face in my whole life and never did I expect to see it on my baby.

Which also reminds me of the day he first noticed his fingers and toes, then weeks later I saw him pull his big toe into his mouth lol. Some other times my baby tries to crawl around just to look more like a lost fish swimming in an aquarium.

I have also seen my baby turn into a raging baby bull only with no horns, and that’s every time I put him to bed I’d usually get a lot of head digging into my pillow which makes it hard for me to settle down to sleep.

There’s nothing new about my baby other than learning how to pull up to a standing position by holding onto any surface and sometimes wanting to stand all on his own.

There’s this one thing I hate so much about my baby it’s whenever he gets upset not only does he cry and screams at the top of his lungs but he’d arch his back all to the end.

It’s about time to talk about the new reception guy at work. The guy had gotten married two months ago and just got back from his holiday. The first security guard took a 2 months vacation leave and I believe this new guy is his temporary replacement. Lately, whenever I come in I’d have to knock on the glass door and usually it’s open unless he deliberately shuts it closed. It’s extremely annoying. 

Now it’s not so funny anymore because he does it on a daily basis so he would start a conversation with me and my co-worker. Here’s the nasty part of the story. One day my co-worker had to go to the toilet to discover a foul smell. I won’t continue on with the rest of the details.

We called in the cleaning lady and she told us that the ladies toilet is frequently used by many male office workers on our floor especially the new reception guy even though they’ve got their own toilets somewhere around this floor. What we saw is nothing comparing to what she cleans up every day. I was so furious!! I asked her not to clean the toilet at all or at least have her manager put a lock on the door. The thing is the door needs to be replaced because a lock can’t be easily installed and it costs kd 3000!

After Memoo’s honour ceremony last month we all went to Gaucho Grill for the very first time to celebrate. I felt like leaving the restaurant the minute the waiter told us with pride that there was no non-smoking area. It left me puzzled.

It was the first restaurant to leave a bad impression on all of us, it’s as though their message was so loud and clear that non-smokers are not welcomed in here. I thought other countries are banning smoking in public places while this restaurant states with clear pride that it doesn’t even have a non-smoking area.

Anyways, we found an empty space upstairs so we changed our mind immediately esp. after checking out their menu. I have to say they’ve got the best steak I’ve ever had, unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy my meal very much when some lady on the table next to us started smoking one cigarette after the other.

I have to add that Le Relais de l’Entrecote is another steak restaurant I went to a few weeks before which had no non-smoking area, in spite of their very tasty food. I say such restaurants should put up a sign that bluntly reads ’only smokers are allowed in here!” In this way people like me won’t think about eating there in the first place and as well to avoid any embarrassment this may cause.

Out of all the cafes I’ve been to I believe that Starbucks is the only one that maintained an excellent atmosphere for non-smokers, especially the one at ThePalms Hotel. I was even more surprised to know the other day on my anniversary that Le Notre cafe (Gulf Rd) haven’t got a non-smoking area. As it seems non of these places care much about what we inhale in but actually care much more about their business income.

At first I read it as FAT but then I looked at it again and it said F4T (now that sounds like a plane to me) which actually stands for Food 4 Thought. I’m not so sure which effect they were after but I like it anyways.

I placed my happy order yesterday at work. I had the Halloumi Heaven sandwich and carrot juice. It was very tasty except for the Rocca leaves, I really thought having it in a sandwich is a bit weird but then again it’s not your regular Halloumi sandwich this had balsamic vinegar added to it giving it a tangy yummie taste. It’s more like a Greeky salad only in Saj. It was very filling.

When it was time to leave I got in the lift. It was packed to the brim and I couldn’t help but laugh when someone said: “how in the hell can I get off the next floor!” I swear I never sucked in my tummy as much as this time. The funny thing the restaurant calls back to check on everything and I thought great timing. I couldn’t say much while I was trying not to laugh, I thanked the guy over the phone who barely even heard me because it was breaking up a lot. But I really thought that was such a great service.

Before digging in I took this last snap shot. 

Ps. I forgot to mention that I paid Kd 2.200 which is a little expensive for one order.
