My car accident with an Outlaw!

 

On Tuesday 25/9/2007 at around 8:10AM ..

 

I usually don’t like taking my car to work because I work in Ruthtain aaakher eldinya! ..so I decided to take our driver’s car the great gold COROLLA and pick up my friend who lives in Salwa. I thought it would be fun for 2 big guys shadeen 7ailhom in a Corolla driving all the way to Ruthtain ..

I passed Salwa Bridge the one at Alyarmook Club in Mishref. I took left all the way to the traffic light beneath the bridge which takes me to Almasjid Alaqsa Street on the right.

About 150 meters from that traffic light ..I was adjusting the rear view mirror and – thank God – I had just buckled up ..I saw that 1990s navy BMW 500 series suddenly stopped infront of me! ..I could’ve avoided it if I was in MY car .. but with the Corolla laa brake wala maneuvering nefa3.. you know those moments ..like 2 seconds of silence …the moment you hit the brake and realize it’s not stopping and knowing you are “emfayshaaaaaaa” for sure!! ..those 2 seconds where every curse word comes to your head! ..then .. 6RBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKH!!

 

 

The first thing I said was .. “This seatbelt thingy is kinda cool!!”

 

 

The I said “el7emdellah ..o la 7awl wala qowa ellah beAllah” .. o madri laish I remained in the car for what seemed to be a long time .. I got out ..and there was the navy BMW with a family inside ..a met7ajba mother with 2 little crying kids and a khadama in the back. And another car in the front a new CLK and a real slim and untouchable girl comes out .. met7ajba o samra o kinda cute with braces and looking at the kids. I went direct to them and asked the mother if everything is ok. She said “yeah el7emdellah bs int Allah yhadeek misri3” .. I said “elmohim elkel bkhair” .. the Corolla was heavily damaged ..the hood was kneeling like it was praying to God ..and smoke coming out of it!  ..and of course the navy BMW was also damaged ..the rear bumper exchanged places with the trunk! .. I then take a look around ..and notice this girl with her CLK and wonder what the hell she was doing standing here with us .. I asked her “khair?” .. and this princess with braces comes with a real soft voice and says to me .. “o ana?” .. “shfeech?” .. “my car” .. “shfeeha your car?” .. “come see come see” .. I went to see ..and I still couldn’t see anything .. then she pointed her finger to a real small scratch .. I was like “aha!” … she said can I have your number so my father can talk to you?” ..I said ok .. and the mother also said she had to go because her kids were late for school.. and also took my number.

And there I was left alone with a damaged Corolla. Before calling anybody I thought I should give it a try and run it. Well it worked and I drove home. It was a great chance to skip work ..so I played some PS2 ..and after 1 hour a Man called me, he said he was the brother of the mother with kids, the navy BMW. I said yeah hi how can I help you? .. He had a strange accent for some reason. The lady was Kuwaitiah, but this brother Man sounded like 3arabi trying to speak Kuwaiti! So anyway ..I felt he was trying to avoid going to the police and report the accident and send it to court. He preferred to solve it in a friendly way. I said well the car is under my father’s name so let me see what he wants to do then I’ll call you back.

I called him back in 2 hours and told him my father suggests we go to the Police and report the accident .. either way we have to go because the new rule now is that no garage can fix any car without a permission letter from the police. So I told him that .. o 3ainik matshoof ella elnoor. I called him again after 1 hr to tell him we will go to the police after fo6oor .. but he didn’t reply! … I didn’t want to call again because he is the one that needs me .. but to me it’s better if he doesn’t call …mabi abtelesh fe their car ba3ad! .. After fo6oor …still no call …the next day ..all no calls! .. shisalfa! … I figured maybe he is an outlaw or 3alaih qathiya or whatever. Because why would anyone ignore an accident that ruined a BMW that could cost him much! … So now wedi aballigh 3annah :P …na7asah!

And of course the braces girl never heard from her father ..I imagined her father asked about our situation ..and when she told him how bad it was ..he might have said “and you only have a scratch!! chub chub!”

Yawmiyat G.Q.

