5 Things You Dont Know About Me

I’ve been tagged by and life goes on… I know it’s a bit late (actually no TOO late) but I’ve been so busy at work that I didn’t have time to even think of those 5 things…
Anyways.. here were go…

1) I love taking pictures of myself.. I just have to take my camera with me anywhere I go… I jump to any group of people taking a picture to include me with them… and btw… im photogenic too :)

2) Im a very lazy person… when im sitting in the sitting room and want to tell my sister (who’s in the bedroom) something… I’d rather call her on the cellphone than getting up and moving to where she is!

3) I love singing… though all the people around me say my voice is ugly!! But I just love to sing.. I remember once I was singing at a karaoke night… and the DJ (il7akeer) just turned off the mic… seems my voice was really bad!!!

4) Im a messy person.. if I didn’t share my bedroom with my sister… I would have been choosing my clothes from the chair in the corner of my room rather than from the closet!!

5) I rarely cry in front of people… and if I did… this means im really hurt… so be cautious people ;)

Old Songs

Each old song I listen to reminds me of something… either a person or an event… my mind just links it to the past… filled with a specific picture… that either makes me smile or depressed… but most of the time depressed… not because the event is depressing… but because I miss the days it reminds me of…

Goodbye My lover - James Blunt… reminds me of so many things… my favorite to listen to whenever im depressed

Mayyal – Amr Diab… Karioke Night at champions with damdoom and amroush!!

Being an Auditor

Those two weeks have been so hectic… work and work and work… nothing more actually...
Since I'm an auditor… our work season starts now… we have to audit 2006’s financial statements for banks, telecommunication companies, insurance companies… etc…
Well actually I'm not annoyed about working under so much pressure… I have no problem with leaving each day (including weekends) at 9 pm and having no social life (since this is temporary!) but what I have a problem with… is that after all what u do… u don’t get enough appreciation… I work so hard… I put so much effort… I try my best in all areas and aspects… and when I ask my supervisor to revise my work… he’ll just say: tayeb… why do u make such a big deal out of it…
Ok fine… no problem with me.. I will not make any big deal out of it… but when the manager calls me later on… and wants me to close some review notes… when I'm already assigned to another job…what am I supposed to do?? from where am I supposed to get time… I don’t know do they think we are robots or what!!!
And what makes it even worse… is when u get welcomed by a client by saying: “m3 i7tirami il shaded ilik… bas hay awal marra btiji modagiga tdageg 3alay”… SO???
But actually sometimes being an auditor gives you a high self esteem in front of others… I remember once telling a person that I'm an auditor… his reaction was: “3ala rasi min fog sitti”… hehe I just felt like telling him: “ahk law te3raf il 7a2ee2a il morra” ;)
