No way, José!

:: I can officially and finally say I'm done with my Bachelors. My marks for my four papers came out last Friday, and hamdulAllah (Thanks to God) I have passed with good grades and managed to do well in a paper that I was worried about. I carry a Bachelors Degree in Computing and Mathematical Sciences (BCMs) now. How cool is that?! Looking back at the days, I remember when people came to ask me what I'm studying and I'd say the full name of my degree. It was a mouthful lol but yay, I'm done!

:: I've started work on my clients third website and I'm enjoying it since I've missed designing and coding websites. Here's a sneak peak.

It's still under construction. First thing I need to do is re-size those icons on the top-right corner; they're too big. Check out that name at the bottom =P

:: I hate goodbyes.

:: G is officially a Full License holder baby-eh YEAH! I had my 1 hour long test yesterday, and I have to say it was nerve wrecking and quite hard. To be honest, I was beyond shocked that I passed because I almost killed us. When that huge mistake occurred, I gave up all hope. I was told to take us (instructor and I) back to the station and that's when I was telling my self while driving all the way back that I failed. "Oh my gorsh! I have to take the tests in Oman. How the heck will I ever pass?!" and all those negatives thoughts just rushed through. What they usually do is they tell you if you passed/failed when you've parked the car at the station. So I parked the car, in a retarded way, and waited for the bad news.

Instructor: Well...*pause*....you passed, BUT! ...
G: I PASSED?! *surprise in my voice*
Instructor:...you need to be careful with your speed (yeah I was speeding) and intersections. Other than that, you did well.

I went into a fit of thank you's, then the instructor went for smoke. I guess I stressed him out lol

:: the countdown to going back to Oman (for good) has started since Monday. Twenty Seven days to go. Day by day I get more excited yet impatient because I just want to get there. Stress is in the air since we're trying to sort out everything quickly so we can be on the safe side. Though at the same time, we're trying to enjoy as much of the days we've got left here in NZ; especially the driving in my case.

Black Coats

This was taken in Rotorua last Saturday.

:: besides all this busy-ness with work, traveling within NZ and packing, I manage to get some of the things I consider fun for me. I've said this before I guess but my freakish-ness for movies has returned so I try to get down a movie a day.

The new set:

• The Women (drama)
  
• The Love Guru (comedy)
  
• The Man Who Cried (drama)
  
• The Haunted Mansion (family)
• Gone Baby Gone (drama)

Surprising isn't it? Not a single thriller. I guess I've been abusing them lately or maybe not many have caught my attention at the video store, hence the "light" choices. I think I will write movie reviews, for every movie I watch, from now on so that this place stays alive. One is on "hold" at the moment.

Also, I've been playing one of the scariest games out there. Yes! It is. Fatal Frame III The Tormented (aka Project Zero 3) is the game. I'm more than half-way through, so I'm hoping that I finish it before I leave. I didn't go through any dramatic screaming fits like how you'd find on youchube (example below). I'm usually silent except for the few "Oh my God" (s) and "eeeeeeh" that escape me without knowing. There were a few days (maybe a week) where I had hardcore paranoia...at night. Yeah! The game had it's effects especially on my sleeping because I kept thinking that a dark figure is going to pass by my door while I'm in bed, so I had to keep myself awake, checking the door every 5 seconds just in case. Yes! I sound like a baby and I know it's just a game, but I have to say it is one of the scariest games I've ever played. I'm over it now, I sleep fine lol and I WILL FINISH IT! I have to. I came all this way and went through all that to give up in the end? No way, José!

Warning: excess swearing (they're a bunch of guys, so go figure).
I played this part and it was horrible.

:: Summer; what I don't like about summer is Sushi. Yes! Shocking as it may sound coming from yours truly, but Sushi just looses it during summer.

:: I'm addicted to m&m's O.O

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

Visiting a friend!

Mom, my close friends and their mother, and I went to Auckland to visit the daughter of my friends (that were with us, who is also a close friend of mine). So the drive to my friends house took almost 2 hours. We left Hamilton at around 9:10am with us following. I was driving and it was great great fun. I enjoyed every bit of it, but I swore here and there at some idiotic people =P we had 2 of my friends in our car, so imagine all the talking *rolls eyes* =D Good fun.

So we arrived at my friends house...took ages discussing where to park the car. Then we settled on 2-3min away parking when there was free parking opposite of my friends house but we didn't see it!! -____-
Went in...hugs and kisses with everyone. 2 of my friends in-laws were there so in total we were 9 or 10 girls. We were crazy. lol! Just talking, drinking gorgeous green tea, eating yummy cakes and savories *heart* After and hour or 2 we went to a park (which I forgot the name of...but it was named after a certain tree) that had a beautiful beautiful beach. I went crazy with taking photos of nature and of all of us. So much greenery and beauty. Thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day with white clouds and a lovely breeze!!!

So here's what I took from the parking place:The trees with red/maroon-ish flowers on them are the trees that the park was named after. I did ask for the name, but it was such a hard name I couldn't remember it...maybe it's was something like "why-co-fi"...=S

After a bit we walked over to a little space that was on top of the mountain that looked upon the beach:

Then we walked to the beach:

^ Freaky freaky stairs!! O.o

So this is what it looks like from an insects point of view =P

Yes! He was THAT close to us. Cheeky cheeky bird =P

After a bit of sitting in the shade, enjoying the lovely breeze and weather...we got tired and went back to the house. THIS time we parked in the close parking =P

We did some more talking then lunch was served *YAY*

It was absolutely loooovely!! *heart*
We ate so much. I was so full to the point where I started giggling!! I don't know why that happens to me but it does. lol xD. So after the lunch and everything was put away and cleaned, we sat down and did some more talking. Drank green tea again; I think it's some kind of tradition or a daily base thing *shrugs*. I also heard that it's very healthy and helpful with digestion. After the food I just wanted to sleep. I was full and the weather was nice and warm. Perfect atmosphere for a nap. But I don't nap =P

After a couple of hours of talking, eating desert and fruits (I tell you we just ate all day!!! xD) we went out to visit people. It was good fun and guess what they served us?!?! GREEN TEA and desert! lol!! I probably drank 5-7 cups of green tea yesterday. LOL! It's not because it was good but they kept on pouring for you and it would be rude to decline. I couldn't put any more food in my mouth...but it looked good =(

By 8pm we said our goodbyes and made our way back to Hamilton! I had to drive (I wanted to)...I mean the sun was setting and it was gonna be night time. I would never forgive myself for such an opportunity. I've never driven on a high way at night time. So it was nice. Enjoyed the driving a lot!! Though I did tell myself I will not drive for one week with all the driving I did yesterday.lol!

So there you go. Long post with a lot of pics...as usual =D
