Thoughts

hey all ,

been thinking should i update or not .. and if am going to update, update with what ??I dont have real topic to update with but i have a collection of thoughts that I want to share them with you guys ..

First Thought ,,

1- memory ..

living in kuwait .. living in kuwait was really diffrent than living in oman .. diffrent social life .. specially that am livng there with a family and here living by my self .. and that there so many places you can go to in kuwait ..

seems kuwait is better right ?? where the family and the social life and all the big malls ..

but I really feel inlove with Oman .. yeah Muscat is like a dead city no activity at all after 12 clock am but i am changing too .. am not that active person who likes to go to busy places i've changed as i changed the cities and thats wierd ..

2-Omanization ,,,

oh yes I think , I have all the right to talk about Oman as i consider it my home ..

What do you think about Omanization do you think it is working ? am not talk about the companies thing and pertrolium companies am talking about those small markets and supermarkets do you think it is good idea that omanies work there ?
do you know many of those shops are owned byt indian and they closed becouse they could afford paying a salary for omani .. and they were offended that they own this shop so why they should hire some one to treat them like a servant !!

and hey think about the next step Omanies gonna work in barbers and Saloons ..

am not insulting any one am not saying that all of them are not good .. but ..Deja vu any one ??
why they dont do it in steps ?did those ppl recieved any type of training .. ?? ? I doubt it ..


3- Last thought ..

I was in a meeting today .. for 3 hours ... they were discussing million things then accepted them then refuse them again ..I hate meetings .. I didnt have launch becouse of this silly meeting and am really hungry while am typing this entry .. actualy a freind is wating for me to finish so we could go to city center ..

so see ya later i wont kept him waiting for so long :)

Tip of the day : if you dont feel like to update .. Dont because you will just wright silly things and you will call them thoughts :)

Luck !!

woke up at 7:30 today .. its weekend but i woke up cause I have to call the guys from omantel to activate the phone for me !! I callled them they were really nice to me .. they said that they have one line to fix in the university before they drive to me in Mawalih around 9 -9:30 I was like Fine ok I will wait .. and I was kinda happy cause they treated me -Unusually- like a customer ..

I picked up a book to read for the next 2 hours becouse I just cant sleep after waking up ..

at 9:30 the door bell Raaang tweeet tweeet tweeet ( I dont know why they make it like a bird .. it makes you feel you are in a jungle , stupid ppl any way !! )

I opened the door and guesss what !! it was Omantel technician !! at 9:30 !! just like what they said in the phone !! I was like going to hug him but thought it will looks weird


.. the man entered checked the wires everything was ok .. then he was just like looking for something and he could'nt find it .. Then he asked me about some wires and if there is another centeral box .. I Looked around its really small apartment with two rooms does he expcets to have 5 central boxes or what !! any way I said No .. he checked from the main box down stairs then he checked again from the box inside the apartment .. then he gave me that look .. the same look we give to the patient if we are going to break bad news or err to the family of the patient if it was REALY bad news .. and I was like (shaking my head in disbelieve and saying oh no oh no )

He told me that the wires from the main box is not connected to my box .. strange thing it's connected to the other 8 flats in the building EXCEPT ME .."Why me Why me lord Why me "..who was the singer ??

the guy told me that he cant do anything about it .. and i have to contact the owner of the building and cant do it by my self . I was like :"( Thanks for comming

The problem is some one from omantel visited the building ten days earlier and said everythign is OK !!
ahhhhhhhhh GOD I HATE THEM ..

Why ppl cant just do their jobs properly and how comes whenever some one do mistake it happen to be me who is affected only !!!

Do you believe in luck ?? amean being lucky and un lucky .. I dont .. couse if I did then I will find out that am really unlucky which will make me feeling sorry for my self .. and would get depressed ..

Tip of the day : You need Luck to open a phone line in Omantel

Knowledge

Finally I will get my phone inshla by Monday .. Thanks to omantel .. it showed me how prescious the phone is by delaying my request for three weeks for nothing ..

