Plz give ur thoughts .....

i just read Zena's blog, the one about 'happiness' .. this got me thinking about something else.. i was told that i put my happiness in the hands of others.. for example, if someone dear to me started acting a bit 'isolated'.. i would jump to the conclusion that maybe i did something wrong, maybe there is something seriously wrong with them,, and that would ruin the rest of the day for me.. it would completely consume my thoughts and leave me in no mood to do anything else.. this does get tiering at a certain point.. sometimes i just wish i could care less what people were feeling if they didn't just come out and say it.. i just worry too much.. but i guess that's the way i'm built..

to anyone who is reading this blog, what do u base ur happiness on? do u have a t-shirt u wear that makes u happy? or maybe its a picture u look at, or a song u sing that makes u happy? what circumstances to do u have to be in in order for u to be content? or are u a worry-free happy person naturally?? ooh i wish it were that easy...

Its been a while

Hey all!!

i just wanted to give you a heads up...This blog contains no useful information whatsoever..go figure

I havent posted in a while...and while so much has happened,I just cant seem to get my words into place..

Soon, the 30th hopefully, we're having a BBQ at Raphael's...because he has the huge terrace...
ALSO...shhhh!!!we're throwing Soho a surprise BDAY Bash during the BBQ...

Dad is here (YAY!)...transiting for a week in between his business trips,
Braichee (my wee brother) is coming to visit from Geneve..I cant wait...

And inshallah we have a few things planned before we leave to Beirut on the First... The most amazing SPA at the Mandarin!!we deserve it after endless nights in the library...
Also a major shopping spree (sorry girls i've started without u!)
and a dinner at "dans le noir" the restaurant is pitch dark...the point of it is to live in the shoes of the blind...that should be an experience!!! and LAST BUT NOT LEAST my last round of Karaoke!!!!wooohoooo..

Alll in all my summmer seems to be going well....very smooth, very relaxing and filled with chocolate eclairs from Aubaine...

The spirit of SOAS

Hello everyone and a good evening to you!

Well I just wanted to speed blog about my lovely UNI..


We are all stressed with exam time and time and stuff...but seriously nothing beats the spirit here at SOAS..
As most of you dont know, the library (for the first time ever) is operating 24 hours..

To begin with our library announcement is the thing to look forward to everyday..As soon as we hear the pre-announcement tone at the library we drop our pens to listen where you are most likely to fall out of your chair..As the announcer seems to have been a comedian in his past life...seriously!I can try and tell you how but you have to be hear to really appreciate it..

If you decide to leave for a break ..and step outside to the main building steps you are most likely to find a BOOM BOX belting out tunes like "Keep on searching..keep on searching for LOOOVE!!"..you really can't help but join in with all the dancing and moonwalking..you just have to put your hands in the air and scream "keep on searching"!

You might be fooled if you come in during the day because we have a preacher on site..heavy political discussions and random exam discussions going on..

The students are well behaved during the day and just go wild at night!

Enjoy,
COOK

May Day


A lovely evening to you all..a horrible day for me..

I awoke at 11 am this morning thinking to myself I will head to the library and study..Lil' Fairy awoke and told me she was coming with me..after trying to alter the available track pants arrayed colourfully by me on the bed, she settled for the one that doesnt fall off as soon as she tries to walk, but at the one that hangs lowly , confusing some as to whether there really is a being under there..!!

We head out at around 12:10 and we decide no time for breakfast..it will be lunch and dinner tonight..so we settle on "the ultimate burger"..on our way there we were kindly approached by a british red cross worker from 6an6a Eygpt/England..yes really..he asked me .."You know the Red Cross?" ..I politely replied "yes"..asking lil' fairy the question she replies "No!"..it was the stress...after giving him a kind donation and promising to give more when all these years of hard work pays off, he lets us free and waves good bye while chanting a few Egyptian words he has learnt..

After a pleasant meal at the UB we decided to head to the most relevant bus stop to our destination..(a ten minute walk to the library)..we wait and wait ..Raph calls us and tells us he has saved us two seats on the FOURTH FLOOR..I repeat THE FOURTH FLOOR...Haaaaaaaaalllelllujah....Hallelujah Hallellujah!!!
We tell him we will be there very soon..So Lil'fairy grows impatient and says maybe its better we get a cab since the bus has decided to be 20 minutes late...Little did we know what was in store for us...

The cab driver informes us because of the MayDay demonstrations blocking Kingsway (our destination) he will have to reroute..we say yes yes!!I wish I had never said "yes yes!"I wish I said its ok...we will just walk..it will only take 7 minutes...but we didnt we just started talking about how much stress we were under...

At least half an hour, a few bumps in our heads and a very frustrated driver later he decided to drop us off at Barbican tube station ( located in EC1 AND We were heading to WC2 initially). He told us Holborn isnt far away and that we will be there in no time...ok thats great....but wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BarbicanSTATION IS CLOSED!!!

I had to think quick...we needed to go anywhere that had the central line so we stop another taxi and ask him too head to Oxford circus..He thought our hair was all over the place because we were excited about going shopping I guess..coz before we got off he chanted
"Oxford Circus! left here and goes on to the right...have a good daaay!"....

15 minutes later we were at the library..Perfect..right?WRONG!!!!
Our seats were taken..yes..if a seat is unoccupied , apparently they can move the books that are in front of it and just decide to take over...!!the one seat I found was next to a law student doing family law..she KINDLY gave me 1/4 of the table and took the rest!!!all the 260+ (still counting) computers were also occupied...

So I decided to head back home and just stay there...when Raph ' the life saver' calls to tell us he found us seats on THE FOURTH FLOOR...Haaaalllellujah!!

20 minutes later we are sitting on the 4th floor...

Have a good day as they say!
COOK