Usually every Sunday I go to Diwaniat my friends since highschool and yesterday was my first visit to them since Ramadan started. It was nice seeing the friends after a while. And it’s also nice to see them gathering again ..because in the last 6 months the comers where decreasing. Some busy with their work “shiftaat” ..some with their wives ..some with there thoroof .. whatever. But I personally like going ..even though we never play cards or any other game. We just sit and talk and watch TV and en7ish fe hatha o thak. Maybe this is healthier who knows! ..I’m just happy this time almost all of them came.. because Winter is coming and we usually rent mokhayam every year for a weekend in Jan. or Feb. I hope we do that this year.

While I was playing “Winning Eleven” in my PS2 in a before fo6oor time, my home phone rang. I answered surpriced ..

Me: Hello!

Soft Voice: Hello ..is the Madam or a sister or a mother or an aunt or a girl cousin around?

Me: No!

Soft Voice: Ok sorry 3al ez3aj.

.. 6oo6 6oo6 6oo6 ..

While I was looking in my USA boxes ..I found 1997s cassettes “maqaaa6i3” that I had made!! …now that’s all I’ve been listening to lately!!

My home phone .. ring ring ..ding ding ..6aakh 6eekh ..

Me: Alo!

KEMS: Hi is GQ there?

Me: Speaking ..!

KEMS: Hello okhooy GQ we are calling from KEMS to let you know that your account with us is now active and you can connect to your new 1M DSL.

Me: HIYA ..thanks a lot!

Me go to my office room and check .. hmm .. nothing!

.. Calling the wireless company that installed my wireless network ..

Me: “7awalli ..we have a problem.”

Technician: Go to your computer click that click this enter this click save go there do that close this…etc.

Me check again .. nothing!

1 hour on the phone with this guy in 3 calls. Nothing.

.. Calling KEMS ..

Me: What the $%^@*& is wrong with my DSL?? You just called me for god’s sakes!!

KEMS: Go to your computer click that click this enter this click save go there do that close this…etc.

Me check again .. nothing!!!

KEMS: The DSL line is O.K. from our side. You should check your wireless!

2 hours with KEMS in 5 calls .. Nothing.

.. Calling back the wireless company ..

Me: ALOOO! .. 7awalli .. YOU have a problem!

Technician: Ok bring your router to our store tomorrow and we will update the software.

Sunday – 16 Sep. 2007 – 11:00 AM ..

I overslept and skipped work… I figured maybe I should finish some of the stuff I have behind. So I put on my quick dishdasha with some gel and my Ray Ban and took off ..

First I went to “Ashkanani” mal elkhadam and registered khadama .. After that I went to 7awalli to the wireless company to update the router .. then went to a stickers store to get me a couple of Juventus logo. Then went to my father’s office to give him the khadama papers to send them with the mandoob next morning..

Went back home ..tried the updated router … nothing .. it was already passed 2:00 PM which means they just closed. After a few new calls with KEMS still nothing. At 4:00 PM Juventus V. Udinese match started and for some #$%@&# reason Aljazeera didn’t work ..I got a black screen and waited for half an hour with so much anger and irritation. I then decided to go to my brother’s room and see it with him ..then fo6oor o 6alla3t 7arreti feeeh … at 8:40 PM I called the wireless company to tell them that they are stupid and the router is still not working and I need a techinician to come tonight ..

The Technicial arrived ismAllah 3alaih at 12:40 AM … tried every possible way until 1:40 PM then I threw him out.

Monday – 17 Sep. 2007 – 10:30 AM ..

I went to sleep .. and now the next day I’m at work and just called my last possible resource .. The Ministry of Communication .. and of course they said the problem is not with us!

I’ll go home today and call KEMS again and see shino aakhrat’ha.

And on top of all this … Juventus lost that match!

للغباء ..ثمن؟

بصراحه انا طول عمري احب الاشياء الجريئه و ما احب اللف والدوران. و عشان جذي وايد ناس من الاهل او الاصدقاء يتطنزون او يلوموني ليش احب مسلسلات فجر السعيد و احرص على متابعتها. مسلسلات فجر السعيد تعكس واقع كلنا ندري فيه موجود ..بس ننكره و نخجل الاعتراف فيه. وحتى لو المسلسل مافيه رساله انا شخصيا ما تهمني الرساله ..انا مو قاعد اشوف مسلسل عشان اتعلم عبره او موعظه في الحياه … انا اشوف مسلسل للمتعه و مشاهدة اشياء غريبه.

