Mixed emotions

Aargh today...

I woke at 8:42am this morning, in a really grumpy and annoyed mood (crappy sleep, crappy dream), quite early for a person on a summer holiday, had the tiniest breakfast in the history of "G-Chan's breakfasts" xD The "breakfast" consisted of 3 small pieces of Ma3mool and black current juice. Then I washed the dishes, brushed my teeth, washed my face, and started getting ready to go to uni. I was meeting upv(at 11:30am) with one of the Professor to discuss his topic that he'll be supervising...that I'm interested in in making my project for this year. He has been my lecturer before. I think he's good, helpful, etc, but he can get so boring (LOVE's going into detail...no kidding) sometimes. The meeting went really well, and I liked the topic more and more...so the probabilty of choosing this topic is very high!! I have one more lecturer to speak to before I can make a final decision.
The meeting finished at 12pm. I left quite happy with how the meeting went.

Here's a funny thing, I was running down the stairs (of G-Block...e7m e7m =P) when I heard someone running up the stairs. I cautioned myself, not wanting to crash into them. So I stuck to the wall and continued my way. It turned out to be one of those HARDCORE, computer wiz, and metal freak guys that I usually see around the labs. Yes, he wore a black t-shirt, dark dark jeans and had long, well condition frizzy hair. I swear to God, becuase he passed by so fast, his shampoo fragrance was caught in the air and entered my nostrils!! xD It smelt so good. His hair looked fresh, strong, shiny and just perfectly made xD I was THAT *holds out the thumb and index finger...small gap between them* close of asking him what shampoo he uses!! xD It totally reminded of this "Herbal Essences - Biker" ad. It's quite funny =P



I went into homebase (R-Block) afterwards, where the good ol' computers labs are. I tried logging into one of the computers but it turned that my account, in THAT lab, expired. The other labs were locked -____- So had to go all the way to the library to print what I needed to Print.

After printing, got into the car and drove to subway. Bought 3, 12-inch sandwiches =D 2 seafood (for Baba and Mama), 1 tuna (mine). I was starving by the time I got home (1pm) so I ate straight away. Getting subway for lunch when someone is going to leave the country has become a tradition in our family. Yes =( Baba is heading back to 3oman right now as I write this.

At 2pm we left for AUX airport (am I sick of going to AUX...or am I sick of going to AUX! =P). I felt absolutely normal. Like today was another day, another trip, drive, etc. This is the first time we drop Baba to the airport. Usually he takes a small shuttle...so the goodbyes are said at home. But this time (since it was the last time 7amdulellah...we'll be the one's travelling instead back and forth and then back to 3oman to live =D), we insisted to take him to the airport and promised him that we wouldn't cry. It was just Mama and myself. My bros both at work.

So got to the airport. Baba checked in. We sat at a cafe and had some drinks. After half an hour of talking and drinking it was time for Baba to get inside the "Passangers only" area so he can board his plane when the time came. Arrgh I hate this part.

Baba: "Yallah. We should say our goodbyes now".

Then it totally hit me that for sure he's going and I won't be seeing him tomorrow. He said goodbye to Mama first. She actually controlled herself from crying...and instead, turned tomato red from holding the tears back. Then it was my turn *cries* Being super emotional when it comes to these (only) sorts of things I can't help myself. I literally cried my eyes out (even though I knew that i'll see him in 4 months time)...but it's too hard. I know that this has been a routine for the past 4-5 years but wth!! It's one of those routines you just can't get used to.

I kissed both of his cheeks and hugged him so hard. He was advicing me as I did so.

Baba: "Look after yourself. Be good in your religon. Be there for your Mother. Be good with your brothers. Study hard. Get good grades. When you guys go back to Hamilton, don't drive like a crazy person *I giggle*. Be safe."

I couldn't say anything except for "Please take care of yourself! Allah Ma3ak.". My voice totally gave up on me. Then he was gone.
I held Mama's hand/arm to comfort her. But thankfully she was in control.

