If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing this? If you aren’t anonymous, do
you wish you started out anonymously, so that you could be anonymous now? 2.
Describe an incident that shows your inner stubborn side The
decisions I regret in my life are the ones that I gave a second thought. I usually get it right first time. Back at
college I realized this about myself. I never revised a question I couldn’t
solve in exams and perhaps this made me crawl at some point. Of course, I
had to live the consequences of bad decisions in so many occasions, but I
usually decide on something, act, and explain later… I find my way out ;) 3.
What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror? I care
about those around me and I come out of my way if I need to in order not let
them down. 4.
What is your favorite summer cold drink? 5.
When you take time for yourself, what do you do? 6.
Is there something that you still want to accomplish in your life? 7.
When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever, the
shy person, or always ditching? 8.
If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment in your
life, what would you see? 9. Is
it easy for you to share your true self in your blog, or are you more
comfortable writing posts
about other people and events? 10.
If you had the choice to sit down and read a book or talk on the phone, which would
you do and why? Read a book.. I hate phones and blabbering!
My
blog is about me because it gives me a chance to look deeper in myself.. So I
won’t be anonymous and true.
I don’t
personally think I am stubborn … On the other hand, I am the kind of person who
thinks of any decision I make and second filter would be my gut feelings about
it. It always works for me.
A
hard worker who doesn’t like to think at all! I depend on me and I learn the
hard way.