بداية من السنه اللي طافت طلعلنا منتج يديد وهو نايف الراشد في مسلسل جريء اسمه “صاحبة الامتياز” ..الغريب في الموضوع ان تقريبا 90% من الآراء اللي سمعتها كانت تنتقد المسلسل لجرأته …وبنفس الوقت كلهم كانوا متابعين له و بشغف بعد! … الناس بطبيعتها تحب الشيء الغريب والجريء حتى لو بدون هدف و لكن يصعب عليهم الاعتراف فيه.

هالسنه بعد طلعلنا نايف الراشد بمسلسلين وهما “الوزيره” و “للخطايا ثمن” و للأسف الثاني تم منعه و توقيفه حتى من ال mbc اللي رابطينهم بعقل و طلعوا خربوطه … المشكله ان نايف الراشد يدري ان المسلسل الاول وهو “الوزيره” مسلسل عادي و مافيه مشاكل و عشان جذي باعه لمحطة الوطن …و يدري مسلسل “للخطايا ثمن” راح يسوي مشاكل و يطلعولك اصحاب العقول الضعيفه والخفيفه والرجعيه بسالفه نفس اللي صارت الحين … ولهذا السبب المسكين راح باع المسلسل لمحطه بعيده وهي ال mbc لتفادي هذي العقول من منع المسلسل ..ولكن للأسف طالوه و منعوه. انا لو من نايف الراشد جان ما سويت المسلسل حصري على قناه واحده ..جان بعته على 20 محطه عشان يتم عرضه غصب عليهم. واصحاب العقول الخفيفه ما يدرون انهم سووا اكبر و اضخم اعلان للمسلسل ما يحلم فيه أي منتج او محطه. لو ساكتين جان يمكن محد اهتم …بس لانهم تحجوا الحين ما في احد ما يبي يشوفه ..و ما استبعد تلاقون المسلسل بعد رمضان ينباع في بسطات الجمعيات و سوق اليمعه ..و انا راح اكون اول المشترين!

* When I came back to blogging I noticed a lot of bloggers have already quit blogging or haven’t blogged anything for months! ..it feels like that movie “28 Weeks Later” when a man wakes up in a hospital in London and he found nobody in the hospital nor in the streets. Shisalfa?

I can’t believe it’s been almost 4 months since my last post. I hope I haven’t been forgotten. Well you know I got married and went on with my life which has been interesting and fun “wel7emdellah”. But I haven’t quit blogging, It was just a break.

Anyways..

I’ll try to come back this time and keep blogging to be touch and say what’s inside of me. But for now ..I wish you all Ramadan Mubarak “winshallah t3eedooonah” next year and for long ahead.

مبارك عليكم الشهر

Big Events ..this is just one!

kitty.jpg

Wow ..the last time I blogged was actually on my Birthday. I haven’t had the time - maybe - or the mood - diffenetly - to post anything. I’ve been too busy with a personal issue ..which is ..getting married!

I’ve been busy with furnishing the place and giving out invitations which I didn’t think would be this hard. Expecially when you keep remembering people that you forgot to write their names. But generally it’s fun. I’m feeling it’s the biggest thing happened in my life since my graduation which was in 2001. I need some action and a new big event in my life, and it’s about time.

Life is fun when you notice how many big events you could have in your life. Going to school, College, graduation, getting a job, getting married, having kids … these kinds of great events won’t stop as long as you live. You just need to appreciate them and really feel the value of each.

Excuse me for not posting for a while …but ..now you know. :)

 

*that picture doesn’t represent “the hand of marriage” choking me! ..it’s just my hand holding our annoying cat to teach him a lesson thats all.

.. Salfa 4 ..

prison_break.jpg

For those of you who watch it, and have seen the last episode of season 2. Does that mean season 3 will be about Lincoln trying to get his brother Micheal out of prison this time?

I liked season 1 better because of the breaking out plans and attempts. I hope season 3 will be about “back to prison” and breaking out again ..but tougher ..
NOW THAT’S GONNA BE REAL FUN!

Another little news I found on the Net about actor Lane Garrison who played “Tweener” and of course everybody knows “Tweener” ..

tweener1.jpg

He was drunk/driving and had a crash that killed a 17 yr old boy with two 15 yr old girls. Now he will face REAL prison and looking for about 6 years in prison.

