Mother does not stop surprising me with her “wisdom”.
The other day and just after some guests left our home, she looked at me and asked “So what do you think of “Mohannad”?
Shopa: “Mohannad who?”
Mum: “Mohannad as in Mohannad & Noor”
Shopa: “Please don’t tell me you watch that crap”
Mum: “I don’t…What do you think of him?”
Shopa: […]

Among all the good things that happened during 2007, selling our house was the best part of all. It all started in March, when my parents had secretly put the house for sale. The house got many offers yet dear mum refused to sell. May came along and she changed her mind. Few months later, […]
While driving back home, thoughts were on my mind. Shall I talk to them about it? Why shouldn’t I? They always said they would understand and care. I’m confused as is and it’s not an easy decision to make on my own.
After all, they are my family!
WRONG!
I kept on talking about my concerns and for […]
Shopa (Running toward the study room): Muuuuuuum! Mum! MUM! I have a serious problem!
Mum: Yes? I’m busy; get to the point.
Shopa: My closet has no more space. I’m running out of space. You got to help me.
Mum: Oh sure sure. I have a solution, an easy one too.
Shopa: Which is?
Mum: You stop shopping
Shopa: Huh?
Mum: You […]
I just love it when a friend visits for the weekend, especially when it’s been so long since I last saw them. It amazes me how it would be years since I saw some people yet the minute I see them again, it feels like it was just yesterday that we hang out last.
A […]
Mom and Dad on speakerphone; I’m on the other side; we’re having a long parents and daughter chit-chat.
Shopa: To my surprise she wasn’t old.
Mom: Really? How old is she?
Shopa: I don’t know. She can’t be more than 35.
Mom: Really? Good for her.
Shopa: Can you imagine being in her position when she is only 35.
Dad: I […]
Weekend Highlights
Published by March 25th, 2006 in Life, Family, Relationships and GYM. 13 CommentsThe weekend came and gone without me noticing it. Wednesday, I left work an hour earlier. I was done with my project and had nothing else to do. This is one more thing I like about my job. If you have no work, you can leave! I went straight to the gym where I worked […]
My mum calls me to her room and hand me a printed-paper and demanded to know what is this. I scan it and OMG, it is not what I think it is. It looked like a printed copy of a blog. SHIT, was I busted? Did they manage to get a hold of my blog […]
Shopa, not really Shopa
Published by November 4th, 2005 in Kuwait, Friends, Life and Family. 16 CommentsI was chatting with a blogger on msn last night when they mentioned that they feel like I haven’t been myself lately, especially after coming back from London. They were totally right. I don’t feel I have been myself either. Now, when I think about it, it makes total sense. How can be the same […]
Can life be crazier? This week was busy busy busy. It is crazy how you spend 7 days packing, unpacking, packing again, then unpacking just to pack again. This week, most of my time was spent on trains and planes. I wonder why do my life have to be this way? Is it time to […]
