Places where I work and live currently at Cambridge, UK

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:11:34 GMT

Well, I thought to post something about where I live and work these days at Cambridge, UK. It is a bit far away from the town itself. So I just get into the town only on Saturday, the rest of days, I got to work then to home. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is hard to find a place to eat at also, so I try to manage this by making food at home. It is a good place actually, but still in the middle of no where :o)

Special day, it is 08-08-08

Fri, 08 Aug 2008 09:47:13 GMT

Well, I thought is something to blog about. It is 08-08-08 (dd-mm-yy) day, this day will never come again till the next century. So as 01-01-01, 02-02-02 etc.. and the sequence will stop on 12-12-12. because there is not 13th month :o)

Nothing so special about numbers or dates except the match between the day, month and year. But it is funny.

Another funny date for me was 06-07-08. This day I traveled to UK, and I'm staying here for 3 months.

Today is special day because of numbers. And tomorrow is a special day because it is my lovely wife's birthday. It is a good chance to say Happy Birthday to you darling, and I sill love you dear, you don't have to worry even if I might think of getting married again :o)p.

Have a nice day everyone.

My blog Anniversary

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:15:08 GMT

Once again, celebrating my blog anniversary for the 3rd year. This time I'm at Cambridge, UK. When I start this live space blog I was at Abu Dhabi, UAE. That in July 2005.

As supposed to be, another year, with different stories and actions. I'll start with a summary about myself, then move to summarize my best buddies journey along the past year.

About myself, the real action start just few months ago. But I'll start with the most exciting incident I remember, my daughter's first year birthday on Last January. On Feb, I launched my professional blog starting to walk through the professional life on my career road. And about actions, last May I quit my job and started to search for new one. Returned back to Cairo after long 7 months of traveling between UAE and Egypt. Of course, my wife was sharing all that, except the blogging thing that was totally mine :0)

Now time to talk about those who really have touches in my life. The fellowship of my life:

Real actions in Sameh's life, messed up a bit but he's still living and smiling. Not sure what he is going to do. But he was about to get divorced.
Motaz, God be with you buddy. About a year now, searching and jumping between jobs. A man who really sailing in strong winds, and yet still alive, smiling and keep searching.
Ali, oh man, happy birthday before anything. But Ali! what is new in your life buddy?! I can see any changes since last year. Except that stupid experience (getting married to incorrect girl) you were about to put yourself into. And of course visiting Egypt again after 4 years was something. I missed you really Ali.
Karim, Congratulations. Finally the guy get married to the girl he loved about 5 or 6 years ago. Long love story, hopeless one, became true and they just get married last Feb. Congratulations guys.
Muhammad Moustafa, he is also going to get married or already get married this month. I'm at UK, and he is very hard to find. I wish to join him this moments of his life. But life isn't that easy and it never give us all what we wants. But really being a friend of yours Moustafa is really amazing. And nothing like the old days.
I keep my sweet till the end. Abu, Ahmad Abu Elkhair, Same troubles he face since a year or more. And yet same guy I used to know. And the best to have a talk with. Also facing strong winds, and cheering those who depressed as he used to do! But he is the one who usually being depressed!!

New people really I feel that they added a value to me. Amr ElSehemy is one of them. And few others totally changed my idea which was good about them, to some ruins because of their sick souls.

I can say, I lost another one this year, but it wasn't my fault. sounds like every year I'm losing someone. I couldn't mention his name, or ever remove him from my old blog entries. Still I do remember our best days together. And I wish that would have a better life.

So that was all for this post, and happy Anniversary to me.

Why did I quit my last job?!

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:24:09 GMT

Well, it's been a while now, almost 2 months since I quit my last job and resigned. And yesterday I was thinking of the reasons that made me take this step. And so, I decided to put them on.

Lack of professional working environment.
No process really being followed to achieve anything.
Those who work are equally to those who don't.
No care about time or efficiency.
Too much work load while there is no reason.

I tried to change few the things I don't like, but I couldn't. I didn't get much support. So it was the end for me, I couldn't take it anymore. There is a long story behind the list above, but I tried to make long story short.