*Only 6 yrs for killing 3 teenagers!

Maradona vs. Messi

This is a great new video comparing the 2 very similar and historical goals of Maradona and Messi.

My Opinion: I love both of them first because they are not brazilians :P ..and second because they have great techniques. My favorite players are always midfielder-striker. But still …in numbers and circumstances ..Maradona is still better than Messi .. why? ..because ..

Maradona was 25 yrs old and he scored his goal againest England National Team in a quarter final World Cup not mentioning the great defense England has.

Messi is 19  yrs old and he scored his goal againest an easy team in the Spanish league.

Some say Maradona passed 6 players while Messi passed 5. But from the video I only saw 5. I do like them both. But I don’t really care much .. Because my favorite player of all time was and will always be .. Roberto Baggio of Italy ..

That’s just my opinion. :)

سيرياني و السايق

maid.jpg

 

سيرياني اسم خدامتنا السيلانيه المتخصصه في تنظيف الغرف وغسيل الملابس والاوتي, و غرفتي انا طبعا …و انا اساسا ضد الخدامه السيلانيه بس لأني عزوبي موهقيني فيها …المهم …

سيرياني عمرها تقريبا 26 سنه ..متزوجه.. و من صورها السكسيه مع زوجها يبين انها تحبه ..وطبعا شفت هالصور عن طريق الصدفه لما رحت مع عامل الكهربا لغرفتهم لتصليح المكيف السنه اللي طافت و كانوا الصور محطوطين على المنظره ..ولزيادة الطين بله ..لقيتها بايقه صوري بعد وايامها مابقى احد ما تطنز علي ..المهم ..

سيرياني تعتبر من افضل الخادمات اللي مرو على بيتنا على مر السنين ..فهي تفهم و شاطره و ذكيه ..وجريييئه جدا .. و ما ادراك شكثر جريئه ..

الاسبوع اللي طاف كانوا الاهل رايحين خطبه عائليه و من الطبيعي البيت بكون خالي لوقت متأخر تقريبا …اتصلت الوالده على السايق ..مجيد .. متزوج وعمره تقريبا 35 ..وهو سايقنا الغبي و من شفته و انا ماني مشتهيه مادري ليش ..يمكن عشان مايغسل سيارتي عدل؟ ..يمكن عشان كله يسوي روحه فاهم وهو ثور؟ ..مادري المهم .. الوالده الله يحفظها اتصلت عليه عشان يمرهم و يرجعهم البيت …ولكن ..

“الجهاز مغلق …او خارج منطقة التغطيه …” طوط طوط طوط

كررت الاتصال بس ماكو فايده .. فاتصلت على البيت و قالت حق الخدامه الثانيه روحي شوفي مجيد وينه و قوليله خل يمرنا ..

وراحوا الـ 3 خدم ..تيسي و ساندي و وحده للحين ما حفظت اسمها .. في رحله للبحث عن مجيد السايق المغوار .. وما لقوه لا بغرفته ولا بره ..و بالصدفه لقوه طالع من باب الديوانيه المظلمه و معاه منو؟؟؟؟؟ …

 

سيرياني الحلوه طبعا!

 

و بعد جم يوم .. فتنوا الفارسات الثلاث على سيرياني و مجيد عند الوالده و قالولها “ماما هذا ما يصير جذي سيرياني مع مجيد سوي نوم نوم في ديوانيه” …

وقامت القيامه ..و فجعت الفاجعه مادري شسمونها ..شير يمشي ..احبال تطير ..المهم ..

عند مواجهة سيرياني اعترفت بالحقيقه و بكل برود ..

 

الوالد: انت يسوي شي مع مجيد؟

سيرياني: اي انا سوي نوم

 

لحظه سكون ..

 

الوالد: هممم …مره وحد؟

سيرياني: انا ما يدري كم مره.

 

لحظه سكون ..اطول ..

 

الوالد: هممم …كله في ديوانيه؟

سيرياني: لا لا ..مره ديوانيه مره صاله مره غرفه ..

الوالد: ذلفي لا بارك الله فيج!

 

وقد تم تسفير سيرياني بالأمس …و سيلحقها السايق مجيد اللذي مازال ينكر الواقعه.
