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)

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.

Ok, it is my first time to blog about an incident happen to me at Cambridge, UK. Last week ends was my 4th weekend at Cambridge. It is a lovely city/village and good place to live in.

Anyway, I decided to go to some club last weekend. I had my plan, 1st go to have a launch, then watch WALL-E and finally at night go to some club where I knew there a DJ I wanted to listen to what he is going to play.

So at 10 PM after movie I went to the club. And as usually when I go to any club, I start to dance, because when it gets crowded I never get a chance to have my own fun!

After sometime place get crowded a bit, and people there were wearing strange customs!! Not all of them, but many of them. Like girls/ladies wearing kind of butterfly wings! I don't know why! but anyway but that was the case and it seems just normal to them.

One of those girls with butterfly wings come to me and start to ask me something that I didn't understand because of the loud music:

She: Do you have a brother?!
Me: What?!
She: A brother! Do you have a brother?
Me: No I don't have a problem!
She: No no, brother, you know sister, brother.. So do you have a brother?!
Me: Ahhhhh, No no, Not here not now! But why?!

Then she showed a small paper has the following written:
"Kiss 2 brothers and win ....."

Well, I couldn't notice what exactly she should win, because her fingers were hiding that! But I looked at here with a pout! So no Brother, No kiss!! She smiled and fly away!

That was funny. Later I noticed her flying between guys! it seems like they had a kind of contest to do different things. They pick a paper from bag, and then do what is written on that paper.

Well, about my next weekend, I guess I'll go to watch Mummy, then later will see what else I could do..

WALL-E What a beautiful movie. One of my best cartoon movies I ever seen. Well, it is a bit new brand style cartoon movie. For the most of time, you are watching WALL-E and EVE 2 robots who sometimes speak with their electro voice or might not speak at all or just speak of 2 words "WALL-E" or "EVE" :o).

And this is the challenge, You still feel the movie and characters. You live the story and interact with it emotionally. The movie is full of beautiful meanings including save and care for our mother earth. And I guess this is the main goal.

Funny, and totally funny must seen movie. Here is 2 links where you can know more about the movie as well as watch trailers.

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.

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 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.