A month has gone!

Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:08:05 GMT

A month has gone since I resigned from my job. And I in the last 35 days I was searching for a new job and preparing few papers. Thank God I didn't wait so long as I expected, and I found a new job, hopefully it will be better than my previous one.

Basically I'm searching for professional environment where every one carry his responsibilities appropriately. An environment where talk is less and actions are much. No big mouths I seek, honored persons I wish to meet.

As we live, we gain experience in different fields, and commonly we seek experience in our field of profession and work. And I also seek experience in how to accept the other and how to interact with people in professional way.

In country like Egypt, and you'll find in the region (middle east) many countries like Egypt; professional environment is missing in most places. Sadly, this is a truth, why, and how I don't know. But this is the way it is. I try to stuck with my ideas, and at least correct myself, to be able to judge others.

That was my last post for the last day of June. By the end of next month (July) will be my Live Space 3rd Anniversary, and I usually post a summary of the year that has passed. So I'm waiting and trying to prepare for my anniversary post.

Sick Mind!

Sat, 24 May 2008 21:15:35 GMT

I'm sure that most of us already got a chance to meet with some sick minds in this world. Myself, I do. But I forgot most of them. And recently I worked and lived with one of them! and I was totally cheated on him. And I'm sure he will be forgotten just as all of the sick minds I met before.

The whole story started with respect, and ended with disrespect. I have my reasons, be he has no reasons but weak reasons. I have many people who agree on my opinion but he has only his sick mind to live with. That is why, I call him a sick mind.

Why do I call him sick mind?! Well, the story started 6 months ago I think. When he started to ignore his duty and not to full fill his position. As well as disrespecting others efforts and not appreciating their support for him. He totally throw his responsibilities out of the windows, expecting someone else to Cary them on behalf of him. He used to protect himself, by protecting someone else, because both of them were always and always delayed on their jobs. He used to call himself senior, while he totally acts against that.

When someone tried to remind him of the word responsibility, he answered "What, What is the issue exactly?! what responsibility you are talking about?!". Beside all that, he totally rap my rights in objection or request for his punishment to keep the right of the others. Someone like him, cannot be trusted. And I know why he never try to search for another job, that is because he will not be able in any other environment, because he is not professional, and he runs things the way he likes. But I don't like it, so I'm waiting to see where his sick mind is going to lead him! or maybe he will change his mind with some brand new one. But anyway, it is over, and I would never be happy to see him again even by coincidence.

What Animal Am I?

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 14:30:27 GMT

I am a Puma

Reserved, overly-critical, and sometimes a bit on the cranky side, I know where my place is and don't bother to impress people. I have few friends, but lots of respect from others as well. People see me as mysterious, because I don't enjoy opening up to others.

Site Traffic hit 17000 Page Views

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:22:08 GMT

Last night My live space register 17000 page views. On 27th of Nov it was 9000. I would like to thank all my friends who and all those who visited my live space. You are all amazing!

During the last period I met wonderful people and made good relations with many of them. And they all inspired me by a way or another. Sharing of stories of our lives and ideas with thoughts open universe gate to us. We might not agree with each other most of time, but at least we are teaching ourselves how to listen and accept the other.

Thank you all once again.

Religion talks!

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 20:09:41 GMT

I do not usually debate others regarding religion unless they poke me or try to get me into such subject. The reason behind that is that I am not knowledgeable enough to provide correct answers and actually I should not because I'm not qualified person to get into such discussions. However if I am in such situation I do my researches and submit the questions I got and return back to those who asked me with the proper answers to their questions. The other reason is if you wish to keep your relation with others out of troubles just do not open such subject. But that doesn't mean if I found someone speaking incorrect information about my religion I remain silent! No, I correct his information as much as I can.

Recently, a honorable woman passed by this live space -mine- and posted a comment on one of my pictures with my daughter and my wife. The comment showed to me that totally she knows nothing about Islam! however she left the comment and gone. She is Christian and she seem to be religious one. Well I had no problem at with her comment and I replied to her. She asked me in her comment to visit her space to find the truth and the survive in Juses! I already know my religion very well, and I already made studies about bible and I already had my choice and found peace in where I am. But I decided to visit her space to read more and submit my comments and questions just as how she did!!

