[craving: Grafitti 101]
I'm finally doing it..

One of my favorite kinds of art.. GRAFITTI.. *flying hearts*.. I found a perfect spot in the house to practice on.. got every single color of spray can.. looked through many grafitti books for inspiration.. (Thaaanx Mimo btw!).. wore those blue rubber gloves & spraa~aayed..
aaand I was disappointed.. (><") It's not as easy as it seems.. Apparently there is more to just holding the spray can & spraying.. some sort of tools, markers and brushes.. (X_x) I will need to do more research & go through more attempts to get it right.. I even joined a graffiti-freaks forum for some tutorials & lessons! Haha..oh well.. we'll see how things go.. If there are any experts out there.. please spare me a tip or two.. *sprays you a heart* ;)

For those who were wondering.. yes I went off to Canada & Amsterdam for the summer.. & yes I enjoyed it.. & yes I will tell you more (& share with you pictures) in my coming posts.. I can't promise soon but hopefully when I'm done sorting out the 1000s of pics I took!

On the brighter side.. my walk-in closet is 80% done!! =D *woo-hoo*.. final stages to be finished.. then I will be able to *breeeathe* more in my room with the extra space!
Until my next update...

It's funny that while I was in holiday & trying not to think about anything work-related, I end up watching movies that reminds me of work all over again.. If you are a workaholic like myself, then I highly recommend The Devil Wears Prada & Click movies.. (I'm not sure if they were released in the UAE or not).. Although they have two different stories, but both movies revolve around the same theme: Workaholic-ness..! *lol*
When your brain is programmed to think work, work, work for the first 10 hours of your day.. it is kind of difficult to let go for the rest of the day.. (>_<") *sad, yet true*.. and sometimes we find ourselves forgetting others (& our own self) because we are so career-involved..
I guess what I realized is: Never take your life for granted; It will not be the end of the world if you miss a thing or two at work at times to go catch up with family or help out a friend..

I shall not suffer alone..

A rich chocolate brownie drizzled with pure chocolate from Godiva.. Now if you're gonna cheat, you gotta do it right!

Warm, freshly baked, chewy chocolate chip cookies.. Can you even resist the smell?!

Tiny pancakes *jussst* out of the pan, smoothered in hot chocolate sauce & the softest vanilla ice-cream.. Once you take the first forkfull, you will forget about sharing!!

Now this must be adventurous, but candy-covered popcorn is so much fun! Mai.. I remembered you.. *hugz*

If you visit Paramount Park, you *mussst* try their famous "Cookie Sandwich": 2 huge chewy chocolate chip cookies, with soft vanilla ice-cream in between and lots of chocolate chips!.. Although too yummy, but can be VERY messy & very filling you won't be able to finish it!

Round chocolates with different fillings made infront of your eyes.. *slurrrp*

For a healthier option, soft vanilla ice-cream crushed with mixed berries, mango and pineapple.. Slurrrptastic!!

Home-made ice-cream made from pure Belgian chocolates that tastes nothing like regular chocolate ice-cream!! To put it simply: Its real chocolate on a cone.. you will find this irresistable!!

An incentive to eat an apple.. just smother it in delicious caramel!! Oh I'm so craving the Chocolate Factory caramel apples!!

Tim Horton's fresh chocolate doughnuts.. for a take-away sweet tooth craving..
..& by you shall also suffer from the sweet-tooth craving too! *mwahahaha*
[Final whisper: I dare you not to crave anything!]

It's true..

..Media outside the Arab world does not justify the facts of whats really happening.. I know we heard this before.. & sometimes thought it might be a little exaggerated.. but its true.. They don't show the whole picture out there..
I witnessed it personally while I was away.. when we first heard of the Isreali attacks on Lebanon.. it just seemed like a mini conflict that is going on at the beginning.. & probably will end in a few days.. with the least focus on any casualities or damages (especially in the Arab side).. Then when it got serious.. all the news showed was the American & Canadian families arriving home safely & moments of "emotional" family reunions in the airports.. Interviews with Isreali "victims" who "neeeearly" got hit by the bombs but missed them.. & the drama of the "what if" it happened to them.. & how they would have suffered..
When I got here, it was a complete different perspective.. You cannot help not get a rush of goosebumps & an overwhelming feeling of absolute anger, sadness & rage as soon as you see those endless bodies of innocent lives (especially babies), families torn apart & lost everything.. e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.. not knowing if they would live to see another day.. Shocking pictures on daily news.. horrible scenes on TV.. People demonstrating against it all over the world..
All we got to do right now is just pray everyday for the best.. & for all Isrealis to stop their public murder.. Allah ynteqem mnhom oo yn9er elmoslmeen..

[Final whisper: S the accounting whiz: I hope you & your family are safe out there.. *hugs*]

I am finally back! *woo-hoOo* & yes.. I have been sick of seeing that same blog entry everytime I check my own website.. so yeah.. I feel you.. I should have updated.. but I didn't.. coz I promised myself a R-E-A-L holiday from everything.. (including blogging) (><")

I didn't realise I missed home so much until I spotted the tiny orange lights dotting the black blanket of the Abu Dhabi's night outside the airplane window as we were landing.. It felt as if I left since forever, its been some time since I took a "looong" holiday.. usually I am used to the 10 days - 2 weeks break.. (even though some people *nudge nudge* felt my break was too short!).. It is soOo great to be home! *hugs the walls*

If it wasn't for anything else.. one of the many reasons people MUST travel out of the country (even if it was out of the city) for a holiday.. is that added bonus of feeling so excited to be back home by the end of the trip.. that overwhelming feeling of comfort & relief to be able to finally rest in your own room in the coziness of your own bed.. *siiigh*

& before I go.. endless vibes of green envy going to Samsoomah & Pink Sushi for the FUN-tastic times they will be spending in London together.. *squeezes you both till you pop* I already MISS YA! (See.. I dared to post it in public.. so HA @ PinkSushi!) =P
[Final whisper: MimoOoOoo.. happy super belated birthday!! (& yes I had to mention it even if it was after a gazillion years!) *hugz*]
