Music
I have been listening to Kenny Roger's "Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer" a lot.

Driving
A Pakistani taxi driver hit the side of Silverine and here is the discussion between me and the driver before the police came:

Driver: Inta majnon (he speaks no English at all)
Me: You majnon. Why you drive so fast and why you hit me when you can see I was turning.
Driver: Majnon
Me: You crazy idiot.

The police came and asked questions.

Me: He was driving too fast, I came out from this side and he was around 500 meters away from me. I was on the middle lane and suddenly he hit me on the side.
Police: Oh, no its your fault because you were coming out (he speaks few English words)
Me: What?? This is a road, if somebody signals to go right or left and you are far, you let them go and you don't just hit them. That is road courtesy. That driver was driving too fast because his tire even blew up when he hit me. Check his tire, he changed it just before you came. Why would anyone do that??
Police: What?? He changed his tire?
Me: Yeah.
Police: Wait. (He went to the taxi driver and he screamed at him. They were talking in Arabic). The Police went to the far side and was seeking for any road marks or screech marks. He called me.
Me: Yes?
Police: You have full insurance?
Me: Yes.
Police was writing something on the paper.
Me: I know it is not my fault so please do not give me fine, do not put anything on my record and do not make me pay for his damage on his car.
Police: mumbling mumbling. Give this to your insurance company, they will pay for the damage.
Me: Okay.
Police: For his damage, let him do whatever he wants to do with his taxi.
Me: You know, you should tell him to be courteous, this is not the main highway that they can just speed up all the time. They should think about other drivers on the road. They do not own the road.
Police: Madam, you have to understand, not everybody is the same. These people come from the mountain and they do not know anything. Not like you where you come from heaven where everything is arranged and people follow rules. You know?
Me: uh. Okay. (I cannot argue more because my license is only a month old and I don't really want any record on my file.) Plus he almost said I'm an angel, which made my day :-) Hehehe.

Outing
We went for shisha at the Le Meridien, Brian, Djahan and me. There was a couple and they were both staring me the whole time since we sat down. I could not understand. Maybe they knew I have Par Excellence card, which is almost useless. I normally get 50% discount for two people dining and 33% discount on 3 people dining, but I got only 15% discount. This thing is almost crap really. And I never found out why the couple were staring at me. They left before us.

Party
Yesterday we had a party at the office. 3 of our colleagues are celebrating their birthdays. 2 are twins, one of them is my superior. I prepared the balloons and the decorations with the help of other staff. I love preparing for these kind of events. I love the balloons specially. When the guy came to deliver the balloons, he held them in a bundle and when he was in the room, he knelt for a bit and shook the strings he was holding and released them. aaah.. It was sooooo cute... The balloons distributed themselves on the ceiling and everything just looked festive and merry.

I think I should make a party for myself and get me lots of balloons.

My camera is crap. It took blurred pictures. HMP!!!!