So, I visited her space, I didn't read anything new to me! So I decided to post few questions to her and wait for her answer! Normally, I just did exactly as the way she did on my posts and photos.

I don't remember how many questions I asked, and I'm not going to post my questions in here! because actually I'm not waiting for an answer because I already know the answer, I just wanted her to confirm the answer I already knew. Well, this is not my subject anyway, my subject is, she deleted my comments and my questions from her posts?!!! Yes she deleted them! With no excuse or even apology. Yes it is her right to do so, but it is my right to comment and ask. And actually she is the one who invited me. As I said before, if I passed by her space without knowing, I would never post such questions to her. I'm not asking people to convert to Islam it is not my job. But it might be my duty to correct their ideas about Islam and ask them to read more about it as long as they wish to debate.

Anyway, her comments are still available on my space, but my comments are deleted! So if you are not ready to accept others idea, or be able to debate with them; just keep yourself away from such subjects. Myself I'm not ready, but if someone put me in such situation I would at least keep his/her comments and search for answers!

How stupid am I?

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 19:32:21 GMT

Well, I thought to take the "How stupid are you?" quiz on facebook, then I decided to share my results here, so here it is:

"You're a genius, but this just means you sometimes don't have so many practical skills. For example, Einstein was a friggin' genius, but he often forgot which house was his. You win some, you lose some - at least you've been smart enough to figure that out."

First Year, Happy birthday Mariam

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 06:18:25 GMT

Today is my daughter's fist year birthday. Her name is Mariam. Like today last year, 13th Jan 2007 at 11:30 PM she was born. Sadly today I am away from her; not celebrating with her and her mother along with all our friends and family her first year birthday. So I'm going to celebrate my way and dedicate this post to her.

Few days ago she also had her first walk steps alone. Also she was sick, ooh she is so poor when she is like that. Also her lovely mother was sick too, she had a flu. But thank God, they both are almost recovered now.

Today on my daughter's 1st Birthday, I would post few pics of her first year in life. Just a summary of her journy during the last period.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MARIAM

First steps!

Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:35:53 GMT

Well, something interesting at least for me! I just received a message from my wife that my daughter Mariam took her first 2 walking steps alone. Almost a year now since she born, on 13th Jan she will complete her first year.

I'm away from home, and a bit excited to know she walked. And waiting to get back home to see her walking and doing all her funny stuff she used to do. Except her crying, cause she has a noisy loud crying voice.

Am I a good friend?!

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 17:32:02 GMT

You are 98% of a friend!

You are a very good friend. In fact, you are too good to be true! Was this test taken by a machine? You definitely value your friendship, and you are willing to sacrifice anything for your friend. While this is commendable, it is not healthy. It almost seems as if you are getting much, much less than you are contributing. Do not be afraid to be your own person. Stand up for yourself, and learn when to say no. Otherwise, you may just end up resenting your friend--if not yourself.

Oh, that is cool, few minutes a go my live space traffic hit 9000 Page views, that is since July 2005. So as the number is fixed 9000 so I thought to blog this for history records.

Now I'm at Abu Dhabi UAE, soon will be back to my Cairo inshallah. I missed Egypt and everybody there. And I'm excited because when I return I'll meet my best friend Omar. Been more than a year now since he moved to USA. More than a year now we didn't see him. Me and Abu is waiting for that moment when we gathered again, before we get separated one more time, as this is how life should treat us.

Abu is in France, and he seemed not to be happy . Normal thing I guess, especially in a time like this time in France where everything is messed up. So dude hold on, soon you'll be home.

Motaz, what is new buddy? Missed my journey mate Motaz so much! and I dedicate to him the song of Muhammad Mounir "After the Deluge" "بعد الطوفان".

