my future ..!

I got rejected from babson..!
yes, they did not want me to be part of the upcoming freshman year, for some reason :P.
anyways, i am kind of thankful because i had a change of heart today. I asked myself, do I really want to be into business for the rest of my life, is this what i WANT? Well this is definitely the safest bet for me, but i had something else i now have something else in mind.

visit the (dream job) website to know what i see myself doing. For a while now, i have been fancying a life in the sea, which is something i can really grow into.

back to the land of cheese



Unfortunately, I'm back here in switzerland for another 2 months. That depresses me quite a lot because at this point in my life, having spent the 3rd consecutive year away from home, I'm beginning to get extremely homesick. I don't enjoy being in kuwait for long, however as long as i have y friends and family next to e, to be able to follow how many new cousins i have if any. This trip back home i just had, i met 5 cousins that i didn't know existed (babies). I'm missing on a lot, and that alone is a great contributer to feeling down. even my sister' s husband, i have only met 4-5 times, and she is y only sister, i would have wanted to be a part of the family in each step. At least i went back for two days for the wedding. 
during this trip, i didn't do much but hang out with my friends in kuwait and took the boat out twice (no fish) however i flew to my house in amman, jordan for two days, (lots of memories there during the summer). i later went to beirut, lebanon for a week with a huge group that decided they wanted to join within days of travel. New year's there was great, got to spend time with my old pal which got expelled from Rosey, amir is his name. And last but not least i went to dubai a day before i arrived to Switzerland simply because i did not get to see my father for that long. 
What i need to do for this term. well, its the last official term, so i need to edit all my pieces of work, coursework/extended essay/notes, and so on. However it is an extremely difficult thing to do especially since its an average of -7 outside. very depressing weather in other words. 
hey, at least i get to snowboard everyday for two months, yaaay (sarcasm). 
nonetheless, heres a picture of the view out of my window:

im home again

i just got back home early today morning .. and .. IM  HAP P Y ... to a certain extent ..
Babson is going to send me a reply on the 31st, and that makes me depressed, because it would be messed up if i got rejected on new year's eve. It would be something i have to remember, but i dont want to. However, i don't want to be pessimistic about the matter. My grades for the past term ( the most difficult yet, by a landslide ) are going to be posted on Wednesday, two days :S. hopefully all will turn out good, and life will be as good as ever.

This is new..  
i cannot take not driving anymore, i need speed, and the freedom that comes along with a driving permit, (NO DRIVER). 5 more months till i'm 18.

for the moment, all i know is that the weather looks like it will be ok tomorrow (knock on wood), im going to get my mind off of everything, have a blast with the guys on the boat, fishing and maybe wakeboarding if i want to risk freezing my B/-\ /_ /_ Z off. till the next time blog :D.

2nd week into body building

Not long ago, i got off of my not-much-food diet. I had lost around 15 kilos over the duration of the summer, and before i knew it, i went from chubby to skinny. Many people convinced me that with my hight 6'1 feet, it looks quite anorexic. However, i had a plan, i wanted to loose the fat, then build muscle. I started taking NO-XPLODE creatine, and soon going to start taking whey protein. The thing is, being at a boarding school, the selection of foods is not great. Nonetheless, i did start eating quite a lot about a week ago since I'm planning to build muscle. a week ago exactly i started the creatine, and let me tell you people, its magic. It helps you increase you reps, and weight, and energy by the first try. I do however need a sustained source of protein and carbs, whey protein. I am going to start going on it soon, however i am going to go back to doing cardio so i don't gain fat. my weight went from 77 kilos to 80 in a week, partially because of water retention. get back to me in a month to see the change between the willz before the summer and the present willz at the time. :-D

