(Japanese for Ouch!!)

Yesterday was the first of May (also known as May day) and my self and a couple of friends decided to go to the beach to have a nice game of volleyball with other colleagues

We had fun, we started from 2 till 6pm, the weather was nice sunny cold air (click on the puzzle for some pictures). As a precautionary measure I used sun block lotion just in case

I’m aching from head to toe (literally) I should start sports again know that the weather is getting better and since I don’t smoke anymore

Call me Mister

Yep!! I’m back

I’m happy to announce that I’m officially married

You can find some pictures here, I’ll try to post more when ever I can (time permitting) and a story later on

I’m really sorry to all my friends and relatives because I didn’t advise them earlier, but I’m having telephone problems right now and I can’t call non French numbers

Happy Holidays

After these few weeks, I’m happy to announce that I’m officially on HOLIDAYS!!!! ~yay~

I’m leaving for Tunis on Monday (NOT work related) to meet my family at last . My dad and camelette and her little cockroach are going there for a week, and seeing that it’s only an hour trip away I decided to meet them. (I haven’t seen them in 6 months )

As you can see from the picture (sorry for the quality ) there’s papa camel, camelette and little cockroach. My mom couldn’t make it, I really hope to see her soon

The other good side (100% personal) is that 2 of my colleagues are going to be there too (They are going for work obviously ) and I have a whole week to pester them [Yes!! I'm a bastard inside ] - I’ll have to prepare a check list of the things I’m going to do to them

I’m happy :)

Yes, I’m happy, euphoric even.
Please don’t ask why, everything will reveal it self in time

Err.. No I didn’t take a bath in the wine tub thingy…

Ok, OK!! seeing that you insist, a very small (miniscule) cause is that tomorrow is the 1st of May

And that the only thing that your getting out of me

Back at the head office

It’s a shock

I’m trying to get used to the office environment, it’s not easy after a whole month out of the office.

Last week in Tunis helped me get back slowly to the old hectic everyday rush…
I had forgotten almost all my passwords (I remembered some unfortunately ;)), When I came back to my desk I saw it clean (i.e. no papers, docking station or cables were to be seen) I started a crusade to search for my stuff, it took me 30 minutes (and a lot of questioned colleagues) to discover that I had put everything in the drawer (what an embarrasment :?)

I still need to find my favorite chair!!… Who took it?!

Au Revoir

Goodby family and Friends :’( you’ll be sadly missed.

This vacation was one of the toughest I ever had, only 12 days to manage to visit everyone.
Today officially I’m back to work, I’ll spend 18h travelling, since I’ll be leaving from Milan to Tunis directly, after over 2000km behind my back it’s really hard to go back and restart with the hectic rithym the work has to offer, hell! I need a vacation from my vacation (I doubt if my manager would agree ;))
While I was in KSA, I tried to download work e-mail’s but with the sporadic connection available I didn’t manage to do anything, I really hope that I do not have a lot of catch up to do.

Not as I remembered…

jirukun — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 18:19:54 +0000

18h’s in KSA and I already regret being here
I’ve lost 2h of my time trying to connect to my company’s VPN, I think it’s not allowed via wireless connection (that’s dumb), in a couple of days I’ll try a regular DSL connection and see, I didn’t download my mail in over 9 days, I would imagine that my mailbox has exploded.
The thing I hate the most is taking showers, I have to open the hot water tap to get cold water (the water heater is not connected) if water is available filling the main tank from the secondary takes four to five hours :’(
Tomorrow I’ll buy clothes (thobe, etc…) and take the pictures, hoping that I can renew my passport in time.

Sorry for the rant, I needed to get it out of my system

Peace

P.s. My family is OK (al7amdullilah)
P.p.s. I can’t connect to Gmail

Still in Europe

I would have never thought of saying this but “I’m homesick!” (I think I talked about this in a previous topic)
I ran in a little snag when leaving that posponed my trip for a week (inshaa’ Allah) I lost one week, and I’m still looking for an airline to take me back home.
I’ll try to update when possible.

P.s. I’ll be leaving to Italy on Saturday (finally away from France)
