License Retrieved!!

Guess who finally got her license!


Finallyyy!
I was almost dying a slow death back there.
Even though I was pretty much ready my nerves got the better of me and I ended up shaking. I never thought I was the type to fret over exams because I hardly ever do when it comes to paperwork. But it seems like this time panic just rushed out of me. If I haven't been used to driving already due to the countless practices I had, I would've had a problem. But luckily for the first time luck was on my side. I made no mistakes this time and I could tell the policeman was pleased with my performance. I'm officially a light vehicle driver just like all of you who have the license and are reading this now. :D

New Year's Eve

So another year has come and gone... and here I sit a year later, ever since I accumulated an online addiction. This was the year I learnt most out of, although there were many things I would've wished to turn differently, I do not regret having them as I do now. Who knows what the future holds?... and maybe what seems so disappointing now may be my way to success later.
I'm ready for a new year, with every intention to further develop myself as a person.

I will set no particular resolutions for this year except the fact that I want to complete writing my book and bring together a program to help me create the graphics and music I plan to create. It is not my profession, but merely a dream I plan to make come true. This may take more than a year to accomplish... however, this is the year I plan to start it and hopefully prevail.

So... things never take a strong hold as much as I would've expected them to. That is mainly because the ones involved do not possess the required strength to keep things going....
It seems every beautiful rose dries out one day. But the sun always remains shining...

So Happy New Year everyone. And hope this year'll be as good or even better than the previous one for you. I know it will for me... because with every dead rose sprints a new one. :)

(Sawadi) Another Go on The Jetski

So I've grown accustomed to that water thing... in the past it's always been my dream and now twice my dear friend and her sisters made it come true. Was the day SteLLa got that huge Toblerone Chocolate as you can see on her blog. :p Sometimes I get the feeling she's addicted to buying them and stopping herself from eating them, and I'm addicted to eating them from her.

Well aside from that, I believe jetskis are the best thing about Sawadi... there was also the Banana Ride but I wasn't so sure what it was all about only that you got a bigger chance of toppling over ......which might not be a pleasant thing.

However, the voyage was really enjoyable and is always something to look forward to doing again and again.

My First Attempt In Making Pizza!!

It was just one day that the house was empty and I felt bored... that I decided to try my cooking skills.... even after watching my stepmum cook many times and learning a lot from her (she's a fab cook! :p )... I guess I still had my own style... which I was praised for, for my first attempt :p
This was quite a tiring job... but the outcome was much better than I imagined... I left the kitchen proud :p :p ! Lol...
Ofcourse I followed a beginner's book...
I guess the most difficult was making the dough... for the rest it was pretty easy and enjoyable...
well for whoever knows how to do the dough... the topings I put was just random... added whatever I felt would make it good... finally this is what came out of the oven...

I tried some and gave the rest to the others who were quite happy to have it...

hmmmm

I guess I'll visit the kitchen more often :p

So that's it?... It's over?

Yes... Today was the last normal day of school... the last day I'll be carrying my bag full of books into that building again... the last time I'll be having lessons with my friends, the last time I'll be coming in the morning and leaving at 2 pm. The last time I wear this uniform!!!...
The last time I have to abide by certain school rules! ... it's the last breath of youth I have left...
now... I just feel different... and the difference I feel does not provide me with a peaceful state of mind...

Usually in school I knew the way I was to follow... simply cuz my job was to pass classes to reach where I am now!... and now that I've reached this stage... the road suddenly splits into several pathways I find hard to choose from.
I confess I am TERRIBLE in knowing my way... :(... I confess even more, I'm terrible in considering what others have to say about my way. So here I am... and for once, I don't want opinions or advices or lectures... I want information... I want to know where I stand now and what I'm supposed to do exactly... I want this laziness in me to go away and push me to figure out what I need to know to make my decisions and suit myself... I feel like a little chick trying to break off that egg-shell... the chances of it breaking depends on how much force the chick exerts on it... the force here would be reperesented by marks... the more marks I collect the greater the force there would be for me to break that shell... but breaking that shell would also mean a lot more... it would mean more challenging battles to fight regarding more difficult issues... that's when I remember some people saying... "I wish that having to study was the only problem I had"... making known that studying was supposed to be the least of problems... now I understand what they mean... and though I dread the future and the possibility of its outcome... I can just hope for the best and dwell on past memories I can cherish :)...

may all those who pass through the same stage next year find their way with less struggles and more achievements :)... cheers to everyone... and happy end of school day!!...

This Month

I've a lot to update somehow... will start gradually then...