My blog Anniversary

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 16:44:48 GMT

It is a tradition for me now to celebrate my Blog Anniversary! even alone when no body notice. Last year I've blogged about 1st year Anniversary, again this year but it is the 2nd year and we are starting the 3rd one.

Changes in my life took place, a new life is brought to my life -my daughter Mariam-, a friend who became a past that I will never remember. Sadness and happyness or a compination of both at the same time.

Still sharing my life with Abu, watching Moa'taz developing a new one, while Karim made a great achievement in his life by getting engaged to the love of his life. Sam has his new child Ali -10 months now-. Muhammad Mostafa came into the scene after a long time, but I missed you Mostafa during your absence. Omar experiancing new experiance in USA, 9 months now, and Cairo is quiet with you Omar, and I'm missing the smile you draw on my face. Finally Ali, I'm sure he is still the one I left him 10 months ago, and for this one, nothing new at all, but I DO REALLY MISS YOU ALI and happy birthday to you Ali.

Haitham, a fake friend, I think he is ghost that just passed on our lives, but actually left nothing, no sorrow, no pain, no smile, just nothing. I'm not sure if he realized the truth of himslef or not.

So where we are now? and what is gonna happen? all these ar the unknown, only god knows, and I'm waiting to discover.

And the winner is!

What interest me on this presentation it has reference to one of the article I wrote and published on C-SharpCorder.com. It only reference an image I made with vision to explain the subject.

Well I find this an added value to me, someone read my publication and gain benefit of it, wonderful, isn't it?!

Hope it was really useful.

It seems that middle east region issues affect person's life in the area directly or indirectly. I started to have that feeling! and I'm thinking of giving up middle east region. Of course am not going to add value to the area by staying or leaving, so it will not be affected by my reactions.

I'm not sure how good it is outside this region, hopefully it is better! I'm writing as I'm really going to leave, while I'm not. It is just only a hope. But if I got the chance, a good chance to live better life, I would! again, I'm not saying I'm living in a misery, but want to live an easier life, where I know exactly what it is my rights and what is my duties. In middle east, there is no rights, there is no duties! Or in another word, these things are not clear enough!

Well, it is only thoughts and at the end, I'm still living in middle east!

Tue 13th of Feb 2001 - Tue 13th of Feb 2007

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 15:19:18 GMT

Well this is anniversary I want to celebrate! From about 6 years, on Tue 13th of Feb year 2001 a funny incident happened to us. Yes to us Me, Abu and Omar and many others of our friend. We were waiting for the 1st Term exam results of the 2nd Year of Computer & Information Systems college. And about 60% of the student fail in Data Structure subject. Of course I was one of them.

I was so much fun.We were laughing that day, trying not to think of what we got, especially many of us -including me- failed in some other subjects, which means that we are in a danger state as this may cause is to repeate this year again if we didn't pass the 2nd term free.

Now we are year 2007, and after 6 years, Same day, same Date; Tue 13th of Feb. this is not going to happen every year, so I thought I have to blog it.

After all, those were the best days of my life, and I wish I could have one of those days back.

I missed you Omar out there in USA. And I'm happy that you are here with me Abu.

I PASSED: UPGRADE-MCSD Microsoft® .NET Skills to MCPD Enterprise Application Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework-Part 2

Mon, 16 Oct 2006 13:18:25 GMT

Well, after one time failure from 2 days. I decide to have my revenge, espeically that I did well in the first time knowing that I didn't use any testking exams to prepare. I used the Microsoft Workshop materials. And to be honest, many things are mentioned in these materials.

So, the exam I passed today was 070-554 for MCSD.Net Upgrade to MCPD Enterprise Application Developer Part 2. The failure in the first trial was because of the distributed applications (TS:070-529). Actually I didn't prepare for it well as I didn't read much about WSE 3.0. The one that was perfect and realy easy was (TS:070-549) Designing and Developing Enterprise Applications by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework. This exam section was easy & cleare, except 1 or 2 questions, and I got a good score bar on it.

