No Eid For Jeddah

That rain ended up in a disaster. I guess it was more of a punishment than a blessing. People, cars, houses, for God sakes HOSPITALS DROWNED. The situation is so screwed up. And they expect 4 more days of rain & floods. People are asked by the civil defense, not to leave their houses.

KAUH hospital. My hospital. Drowned. The basement floor drowned. No electricity. No nothing. People are dying. I have heard that its been evacuated.

National Guard Hospital, announced code black.

I seriously can't focus my thoughts. If you want to read some more, here & here.

Allah yr7m all the people who have died in this tragedy. My heart goes to their families & to the people in Makkah.

I believe it was a punishment from Allah to some & to show us how really screwed up things are. I hope we wake up before further damage happens & for the people who are responsible to be held accountable.

يا رب ألطف بنا و اعفو عنا أنت أرحم الراحمين

It's raining rain hallelujia. It's a miracle people its raining since before 8am in the morning till now: 12 something pm -at least in my neighborhood. :p

It feels like the afternoon & its still noon. The mood is so gloomy. I feel like the day is over before it even begun. Translation: I don't feel like studying. :P

They also say that Jeddah drowned AGAIN LOL. Wallah 7alah this city nor its people are used to rain & I find it really funny.

Al 7mdullah 3la al rain o inshallah it visits again this year.

The Lost Symbol

Just finished it. And I'm not impressed. Dan Brown is repeating himself and it's getting boring.

The tale have the same pattern as the 2 others. A phone call at the middle of the night, off he goes, involvement with the law, long chase, problems solving, dramatic twists and oh once again he saves the day.

I'm also not very fascinated by the story or the characters. They have no depth. And it's pretty much obvious who is this Malakh villain. Don't worry I won't spoil it for you. But I will give Dan this, even though I knew, I was sick to my stomach when he reviled it. Such a cruel, sick truth.

And another thing, I believe in the presence of Malakh-like people in this world. People with wealth who have & done everything. Who are empty, shallow & bored out of their minds. Who will go seek fulfilment & be blinded by a dark illusion. And will do whatever to achieve that illusion. I like this about Dan. He does some very well studied villains. =]

Oh and Dan, the Bible wasn't rewritten by humans to hide the precious information it held from the unenlightened people.

Now, what to read next? Act Like A lady Think Like A Man? Or The Kite Runner? Or maybe I should really start studying. :/

Best Compliment

Lucky you, I'm in the mood to blabber. XD

The best compliment I ever had was from Dr. Roaa Jamjom. It was at the end of a PBL session (Problem based learning, 10 girls, a doc, a hypothetical case & we try to diagnose & treat the hypothetical patient). Anyway, at the end the doc must evaluate our performances. So she was telling every girl about what she did good & what she must work on for the next time. Then it was my turn. She looked at me & smiled, then said " CoOkie you are Christina Yang from Grey's Anatomy. Do you know her? And I say that in the best possible way. Cuz I love her, but some people don't".

Me: "That's the nicest thing someone ever said to me! THANK YOU".
I loved Dr. Roaa before & I loved her even more after. Cuz I'm really a lot like Christina & I love her.

I don't know if you have seen the new guy from Mercy West. But he's supper cute. Blue eyes, olivey complection, charming smile & tall. Super cute. And this super cute doc likes my beloved Christina, but she's blowing him off cuz she loves Hunt. Yeah I know eww.

Yeah we loved that first forced kiss & thought it was awesome. But now after all the drama of his tortured soul, it's getting disgusting. And besides his kisses are repulsive. He moves too much.

Anyway, since I'm Christina too. I must have a say in this madness. Dump Hunt, so he can go to that new doc he loves and you take that super cute doc. Problem solved & everyone is happy. People I should be a writer on that show. :P

Anyway what was the best compliment you ever received?

Randomness

*Shows Review*

A Start with quoting James Frey & an end with an amazing performance from Lady Gaga, are a guarantee that this GG episode rocked.

Doesn't the dress looks like its made by a lame ass Middle-Eastern designer?

And about that stupid threesome -a9lan who would want to have a twosome with that Dan, let alone a threesome- V looked way more hotter than stupid Hillary.

S is a bitch. "That line got all blurry" fi 3eenik. He's still a married congressman. If you don't care about his marriage, care about his fucking career. But LOVE the outfit. :P

House MD is getting boring & Grey's Anatomy is getting so much better.

