London Cold.


Hello from London Town.
I finally made it out of Doha. Arrived in London on the 25th evening, after a short halt in Bahrain. Arrived in London early morning to be greeted at home by all the family all dressed up and excted to have a day of fun, eating and Games, yes more about that later. I was dead, absolutely knackered as i had met some cool people on the plane and had spent seven ours chatting and laughing. Anyhow I quickly had a shower, put on a nice shirt and Jeans and it was straight out in the soft top with Mum, dad and the rest and two other cars following. Straight into Selfridges where all the fighting began, the sales had began and we were all determined to get the best. Brother wanted a 40 inch flat screen, me, I wanted Fendi trainers which i didnt get, and mum for some reason got it in her head that she wanted a pair of Jummy Choo shoes, god knows where that came from, she is quickly becoming an Amelda Marcus of the famly.

After a couple of hours we were so tired and hungry that we literaly left selfridges car park and headed straight home where we ate the most deliciouse meal of what i would say the Year. Everything was on the table, from Turkey to smoked salmon, and cranberry stufing made with nuts. We all then proceeded to have a long nap and woke up to my dads table of sweets. It was amazing, all the rest of the family came round, all the cousins and uncles, little arabia you could call it. And here is the weirdest thing, THE REALIZATION THAT I WAS ACTUALLY ENJOYING IT. Then cam out the games, fucking hillarious.

Yesterday I went to meet my friend from Qatar, Ibs. We went to a nice reastaurant in Knightsbridge. It was good. I had Kouzi and Ibs had kebabs JoJeh.

Anyway today is shopping again, and its just spo nice to sleep and eat, I also went to the gym yesterday with my bro and tomorow I have Yoga at Canary Warf.

Doha Asian Games, 2006




The Games of Your Lifes..

It is probably the truest thing i have ever heard, the Games of your Life. Well what with the roads all pulled up, all the diversions, and no turning left.. Have you noticed that you can never turn left.... its so weird hahahah.

Anyway I thought David Atkins put on an amzing feast for the Eye'e. The Closing ceremony was way better than the Opening, probablt down to not raining, infact the weather was amazing, not even cold.

I was with my friends and they thought it was super. Did you know that the screen behind is the biggest in the world. Madonna previously held the record.

Well done all you. I have a lot of friends at the Asian games, and I am going to be really sad to see them all go.

Last night I couldnt sleep, it was so annoying as I had recently just started sleeping well, and regular. I was dozing on and off whilst having vivid dreams. The strange thing is, most of my dreams come true. Our dreams combine verbal, visual and emotional stimuli into a sometimes broken, nonsensical but often entertaining story line, me personally, its only the bad dreams that come true. It is said that we can sometimes even solve problems in our sleep. Or can we? I have searched the net, and many experts disagree on exactly what the purpose of our dreams might be. Are they strictly random brain impulses, or are our brains actually working through issues from our daily life while we sleep -- as a sort of coping mechanism? Should we even bother to interpret our dreams? Many say yes, that we have a great deal to learn from our dreams.
One of the theories that I liked when I reserached this was of Dr. Freuds, who's theories are based on the idea of repressed longing -- the desires that we aren't able to express in a social setting. Dreams allow the unconscious mind to act out those unacceptable thoughts and disires. How many theories can we beleive. Some say your dreams are the opposite of what you feel or will even happen, eg- death menas birth, marriage divorce, or even vice versa. I guess one way of knowing how you dream, and how much of it is relevant is to keep a journal or diary, write down your dreams everyday and after a while you may see some practices or patterns happening. I guess your dreams have a large part of what you are feeling or thinking when you actually go to sleep.

Recently I ended a friendship that was not really working anymore, it was more of a bother than it was a pleasure. It has basically come to a natural end, and was so for a few months, then I dont know why, but was thinking about h

What's In........................

I will be looking out for these new shirts. D&G never lets you down. Ive just had a quick preview of the 2007 summer collection, it looks to cool.

They have kinda turned a corner this year and reverted to the Red Indian theme. Amazing paterns, busy shirts. They have also followed last years craze of pairing sets of long necklaces with cool pendants or feather?......

Look out Sallam at the Mall. I am coming your way.

Sun or Rain.........................


I really cant work out if it is Summer or Winter. I put on a Te-shirt and freeze to death, so I put on a jumper and sweat like a hipo.

Is this the change-over. Some nights I snuggle up into bed with the covers wrapped tight around me, other nights im laying on top of the covers with the A/C on full blast. Hat or cap, te-shirt or jumper, shorts or jeans, jesus- too many questions.

Its raining hard today, this country (Qatar) was not made for the rain, the lack of, if any drains is a disaster, basically I was knee high in water this morning getting to my car. Its dull and reminds me of London. Anyway I guess there are few things to be excited about.

I miss the pool, and the sun, I thought I loved the winter, especially in Qatar, but no no. I am definetly not likeing this.................................

Final Written Warning

Dear Friend, Brother, Clubbing Buddy......
This is now your written warning, you have had a verbal and now is your written warning.

I am tired and fed up with your bad time mangement and consistent lack of communication with change of plan.

I like you dude, alot. I seriously do. You are great, fun and very genuine. But why do you always change your plan on every occasion, its so annoying and really frustrating.

Further misconduct of this kind shall result in a rethink of our brotherhood. Take it easy dude, just playing with ya............ but as they say, half a joke is always true........

Good By Rainy Monday

Lets just say it rained all day long. I was recently in Dubai for an amazing video shoot for an advert you will all be seeing shortly. The effects are going to be amazing and probably require a stunt man from South Africa.

Anyway more about that later.

London is confirmed for the 21st, and hopfully it will be a very merry xmas with the peeps.

Travelling is the best and most easy way to learn, to experience culture. To meet new people and to open yourself, or expose yourself to new horizons and situations. I would love to just leave it all behind and go travelling. I really should just save enough to just leave work, and explore the unexplored, to search ones inerself. Well enought of this day dreaming and off top the conference for another fruitfull meeting before I catch my flight.