After I returned home, I opened the WSE 3.0 module in the Workshop materials(Workshop 2549) and start to read about it. And I found realy lots of information I faced in the exam. After a while, I made a small search online, and I got the exam. It was the same as the one I did except some few questions that were not in the exam I found, may be they reach 10 questions. I downloaded it, and start to evaluate my answers. I found that I really did well, and may be I failed because of 1 or 2 questiones that I couldn't answer them correctly.

Anyway, I evaluated myself in the exam again. and decide the take the second shot today morning. Thank god I made it, not with high score (760), but acceptable especially that I never review my answers and also never spend to much time in the exam.

The questions I liked most, was from the exam 070-549, also I found this exam online, and it is easy and contains most of the questions that I faced in my 1st and 2nd trials.

I think now I'm entitled as MCPD: Enterprise Application Developer. Well it is nice to achieve that early.

Wish you all the best.

The Nile is calling me

Sat, 09 Sep 2006 23:48:58 GMT

The Nile is calling me,
Asking me to come back,
Looking at reflections in his water,
I'm seeing wonderful memories,
He remembers every moment,
He remembers who we are,
But, do we?!
Where are those who are in the memories,
They are only memories,
They dosen't exist any more,
But they only exist in the reflections,
Of the Nile, who always remember.

The Nile is calling you,
Asking you to come back,
Look at refelctions in his water,
You'll see our wonderful memories,
You'll remember every moment,
You'll remember who we are,
Yes you do!
You'll know where we are,
And you'll get these memories back to present,
Where we exist,
Beside the River Nile,
Who always remember.

Ode to my mother

Sat, 02 Sep 2006 15:44:43 GMT

She understand the things I say,

She never gives up that way,

She was there when no one care,

She was cruel when I was fool,

She stand alone, until we all done,

She taught me right from wrong, and the way to be strong,

The heaven is under her feet,

And this is where I belong.

More & more about Taurus

Wed, 23 Aug 2006 10:31:12 GMT

The symbol for Taurus is the face and horns of the bull,
which won't budge an inch unless it's goaded. Then it will
charge with all its might at its tormentor.

'I HAVE' is the motto for Taurus. You are materialistic and
set much store by money and possessions. Security is very
important to you: you like to put down roots and build, whether
it's a home or a business. You don't like change and will hold
out against it for as long as you can.

You have a very sensual side and are fond of the good things
in life, particularly good food and wine. You also appreciate beauty,
whether it's a melodious piece of music or a view of the garden
from your kitchen window.

You're practical and resourceful and have your feet firmly on the ground.
You're also stable and reliable and make a staunch friend, although you
expect loyalty in return.

Your caution and resistance to change can make you seem stubborn and
unimaginative.

You are the nature-lovers of the zodiac.

The Earthy Taurus Character

Wed, 23 Aug 2006 10:23:13 GMT

Taurus THE BULL, the sign of the builder, and the earth we stand on
Taureans are extremely faithful, with a strong need for security and a settled routine.

Although they are very earthy, they can also be highly romantic and sensitive when it comes to love.

The bright side
Taurus has a patient, grounded and reliable personality. People know where they are with a Taurean,
unless they go too far!

The Taurean is also warm and sensual, with an appreciation of the fine things in life. Taurus is motivated by a need for security, this sign is good for business matters and can be trusted to carry things through with absolute care.

As an earth sign Taurus values the environment and will do everything possible to preserve it, even if that only extends to their immediate surroundings.

Taureans are Practical, reliable, patient, persistent, solid, determined, industrious, strong willed, sensuous, affectionate, warm hearted, trustworthy.

The dark side
Unfortunately the Taurean personality can be so committed to self preservation and so cautious in their approach to matters that they can become tedious and boring! Many people seem prepared to brave this tedious behaviour for an evening of fine food and wine that will always appear at Taurean dinner parties.

Taureans at their best are typically strong and silent, but often appear ignorant and wilfully obstinate to others.

Lazy, possessive, self-indulgent, dull, inflexible, unoriginal, unimaginative, greedy, stubborn, resentful, hidebound by routine.

Ailments
Earache, goitres, gout, laryngitis, obesity, tonsillitis, swollen neck glands, throat inflammations, constipation.

