Wise or insane?

Being alone surrounded by four walls for a long period of time can be impulsive.

I sometimes speak to myself.

I sometimes feel I need to fall deeply in love.

I sometimes get mystic.

I sometime bring out my camera and shoot silly things (a bottle of water, couple of coins).

I sometimes eat even if I don’t have an appetite.

I sometimes listen to one song or instrumental over and over without a purpose.

I sometimes walk around the room thinking I am a sad bastard.

I wanna open my course notes and revise but still loads of course work to accomplish and always thinks it is early, although it is not.

SO AM I WISE OR INSANE? I GUESS BOTH.

There is a drinks reception this wednesday where all the MSc students are invited to the beautiful Roman Baths for having a group photograph for all this year’s MSc in Management students and some drinks (not for me!). However some issus impede me from going. I have to dress smart, which I dislike and these days I feel like not so enthusiastically being around many people. And the final reason is because it contradicts with the UEFA champions league semi-final against Liverpool-Chelsea. So I am gonna pass this time, although I am sure I am gonna regret it in the future. But what the heck, my life has been a bunch of regrets and it worked out fine.

Finally, which have been bugging me for a while now. Did you ever, during a teamwork task or assignment, happen to be with lazy people who regularly delay his/her task and profusely apologizes for these delays in a sweet way you can do nothing about it? Well, I am stuck with one of those kind of humanbeings. May Allah help me! Hope he/she does not read this post or I’m totally dead!

New car parking spaces!

 

Here is a a new concept of car parking. If you are so desperate to stop your car in a location closest to the place you want to go to, then all you have to is imitate the action of those dudes, thinking it is the best place to park to shop in a near supermarket!

No I’m just kidding (Coz I don’t want you guys to do this and then blame tito for advising you to do that when police catches you!). The thing is the driver was driver driving so fast whilst approaching the roundabout, and he didn’t pressed on the brake paddle early so BOOOOOM into the roundabout.

Talking about roundabout, I heard once that Japan does not have any roundabouts at all. My friend told me once that they even celebrated once the last roundabout was removed from the streets of Japan, any confirmations on that?

Oh and finally, I’ve added some blur on the roundabout number so that I let you guess which roundabou no. it is.

UPDATE: you can find the answer on my flickr page

Holiday .. Game over!

 

Hello dear friends,

Well, I guess from the title u'd know that this is the end of my holiday here. It was enjoyable for me in many aspects. It was a chance for me to meet my family again and spend quality time with my family. It was a good chance to reunion with some old friends that I haven't been in touch for a very very long time.

This holiday was an eye opener for me in many ways. Firstly,it was a chance for me to measure the changes that occured to my personality and lifestyle and to my surprise they were plenty! For instance, I've been more outgoing ,, less being loner ,, taken more responsibility ,, and a lot of things ,, but i don't wanna make the list so damn long.

I also had this idea to live away after graduation for few years (or maybe forever) in UK and I've been saving money for a long time to do that. However, when I came back here all these "living-abroad" plans simply blew away. I realised that I won't be able to start a real life (not a student one!) in any other place away from Bahrain, hence I am sure I will return as soon as I finish my studies. My real life is here! not in UK!

I have lots and lots of things to say, but it'll be a very long post and too boring to read. Maybe I'll post some more tomorrow.

The last thing is that I need  your suggestions. I want to buy some presents for my friends back there and I am still not sure what to get them. I need at least 10-12 presents. So they ought be small so there could be enough space for my items I need these presents to be nice and represent Bahrain. I went to Ramez and lifestyle yesterday hoping that I might find something with these specifications, but I didn't manage to find anything. I'll be grateful if you suggest me some ideas coz I'm kind of desperate on places to look and which presents to buy and time is passing by quickly.

Again I am very happy and pleased that I've returned back during the holiday to Bahrain, as this holiday helped me to strengthen my friendship with many of you dear bloggers and made me feel being appreciated for who I am and what I write in my blog. It is now time to pray and get ready for the final F1 race =)

Thank you very much in advance for your suggestions

Best wishes,

Tito

Photo tour: Town of Bath

Yesterday (Saturday) I've worked hard to free up myself today, to have a walking tour with my friend around the town.To our luck the weather was awsome and nice during the day for taking some photos to show it to my family when I return. I have been intrested in photography for a long time, but only this year I've decided to take it to the next level and be more professional . My friend is totally knowledgable about all the photography stuff and with his help I've managed today to take these photos.

I've also created my Pro Flickr account to arrange all the photos I've got and in order to share these with other people in the future. Day after another this flickr account will have more photos uploaded and categorised.So you might to have a look there. If you see any private photos that were not hidden please inform me so that I can make them private.

Here are some of the photos I took that I've slightly edited using photoshop to make them more wonderful.

This is one of the ponds in Bath that I've visited for the first time

 

The same pond from a different angle

 

A crowded playground (How nice to see the British socialising!!)

 

A 167 years old silo dedicated to queen Victoria

 

Some nice flowers

 

River Avon

 

A garden in the centre of the town but unfotunately it was closed so we couldn't enter.

 

Few weeks later and these trees will bloom

 

2000 years old statue

 

The main cathedral (I guess here is where the graduation ceremonies are held every 6 months)

 

And that's it for today. I hope you like the photographs.

Take care everyone.

 

Two weeks left! W8 4 me

Hi everyone,

How's everyone doing? and how's the weekend going on? I hope it's going all right with all of you. Mine haven't offically started yet but I had a great day (thanks Al-7urrah for wishing me a gr8 day!). We are approaching the mid of March and the weather in the town of Bath is totally awsome. Every year at this period, we have the last bit of snow and freezing conditions. (See photo below).

This photo was taken on (12-3-04) – The main running track at the University of Birmingham UK

(See my foot steps LOL )

However, this year, the situation is kind of different. It is like summer already, we had 3 continuous days of clear skies and shining sun. It is looking like June with this weather.

The other awsome thing is that the sun stays in the sky for much longer (from 6.30am till around 6.10pm) which is extremely delightful. In the middle of the winter (end of Dec.) the sun rises around 8.15am and the place becomes total dark as soon as 3.30pm (around 7 hours only of day!).

The shine of the sun and the length of day makes my soul feels enjoyed and amused. It makes everything around me looks joyful and enlightened. I just admire the summer even if it becomes hot and there are no fans or A.Cs around to keep the sweat and heat away.

What makes me also more happier is that after 2 weeks from now, exactly at this moment I will just be entering the home that I've been away for around 7 months. I never felt homesick that much before. It is the first time ever since 5 years that I come back to Bahrain on holiday at this time of the year. The reason why maybe that I am feeling homesick this much is maybe because there are no other known Bahrainis in this place except for me and I have been used to be with Bahrainis all the time during the previous 4 years, but this year is exceptional.

 

 

 I really miss Bahrain a lot and my family and friends more than anytime before and I hope they share the same. I feel this year here has had more impact than all the 4 years combined together (but I won't tell these now, I will save my experiences and changes till I graduate Bi Ethn Allah!!).

M2jooreen bel Arba3een.