I went to qurum yesterday directly to a big cellular phone shop to fix my I-mate ,, the seller there told me to go upstairs where they do their phone services ..I was impressed that its two floor shop any way ..

there was a que so I stand there wating for my turn .. infront of me there was an old man he looks like a bedwi , uneducated 55-60 years old man with a white beard .. he looks nice mashala even thought he is old .,, and even thoguht he looks like an bedwi and uneducated he looks really respectfull his look maybe the way he dress .. but when ever you see this person you respect him you know what I mean right ? anyway when this old man reach to the technician desk he asked about his phone , the technician who was an Omani guy 22-24 years old , and was smiling stupidly with no eye contact that you feel he was smirking at you .. any way the old man asked if he phone was ready with a simple omani words and pure interior accent .. guess what the technician answered him .. he answered with smirk and head down no eye contact and in english " The telephone is as brand new as possible " just imagine the BIG question mark in the old man face !! "What does that mean , is it working now ? " the old man repeated the question .. the technician gave him another smirk said "aywa aywa " which means yeah yeah ,,

the old man left and I was next in the row .. I gave him the phone and told him that it fall from my hand and I couldnt charge it after that .. he said "ok it will cost you 20 R.O to fix it "with BIG SMIRK I was like Like ?!??!? it is not the price but " And Mashala you diagnose the problem even without looking at the phone so broilliant mashalla .. " at this moment he stoppeded his stupid smile and start looking at the phone and said oh this part is broken and they may have to change it ..

but any way I was So angry that I couldnt control my self " So you couldnt do that before telling me it is 20 ?? " and he was like am sorry whatever ..

it was not the money issue here actually i thought i will pay around 50 rial to fix it so 20 was brilliant price .. but it was the way he said it .. so i think it is another customer service topic .. you can find an interesting one in warda Blog

and it is not only the customer servace whenever you want to talk you have to rspect the educational level of the listener ...


Tip of the day:if you think your knowlegeable there is always some one who would know more than you <--- corrected by warda .. thanks :P

I am Bored

did I use this title before ?? dont know really what type of memory I have !!! .. I have 5 entries or so and I dont remmber their entry yeah I know they are not noble prize novels but atleast I have to remmber my entries .. any way Focus sowhat ..

I was going to talk about social phobia .. but Naaah it would be boring also ....

talking about my life ?? oh please I can hear you saying pleaseeeeeeeee No :) any way I will not, dont panic ..

what should I talk ,about what should I talk about it .. but any way why should I talk aslan .. ?

Yeah I will talk about why am bored .. imagine that you wake up everyday at 6 oclock do the same routine everyday .. looking for the shoe finding it in strange place eveyday .. drive your car finding that your tie look really bad everyday .. trying to drive while you are fixing your tie where the car start bouncing from left to right and everybody start cursing you everyday .. Oh yes .. it is boring life .. reaching the hospital at 7 going into round .. you senior happy .. cause you are good? .. Nah maybe becouse he had good breakfast or his wife was pollite to him today..

you work and work and work .. and go for launch break .. some will remain on call others will go home ... I drive to the university again as I have some work to finish .. I work and use the net everyday till 7-8 pm .. then I leave hunting for a place where I can have dinner in , same dinner every day , same taste whatever you eat everyday .. then go home to read little bit then sleep at 12 or 1 am ..

same life every day ,.. same jokes same quotes same faces , no social life .. yes we have new patients every day .. but they are always sick .. cause they are patients remmber !!

and by the way am not that type of perosn who get bored easilly .. I remmber that my car tape player kept playing the same songs for 3 months .. not even thinking of changing the tape but at the end , even me ( the boring guy ) could got bored .. but anyway i think am getting used to it that am bored .. and that is really scaring me .. am not even trying to escape from it ..

I told you I wont tell you about my life .. but anyway I did ..

Tip of the Day Getting Bored is not bad after all If I were not bored I wouldnt found a topic to talk about !!

My GSM woke me up ,Ii checked my watch it was 7:30 am oclockI answered the phone and it was an old freind calling from US !! looks like he didnt check the time diffrence any way .. i kept talking to him with then we left each other with promises that we would be in touch more often ( like usual) It was really nice of him and I really enjoyed talking to him .. I checked my watch again it was 8:00am.. Went to have a shower , the water pumping was weak but it was ok .. after finishing my shower I start brushing my teeth ( yes am good guy ) when I tried to turn on the tap to wash my mouth I found that there is not water !!! NO WATER .. yes I live in place where tankers do supply us with water ... any way I was like ahh this will not really change my mood I will go and open my fridge find bottle of water and wash my mouth ,, and Guess what ? my only bottle of water that I have was not really closed and there were no water inside it !! do you belive such a luck .. till now I wasnt angry ,cause there is still alot of time my lecture will at 9 and probably there will be quizz but better to rush .. I thought I will go to the nearest supermarket and buy bottle of water to wash my mouth .. when i start drving my beloved car ... i start hearing TRK TRK TRK TRK TRK TRK .. god what is that !! I was starting to get angry any way i contuie drivingthe car far 20 meter or so hopping the sound will disapear by it self !! when it didnt i parked the car and srart checking what could be the cause !! Guess again what I have found out !! two of tires are in the ground !!! I start to be angry now .. I looked at my watch and it was 8:30 now .. argggg start calling my freinds .. first one didnt answer after leaving 2 missedcalls .. second one his phone was off probably was in the hospital .. third was THANKS GOD he answered me .. i told him to come to ma house .. he didnt visit me in the new apaprtment so i was like describing everything till he locate me .. it was around 8:55 .. we were driving really fast around 150 km/h going to the university.. when we reached there we parked the car in blood bank Director private park ( :P) rushed to lecture theatre and attended the lecture ..

