Update

I've been having a very busy and tiring week.. thus the lack of posts, going out, cs tournaments, sleeping. barely keeping up with myself, let alone keeping YOU up.

Watched Death Sentence 2 days ago or so in the cinema, not a bad action movie, half decent story, but the last 20minutes wouldnt have been out of place in a malbari action movie.

I re-discovered this awesome song by Tiesto, Olympic something, forgot its name, will check later when on pc, and add to Music.
Maybe i'll write a poem later tonight, just for the sake of it.

I've been playing counter strike in European servers today, with some friends who live there, and some guys in Dubai, ~130ping, which is good enough to place decently, gaining a lot of experience from scrimming there, fun shit. maybe i'll be joining some cups soon.

The weather today was really nice, finally a bit of cold and clouds after a week of intense sun and heat. i enjoyed cycling around in the cold wearing nothing but shorts and a t-shirt.

My university is gonna start really soon, less than a month now.
Orientation and some events throughout the month. Cant say i am excited, but i am looking forward to this new atmosphere. The studies seem to be awfully tedious. that sucks. Specially the first year, which is common for all Engineering majors.

I now have a new email address, wee.
finally decided my old one was too long, and made a new one, will be using both though. since all my accounts are registered on the old one, too much of a bother to change everything.
but i will be idling on msn with the new one.

Double Alexandrian Apple is .....
fucking phenomenal..

Thats it for now, BAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!eleven

Edit : Wrote and posted a new Poem, i think its my worst yet. Click here

Edit 2 : Came across this poem i saw online and loved :
"I am lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know your hurt too but what else can we do.
Tormented and torn apart"

Edit 3 : It turns out the above lines are from a song "All out of love" by Air Supply

Unlocking Dubai

Like the 6th grader i was, playing Grand Theft Auto 3, trying to get across the bridge into the next city and unlocking more and more new places, I've been trying to unlock dubai as a cyclist, and today, the vision has become a reality. I have managed to make my way from Qusais to Sheikh Zayed Road on a single gear BMX bicycle. I have also made a great achievment in a more personal matter today, so its been a great day.

The weather was beautiful as always, the sunrise stunning as it could get, and the moon radient as its morning self can be. The chilling wind is a great way to wake up, along with a steaming cup of coffee. Its amazing how much work the RTA is doing these days, you cant go a block without seeing some roadwork and diversions, its really impressive albeit temporarily annoying, as the end product seems to be very promising.Sneaking into City Centre at 6:30 AM was a lot more fun than i imagined it would be, watching the beast being prepared for yet another day.

The floating bridge truly is impressive, constructed in record time, has enough lanes to support a great number of cars, and with no vehicles over 2.5 Tonnes allowed, its always quite fast moving. Another great thing about it is that its pedestrian friendly, with side paths for pedestrians and bikes. The creek is a really beautiful place in the mornings, still as a mirror, with the beautiful rays of morning light reflecting gently on its smooth surface.
Being short on cash as i had left my wallet at home, i had 10dhs to get lunch, so i decided to try something, i bought a pack of 5 dates and a 500ml bottle of fresh milk and was amazed at how refreshing it was, after 6+ hours of cycling, and only a salad and juice for breakfast, it actually made me feel saturated and energised and i didnt feel hungry again until 7pm or so.
Overall, it was a great day, physical endurance, experimental eating, experiencing nature. I had my fill of new stuff for the week, advanced happy new year everyone, although i dont see the point in celebrating a new year, since its a new year everyday.

I am in Love

I had my math placement test at university today, it was a lot harder than i expected and i can definitely say i got owned.

it was nothing unexpected though, since most of it was stuff i didn't take anyway. i had an awesome barbecue a few days ago, the best food i ever ate. the beautiful weather and nature added alot to the experience.

I am totally in love, with nature, its unfaltering beauty, food, its sensational flavors, Portal, i fell in love with it again, it truly is an amazing game, one of a kind.
Chess, although i didn't play since my defeats with my uncle, i fall in love with it more and more everyday, as i see its relations and metaphors in real life and finally with Mathematics, truly otherworldly.

I am currently trying to fix my life as i am my chess skills, rather than making strong moves into the right path and working hard on them, i am still at the stage where i am trying to avoid common mistakes and traps, fiends of my past. Like the first part of a chess game, we secure our position, set a path for the end game, for all of chess, like life, is leading to the 'end game'. Then comes the middle game, where you must strategize and plan strong moves that will guarantee a secure passage through the end game.
My shadow screams get a life, but i r happyz.

Listening to Camel while in a car with open windows, and a driver going FAST is an awesome experience, specially after a long, tiring day.

Naps are scary, they are like a drug, more enjoyable than a full nights sleep, yet time consuming and unproductive, my instinct tells me to stay awake, my eyes tell me to leave them alone and give in.
