Moody, Sad, Angry

Bright light shining through the window, cool breezy wind beautiful sky and happy people everywhere sounds like a perfect day but not for me.

I don’t know but nothing about today feels good, its one of those days when you wake up in morning and it makes you question everything around you. The food looses its taste, colors are dull, dont feel like meeting anyone or talking to anyone.

I hate feeling like this but there is nothing i can do to make it better. I am not even sure what is making me sad, why am i angry.. Just filled with too much hatred today in regards to everything and i am the person who is always smiling and find humor in everything but not today.  Talkative, smiling, having fun defines me but what happened today…

I feel lonely, angry and in a really bad mood, none of which i know the reason of. Just feel very heavy hearted. I want to be out and with friends but at the same time i dont want to be with anyone. Didnt talk to my girlfriend properly, didnt talk to my parents, didnt talk properly to anyone just been on my own and thinking about everything.

Mood will change all of a sudden for no reason to being happy and nice it usually is something that when it happens after that you feel really good. cant wait for it to happen else ill only be in better mood after i wake up :( . the sad part you dont know what it is, you cant do anything to make it happen, it just happens and you suddenly are full of life and cant stop smiling…Hope it happens soon.

Batelco!! You suck rabbit ass..

Had to go to batelco to pay my bill. What a mistake i made.

To pay batelco bill is such a pain in the ass. I go to Batelco office in batelco building manama, take a number and wait the number i got was 443 and when i reached there at 10 the number on the counter was 425. There are only 2 counters operating one for customer service and the other to pay by cheque. There was another batelco employee who was new i believe and he wasnt operating a counter but interrupting the other 2 people every 5 minutes. This guy for the life of him couldnt operate the cash machine that people use to pay bills.

Anyways, i take a number and wait in the line. The guy who is suppose to take my bill is on counter number 2 and there is a rather annoying, pain in the ass, rude, arrogant lady on counter 1 for customer service. Every customer who went there to do anything would get talked back rudely and will waste 15-20 minutes without any end result.

Back to counter number 2, the guy is new or atleast the way he is working tells me he is new. it takes him close to frigging 20 minutes per customer. NO Joke!!! the guy actually takes 20 minutes to scan the bill, enter the details and print the reciept. I waited till 11:30 for my turn and i couldnt hold it. As soon as he pressed the button, i waited for few seconds looking around if anyone else comes up to the counter. I lift my head up, look left and right, put on a confidence face and walk right upto the counter as it is my turn. Lay my paper on the table and he says 435? i go like ofcourse.

For just one bill, the guy i kid you not flipped the bill 4 times to make sure its one bill even though i told him that its just one bill for one number. how hard is that to get.

As for the people who kept going to the counter 1 to face the devil from hell didnt get their issues sorted out. Infront of me there must have been 10 people who went to her with their problem but she couldnt help out even 1 of them.

After paying my bills i went to zain shop right across the corner, there were 2 counters open even though they had space for much more but thats not the big picture here. Two ladies working and a queue of almost 15-20 people. No Numbering system nothing, i entered zain shop at 11:45 and walk out of there at 12. Paid my bill, applied for zain @ home all in 15 minutes. Thats customer service.

Message to Batelco, You Suck, Your Service Sucks, Your People Suck, and Batelco is full of shit. How about that for CUSTOMER SATIFACTION!!

Oh and i took the liberty of coming up with a new marketing campaign for you. Please use the image posted below freely and in any way you feel fit. I wont ask you for royalites or any such thing. I believe in total customer satisfaction.

Sorry for the long rant.. But people need to know what kind of shithole batelco has become.

The Saga of Bahraini Romeo..

Complete opposite to my Story posted here. I present to you todays article of GDN.

“A TEENAGER reported three Bahraini women to police for allegedly seducing him, but then getting into a Kuwaiti man’s car and making fun of him.”

That has got to be the stupid reason for going to police even more stupid then the guy who went to police after someone stole his weed.

What does he wants police to do, chase the girls down and make them like him. Its the scene from Bruce Al Mighty where he says i want you to like me but then he cant make it happen.