Hello ... It's Thursday night, the night that I enjoy the most here in KSA.
Thursdays are special because I don't have to go to work on Friday , because I have some time for myself although I spend the time alone on my own like every other night in the week and finally because I get a feeling of relief because I trained myself to do so. Being away from family and home is tough , but it also teaches you patience and another bunch of good things.... One of them is self entertainment.
Tonight , I will announce it "Pink Floyd" night because this band happens to be a good , one I enjoy tuning to their music every now and then and because they sing songs that rhyme well with me and so profound in meaning and really speak about worries found in the mind of almost each one of us.
My pick for tonight is "DOGS" , from the Album "ANIMALS" of 1977. I was one years old then and I remember I listening to that one back then ….. Kidding.
This song is about business men, and can apply for those stake holders who might be involved in different activities in a company or better to say an enterprise. To me , it applies to everybody who holds a certain position or responsibility and behind the scenes, he or she , would do everything possible in order to hold his or her position and wipe out others who try to stand up for their rights.
It also applies to those good people who give up at the end and bargain with the devil to get what they want.
Those who have double standards, who abuse their authorities and power to get more and more.
Those who justify for themselves and forbid for others.
Those who claim that they are victims of a bigger system and use this argument to justify their acts in the name of being mistreated in the past.
Those who never give you a hand or help others in their work because they get afraid of others growing stronger or develop more skills.
Those who know something and hide it from others in order to make it harder for them.
Those who think only of their selves only and forget that they work for a company that hired them in order to work with other people who also have ambitions and families to support. Unfortunately this is found everywhere all over the world and I am trying to help my company clean itself from people of this type through this post and through the work I am doing on a daily basis. History can never forget those who abuse others and will always label them “scoundrels أوغاد”!
God Al Mighty said in the Hadeeth Al Qudsi "يا عبادي إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي وجعلته بينكم محرما فلا تظالموا"
You can download this song by clicking here or you can simply tune to it and enjoy reading below. Pink Floyd - Dogs .mp3 
Found at bee mp3 search engine 
My understanding of the song :
You got to be crazy, you gotta have a real need (This is talking about the dog type person because he’s too greedy and really lacks so many things so this is becoming so obvious in his character)
You gotta sleep on your toes and when you're on the street (The dog style person is always on the move and ready for action)
You got to be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed (He’s always prepared to strike and act on his victim even with his eyes closed ..He’s a professional!)
And then moving in silently, down wind and out of sight (After getting hold of what he wants , he will pull back silently and move like a snake and hide away)
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking (He’s always ready to do this on and on)
And after a while, you can work on points for style (On the other hand , he looks so innocent .. Double skin and double face .. So sweet talking and looking different)
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake (he sugar coats the rotten person inside with his look and gives you a firm warm handshake that makes you feel easy going with him)
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile (Double skin)
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to (He gains your trust because this is how he gets his pray.. He tells lies and lies )
So that when they turn their backs on you (Once you become a threat and no longer go his way then he will have something to abuse you with)
You'll get the chance to put the knife in (A stab in the back)
You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder (The dog style person knows deep inside him that things are getting harder and harder for him everyday because he trusts nobody and his mind is always busy thinking of others trying to get down on him and that nobody is willing to help him. He’s fraid of others and this is why he is doing a one man show. He thinks others will treat him bad and that nobody understands him// He’s becoming a real psycho haunted with this type of thought)
You know, it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder
As you get older (The dog style person)
Yeah, and in the end you'll pack up and fly down south (After some time , he will run away from his reality and go to a remote place)
Hide your head in the sand (A remote place where he will face his fears and though feel lost)
Just another sad old man (He will become a sad person)
All alone and dying of cancer (And die alone .. Isolated.. Perhaps he will be alive but dead in terms of good people around him .. He’s alone and lonely)
And when you lose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown (When the dog style person is out of control and looses everything , he will realize that this is what he worked out with his own hands)
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone (Then everybody will notice this and will realize that this person was nothing but a a soap buble that seemed a 1000 times bigger than what it really is)
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw around (He will realize it’s too late to fix things)
So have a good drown, as you go down all alone (He will drown alone and fall down)
Dragged down by the stone (His evil acts and selfishness becomes a heavy stone tied to his feet and will pull him down deeper and deeper to the rock bottom)
Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused (People like us , victims of dog style people, we are confused .. We get this feeling because after sometime we can’t tell whether they have been using us or we were just doing our jobs working under the dog people authorities)
Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise (We will always suffer from the consequences and damage these dog people caused)
If I don't stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze (We feel that we are lost in the middle of a big maze … Confused and don’t know how to get out if we don’t find a solid ground to stand on. Unfortunately these dog people left us like this and went away)
Deaf, dumb and blind, you just keep on pretending (The dog style person closes his eyes in order not to see)
That everyone's expendable, and no one has a real friend (He always thinks of others as tools , he trusts nobody and he looks at his peers as people that mean him harm only.. He needs to see this so he can justify his acts to himself)
And it seems to you the thing to do would be to isolate the winner (And for the dog style person , making himself blind , he will then convince himself that it’s a matter of life and death ti him so he should have no mercy)
Everything's done under the sun (He destroys others making use of his power and authorities , by deceiving and betrayal so everything will be legal but deadly. He will then say it’s all been done under the sun while everybody was watching)
But you believe at heart everyone's a killer (but inside , he’s a psycho .. he is afraid all the time and thinks that everybody wants to harm him so everybody is a criminal and he has to be one in order to fight back)
Who was born in a house full of pain (This song is about victims who suffered in a bad place because of dog style people and at the end they became dog type people just like him)
Who was trained not to spit in the fan (This song is about those abuse their powers)
Who was told what to do by the man (Those dog style persons who choose to serve as dogs for the big man, whether he pushes them or not. In so many cases the big man doesn’t know that his stake holders are dog style people because h/she is a victim himself/herself)
Who was broken by trained personnel (Those dog style people who where ordinary people like us but became doggy style at the very first opportunity they had)
Who was fitted with collar and chain (Those dog style people who chose to be like this and chickened out to fight intolerance or superior powers that pushed them to become so.. They simply chose to go the easy way)
Who was given a pat on the back (Those dog style people who always received acknowledgment for being so)
Who was breaking away from the pack (Those dog style people who grew up to become this way in an environment that doesn’t push them to do so… This is a really bad dog style person)
Who was only a stranger at home (those dog style people are strangers in their own homes .. Even they don’t feel home when they are back to their homes.. Their lives are empty)
Who was ground down in the end (Those dog style people who will drown down at the end.. Getting their fair punishment and going down where they belong)
Who was found dead on the phone (Who will do this to the last moment of their lives)
Who was dragged down by the stone
Who was dragged down by the stone
I hope you enjoyed it as well as the fine music and performance. Next step is to have something to eat : )
Good night

Hello all ..
Attempting to back up my phone so I thought of sharing some media I found in it .. Enjoy :)
The machining videos are High Speed Machining of a 1.8 X 1.5 X 0.15 m workpiece I worked out on Thursday Dec 23rd. You can notice the 24 000 mm/minute movement of the spindle in 3 axis at 18 000 RPM rotary speed. Such a ride!

