Election fever!!

Hungry but determined to babble, that best describes me right now. Im working on shift now from 6am to 2pm, so i get to go home early and do lots of things, like for example, watch how McLaren trounce Ferrari at the Monaco GP just now. Haha. Eat my shorts dearest Ferrari fans!

Of course still i would love to see Louis Hamilton take his first win. Oh well, it's just a matter of time.

It's election fever now and today is election day in Syria and you can well, see the face of the Syrian President on every nook and corner of this country. Haven't look in the sewers though. I'm sure i might find a poster of him in there as well. It's just crazy the level of fanaticism shown by the people of Syria towards their President. Something which i admire and also find disturbing, kinda like the ulcers in my mouth now. Kinda freakish seeing him look at you every other place you go. Even in the control room which i am working in now. If only one of those lovely Syrian chicks ran for President..hehe









(Mr. President: Watching you closely)










Okie dokie..i'm off to cook something for dinner now. Even though i kinda lost inspiration on the pots and pans. Any suggestions on what to cook?
Write more later hopefully when my belly is filled!

yeay..new apartment!!

hey ppl!!!!







(Damascus Old City: selectively stoning its occupants)









finally i could access my blog properly...i just moved today to a new apartment...that means now i have a kitchen at my disposal..yeay! and for the opening ceremony just now..i made some spaghetti and it was really nice after having to survive with bread and luncheon meat for more than 2 weeks..

and the cannot access blog thingy...i guess the hotel's network was on some government controlled adsl connection..going through some blogs..i found out that the internet connection here in syria is heavily controlled and there is a lot of sites that one cannot access...for example the rantings of a cocker buller about things that doesn't matter in life..

work have been progressing really slow here in syria and for that..the initial projection of 4 mths for this project might take longer than expected...oh well..only time can tell...and oh...so can my commissioning manager actually..hehe..








(Coffee: makes you see things differently)
















going through the lonely planet book for syria..i realized that there is actually a lot of things to see here in syria..lotsa travelling to do then..hehe...okie dokie loyal cocker bullers...catch ya later!!
