I spent 4 days in Muscat from the 11th.Feb.2007 till the 14th.Feb.2007. There was a conference about diabetes that I thought it would be beneficial for me to attend. I had to be absent from uni for a about a week or so. & I am very glad that I did. There are many things to be said... those 4 days were extremely full of events that I find myself full of words and thoughts from head to toe...
I was lucky enough to have Scarlett with me almost all the time there. I never felt bored because she was extremely funny and PASSIONATE. Somehow I found myself in her... So often I'd see her DISTRACTED... So often I'd see her talking to herself and thinking deeply of things that are not so related to the main subject which was being raised in the conference... Oh yes I am like her, but I lack the wisdom and patience that she has... & she's much more smart for sure.
I never felt that I have so much L.O.V.E for her! But when I was there, I was thinking of how much I loved her... and I discovered that back when I was a child I adored her the most.... Even when I saw tears in her eyes before almost 4 years, I was the first who hugged her...
Series of memories flashed back into my mind... & I remembered this phrase "How can we be so different and feel so much alike?" & I remembered the dreams I dreamed about her when she had a great loss... In the end, I figured out that she's so precious to me & I made a promise to myself to TELL her about all such feelings :p
anyway,
Scarlett had friends there.. and her friends astonished me so much lol. They're very C.R.A.Z.Y in an innocent way. One of her friends is so talkative.. I could hardly speak when she was around!! Mashallah she does not leave space for anyone to talk... All the opportunities are only for her to talk and express her feelings... I could only answer her questions BREIFLY when I was asked. & as you know I feel almost suffocated when I don't TALK! Once we were in the Kargeen Cafe in Madinat Qabos... And as usual, this talkative doctor was engrossed into the Swalif happily.. & she is this kind of person who gestures with her hands a lot while talking & every single person in the cafe took notice of that... & while she was talking and talking and talking, I suddenly witnessed the mysterious looks of people in the cafe! Then, I was drifted into the circle of THOUGHTS again... I was amazed when a smile was drawn over my face, for I realized that the talkative doctor added a lovely sense of humor to the atmosphere.. Hehe and I dunno why I thought of Timon and Pumba and their role in The Lion King movie. Perhaps that talkative doctor shared something in common with Timon and Pumba. Wherever she goes, she wears her heart on her sleeve... and this is her and she won't change herself for the sake of others.
Hakuna matata... what a wonderful phrase.. Hakuna matata.. ain't no passing craze.. it means no worries for the rest of your day....
While I was having my delicious meal, I remembered once that my teacher told me that he liked my honesty and lively spirit... & I told him that some people couldn't interpret my expressions well and in the end they got annoyed.. He finally concluded: "Well.. that's not your problem.. Don't change for their sake" :) I turned to see the talkative doctor again, I couldn't help but smile widely until the dimples showed.
I was head-over-heals in love with the KARGEEN CAFE... I don't know why exactly.. The lights were soft... the decoration was simple... yet, the food was so delicious and traditional :D The waiter brought us Suleimani chai, MshaWA, Ash soup, pomegramate juice, bread with halloomi cheese & much more.. I couldn't taste everything, because I was full and fed up. BUT Scarlett tasted almost everything... :P
Funny Incidents:
1) Once we were out of the Kargeen Cafe, we headed to Shangrilla hotel... Scarlett's phase was not pleasing at all. She was extremely tired and dizzy... She had a serious headache and helplessly she felt she needed to throw up. it seemed she could not endure the long road. She entered the hotel LOOKING as if she was heavily drunk or something. Her friend was grabbing her strongly on the shoulders... & guess what? there were English people walking behind Scarlett and her freinds... They were laughing out loud and Scarlett could hear the laughs. Suddenly she turned around and said with a serious tone: "Hey, I am sick.. don't think that I am ****ian or something" :p By the time Scarlett reached her room, she rushed to her bed... I think she was having a delirium, because I could not understand the things she was talking about, but suddenly she said: "My friend.... the doctor... the talkative woman... she's.. she's.. she's just like.. Timon and Pumba"............ and I was there standing in one corner of the room.. I was left bewildered, for I had the same thought about the talkative doctor & how she resembles Timon & Pumba's sense of humor in the same night!!! How could Scarlett sense that as well? lol. That was so strange!
2) By Chance... Scarlett and her friends found themselves suddenly wearing RED the night before Valentine. and I was fully in red. My ring, watch, t-shirt, and bag were all in red. DOCTORS IN RED... =)
3) Personally, something happened to me in the conference. something that reminded me of the movie "SCREAM"... Scream show in the conference's hall :P and it was because of a Sagittarius person... & it was the strangest thing everrrr... I will leave this matter concealed for now, because I wanna add it in my novel. so stay tuned :p
I really had fun and I benefited a lot from them. The doctors I know are so sweet. =) One of them is so funny.. The other one is so ambitious mashaAllah... and there's this doctor who claims she needs TLC (Tender L.O.V.E & Care) lol <= this doctor is the sweetest.. & Scarlett.. is the legend ^_^
Scarlett was a VIP.. she was given a premium room and a special mobile to be used there.. and a unique hospitality by a Sagittarius lady =)
When I was finally at Dubai airport... They discovered that my luggage was still in muscat lol. My bag did not wanna come back... and I was extremely disappointed, for I was worried about the valuable rings I kept in one bag... Thank God, they delivered my bag after one day.

Anyway,
The lovely days were gone.. Yesterday I was back to the routine which I really despise. There are 2 courses which I am not so interested in.. Biochemistry andddd Statistics.. ufff.. I disliked them! actually they are 3 courses... they lack L.o.v.e and passion... Wish me luck please. I also don't have much chances to be absent again.
I will try to add the pix of muscat and khsab soon. probably this thursday Inshallah.
