Change of Scenery

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

I wasn’t so sure when I first saw this but my friends confirmed it for me. Some ladies have stopped exercising on trails anymore which are intended originally for walking and jogging (mamsha) and started heading to malls instead, like Mohallab. If you’re on the last floor and if you stick around long enough you’ll notice that you’ll see the same lady marching about in circles with her ipod on. It seems ladies favour malls over trails now just to avoid the heat, I don’t blame them but I’d still rather see them back on trails or on treadmills at the gym or home. I sometimes walk around in malls for the sake of moving my limbs but not in that obvious manner, plus it just doesn’t look good at malls.

Weekend plans

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Things I want to get done this weekend:

Top on my list:

1. Letting a physician have a look at Teresa’s blood and urine test results.

2. Tidy up my place, mostly washing and folding clothes. I’m so not looking forward to that.

3. Calling up meemo to see when she’s coming back from Dubai.

4. Taking my coworker to the the salon to get her ready for her wedding day which is about 1 or 2 weeks away.

5. Buy buns and sliced cheese so I can make burgers for tonight.

Bottom on my list:

1. Watching 24.

2. Potty train Hasson, which is unlikely to happen anytime soon because he’s scared of it. I don’t think I’ll have enough patience.

3. I really want to rest as soon as I get back home.

I know I’m not going to stick to this plan and I might end up doing what’s on the bottom on my list first but at least I’m going to do something.

Missing toys

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

One day, a couple of months ago as I was putting Hasson’s toys away I noticed that there were many of his toys gone missing. I kept looking and looking for the missing toys and they were nowhere to be seen. I thought the only way to find out what happened to them is to retrace my baby’s steps. I remembered that last time he was seated close to the tv speakers, I looked about then it striked me that he must have stashed the toys inside the speakers and I was right. I tried to squeeze my arms through and not only did I find all his missing toys but I also found a whole bunch of my stuff stashed in there lol. Slowly I took one toy after the other and I turned the speakers upside down, got out two more. It’s funny how little kids get themselves in funny, sometimes dangerous situations when a parent is busy doing something else lol.

I’m into 24

It’s crazy but I think I’m addicted to 24, I’ve watched 6 episodes of season one all in one go and I can’t get enough of it.

Waking up early

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

I’m always stressed out during weekdays because I have to be at work at 7am and usually I’m awake by 4:30am … I just can’t sleep without worrying I’d be late to work. So basically I’d be out of the house by 6:45am which gives me more than enough time to get to work on time.

All I think about in the morning is getting to work early, whatever it takes, and I can never feel at ease until I’m sitting on my desk drinking tea. Before my manager asked me to start coming a bit early to work I used to be happily awake at 5:30am and I’d usually get to work by 7:45am.

Conclusion:
1. I need to wake up two hours prior to the target time.
2. It’s only 45 minutes earlier than the usual but still I find it so hard to do anything.

Money Trouble

Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

I know a girl who’s borrowing so much money and not paying back. She took around 178 kd from four different girls and a total 100 kd worth of eZee cards. Total: 278 kd. Plus she hasn’t paid for her new mobile phone and now everyone is asking for their money. She has a job and gets paid 330 kd. But she might get sacked out soon. I feel sorry for her but helping her out is not the solution, she has to learn what she did was so wrong.

Got promoted

Monday, June 11th, 2007

I’m happy about it but at the same time I don’t think it’s right to celebrate when my brother’s ill and the girls at work are pushing me to do something big, can’t blame them they still don’t know anything. I’m still not sure I want to share with them anything just yet. So after some thinking I’ve decided I want to do a little breakfast at work but the girls don’t agree and will never do, they really want to go out instead. It’s hard to please everyone and esp. my co-workers but I’ve made up my mind about it.
