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.

Hello all ...

So now I will be father to kitty 7al and baby Abdullah : )

Can't wait till end of April :)

Thanks God Al Mighty

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

Hello all ...


This is about a friend of mine who's going through a similar experience right now ..

Worth documenting!!

Hello ..

Yesterday I woke up with a migraine that at the end I had to leave early and get my magical 1.5 hour sleep that always worked for me in such times ... You know , you wake up smiling feeling no headache and say "thanks God" for such a blessing .. This is the case for so many , but for me , there's more ... I usually get something more than that that I can't explain in proper words . Something like if my brain was polished! I can't measure that in units but you know , sleeping just rubs the part where I keep my memories in brain ...

The above is important because today, as a consequence to fresh memory at a depth of 10 microns below old brain layer, I remembered what Reema {The star fish -my cute niece who will drive her grand father nuts how she gives her 1 month old brother in addition to my 1 year old daughter beautiful sweet kitty-like bella (Halla- 7ala) hard times .. Poor Ra3ed (Thunder) , the 1 month old heir apparent prince is helpless when it comes to Reema fun- time- while killer 7ala bites and uses hands to defend herself and sometimes this hurt indeed } said on Wednesday and decided to post here .. We were in the car in our way back from the dentist when I asked her about the types of duck she knows. She answered that duck is duck so only one type is there .. The I asked her "All duck fly"? She said NO .. Then I replied back : Then which fly and which don't? The answer was way smarter than I expected: DUCK THAT ARE ALIVE THEY FLY , THE DEAD DON'T!!!

If you go down below the polished 10 microns in brain layer , say like 50 microns .. you get this : Back in 1997 , maybe summer , maybe spring .. Not so sure , I remember I used to exercise applied meaningless weird mathematics for the advanced Advanced Engineering Math course at college .. And the best I could do this with him was old good fellow Abed (Now Dr. Abdel Hadi ) ... So this leads to this and that so I decided to have a look at a paper named Multiple Sliding and Rolling Contact Dynamics for a
Flexible Rotor/Magnetic Bearing System I found at my friend's website ...
The easiest part was reading about Active Magnetic Bearings on the wikipedia.com website in order to know what they are then to jump to the paper .. I did that and it went pretty fine , but when I moved on to the experiment part and the system modeling part and those linear differential equations and the critical speeds the shaft config. has I realized I need more than a 4 hour migraine experience in order to revive those long time dead cells that once dealt with something like that before ... They mentioned the critical speeds in HZ range ... And they mentioned that like "The sun shines everyday" argument while it took us hard times to calculate that at college days especially witht that so demanding really complicated lecturer we had at the time .... He understood nothing but to bounce each one of us on the rim of being dump or OK-acceptable criteria he had in mind!!!

Anyways , I will have a black coffee for the toast of good 50 micron memories of my friend Abed and try to skip college memories ...

I wonder why I got no comments for my past post .. Golden blogging days are over .

So long everybody

Hello everybody ..

Yes it's been my second anniversary last week which is a week apart from my daughter Hala birthday which was on Friday - June 12th .

Posting this in my blog at Jeeran brings a lot of sweet memories that I will cherish as long as I'm alive. This place was always my little corner where I keep a track of all memories there .. I used this blog to the max when I wanted to propose to to Ohoud 3 years back and this alone is the strongest argument you get to keep being a neighbour as Jeeran say : )

Of course I said "The Strongest Argument" but this doesn't mean it's the only argument I have .. People here are so special , I remember the sincere feelings I touched from everybody who read my blog at different occasions .. Starting when I defeated los locos through the time I got maried and many many other occasions . Provided that I witnessed Jeeran achievements through out being a phsycial neighbour to them at iPark to becoming a leading Arab Portal online .. Mashallah.

So ... ??

OK , the images below are few of the B'day little gathering we had at home .. You can check others at Picasa web albums here .

Ohoud , Me & Hala



Me & Hala



Ofcourse , No Birthday is complete without the star fish Reema


Hello Kitty cake


Me & Mohammad Asfour (Hala Uncle) & Hala



Mohammad Asfour , Sweet Leen ( Moh. Daughter) , Reema , Hala & my Father In Law


Of course , Hala fights for her Grand mother and no kitty can get a 5 minutes sneak when she's around.