red cross headquarters


I went to the red cross headquarters in geneva today. It wasn't because im a stranger to the country, but a school field trip :P. It is a serious eye opener on many issues in the world. stupid me, i forgot to take my camera. Nonetheless, there were two things that caught my attention. As soon as you go into the museum, the passage changes into two concrete walls on your right and left hand side to about 12 meters high, and with a distance of 4 meters between them. The walls are supposed to resemble the walls put up around the world between countries (israel and palestine) as an example. After you pass that passage, you are welcomed by the sculptures (above). its of real life size figures of men with their faces wrapped (resembling the fact that they cannot see or act), and their hands tied behind their backs. The whole courtyard is glass so you can see the crescent and the cross along with those figures. The second thing that shocked me was a room built out of concrete bricks, about 3x2 meters, that once held 17 men captive, some for as long as 3 months. honestly take a second and thank whoever you believe in for how good you live, no matter how bad you think it is.

Beirut for new year's

I've booked and planned my trip to beirut for the new year's (christmas break). I'm going with a couple of friends, looking forward, however i am slightly worried about the planning. The way i see it, if i don't plan something myself, it wont go good. If you happen to be a local, please share some ideas, even if you're not but have been there several times.

anyone got 121,904.40KD to spare?


This untamable beast (BRABUS BULLIT based on mercedes c-class) runs for a little more than 120k KD. It has a similar engine to (my dream car) the C63, however with a biturbo kit. it generates 720HP, gets to a 100km/h in 3.9 seconds, and is capable of reaching speeds over 360km/h. i am completely awed to be honest, with a tiny crack in my heart (heartbroken). however even if i had the money, it is a little toooo expensive, lets face it. However just take a look at the re-styling from the inside. MY GOD

back in switzerland

i got back from kuwait two days ago, and its feeling like its been ages. I was the one to decide i wanted to go to a boarding school in switzerland, specifically this one since i have been to the summer camp. The first year was a blast, i don't remember a thing from it. The second year was slightly tiring. However my third, last, and senior year is proving to be a workload. i just completed my applications to the US universities, and for Babson and Bentley, all what matters is the grading period that just passed (which i did relatively good in). Should i completely stop working, should i consider this grading period the last, or should i go on trying in case i did not get accepted to neither of those and need regular acceptance. Im not sure, however im quite sure that im tired of missing my friends, family, and life back in kuwait. Im sick of working my ass off, although the time is infact going by quick. I already miss the people though, and just for the record, i only took my boat out once that week, and did not eat texas fries, which i am paying for at the moment with my hungry belly :D. 
miss you guys..!

super camera

biodegradable usb stick?

what's happening to the world's inventors? running out of ideas? 
"It's far from the first company to attempt to make a more environmentally-friendly flash drive, but given the near disposable nature of them these days, that's not exactly a bad thing. This latest drive from Hong Kong-based Hoshino also takes a decidedly different approach than other drivesthat simply keep the hazardous chemicals and whatnot to a minimum, with it actually constructed out of polylactide (or PLA) made from corn that is, technically, biodegradable. The downside is that in order for it to be broken down, PLA needs to be blasted with heat for ten days on end at a specialized facility, which isn't exactly the most direct route back into the ground, or an accessible option for everybody at the moment (there's also the small matter of it being based on a food product). The drive also apparently isn't available to the general public just yet, but companies interested in doing business with Hoshino can contact 'em for more details."

my new crib

Im in the process of designing everything in my room from the interior to the electronics going into it. so i figure what better way to keep track than writing about on my blog. I'm going to design everything using the floor plans which i will have as soon as i get back home. also, i will be using a freeware program called sweet home 3D. 
first step, the screens ! 
i think the best size for my room would be a 50-52 inch, positioned slightly low to the ground to give its value you see. 
LC-52D64U (sharp)---- the good thing about this screen is that its one of the thinnest if not the very thinnest      
PDP-LX508D (panasonic)---- however, this screen, has won multiple awards from several magazines so..!


ALSO

i want the NU WTW154 wireless TV, to put in my shower! 

GOOD IDEA EH ?:P 
until the next time, where i will complete the floor plans, and get to the surround system/speakers and the rest of the entertainment