Hello everybody , My name is Fadi and I come from a cozy little town at the western coast of KSA.To start with, I am a Jordanian working for a Saudi company. I mold up things including the very tiny details of my life and sometimes those around me. My employer is a special one and our organization is experiencing a large scale reform and I just like it!Some rock at work while at the same time you find others lagging behind, too narrow minded to accept a redesign of their outdated policies and basically you may say they're sort of trouble makers. The tension is immense around this place but I think it's healthy as long as we believe we can do it and change at the end. I will write about this often and share it with you when I can.I started this blog in 2005 when I was a physical neighbor to arabblogs.com at the iPark in Amman. Few people believe that arabblogs.com was started by a dentist when he was at college and his fellow friend with a coco hair cut. I won't forget big fat Moh.Those long nights of work, entrepreneurs all over the place, young people facing all sorts of challenges and the strong will to make it happen no matter what that indeed changed me for good and became a fairy tale to tell whenever I have the chance to.The iPark in Amman is a really special place. People from many backgrounds, independent , come from different ages, different horizons starting small businesses based on dreams and learning that cash flow is what really matters at the end!
In 2004 , me and my ex employer enrolled the iPark and started a small business in product design. A genuine idea and the first in Jordan. The 3 years I spent there were amazing. You're in the middle of hard working people, each is instrumental in a totally different business willing to bargain with the devil to take off! Thanks God, many managed to spare the devil thing at the end :)Blogging from the iPark was something that gathered us incubatees. Loco & Loca of the Los Locos and the wonderful times we spent together, Neverland and her high hopes, Justice and his bitter attacks, M&M and of course my secret allies at Jeeran (Hala) who lent me a hand in trespassing the Los Locos blog when Loca was on leave. Those are wonderful times.In September 2006 my life changed .. That was the sweetest thing I had in my whole life. All of you took part of it and I will cherish this for the rest of my life.Thank you Rasha for your call , I double on Neverland that I did enjoy every minute I spent writing this entry. I miss you all!Fadi Mary Hopkins - Those Were The Days My Friend .mp3 Found at bee mp3 search engine *******************************

Hello ..
I wish there's something like "going to the movies" here in KSA but unfortunately there's no such thing here.
I'm downloading " Live & Let Die" of James Bond ... half an hour to go :)
My favorite character in this movie is Sheriff J.W Pepper.... He's funny.
So far , nobody is reading my blog! Those old good days are over.

Hello everybody ,
I am so ignorant to this place and for the first time in my whole life I get to realize I am too week to be on my own! I never thought of this about myself.
It's almost a year now .. A mix of hard, good & bad experience! Life is funny. Going through my entries I can tell I never learn and I tend to use a childish tone whenever I find myself under pressure.
I need to focus or I'll loose it here.
Going home for two weeks off inshallah.

Hi .. I can't believe I will get home in a week or so .. Is it because I've never been away from home this long before?
Now I fully realize the sacrifice my father did for giving us a better life.
This time not only Ohoud my wife & cute Hala my daughter ... Baby Abdallah will be born Inshallah ... I am no artist but managed to do this :)

Hello ...
This one brings back memories 25 years in time when I used to be a kid at school.
I learned that Mrs. Abu Nawar passed away 6 months ago. Alla yer7amha.
Aida and Wael pioneered the Jordanian music scene for 15 years when fate forced them to move outside the country.
Enjoy!