Beneficial foods
Beans and celery.

You are most compatible with
Leo - extremely loving, I'm married to a Leo woman

I PASSED: UPGRADE-MCSD Microsoft® .NET Skills to MCPD Enterprise Application Developer by Using the Microsoft .NET Framework-Part 1

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 17:44:37 GMT

Ohh thank god, I can't believe that I have passed the upgrade exam 70-553 (Part 1) to MCPD Enterprise Application Developer today. Well this is good news.

I took the decision to attend the exam today with no further plans to do that. I didn’t even prepare myself for it I had few knowledge about the new .Net Framework 2.0 as I think in web applications and windows applications as well as the foundation of application development on the new framework.
The exam was made of three sections; I think they cover the following exams:

70-526: TS: Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 – Windows-Based Client Development.
70-528: TS: Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 – Web-Based Client Development.
70-536: TS: Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 – Application Development Foundation.

The exam time was 270 minutes total with 87 questions, (29 for Windows-Based Client), (30 for Web-Base Client) and (28 for Application Development Foundation), and I spent about 150 minutes.

The funny thing in this exam is you can face a difficult question, and find the answer in the next question, and be sure about the correct answer in the following question. Really it happened with me 3 or 4 times in this exam. And the questions were in sequence following each other. Also I faced the same question twice but with deferent representation way. That made me feel I’m taking the beta exam.

I think, now I’m entitled as Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Web Applications & Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Applications.

Anyway, it was so much fun passing this exam from the first trial, and I think I did well as the score bars says in the sectional results for each exam section.

Good luck to everyone who is planning to take the upgrade exams.

My blog Anniversary

Sun, 23 Jul 2006 21:10:48 GMT

Ah, today -24th of July- is special day for this blog. Today is considered the birthday of my blog on my space. Like this day from a year, I posted my first blog entry in this blog it was "Land of Civilization - Words". In the same day I posted 2 other entries:

This space its blog entries, is supposed to reflect my thoughts, ideas & opinions. I want to show who are my friends and how much we are connected and form a complex unique mixture.

I want to express how much I do love my sweethear wife, Emma.

I want to tell my mother that without her there are us -me, my brother, my sister and the entity of me and my wife-

I'd like to say to :

Abu, You are the source of goodness, without you, Life would be cruel
Sam, You are the oldest, I feel like you are inside my brain.
Mizo, We were always together, no matter what the situation now, you still my best fellow.
Omar, you are the source of fun and joy. I know you can stand against twisters with a big smile.
Ali, you are my lucky star, if Abu is not there, I'll start looking for you. You are the best listener when I want to talk.
Kareem, You are the source of generosity & kindness. You have the biggest heart after all.
Haitham, Please note your place in the list, Abu is the first and you are the last. I always start where Abu exists, and end where you exist. You are the wise man. You feed my brain, my soul and my life with hope, dreams and love.

So, this is the 1st year, a year has gone, and my blog grow old one year.

I love you Emma, I'm nothing with you guys & life is nothing without you mother beside me.

God bless you all

Honey Moon Adventures

Tue, 02 May 2006 00:44:20 GMT

Well, last week was supposed to be my honey moon, let's call honey week; as it was one week 21st-28th of April.

One week, but full of action and adventures, started from the first day which is 21th of April.

I made surprise to my wife on this week, as I planned a trip to Sharm Al-Shaikh on this week. My friend Moa'taz was the honey moon planner.

I asked him to make a reservation for me on Sharm Al-Shaikh, and he did -as he said-. He said he booked for me a very good hotel with nice price, sea view and he will provide me with his friends phone numbers to plan some internal trips on the red sea and safari on Sinai. I called the hotel to make sure that my reservation is registered on the hotel, the Hotel name was Sharm Life.

Very cool Moa'taz, I was excited by the idea. So, I went with my Friend Omar to book for the transportation, and I booked 2 tickets to Sharm Al-Shaikh.

The Zero hour has come, and I told my wife about the surprise and she was happy and excited too.