*Uni Crap*

Sat: I had a case presentation which went well al 7mdullah. =]

I didn't know who was the doc who's gonna be evaluating me until minutes after the presentation. And to my shock he was the dude in the H1N1 flu add in the hospital. My face turned to WTF? And my friends died from laughing at me. :P

Mon: We celebrated S's 2 months & 4 days belated birthday- she was counting LOL.

Wed: I LOVE orthopedics. For 2 reasons:

1. My uncle.


2. They are the sweetest most organized, systematic, simple, considerate surgeons in the world.

And for the other surgeons, you really need to be given sexual harassment seminars. Sweet talking is one thing but NO TOUCHING!

HAJJ BREAK IS ON. XD

One Bad Day!

I woke up early. Got dressed. Checked my FB account & saw who's my date for today- in the FB application. Got Bradley Cooper for the 2nd time. Thought to myself it's gonna be a wonderful day. Minutes later, I was proved otherwise.

I got a PING on my BBm, then a message telling me where is the class held. I was surprised to get it so early from my friend who shows up minutes before every session. So I BBmed her back "Doesn't the session starts at 10?"

S: "No, it starts now. Didn't you check your messages last night".

Me check again and OMG it starts at 9. I'm screwed. I'm gonna be at least half an hour late. So S talks for the doc for me, telling him I'm gonna be late. He says it's gonna be OK, but I shouldn't say al slam alikom when I come in. Me BBmed S back: "Why shouldn't I say al slam alikom :S"

S: "So you don't disturb him ya mo5"
Seriously? M3 nfso.

I was really freaking out cuz I was late. I HATE being late. I try to tell myself enter with a charming smile & everything will be alright.

I couldn't smile. And he was asking the girls one by one about everything!

I freaked out even more. I didn't read anything about this session. I'm gonna be the dumb girl who showed up late. T_T.

He asks me. A faint of a smile crosses my lips & I say sweetly " I don't know". He ignores me & moves on. Then again, it's my turn. I couldn't even carry myself to smile and again "I don't know". Then again, I don't bother speaking English "ma a3rif". Again, I don't bother making eye contact with him "ma a3rif". And again and again and again. I got really irritated, I hate feeling stupid. I even said ma a3rif to a couple of things that I actually knew, just to pass the time. Al 7mdullah I wasn't the only one LOL. He lost hope on 3 of the girls and stopped asking them. He told Z "some girls just don;t care enough to read". I kept praying he loses interest in me PLEASE GOD LET HIM LOSE HOPE, can't he see I'm a complete idiot, I will never get something right.

But then the unexpected happened and I actually bothered & answered & it was freaking right. It was a silly question but whatever. Then he asked me a difficult one & OMG the dumb girl got it right again. I could see his pupils dilate. He was freaking staring at me from surprise LOL.

Finally the session ended, and it was time for him to sign the attending sheet. I didn't sign cuz I didn't get the chance since I was late. And let me tell you this my only comfort was that he doesn't know my name. But then he asked "all of you are here?" and our leader said "Yes, except CoOkie didn't get to sign" & she pointed at me. He stares & my name then at me. Oh God no. Now dumb dumb has a name. T_T

Then my day didn't get any better. I heard a bad story then a bad news, that really shook me & made me sick to my stomach. Hope the night is better. I must study for tomorrow's sessions. Don't wanna be Miss Dumb-Dumb again.

P.S: thanks to my friend Fadiosis for the new header. You made my night XOXO.

Food & Blogs The Ultimate Combo

I'm in such a blessed state of joy al 7mdullah. I just watched Julie & Julia and it just made me mellow down in to my soul.

I am completely & utterly in love with this movie. I mean whats there not to love? Food? Love. books & writing? Love. Blogs? Love. Sweet romance? Love. Meryl Streep? LOVE!



Mryel was such a delight. So funny & dramatic. Loved her performance to bits & pieces. And she & her husband were so cute together. I loved them. And when he said " Julia your the butter to my bread & the breath to my life" I was speechless. Isn't that the most romantic thing ever? ♥

On the other hand I seriously disliked this Julie person. And I don't think Amy Adam was a good match, she's far too cute & nice to play her. Why did I dislike her? Well I have read that she has mentioned in her 2nd book that she cheated on her husband while she was doing the Julie & Julia thing. If he is as half as sweet & considerate as in the movie, how could she?