“In anger, the boy went to the police station and filed a case against the girls for making fun of him and for choosing a foreigner over him,” said the sources.

This is just pure hilarity.

Makes me wonder what kind of mindset do some people have, way of thinking and their actions.

P.S. I Hope they publish his name and picture in the newspaper :)

The guy makes a website with a funny design to try to track her down and he does..

Judicial System..

 Just read a Rape story that happened in dubai which made me write this post, this is not only in regards to dubai but also to Bahrain and other such Gulf Countries. The state that the judicial system is currently in right now is biased. Sentences for small crimes are harsh then for big crimes. Makes me wonder at times how do these judge give their verdict.

Uneducated locals think they are above the law, whether bahraini, emarati or whoever (remember the incident about the bahraini guy hitting a kid) thats just one of them. The guy came out screaming Don’t touch me i am bahraini..Yeah Right!!! btw what happened to that incident? i didnt hear about the sentence carried out to that guy..

Another incident that comes to mind is a Dhow Incident, the dhow capsized killing many people and the outcome of the Case is still pending..hmm hasnt it been like 2 years?

Who is to be blamed here?

And the recent news is about none other then dubai. i did not expected this from Dubai to be honest, a country that is countinously developing and moving forward will be so narrow minded and live in dark ages.

Follow the link to story here > http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/10/31/africa/dubai.php

A boy gets raped, police and everyone instead of catching the criminals they pressure the victim not to press charges and if he does, he will be charged with criminal homosexuality. WHAT THE CRAP?? The kid escapes the country with his parents and now they are brining it to notice of everyone else what kind of judicial system they have in Dubai.

The rapist have been caught and are going to be tried infront of 3 Judge panel, will be looking forward to hearing the outcome of this case..

Sad and truly sickening.

Kuwait here i come..not really!!

i need to vent somewhere really bad right now.

If you think getting rejected from Saudi Embassy wasnt bad enough wait till you read this. This happened on Saturday few days before i decided to go for Saudi.

I made a plan to visit Kuwait for some shopping and stuff with some friends of mine. Go to saudi embassy and get a transit visa without any hitch. Went to kuwait embassy the teller tells me that i dont need a visa to get into kuwait because i have a managerial visa and its validity is more then 6 months. Confirmed multiple times.

Comes Saturday, wake up at 4 wait for my friends to come pick me up and off we go. 2 Hours or 3 hours drive through Saudi and we reach khafji Border, cross it and go into Kuwait. Now this is where all hell breaks loose. The teller on Kuwait border tells me i cant enter because my managerial visa is fake and to prove that its real i need to show him some university degree. Fine and dandy but its frigging Saturday where the hell am i suppose to get him a university paper that shows i am student.

So i call my girlfriend up to go to my place and get her to fax me my university schedule, fees slips etc so i can show it to him along with my A levels certificate. This hinderance was fine because i am used to it, i am 20 but i look like 17/18 and when they see the post on my CPR they don’t take it seriously.

This is where the shit hits the fan , the fat prick on the counter is not ready to accept these documents and keeps on telling me that they are not valid. Yeah i just pay 750 Dinars every 3 months for no reason, jackass.

Tried to convince him for 3 hours faxed more documents back and forth but the guy didnt move from his place, to top it all when i met the manager (who was useless) he said that documents were legit but the fat ass on the counter still wouldn’t get me an entry visa.

After arguing with him for over 3 hours, i told him that i’ll make sure he is the one who stamps my exit from kuwait. Drive all the way back to bahrain cursing the fat ass under my breath, take a flight to kuwait. At the airport they didnt cause any problems they were courteous and it took only 5 minutes to process everything, i did my shopping and all waited till next morning and went back driving to the kuwait border to Saudi. The fat ass was there at the counter and he was surprised to see me, i waited for him to finish the queue that he had even though the other counter was empty but it felt nice when the fat ass stamped my exit and i was on my way.

The look on the guy’s face was priceless and driving back for 3 hours was totally worth it.
