ahh Egyptian Traffic!

The beauty of Egyptian Traffic is that you can easily say
"Today i got hit by a car"

Well that's my story. Hailing a cab and ther goes this perfect gentleman (note the sarcasm) and hits me in the side. It was some feeling having his mirror dive into my ribs.

So far i am fine - we'll see in the morning how bad the damage is - but no broken parts - this ship is still sailing!
The funny thing is that he wanted me to fix his car

I am contemplating faking a disability in my right arm and suing!

Woha! slow down

After a few slow relaxing couple of weeks where the highlight of my day is the dinner with Dody and Ziad and Carlos the gear shifts fast.
Next week, Tom arrives, Jen arrives, I go to visit this howebagger in london, attend my UK Ceeder/roomie/good friend's wedding (no, not her, the other one) and i have a big deadline.

It's 12:56 and i have finished my work for the day.

Time for shower?

the monthly "statement"

After 4 years of studying business, you'd think i would understand a bank statement!

Well i don't! every time i open the HSBC envelope - i am reminded about how it feels to read a chinese newspaper!

Mother's Day :)

God could not be everywhere and therefore He made mothers

The best thing after a stressful day of partnership negotiations, and funny rumors all the way from the AI office, is a night at the opera listening to some good looking austrian men, with really shiny shoes playing symphonies and arias by W. A. Mozart.

The added bonus of teasing the only american in the opera house about what W. A. stands for, was also nice!

JINXED!

Okay i finallyhave to admit that i am jinxed when it comes to computers.
When my first laptop got smashed in a car accident and left without a screen, i thought it was bad luck - it turned out to be a series of endless incidents!
So i worked with an external monitor, untill one day i found a screen i could afford.
Then the computer started to get busted, it wouldn't open, and after too many attempts i couldnt fix it.
So i took the hard drive out, and gave up.
Then i got my sister's old laptop, and she bought a new one, less than a month since i have had it and the windows crash! so i go to have it formatted, and the hard drive is busted, and needs replacement. So i give the guy my hard drive from the old computer, and that doesn't work coz one of those tiny metal pointy thingies is broken, and apparently that's important.
So i gotta buy a new harddrive! Of course my financial status does not allow that.

Then nisrin, FINALLY , decides to pick up her AIESEC US laptop from Toshiba, and gives me AIESEC Egypt's laptop. And as soon as she gives it to me the screen starts going banana and disconnects every 5 minutes.

Is it me?! or do computers not like me?!

I know purvi, you will hate me for this, but I thought Mr. and Mrs. Smith was cute!
How at the end they stayed together, and started sharing everything - it was kinda endearing!

I am reading the book now - giving it a second chance.

Been busy - too many funerals man!And funerals mean seeing that side of the family that enjoys pestering one another, it's funny until they turn against you!

And that's when i decided to stop reading

So the book i got seemed good, pulizer prize winner, not so expensive and had an intriguing opening line.

When the grandmother of the heroine/hero (it could be either, she/he/it is confused) marries her brother, that's when i decided to stop reading.

Now homosexuality and other gender issues, i have learned to tolerate - but i draw the line at incest!!

So now i am shopping for a new book! A book that doesn't challenge my worldview THAT much!

I am having the worst day!

So far i have had my finger on one hand jammed between two doors, I have had my other finger stung by boiling water, i have been told that my Laptop's hard drive will not work again.

And it is only 10:22

I guess my resolution to be positive every day is failing miserably.

Can't wait for this day to end
