I’m pretty sick, I hope to get better so I can get to my classes tomorrow. I can’t miss anything.
I’m also angry at the damn PC store in Colchester. They’re nice guys in there, but sometimes I feel like they don’t know anything.
They got the wrong mother board first of all, they tried to make it sound like it was because I changed processors, but the fact is, even if I didn’t, the motherboard DIDN’T support SLI (two graphics cards) in the first place!
I was told to be able to pick it up Saturday, then Wednesday, then Thursday, then Thursday afternoon, now they are saying Friday. I feel like they are not giving me any priority.

I miss Aiko so much. I wish she was here to take care of me and give me hugs and shout at me for not eating healthy foods.

I saw this article though, Qatar is building the worlds first Air Conditioned Cycle road.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3326850694033482725&q=qatar

This is a CYCLING: News and Views podcast featuring Adnan Rahman of Rand Europe describing the thinking behind an ‘air-conditioned’ 35km cycle-path network to be built in the Gulf State of Qatar in 2007.

The multi-million dollar cycle infrastructure project in Doha, capital of Qatar, is bankrolled by the Emir of Qatar and will create the best, most futuristic cycle-path in the world. Seven metres wide on Doha’s Corniche, the cycle-path is to have a stunning canopy and will be water-cooled.

I’m pretty angry!
I was driving in the town. Driving on the way to the computer store to see if my pc was ready. Omar was with me. His sugar was low because he didn’t take his insulin. So he said that he urgently needed to get something sugary or else he’d go into a fit. I said fine. The only choice was to stop in front of a store for a minute, but on a bus section. So I did. You’re not supposed to park in a bus section in general but this was an emergency.
So this bus driver honks his horn behind me (there is ALOT of space in front and behind me.) So I signal right to get out, but he’s gone in front of me and blocked me in! He comes out, points at me in a threatening way and then takes my plate number.

I’m so angry! He even stopped traffic to do that. I wasn’t parking there! I didn’t leave my car unattended, my damn friend needed suger or else he would have went into a seizure! PLUS I was there for a couple of minutes TOPS.

So I call the police station to get their advice and they advise me to call the council. Omar calls the council to explain and they say they can’t do anything unless I’m issued a ticket.

I don’t think bus drivers can issue tickets though…. :S So I wonder what he was doing with my plate.

All I know is that this can’t fly. I also hope the council will back me up because I would hate to know that they would rather my friend go into a diabetic fit than allow me to stop (not park) on a bus lane for a few minutes to prevent that.

I returned today from the Japanese Language classes that the society was hosting.
It was fun, I just sat and chatted with Anisa and Kayo while the people who came were learning.

As we left, I felt happy that there was so many people that showed up. It is nice to see such interest.
They were all so friendly of course.

Well, hopefully today I will be able to pick up my new computer.

My schedule is pretty full.

You know, I’m part of the Japanese comitee now. Alot of other societies have asked me to sponsor them but I chose to sponsor the Japanese society.
Why? It’s because I want to help the society that Aiko was from. I believe in helping and I wanted to.
When I first was going to help, Omar told me, “Fuck the Japanese, why are you helping them?”. I ignored him and decided to help anyway!
He then said that he was going to come to one of the meetings to suggest giving some free Brazilian Ju Jitsu to the members. Fine.
So when we go to the first meeting, he started to dominate it. He kept on talking and wouldn’t give people the chance to discuss. He even said “I don’t want to be part of the comittee”. So why the hell is he talking like he’s the president?

Today we had a meeting at Top Bar. We talked about some things and then were talking about the date to the Japanese Party. We had to vote because we were all busy at different dates.
So, 3 voted december, 2 voted January, and Omar just sat there. So I turned to him and ask, what month is fine for you. He said “I can do any month”. I said alright but pick a preferred month. He didn’t.
So finally I said “Fine, you’re just busy in March” (because he has his project due then). So he said (in a loud voice), Fuck you, let me speak.

1) I don’t like bad words in front of people.
2) These meetings, although casual, should be professional.
3) I’m so tired of his attitude.

He’s acting like the King.

So I finally told him that if he speaks to me like that again, he can just forget about talking to me at all.
I felt embarassed. Not because Omar said a bad word, but I felt embarassed to be his friend. The friend of a rude person.

I don’t understand, this guy didn’t even want to be part of the society. He doesn’t want to help with the events. But he wants to give his opinion as if he is God.

I sent a message to Anisa and Kayo and apologized for Omar’s rude behaviour. It is unacceptable.

So I spoke to Aiko today. She seemed tired. I’m glad that she is taking a day to relax. We chatted for a bit. Even though we didn’t have anything important to say, I was happy just to hear her voice.
After closing the phone, I remembered a few things I wanted to ask. I guess I will have to ask them another time. I’m just happy to speak to her.

Alright, you all know that I like to tell the world of bad companies. So here is the latest.
MidPhase from www.midphase.com

They are the biggest bunch if idiots I’ve ever seen.
They had an unlimited bandwidth hosting plan. I signed up to stream files from them. However, in their terms, it says you are not allowed to use more that 10% of the server usage…

SO they suspend the account and then tell me the file that too many people downloading.
Fine.
Problem is, since they suspended the account, I can’t access the FTP to REMOVE the file.
They keep saying they warned me but all they did was tell me ONCE AFTER they suspended the account. No warning no nothing. There is around 4-5 months left as well and I paid for the whole year, and they are REFUSING to refund the money back! This is unacceptable. They told me either upgrade my plan (to the 200 dollar a month plan which I can’t afford) or cancel my account.