What else? Oh the food was awesome. I'm so in the mood to cook. Oh scratch that I mean EAT! You know its one of my dreams to go to France & learn how to cook professionally. =]
I also want to go to Europe. Eat & shop my way through it. I've only been to 3 European countries. I so badly want to visit the rest. Now preferably. =]

Anyway, I have to go to bed ASAP. I have a very early, busy morning tomorrow. And I'm very out of the ordinary scared. I hope I do well. I'll bore you & tell you all about it later. For now wish me luck & Bon appetit. =]

Gossip

Today I'm in the mood for gossiping. The juicy kind: guys. :P

1. We stalked & searched until finally, we knew what is that resident's name. I also got his beeper number. You know just in case we want to page him for nothing & make him suffer too. =]

How did I found out his name? That's another story. My friend added me to a BlackBerry messenger medical group. One of the guys was a resident. So I had to ask.

Me: Hey doc, do you know all the urology residents?

Him: yes. Why?

I gave him a summary for that long story.

He laughing so hard & asking me to describe the guy.

Me: He's not white wla asmar, medium height, 7ali8 3la al wa7id & kinda of 3ree9'.

Him: I know someone who looks like this bs he's white.

Me-thinking: He's Saudi white bs not real white. My friend advised me not to say that LOL.

Me: Ok. He's white.

Him: yeah I know him.

Me: 6yeb whats his name?

Him: wallah he's very nice & kind bs maybe he was bored that day o6l3o fikom.

Me: yeah whats his name?

Him: -

Me: wallah I don't hate him. Just give me his name. I want to know.

He gave me the name XD

Me: Thanks a lot doc.

Now I'm sure he went & told him about this conversation. And now he thinks 7ajah tanyah LOL.

M3 nfso. We are just marrah mla8eef.

2. There is this asshole, fuck head intern who thinks we like him & let me tell ye he's butt ugly & looks like a silly gay boy.

The ass added my friend S on the BBm. He took her PIN from that medical group.

He doesn't talk so she deleted him.

We were in some patients room, with a patient. He was with another patient. His patient was a little boy that my friend Z likes. So she waved at the little boy. The ass thought the wave was for him. Then S said this is the intern who added me & I deleted him. I think he heard her & thought 7ajah tanyah. The fuck head ever since started acting weird around us. Stupid weird, like-I'm-ignoring-you-cuz-you-might-rape-me-or-something. Seriously what the fuck? I really want to kick his sissy ass. waja3.

3- I saw a guy who at first I thought he looks like Ahmed Dawood from Star Academy. Whom I very much loved LOL. But then I googled Ahmed & that guy looks even more gorgeous LOL.

5sarah he wasn't wearing a lab coat or scrubs. Bs he was walking with a guy who did. So maybe? :P :p

Got any boy gossip? Please do share. =]

I Miss You Toto

*Ding dong* History class time.

First of all you must know I'm half Uyghur. 2nd of all, Azerbaijani, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Turkish people, Turkmen, Uyghur and Uzbeks, are all basically the same Turkish race that just got separated cuz of wars with the Chinese & Russians. Today, some got their independence and some sadly didn't.

For alot of the Turks who escaped the war to different parts of the world, Turkey is the home away from home. And the Turkish people are so welcoming to them cuz I don't know but maybe they consider them royalty cuz their ancestors are the Othmani emperors.

Why am I telling you this? Cuz I'm an Istanbul-holic & I want people to get off of my back when I talk about my beloved eternal city. It's ridiculous how people never noticed that I unstoppably incorporate Istanbul in every conversation except after the popularity of the Turkish soap operas.

Anyway I miss Istanbul so freaking much. It hurts. =[

I miss my cousins. Even though I consider them a major pain in the ass when I am there. I miss walking around & shopping and just breathing its lovely air. I miss the see & the fairy boats. I miss dondurmas, döners & baklawas.

Hehe funny thing, I was watching Asi and she was going to Istanbul for business. So her dad showed her a picture of him, her 7 months pregnant mom & her older sister in Istanbul. He asked her to go to the same place & take a picture. Whats so funny? Well, my mom & her mom have pictures in Istanbul before she got married. And then 21 years ago she went with my dad and took pictures at the same places & she was 7 months pregnant with me. 2 years ago we went to the same places & took pictures. LOL coincidence? I think not. :P

Anyway I've turned to a big slacker lately & I just don't fucking care. I need a brake NOW! Al7mdullah al Hajj vacation is in a week yay. But I must study cuz I have my midterms after. =[

LOL I'm being an ass too, picking on some people & making them hate me. It's not like they are innocent or anything. Actually they are big asses but I wont let it slide anymore & I will put a magnifier to every fucking mistake. So be afraid. Be very afraid. :P