We left the airport at 5:05pm. Went to a Mall quite near the airport. Reached there at 5:40pm. Walked around a bit (bes bedoon nefs -____-). We got hungry so we ended up having some dinner in the food court (kebab, fries and drinks). Then started the drive home at around 6:50pm.

The drive back was fine. We talked a lot, just so we wouldn't have to think if we were silent (but we did have things to talk about, which is good and it was good).

We entered the house at 8:15pm (yes I reached Hamilton in almost an hour instead of 1 hour and a half =D....=P)...I started closing the curtains (it was getting dark) and Oh man!!! I could smell Baba's 3ood everywhere =(

Allah yewa9lak bel Salameh Inshallah!
Miss you. Love you!!! *cries*

*The time now is 10:45pm*

Randomness 2

-- Went to AUX today...Again. I think Thuresday has become AUX day. Family members who went: Mama, Baba and Myself. We were visiting my uncles there and just going around AUX, since it's a HUGE city (nothing compared to boring ol' Hami -___-).

-- Got my handy dandy snacks for the trip...even though I didn't touch any of it =(
Roasted-salted peanuts, dried mango, and Ma3mool *heart*

-- Also my handy dandy MP3 player :D Listened to Stainds Album like 4 times...FULL. Through out the whole driving. 3 hours in total.

Oooooh the misery!!! Look at my fingerprints on the screen of the MP3 player!! *cries*
Sorry about the bad quality of this pic.

-- So on the way...you see lots and lots of cows (cos it's just the country, farms, green land, etc). No kidding ok! So I was looking out my window, listening to good Ol' Staind and just thinking about a Kajilion things *cries* then something...disturbingly ew caught my eye. A cow...OK! Had a little "private" area, far away from the rest of the cows that were sun bathing xD...the area was right next to the fence which was right next to the high way. I dont' know if I should even say this...but the cow was peeing (number 1) xD *excuse e moi* I just have 2 words to explain...this...phenomenon?! xD

1- DAAAAAAAAAAAYMN!!!!
2- Fountain!!

xD xD

Not so "private" eh? Every single human being passing by could see that cow xD
G-chan's reaction: *snort* what the hell?! hehehe.

-- So we got to AUX, went to the center (where the shops/malls/restaurants, you name it, are...HUGE PLACE) and got taken to this Jordanian restaurant (my uncle took us). Just WOW!! Their food was pretty amazing mashallah. I ordered a Chicken Shawarma Wrap Combo (you got fries, a drink and pickles arabic style *heart*). Now THAT is what I call a Shawarma!! It's only problem is it was a bit dry (not juicy). My uncle told me this is Jordanian style Shawarma.
N.B. I don't remember what Jordanian shawarma tastes like :'(
I was FUUUUUUULL!!! Was going to explode...seriously. Also when I get full I get all giggly =S
N.B. I still don't know why that happens xD

-- A pigeon flew all the way in to the restaurant (it was a food court and the entrance is quite far...smart bird) . It landed on the empty table next to us. The plates were there and some left over food, so it picked away at the plates.

Mind the bad quality *angel*

-- AUX has a great harbor. It's a lovely walk there.


I wanted to jump in this water *heart*


=O It's that Pigeon again!!! =P

-- On the way back, Baba drove, but he got tired (miskeen) so I took the wheel (6) I loved the drive back because there was NO traffic at all *cries* It was lovely. Though I think I freaked my parents out cos I was driving a bit fast 120-140k's. The shocking thing was they never said anything O.o *wonders what was that all about*. They both fell asleep later on xD *heart* I guess they felt that I had control *victory dance* and after I slowed down to 110k's =D

There are people who don't know what they want from something/someone, so they dont know what to do about it, and they end up doing something worthless/useless.
There are people who know what they want, yet they don't know how to get it or deal with it.
There are people who know what they want and know what to do to get it.

This has been proven to me recently.

------------------------

Well I'm beat...so I shall go rest a bit. Sorry about the cow thing xD Just be happy I wasn't able to get a pic. LOOOL!! Jokes. Even if I did I wouldn't post it on here xD

G'night