Hello ..
This is an update post and bits of other disorders I am going through these days.
Part 1:
Been going through a lot in the past two days , didn't sleep for 48 hours and had to work at home all night long yesterday. The domes project took its toll on me and I ended up building what I was not supposed to build because I either misunderstood my role or I was mislead and mislead others on the go! I really have no clue what the real reason is but it's a mix of many things
The story goes like this : I personally don't use Autocad , I don't use it , I don't know how to use it and I hardly know how to zoom in and out when I open a drawing on it. Thats all I know .. When a client sends me a drawing from Autocad , I simply import it into my CAD system and do my evil.
The story began when our HQ engineering office asked for help in calculating the area of a dome with an irregular shape. I was was asked to lend a hand.
Looking at the documents we have at office 400 km away , we found a set of print outs of the project. The print outs were not complete and they only show portions of the design. The rest of the design was sent earlier by email but unfortunately my CAD operator is on emergency leave so I had to handle things on my own. I imported these bloody files into my CAD system and all opened correctly except for one. The one that didn't didn't work was the one that shows the confusing part and it opened in a terribly messing way. I tried my best to work out what I need but it was so messy that you can do nothing about it.
Another factor : My computer at work was under maintenance for two days so all the above was done at home..
Action: OK , the bloody file doesn't open , its messy any way , the print outs that I have in hand show the other drawings that opened and there's nothing that indicate that there's another major part messing provided nobody here mentioned anything about something like this. I mistakenly concluded that this messy part has nothing to do with what I need so I based my work on the things in hand.
To others , they took it for granted. Ok we sent you the complete drawings by emai so you have everything. Beam out!
The bottle neck: This morning , we were trying to convince our HQ office that we did a great job .. Their reply : it's not complete .. At the end , I figured out they were right and I was wrong! Hard fact to accept.
I still get people who think I'm a modeler or a draftsman and they still think that life revolves about this! CAD is a design tool and it doesn't really matter what type of tool to use as long as it takes you where you want. I use KC for tool design, product design, machining , detailing , conceptualization, FEA, reverse engineering , tuning to music and so on and it really works well for me.
You want a high end product , then switch to ProE or CATIA if you have guts to do so.
By the way , my ex company finally launched our final website. It took us 5 long years to start this initiative in Jordan and I am proud of the break through we did and the many many projects we worked on ranging from domestic designs to military and electronic applications.
When we started the company , people looked at me and company owner as a couple of smart modelers! Probably we served the industry in Jordan more than the Jordanian prime Minister!
Please check it at www.mkdad.com and feel free to browse through the projects there. It makes me proud indeed.
Anyway, I learned a lesson today! Hard one!
لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله
Messy file 
My work 
Part:2
I need to get a driving license .. I have to do something about this and get a car. I don't know why they don't accept Jordanian driving license here. I tried to convince them but the rules here are different.
I failed the test 2 times here although I have a car for 14 years now!
Part 3:
The domes mock-up worked .. Big smile.
Part 4:
You never believe what Mohammad Hasanein Haikal says on Al Jazeera .... The guy is either telling lies or repainting history.
Part 5:
In 1994 , I secretly went to King Hussein Aerial College ((Air Force) in Al Mafraq city in northern Jordan and took the exam they have for fighter pilots. I passed the physical exam, the IQ tests (I was smart then coz I got 35/36but this doesn't seem to be true anymore) but I failed the advanced physical test the other day at the military hospital in Amman. I was 80 % through!
OK , the bad experience I had today reminds me of this song and its video on youtube. The guy who compiled it really did a great job.
If using Autocad is driving a car , then what I do is dogfight in a fighter jet!
On n'est pas comme ca ( I am not like this)
There are boys who talk a lot about their experiences
They drive BMW
They say this and that
I am not like them
....
....
....
....
They drive a Ritmo
......
You're the king of the city
On nest pa comme ca (I am not like this)
On la joue pas comme ca (I don't play like this)
....

I would love to try this one day and feel that G force crack my bones! I mean it.

Hello all ...
Although I promised my wife I will no longer work on Fridays but it seems again I prove I'm an irreversible screwed up! I thought I'd leave this habit for good if I change my career but weekends here are boring and this is how I spend my time if I stay at home. Yes of course , you can say I'm a perfect fit for Victor Hugo's novel Les Misérables!
So there's this project that I'm working on these days and I will post about it. It took me 9 hours to put the idea into a concept.
The big dome can only fit on my CNC machine if machined into a shape called truncated icosahedron. It took me 3 hours to figure out the right coordinates of the 3D shape. I will put here the calculations I have on paper later on after I scan them so it'd save you some time in case you want to do it yourself. I will also post screen shots of the CAD wire -frame so you get to see how it was built step by step.
After building the wire-frame , the tool construction followed.
The procedure:
First off , I will machine the four basic shapes in HD foam , have them sand papered and finished by hand as illustrated in the first image.
After doing this , an FRP laminate, lets say 5 or 6 mm in thickness is laid up as shown. The inner surface will have good finish because the foam shapes it and it''s already finished after machining.
After doing this , we'll prepare another FRP laminate of 5 - 6 mm laid up on the inner surface of the red ones from the previous step in order to produce the blue and silver ones. The blue are silver are the ones we'll use for building the outer part of another mold that we will use to generate the inner and outer part of the final LRTM mold.
Done , then the assembly goes like this
Voila :)
It's almost 3:30 am now and I have to get some sleep.

