Golf
Golf is a great game.I started playing golf about a year ago, and its been quite an interesting journey. Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 on the Xbox got me initially interested in the sport (and gave me some basic knowledge as to what it entails) and then...

Shady Construction
My apartment block is 8 years old. I've been living in my apartment for 3 years now.. nice little place, reasonable rent..Given that the whole complex has only been up for 8 years, you'd expect the place to be well constructed (1996 might've been a while...

Kazaa (or lack thereof..)
I'm assuming everyone knows what Kazaa is? For the uninitiated, its a p2p (person to person) filesharing program. This gives you a plethora of music tracks, movies, computer software and images at your virtual fingertips. I haven't bought a CD in a very,...

Duleek
..is the name of an Irish village. As part of my general practice rotation (and as seems to be the case this year), I'm being shipped out to a remote part of the country to "pursue my education". Why do I have to pursue the damn thing? Don't my parents...

Bills.
No, not the kind that's attached to a duck's face. The ugly kind you get in the mail.No one in the world likes being billed for something that they've enjoyed. Whether its in a restaurant at the end of a meal or at the end of the month for your credit...

Back from Sabbatical
..and wishing that sabbatical was the name of some beautiful carribbean island. But it's not, i've actually been in some little irish town by the name of Cavan doing a rotation at their quaint little hospital. Finally back to the big city, i'm amazed...

Family Vacations
Haven't posted anything up for a while now, but for a good reason. I've been on vacation with the family for the last 16 days and internet access was hard to come by. I was also lazy.Family vacations are like the proverbial double-edged sword. Actually,...

Humidity sucks.
It's like a punch to the gut. You walk out of your house or your car, or any air conditioned place, and you're hit with an invisible wall of such magnitude that it almost knocks you over (usually completely ruining your mood). This of course has been...

Flourescent lighting
It's driving me absolutely fucking nuts. One of the flourescent lights in the bathroom has reached the end of its life-span and is doing things that only those stupid lights do. Other lightbulbs just go off and stay off, these damn things keep on flickering...

Back home
Just got back to Bahrain yesterday, weather being as hot as ever. I've learned to love it to be honest.. and just when i decided that i don't really mind the weather as much as i used to, i get a flat tire at 12 noon, the point at which the sun is almost...

Fungus attack
Was just cleaning my apartment, and i ventured into the rarely attempted area that is my bathroom. This thing has been minimally maintained for the last 2 years, so there were a couple of things that I had to attend to. It was time.There was a bit of...

انا اعشق الرياضة
I love sports. Yes i do.Today was beautiful, two rugby games.. the two opening games of Euro 2004 (Portugal never fail to disappoint) and the formula 1 qualifying session. And to top it off, Miss Universe was on at night! Technically, i HAVE been staring...

Quote me happy
Crunch time. An exam that's literally worth $40,000 is in 6 days. Talk about pressure, eh?The studying process has been slow, but it's picking up. I've got confidence in my ability to pull this one out of the fire.. as long as the questions are fair....

Taking over the world
There's something about sunny days that makes you forget all about your responsibilities and you feel like you just want to spend the day outdoors.Today we played Risk. It's a funny game, a game where you have to shed any sense of moral decency and friendship...

Late night, rough day random
The remote control for the digital box is fucked. Not only is it consuming batteries like no tommorow, but the power button is also messed. So i still have to manually get up off my derriere and walk over to the television. I thought the whole point...

Pizza
Ahh, the staple diet of the college student. Not only does it taste good, but it's also so damn convenient. The local pizza delivery place has a "buy one, get one free" offer we've been abusing for the past while. It makes the whole thing so much cheaper...

Where's the beef?
Just on my way down to the grocery store to get some pasta, passed this guy with a stick of french bread in one hand. Initially, i thought he might be taking it home to make himself a sandwich.. or maybe some garlic bread. But no, he broke it open right...

Beep, Beep, Beep.
2:43am.Should really wake up and do something tommorow. Something productive. Something that would make me feel better about my week. So far it hasn't been progressing too well, it's just been day after day of doing nothing. This blog has added to my...
Sun in the summer
It completely throws me off. I don't think i'll ever adjust to the added hours of daylight we get in summer time. It's 7pm right now and it looks like it's around 4.It really messes up my daily schedule.. that sense of having more of the day left is...

American clothes sizes
I love ebay. Whatever you can think of you could probably buy, just try it. Just to test out ebay's randomness, i searched for a "garlic crusher" and found two listings. Maybe someday i'll be lazy enough to order a garlic crusher off the internet instead...

The three second rule
Today was a beautiful day. The sun was out, the weather was warm and all the ladies were showing a bit of skin. So we decided to have a barbeque.Being that i possess the dreaded Y chromosome, i take it as my responsibility to man the grill as often as...
The washing machine is broke.
Well, not exactly broken. But it might as well be.It takes me a full day to do one load, since it gets stuck every step of the way for at least an hour before the dial clicks into the next step of the cycle. Kind of annoying, since it's hard to predict...

Can sitting on the couch for too long actually hurt?
I've been lazy for the last couple of days. Who am I kidding.. weeks. I haven't done much in terms of exercise and have been comfortable enough sitting on the couch, eating pizza, watching tv and playing xbox. But i'm starting to notice a little strain...