We travel about 8 hours by the bus to reach Sharm Al-Shaikh. And there, a shock surprise was waiting for us, something un-expectable and very hard to recover.

Weather in Sharm Al-Shaikh was too hot. We took a taxi to the Sharm Life Hotel, very very very bad hotel, hardly it can reach 1 star. Also the hotel has no sea view, it is imposible to have a sea view as it is too far from the sea.

Anyway, I asked for my reservation, but they said there is no reservation for me. This wasn't big shock, sure there is a mistake. I called a person who is supposed to be the front office manager of the hotel, he welcomed me, and described the hotel location. And here is the shock, the hotel is in Hurghada and the hotel name is Charm Life not Sharm Life.

Now, what should we do, a trip to Hurghada will take about another 10 hours, as I we should get back to Cairo first and then take a bus to Hurghada, there is no direct bus to Hurghada from Sharm Al-Shaik.

I called Moa’taz, my survivor, my honey moon planner. I asked him again, Where did he reserved for me, and he answer in Sharm Al-Shaik. I told him the situation and he was shocked too. He said he will call me after 10 min.

After 10 min he called me back and said that he made a reservation for me in another hotel at Sharm Al-Shaik for one night, and on the next day I should check out and take a ferry to Hurghada from Sharm Al-Shaik. The funny thing is the ferry will leave at 6 pm. And I have to stay with my wife about 6 hours on the air, live till we take our ferry.

Ok, the next day we made an amazing tour in Sharm Al-Shaik, it was the first time me to visit this city. We had a tour on the sea on glass boat, and then we had our launch. The tour with launch took about 4 hours, and then we took our luggage and go the marina to take our ferry to Hurghada. It was 2 hours ferry journey, but it was cool.

Hurghada weather was perfect, fresh cool air. The other good thing is the hotel, it was great. Has a nice design and cool environment. Simply me and my wife love it.

We spent in Hurghada from 22^nd – 28^th of April. On 24^th we had a sea safari journey. It was amazing sea journey. And the weather was wonderful.

We supposed to have another trip on land, safari as well on the desert and mountains, according to the blasts that occur in Dahab near Sharm Al-Shaik, all trips were delayed and we couldn’t go out the hotel in the next 2 tow days.

Anyway, it was very nice adventure in the honey week. I love it as well as my wife. And of course I want to tell Moa’taz thank you, but I will not recommend you buddy.

I have to admit that you put some spicy to the trip ya Mizo.

Never give a chance to lose an old friend

Fri, 14 Apr 2006 23:55:31 GMT

As we live in this tough life, its procedures and noise made us forget ourselves and our friends. This is a change to forget all about your fellows and people who used to spend good and hard times with you.

You may ask "Why they didn't start it first and call me?" or "They have their own life now, I should stay far away!". But why you give such thoughts a chance to get into your mind. No No No, don't, start it yourself, run after them, even if they didn't act the same, just keep going after them. They deserve, for the old days they do, for the next hard times they will be right next to you, they deserve. Don't try to find reasons for yourself to keep yourself away, or not to be blamed because you didn't asked about them. Just give them 1000000 chances, and let's stay all together.

This is a message, hope it will reach its distance.

Being Sad, upset, and life tough

Thu, 13 Apr 2006 00:48:29 GMT

Interacting with the world around us, may have a great influence on us, on our feelings or on our mood. This may give us a hope, or take us to the fact the the life is tough, and it is not as easy as we wish.

Things that made my life to be easy, or to made me be able to take it with its all good and hard times, these things are my friends, and the love of all people around me, the smile of my friends, the sound of there laughs, the stories and memories we share. Whenever I feel sad, upset and life is tough, I try to remember old days, good and hard times. May be call one of you guys, because you are able to take me out from where I'm in. Speically you Abu.

Abu, really we miss you, and we are all waiting for you. Sometimes, I feel you are the origin of all of us.

Well this blog is not releated to you Abu. But whenever we fill like that, you are always the first person to come up to my mind.

Guys, we will always be together inshallah, let's not lose ourselves in the rush of our life. let's be as we were used to be.

I love you all, my loyal friends.