Found out that there is not Quizz .. but any way I felt good that i didnt miss the class ..
they told us that there will be seminar for for our group in the hospital in one of the wards .. I was like ok I iwill attend it actually I was really interested since I really like this proffessor .. any way when I reached the hospital I discovered that am not wearing my labcoat cause it is in my car so am not allowed to enter the hospital i.e I cant attend the seminar ..


I was really afraid from the rest of the day at that momnet amean it was for sure the worst day i have for a looooooooooooong time .. the strange thing that .. the events didnt end yet :)

I was walking with my freind ( he didnt attend becouse of the labcoat too ) I checked my grade for the last exam ,, gues what ?? thanks god it was really nice I liked it I was really satisfied .. I went with my freind to my car brought some one to fix the tires .. it turn that some wood ( needle like ) deflated the tire.. it cost me nothing around 3 rial ..

then I went with my freind for launch .. it was wonderfull launch in one of my favourite sea food restaurant "The Turkish House" in al Khuwair ... we split for rest then we met together at 11:30 to see "Sahara" the movie was also really nice film ..

I was smiling when i thought about it before I sleep :)

Break !!

hey all ..

why I start always with hey all ?? I hate it .. but I dont know how to start with out saying it .. any way .. yesterday as some of you know I finished one of the most difficult exams and I felt too tired soo exausted after the exam I wanted to sleap but I was soooo tired to do so , ,did you have this feeling before after finishing something really hectic you cant sleep you are just too tired to do so ..

So I think why dont I have a break... since am starting the new course today and not much will be done in the first week anyway .. now what I was thinking is how am going to spend this break .. travelling to kuwait is cancled as I found my scheudule and I found out that I have presentation in saturday so I have to spend the weekend or at least two days of it preparing for it ..

I looked for one of the novels that I bought from the last muscat book exihibition and forunatly I found one that I didnt read cause some one borrow it from me before I read it .. it is for John Grisham titles "the pelican Brief" iti s really nice story I finished 180 pages before I feel that I need something to drink .. when I went to the kitchen I found out that AS USUAL my fridge is empty ... except an old cheese slides and I really forgot when I bought them .. maybe they are just expirered.. (YES AM LAZY) any way I thought I should go to city center and start buying stuff for the fridge I always say that I will do it later untill i have NOTHING there .. as am living in mawalih I drove my car listening to an old song for Eagles called in the hotel of california .. or something like this .. yes I used to love eagles .. now am not really interested in songs ..

reaching there at 7 oclock it was bit difficult finding a park for your car but thanks god I was kinda lucky .. any way I marched to carfoure .. when I reached there .. I thought about buying some accessories for the new appartment .. you know some pictures frames .. lights whatever ..

then I saw somethign really made me remmber an old hobby strange one actually I really enjoy gardening in our house garden in kuwait. strange ha ?? so I bought seed of some flowers , soil , and some plant food and rushed to my appartment seed the soil and water it .. and am waiting .. whatever the outcome .. I really enjoyed it and it made me really relax ..

any way when things grow I will picture them

Tip of the day .. No matter how weird your hobby is just do it and have Fun ...

I want to sleep

Hey all ..

I have just finished exam , walked directly from the exam hall to the computer lab , checked all the fellow blogers blogs replied to some of them ...

am really tired .. I didnt sleep yesterday .. except for one hour nap .. the whole subject material need memorising not alot of understanding .. I hate memorising .. actually i dont hate memorising i CANT MEMORISE i love memorization if i just can memorise .. but i cant .. i think it is kind of a gift and yes i admitted am not gifted ..

I dont know why in the last minute of exam I start changing my answers, changing the right answers into wrong one ..I always do it .. I know while doing it what was the result of doing so from the prior exams but i keep doing it wierd is not it ??? I have this strange thought that I read this info some where .. and now I had just remmbered it .. kind of psycho i think ..

some subjects you dont need in your life .. you think you will just throw them after finishing them so you study for them then vomit in the exam and forget everything about the subject , this (unfortuantly ) is not applicable in medicine as you need every single information you study it ..but any way who can remmber everything .. ..

