Progress

ARGH!!! 3 weeks and counting! Oh crap, I am leaving too soon and am so unorganised.

This seemed like such a good idea when I decided to go, now I've got the wobbles. It'll be fine and I know I will enjoy myself where I end up but I am going to miss my friends so much.

There are going to be many meltdown moments in the next few weeks. I sold my car the other day and it was really upsetting.

Unresolved issues are driving me crazy!!!
Help!!

Elegantly Wasted!

Well, what a week.

High points:
1. ANZAC ball - boogying, posh frocks, eye candy everywhere, balloon balancing and fun!
2. Friends coming over on Tuesday evening
3. Excitement at mad sandstorm

Low points:
1. The man reasserting his D@%ckwad nature. I mean WTF, how confusing can one person be and do they not realise the head f&ck they create!!
2. The hangover I will have bukra!

So in one week the man (fickle Kuwaiti) has gone from "your so good" , "Kuwait will be worse off without you" to not even returning my texts. I have a feeling a scrawny blonde may be involved and quite frankly the fact that it may have been lauded over me by both of them may actually makes me feel physically sick. I turned up to a gathering at his on Sunday eve (at his invitation I may add) and a comment was made by her infront of me that implied something had gone on that afternoon - she's been one of his floozies in the past. I am very naive and thick and didn't cotton on about what was implied until the next day- GIT!!
However, he invited me over and was very touchy feelly with me (new but usual development over the past 3 months, even infront of his mates) when she'd left. WTF?????

Please guys can someone explain what the hell goes on in men's heads cos I firmly don;t understand how one minute you can be very keen then the next be an ignorant git!
ARGH!!!
Right excuse spelling as I am a little fragile tonight!!

The Youth of Today!

Well, I may now sound like an old fuddy duddy but quite frankly I was brought up to believe that respectful polite behavior in public is imperative and I thought the children of Kuwait were too.

This is not a racist rant, merely a statement of my recent observations.

I have had a week of it and over the past few months have been repeatedly disappointed by the behaviour of young Kuwaiti men. I am shocked and stunned at the way that some of these lads behave in public. I have always found Kuwaitis to be polite, respectful and above all concerned about how they are viewed in public but with some young men this appears to have fallen by the wayside. Some of these boys think they are completely unaccountable for anything they do- with some it's definitely a case of much more money than sense.

I am really worried if this is the future of Kuwait.

Apathetic bloggers!!

Oh my god, My name is Pinky, I am a blogaholic but cannot believe it has been 31 days since my last blog.
I always said I wouldn't be one of these people who start a blog then lose momentum but dammit I have been sooooo busy it is ridiculous!

OK, quick update on Pinky;

1. Got new job heading to SE Asia for a promotion
2. Re-discovered the man (I know, not a good plan but a bad habit I can maintain for a little longer- feel free to say I told you so when I'm spilling my emotional guts out in about 7 weeks)
3. Really excited about leaving but getting emotional cos I'm not good at change
4.Madly still learning Arabic even though leaving the Arab world in June
5. Have new obsession with "Brothers and Sisters"
6. Have become a gadget crazy woman- want network storage for a Mac that doesn't cost 370KD, can anyone help??

What to do????????

I hate Dubai Airport!!!!

Well, I think my title says it all. I have flown through Dubai twice in the past week and I hate it!!! First they put you at a stand miles away from the terminal then you sit on a bus for what seems like 10 years whilst some inane voice appologises for the inconvenience that emirates is bloody causing you. Then there is the usual crush at transit, not enough x-ray machines / far too many people, Fight your way past the still (even though duty free) overpriced shopping hell to the furthest possible gate to get on a plane to Q8! Where the stupid ground staff will fob you off with anything to shut you up and get you into their overheated cramped check in lounge!

The big 100!!

Well, I never thought I'd make it. 100 posts on my little blog!
All very exciting!!
It's been so busy recently.
I've forgotten what free time and weekends are, my dog can't remember what I look like and I have regressed again back to the man, but hey he has firmly been told that it's on my terms at the moment and anyway I'm off in 3 months!!!!
Still not got a job but something will happen soon I hope!!
Right, off back to work again!

Drowning, not waving!

I am so busy at the moment. I have not stopped since I returned from my holiday and definitely am drowning under all the work and job applications. It's too hard. Is anyone else feeling that they have no life at all and that every waking moment revolves around their job??
AARRGGHH!!
Also, things didn't go so well with the man so I very maturely and grownup style told him it was over yesterday. Not angry, not miffed at all it's just another of those things that I'll chalk up to experience and realise it wasn't meant to be!
What can you do?
So the hunt for jobs as well as a nice man is on!
Take care all, I hope things are less hectic for you!