Hello
everybody ... So life is
funny! The day I left to KSA, I left my daughter with my father and mother in
law at the hospital so my wife in her way back she’d drop by and pick her up.
When I hugged my daughter goodbye, I felt I am not the same person anymore and
felt that I'm 1% of the person I used to be. I don’t know what happened to me or
how I held myself together and turn around and go ! Inside , I asked God to
handle their matters as well as mine and walked away. The management here and at our HQ office in
Jeddah are beyond cooperative and to be honest, this is the only motive force
that keeps me moving. It feels really bad when you're alone and your energy is
being dissipated everyday you run at high Adrenalin levels all the time! What I really
hate around here is that nobody is willing to give any piece of information
being small or big!! The exception is the management team but I’m talking about
engineers and technicians. Some of them
think I am a threat and act accordingly; others have bad attitudes while the
majority don't have a clue what the hell I’m doing! Even those who I am concerned
in helping and build capacity in them take everything with a kg of salt not a
grain as the saying is. During the past two months, I ended up switching to DO
IT THIS WAY OR I SWEAR TO GOD ... sort of attitude for a couple of times despite
that I did my best to avoid this but at the time it seems I couldn’t take it
anymore and had no other option. In a meeting with the senior adm. & fin. manager
two months ago he told me :Fadi , we do encourage you and we know it’s hard and
we don’t want you to get frustrated. Our factory manager and the production
manager as well keep reminding me of this fact but still, sometimes it gets me
frustrated because I never worked in a place where people are resisting change
and trying their best to keep all the strings around their fingers this way. Last
week I went into this experience for the first time and it really touched me
inside. Again, I have to testify that my direct supervisors
are an exception because they fully understand what I’m going through and they’re
really behind the motive that keeps me working. I really appreciate it and I hope
I’d get to do something tangible at the end. The last visit of an expert in our type of industry proved to me I am good at what I do but on the other hand I have to work on my understanding of the process harder. It's true. I need to get a feel of things and change the way I look at them.This might develop into a serious matter if not contained. I will work on this starting next week. I also regret being out of manners in a situation that happened then :( Done ranting!
It's almost 4 months now and I do miss my family so much! Allah be3een .. So it’s just a couple months
to go and I will get a 10 days vacation and join my family in Amman.
My family are three, next time I see them they’ll be 4. Abdallah is coming to
this world after April 20th 2010 inshallah. Sometimes I say to myself: Is it
true I’d love him as much as I love Hala? I know it sounds silly but it always
comes to mind and especially when I shop for them here. Hala always wins over
Abdallh in 2 : 1 !!
The Japanese Mohammad (my brother) got married on January 30th and I managed to
watch 10 minutes live via Skype. I never imagined I won't be there because when
I myself got married, my two brothers were not there and I
really felt bad so I didn't want them to go through this if I can. By the way I
have 4 brothers and I happen to be number 2. Everything has a price at the end
and Mohammad will take his wife to Japan and perhaps next year I will get to
see them!!
I think I started to get used to living here at last. Things are OK. I've been
busy with my CNC machine for a month now and so far, things seem to be OK. It
was rough at the begining because the people I work with were really resisting
change and you can imagine how it feels when there's no real wing man to rely
on. They always look at you as an alien.
OK, the important stuff now:
Before I left MKD, my ex-employer told me: “Fadi, I know you, but always
remember you’re going there to have people working, not to win the elections so
take over and never forget this!” I didn’t believe it’s so but he was right!
When I first met the company president and the group’s senior admin. &
financial manager in Amman last year, I remember we were talking about technology
and knowhow transfer and they asked me to build capacity in people (meaning I’m
getting paid to do this) but now I realized it's going to be harder than what I
thought. Sometimes I work around it by doing a lot of talking and explain on
and on and on but on the other hand I always come to the conclusion that I
should give direct instructions, take over and do it the way I think it’s right
at the end. Technicians and engineers that look at me as an alien they
misunderstand it after all no matter what it seems and I sometimes I have to
switch to Fadi .
Below is the roughing phase of a Jordanian guy we had his laser scan captured
in 2004. The data was there on my backup I had from Jordan. I manipulated the
point cloud and had it tessellated on CATIA V5 then rebuilt the surfaces in KC
8.5 and decided to try and have it machined on my CMS CNC machine. The first image
is the roughing machining while the second is the part after finishing.
I like the result :)
Thanks God I will have Friday off tomorrow .. I didn't have a single day off
for 3 weeks now.
Take care all
Fadi