Sawadi

last week or earlier Stella, me, her sisters and some friends went to Sawadi... it was my first time going there to be honest... but as we entered we saw quite an interesting sight.. namely many people walking around half-naked before the reception area :os :os ... I might've understood if they came from the pool... but this was more like old ladies wearing high-heels with only a T-shirt on and no pants!!... they left the hotel with their luggage and Stella looked dumbstruck wondering if they were actually going out like that...
Next we waited longer than necessary because they didn't want to give us a room we booked previously for 4 people because we were around 6... it was ridiculous since we told the lady we weren't going to sleep there... we just needed the room to leave our things and chill, but the woman rejected giving us quite an impolite scowl... *I thought why the hell was she there if she didn't like her job?*
anyways... after paying a few riyals extra considering the two other girls as guests... though if it was for me I wouldn't have paid :rolleyes:... we took the room and sat a moment trying to plan what we were going to do first... obvious isn't it? Straight to the Jetskis :p (again my first time).... we took two jetskis and the drivers had to sign... so it was Stella, her sis, her sis's friend and I who signed... Stella didn't know I did though, she claimed that she wouldn't trust riding with me because I speed too much... well here we'll see the scardy-cat actually turning wild a few hours later...
So I rode behind Stella who (without doubt) started off as slowly as possible... while her older sis sped up like there was no tomorrow ... one would expect my expression to be like >> :/ ... (I had the urge to take over somehow... but I left her to it and tried to encourage her to go faster...
yet behold, that was only the first try... I rode once with Stella and next with her sis... (and yes, there was a big difference :p...lol... at first)... next after going to the restaurant to eat... we came back again... back with new spirits... -perhaps full tummies make a difference- because there's when I saw Stella's new side!!... When I took control of one Jetski and she took control of the other...
The guy asked whether I knew how to ride and I said no, it's my first time... then he offered to ride with me and I said hell no!!... I'd prefer to go alone... he certainly didn't know me... I had difficulties starting that machine for a while until I realized I had to press slowly on the gas... and BAM!!... the motor worked and this time there was no mercy... lol... I experimented a little bit and changed speeds when I saw Stella speeding next to me asking for a race... a race... with Stella?!!... (you should've seen the grin on my face... thinking that even the slowest turtle could beat her...)... therefore I actually didn't speed as I would've... and there I learnt one should never underestimate!!... her jetski sped up like crazy!! I spent time wondering about what I just saw before I realized I was losing... and yes... I lost the first round...



The second round came soon... and having studied my opponent previously I managed to win this time :p... so that made us quits and engraved a big note on my head... I started wondering about Stella... and thought... perhaps I should be careful...:p..lol
Well next we went to the restaurant again... NO... not to eat... we don't have THAT much of digestion power... we went to play snooker before they closed... with one of Stella's sis's friends...
once more I lose in the first round and win in the next... it was like a pattern...

a few minutes later we just called it a day and went back home... yet... it is a day to remember :D... and it still remains a record in my mind... the first day I saw Stella show her wild side :p... bless you all :)...

Bandar Rowtha

So it is that I haven't updated this blog for a while... my apologies to all... my computer broke down and I had to go use a different one every time I wanted to go online... nevertheless, back to business..

It was only yesterday that my class and I went on a yacht trip... that was a whole new experience to most of us... an experience I personally would love to try again which others rather not... that is because almost half of the class threw up on our way to sea... (sea sick is it?) ... I do admit the ride was quite bumpy... but to me that was the fun of it all :p... you see the yacht going unsteady and everyone trying to hold on tight to avoid falling over...
One of them however described me as a show-off just cuz I felt like standing and didn't throw up :p... now I wondered whether I should have play pretended to be sick just to please them :rolleyes: ...
although aside from that... since we were actually going to see dolphins, none showed up... or perhaps we were all too busy keeping steady to realize... it was sunny but there was a cold wind always blowing... so good weather all in all... and I did manage to take some pics that I could share here down below:


This was a different yacht... ours was a bit smaller (by the name of "Lubna")... however with the same kind of architecture as this one :D... (I just remembered I should've taken a pic of the yacht itself... argh... *smack* )


A rock that fascinated me... erosion has its effects :D... that shape's something...


Aboard the ship... meditating

That's just three out of a collection... but you get the picture anyway... after all it was fun and I did enjoy it all the way... I consider it the best trip we ever had :D... best and last I'm afraid... but all worth it :)

Happy New Year

I was playing around with photoshop... until I spoiled the whole design I made for new year :os... nevertheless I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year...

This year has been the most interesting for me... it is the year I first got back to drawing and writing poems... the year I performed my final play and the year I first joined an english forum. Also the year I received the first copy of my book... and what else?... The year I met a number of interesting and intelligent people I am more than happy to have come across...

it may've also been a pain in the a**... but my gain outweighs my loss and I would not have had it otherwise... so happy new year to everyone and inshalla next year'll be a better one...

Best wishes,
Tee

2 Lessons Learnt

Today was expected to be a hard-working day since the weekend would be over... but later I figured that I would be home alone for a further day and had the rest of it all ahead of me... Somehow unexpectedly SuGaR calls. I ask her to come over to my house. We had a great day which was somewhat educational to me since dear SuGaR (ma qasarat) tought me how to give a massage first... which I started doing... only she kept telling me I had to press harder since I was being too soft.... I'm truly a beginner I guess.... I tried so hard and the girl just wouldn't feeeel!!! I could swear I was about to .... ahh... No, I'm not weak... just not used to it! ... however, at least I learnt where the pressure points were... Later we went down to the kitchen and I was helping under her instructions to make a certain dessert... most of the ingredients were in the box... and later when we were done we tried it... and somehow the bread it came with tasted something like petrol!!! And I really mean petrol.... in a car!! ... but for the rest I guess it was edible... So yes, we spent some time doing that and now I guess I realized there are a lot of things I still need to learn :os :os even though these may not exactly be the most important things... learning them is essential.. honestly, and I've said this to SuGaR many times.... my last conclusion was.... "If I were a guy, I'd marry you!" :p :p