I’m not going to let this rest. I’ll have to use all my legal skills as a student lawyer to beat the shit out of them.

So what’s been going on these days?
Well I tried to open a bank account with Lloyds, but as some people may know, England is the most hardest country to do anything in.
If you want to buy a coke, you probably have to sign 7 contracts.

So after providing them with all of my information, they said “sorry but you were rejected because of a problem with your credit history”. I know what they’re talking about. Damn Vodafone made an error and marked one of my bills as unpaid. I did pay it, and they acknowledge that, however they say they can’t remove that ‘marker’. What that does is mess up my WHOLE LIFE!

Anyway, I took a letter with my credit history to the bank and I hope that they will understand my situation. They were very nice with me, but they now look at me as a criminal :S

I ordered a few things from ebay and I bought a great FiloFax. It’s Italian leather. Many know that I love technology, but I like organizing my life with paper, I don’t know why.

This is it

I’ve also been waiting for my damn new pc to be finished.
I sold my Toshiba Laptop and I’m now using my MacBook. I also sold my P990 mobile phone. It came to a total of 485 for the laptop and 350 for the P990 so (835). THe pc costs 1030 but it’s amazingly powerfull. It’s one of the most powerfull pc’s in the world.
2GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, TWO 7900 GTOS (512mb each), wifi, sound card, 19inch widescreen etc….

I also need to save up for my trip to Japan. I really want to go with a group of friends and enjoy myself and have a nice experience.

I spoke to Aiko today. I was feeling sad that I never received a reply from her in a while. She was sounding very nice on the phone. She told me that she was working very hard from early in the morning to late at night. We spoke for around 10 minutes and she then asked if I could call her tomorrow. I said I didn’t mind and would call.

Today I met Kayo and we chatted and ate dinner. She’s a very friendly girl. She’s part of the Japanese committee and they asked for my help. I said I would sponsor them, but they’d need to how “Fluid Mobile” as the sponsor. I created a logo for the society too.

It’s this.

Anyway, I’ll leave more for another day.

So today I helped out with the Brazilian Ju Jitsu, I’m helping Omar out because I’m being nice. I’ve told him 1 million times I don’t give a shit about the thing.

Today he was supposed to be in my house at 2. I told him I finish at 1 and I told him ‘MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN THE HOUSE BY 2:30′ I even repeated it twice, he said ‘yes yes fine’.

Long story short. He kept me waiting for 2 hours. When I called the fucker he said he’d be on his way, 45 mins later, he arrives. It takes 15-20 mins to walk from where he was, it would take 8-15 if he ran. So that means the bitch took a detour.

What pisses me off even more, is that on the way back from uni, I stopped and McDonalds and brought him a burger. Serves me right for being nice to him.

So today at night, we have a pointing game. It was HIS game. I say “fine, the loser who can’t hold his arm up pointing has to go up to a girl and say “hey baby what’s up”" He agrees.
So he loses. Then refuses to do what he’s supposed to do. Fine. He then says ok again. I say fine. He loses again. He again refuses. I hate people who take on bets and then don’t follow through. EVERYONE we met said he should follow through.

So today he came to my house at night. I didn’t tell him to, it just was kind of implied since he was supposed to fucking work on a website. (Of course I’m doing all the work and I think that at the end of the day, if it profits, he’s going to get the percentage of work he puts in). So we stop at tesco, we come in, I tell him to put his freaking FOUR BOXES of food in the mini fridge (has a freezer section). I’ve basically GIVEN him that fridge. He says “it’s not good enough to freeze”. I got annoyed he was rearranging my freezer to put his shit in. So I told him man, it’s not cool.

He said “it’s only for one night and you asked me to stay here”.
I said “dude.. I asked you LAST night to stay over to work on the site”

So he said “well if you’re not going to ask me, I might as well go home”

I said “fine”

I mean, wtf is up with that! Why does he want me to give him a gold invitation. He acts like a bitch but then expects respect.

Note: I didn’t kick him out, I didn’t say get out of my house, I simply corrected the bitch from saying something that was not true!

Anyway, fuck it. He’s a bitch as usual. I hope more people point this out to him.
This is all my fault for being his friend.

I just wanted to talk to Aiko these past few days. She told me to call and when I did she didn’t answer.
My days going to university seem pretty ‘robotic’. I don’t need to think. I just get up automatically wash, get dressed, drive to the station and voila.

I feel like an empty vessel.

Yesterday Shingo came over. We tried to have fun. Omar was there. He went to sleep on my sofa and we basically did nothing after that.

The only excitement I’ve been getting these days is a competition from www.nickthediamond.com
I’ve been blogging what I’ve been doing at http://gangs.iktib.com I’ve had alot of interest in the blog AND I may be invited to go to London and a hotel. I don’t know if these means I’m on the finals or what.

My sister Nadia has started to argue with me again. My father shouts at her, so she calls me to argue. I’m so tired of fighting with this girl. She always thinks I’ve got a plan against her when I don’t even think.

Yesterday was Girgaoon. It marks the middle of Ramadan. It’s great because we pitch a tent and sit with the family and children walk around the towns singing songs at houses for sweets. It’s like halloween but sweeter and without the tricks.. just the treats.. and without the scary stuff too. Ok it’s not like halloween….

Well today I need to go to the University of Essex to pass out fluid mobile flyers. Alrighty then!