Hello ... I have a headache and ran out of Panadol!
Flashback .... Enough The Doors & Eric Clapton !!!
So it was late summer 2006 when I first heard this song of Fadel Shaker .. I came across it now by chance and it really brings so much sweet memories .. To me and to many others .. This song is really tagged to the big change that took over my life forever ..
Wow .. cold breeze .. Bold words .... Kitty cats ... Hopes and ambitions ... Anticipation of a new life .. tying the knot ... I can't think of a proper phrase to describe this ... My first encounter with Khalaf ... magic .. Pearla ....music.... karkars and beautiful flowers .... Smoke getting down .... Living on my own ... Wanting so bad .... Sacrifice .. OMG .... OMG .. CAD flowers ..... floating high ... Those beautiful eyes .... Hit the sofa .... Come over here .... Kitiies kitties .... Loosing control .....
It was a very hard time for me.. Mighty God only knows how hard and tough it was ...... but the reward was unbelievable ...
I miss you my friends ....I am also grateful to those special people who lived the moment with me .... I will never forget this .. Never! I even named my daughter 7ala to push this memory for ever.
I will never forget this .. Never ,,,,
Here it is ... sssssssssssssoooooooooo big :)

Hello all ..
I really miss my daughter and family! I can't wait till I get to Jordan for vacation!
Enjoy :)
You're just too marvelous, too marvelous for words
Like "glorious", "glamorous" and that old standby "amorous".
It's all too wonderful, I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough, I mean they just aren't swell enough.
You're much too much, and just too "very, very"
To ever be in Webster's Dictionary.
And so I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous - too marvelous for words.

Can't wait till end of April :)

Hello all..
Well , I don't play the guitar but I wish I brought here one of Ali's guitars with me before I move to KSA.
Yanbu city ( The Royal Commission) is full of really nice gardens with water and grass everywhere .. Something we don't have in Amman . There's that garden close to my houseand at night the view is absolutely amazing.
The song goes like this :
As I sit here and play
My Spanish guitar
Underneath the stars & kigha (1),
It passes the time away.
Each note I play
Is a memory of home,
The melodies they take me back there again
So as I sit here and play
On my old Spanish guitar,
Each note I play
Just sails away.
And it brings me closer
To those kitty cats
Oh, they''re so far away.
As I sit here and play
Underneath the stars & kigha,
It passes the time away
And brings me closer
To my Amman holiday.... (2)

Well ... Hello everybody ..
Almost 3 am now , can't sleep , "Planet of New Orleans" background , kitty cats and rainbows all I think about ... Ahlan was Sahlan bel jamee3
Hello kitty rings were not around at the time I proposed to Mrs K. , so on a win-situation now I will have Hello Kitty in blue on the right lower corner of my blog... Fair is fair
Planet of New Orleans is one of my favorites of all time music especially " In a bar they call the Saturn and her eyes of green .." part ...
I look around , the place doesn't seem dull anymore .. I think I finally managed to get over myself & log in to my blog to post a descent one.
Being away from my family and home isn't so bad as it may seem . I am getting the chance too look at my life from many other angels I hardly knew back in Jordan. I am not so sure I can say how much I accomplished since I arrived here 40 days ago.I continuously meet nice people and I still have time to get used to the whole situation the good way. My outlook to my new life and the different aspects of it is a bit more secure now ....No need to rush things.
I had an -out of the blue- meeting with the vice president of my company last week and he told me the company's interested in doing other types of products that can possibly penetrate the Saudi market in the future .. He asked me keep this in mind so this is what is keeping me motivated all the time these days.
On the other hand , I am almost done reading one research I am working on for 3 days now. Been away from doing strength of materials work for a long time now and this research involves a great deal of it because the person who did it actually has done this for his PHD research. I also have another to go through tomorrow. Next step si to work on the FEA analysis of my new design and have it checked using the same mathematical model the above mentioned researches developed for the same design. I am doing this as a homework that I ought to complete in order to get to better understand the engineering part behind my design before proposing it to the company.
I am keeping myself busy doing these kind of things these days and I tell you , it's not the easiest thing to do especially the doing FEA using CATIA V5 tool ... Hell , it's complex!!
It's almost 4 am now and I think I will try to get myself an hour sleep before Fajer prayer.
Take care everybody

Hello everybody ..
Speaking of codes , head & heart are moving in a whirligig action .. Turbulent one indeed... This masterpiece of Camel is a background music playing in the backside of my mind ..
I'm a bout to make a decision that will affect my family and personal lives in the next coming week . The positive kind of affect.
Strong emotions vivid through the air , cool breeze from the AC and bold feelings (1) : )
My family (kitty Hala and Ohoud) are pushing me for this decision and this is the sweetest thing indeed .. I will get back with a clarification soon