Omantell still beleive that the building that am living in have no phone cable connected to it .. even though there are three appartment have telephone line and they are admiting so !! so wierd ha !! idiots ..

thinking about buying Ipod as the exams finished .. something as gift to my self still dont know from where am going to buy it and not sure that do i really need it ..

am thinking seriously about going to kuwait next weekend .. attending wedding of one of my best freinds .. still not sure anbout attending it ,.. can always say that I have exams :P .,..I hate weddings ,I hate big parties ..I hate noices .. but still I produce alot of it .. weird ha !! ..

I think I will blog for an hour or so then I will go to star bucks !! Mocha any one ??

C ya

Marriage

hmmmmmmm you know this topic is the topic of choice for any two males talking together .. and not having anything to talk about .. it is like talking about weather for british ..

when to get married ??? is the one million dolar question .. give me the million and i dont want to marry hehe ,, any way , I mean when to marry .. during school ? after school >> beforee 30 .. after 30 .. is it about money ? i mean when ever you have the financial dependecy you can think about marriage or is it about the emotional or brain level. some said whenever you find the right perosn !! some said whenever you grown up ! !! i dont know really every one I discuss this topic with have his / her own idea ..,, amean yes i know there is no definitive answer to this question i am smart enoght to know this .. but what do you think even for married ppl ..



marriage at old age give you the experience .. you will be grown up you will choose the right person probably .. financialy wise you will be independent hopfully .. emotionally your brain will take over you heart more .. so you have a better judge ..

so seems marriage at older age is better right ??

well BUT .. marrige at older age have two disadvantages two main disadvantages ..

the first one .. childeren .. you gonna have child at the age 35.. .when he become 20 you will be 55 a retired old man/woman !!! and you cant be his/her freind cause you will be old style in his/her eye !!!!

second thing .. finding the right person at this age is more difficult .. since ( for men ) you have to marry younger females .. and i hate this i'd like to marry some one in my age .. same metality you know .. i dont want this 10 years diffrent .. that when i was in university she was learning her ABCD

yes that what i believe that niether are right somaybe better no to marry :P no i am kidding .. but still i dont have the magical answer when to marry ??

see you soon !! and pray for me i have exam on Sat ..

Am tired

walaa am sitting infront of the computer for one hour trying to produce something i wrote about sel ssatisfaction and how if you didnt achive it you will have depression then i deleted the whole topic and start wrting about my freind personality he is really a perfectionist .. and i didnt like the topic so i deleted it .. should i update .. i shout in my shout box kaza asking for update !! i asked her for any particular topic and she said she wana and entry about her !!! what shall i say kaza that you are nice person good person :) the list is really looong you need a book rather than a simple blog ..

i checked all the blogs i usually check ..and nothing new :(( why you are not updating guys !!!

any way the idea is i thought of many topics .. some f them is kind of intllectual .. some are really silly talking about food , girls .,, whatever :P ..

sometimes you think that is very nice topic but after you start wrtiting you just find it is very silly topic.. and nothing could be said about it ..

i tired and tried .. nothing come out .. i will try again thursday .. or saturday ....

Sowhat !!!!

Well hi again :)

changing appartment is not an easy thing believe me specially if you have an exam every week .. : (

especially if this country communication is ruled by Omantel which is @#$@!@ , I went to comex to have both phone line and ADSL account in the same time they said you cant since you need to have a line before ordering an ADSL ok i said am ordering right now .. they said No .. so i have to do it step by step .. I hate them ..

When i moved my washing machine didnt work since the pipe that connect it to the wall is not the same size so it need to be changed ..

i thought of bringing some one to fix it .. since am REALLY LAZY .. wheni asked for how much it will cost me the man said it will be around 12 rial ( refer back to my post Price Negotiation !!!! ) I thought why is that its just a simple jop .. i thought of taking just a connection to make the new pipe fit since it is larger than the older one .. and it cost me 200 bizza but you know what .. it worked.. and i've saved 11.800 Rial .. I feel good .. and the good thing it was 1 minute jop ..


eating is one major problem in my life since i live alone .. and sicne muscat doesnt have really nice collection of good resturants .. you know what .. when you eat from one restaurant for long time everything taste the same in this resturant whatever you ordered will have the same taste .. i dont know if you had this feeling before or not ..

is it becouse people eat at home usually in oman ?? amean thats why there isnt really nice resturants over here ..


last part in this un connected and un related post .. why when you are in lecture you are thinking about a very nice entry to write and when you rush from the class to the computer everything is just evaporate so you didnt gain anything from the lecture and you didnt post a good entry ,am I the only one having this problem ?

Tip of the day NEVER CHANGE YOUR APPARTMENT

see you soon ..