Enjoy : )

By the way , I wish I had more time to get engaged in more activity here ... This says that Caller who spends 5 -8 hours blogging everyday will love this one with a message : We got to move some microwave ovens , we got to move these color TV's , refrigerators ... Nas ta3eeba .. Truckers blog these days ; )

Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton





The last is for most valued .. We'll work on this at home :

Hello ..

Been checking the Jeeran.com new beta version then switched to the old one and hit the search button for the word FADI ..

The one and only me ;)

Take care everybody

Hello all ..

On Friday we went to Irbid to enjoy the nice weather and a good outdoor activity ..

It was a great time for everybody and baby Hala had a smile from ear to ear ..

This is one taken then : )

From Picnic At Kufor-Awan

Hello everybody ..

i really enjoyed the event of Blogging Arabia that was held on Amman Municipality on Thursday Feb. 19th ...

Dr. Adel Iskandar presented a broader idea about blogging in the Arab world and spotted a light on its other dimensions how it creates a new form of local communities among bloggers in Jordan and the rest of the world ...

Anybody interested in the session can watch it full here .

Hello all .. I know this sounds awkward and I am sure many will disagree but I think our Arab and Islamic nation is in a rock-bottomed situation.

People all around the globe watched the killing of thousands in Gaza and watched us Arabs fail to agree on basic plan to stop Israel ... This is typical as we all know , but what really hurt even more than the killing (because this is what started fire in the first place) is watching the Palestinians behind the scenes disagree and apparently( but I am sure of it!!) it's all about the money and nothing else!!!

I want peace!

Well .. Today I figured out that I issued a drawing that has a damn centerline set wrong .. You know how it feels when you find out a whole piece machined to the wrong dimensions because I simply designed it on turbo mode!!!! All in all , they walk in and tell me when it's already too late and about to be assembled in place!!! Solve it Mr. Problem solver !!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everybody..

Well, it's funny why I choose this for a title : Actually I was tuning to the Monty Norman Orchestra - James Bond Theme (from Dr. No Movie .. You remember that movie from 1962, watch MBC Action every Friday Night) and Thunder ball song of Tom Jones started playing in my head ! Fasting with no morning coffee is really tough!!!

I feel like posting to my blog but I don't know what to talk about .. Believe me ..

* ) I never mentioned that one of the main reasons I like James Bond Movies is crocodiles.. Did I ? I am fond of them and there are many of them in JB movies.

**) If I were Caller or Wonders, I would never run out of something to talk about .. Mashallah 3aleihom each one of them is mo3allema in blogging.. Allahoma la 7asad ..
There's no special reason why they came to my mind.. May be I just nag ! Zaman Lady Writer used to beat them all but due to technical problems it seems she is blogging no more....

***) Ramadan is going OK .. thirst is tough!!! Indeed.

+) This is a classified photo Ohood caught for 7ala showing an early smile .. I later had it printed out and hanging in the living room .

++) This one is different.. We were driving in the car when Ohood said: Look at 7ala , wondering !!! I took this one .

+++) Shadi & Mohammad they left last week. It takes some time to get over this .. Like always.

-) Ok … I wanted to post about this a month ago .. I was waiting on my turn at the barber shop when my eyes caught this article in a magazine maybe a year or more old … The key word dire strait caught my eyes and I was excited to learn what does the Palestinian Economy has to do with my favorite band .. It turned out the person who edited and the article is a Dire Straits fan like me!!

Hello everybody .. Wallahy I missed yo all .. I am serious! The very irreversible part of me is the one to blame for leaving this place inactive for a long time .. Although I resisted with all my might !!!

Been wondering around blogs these days and read some of what my friends been up to lately and decided to invite myself to answer an indirect tag from Caller coz she did mention my name their .. And it has something to do with music ;)

I will modify some of the questions for my sake :) ... Provided I am at work now and a small portion of my play list exists in here.

Hello ...

Tomorrow is my first anniversary ...

This is for you Ohood!

Dear fellows , of course this is not Mr. K in the video clip of Joe Dassin!

Below is the VC and the translation of the lyrics , please pardon my poor French!

Si tu n'existait pas : And if you don't exist
Dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais :Tell me why do I exist?

Pour trainer dans un monde sans toi : For being in a world without you
Sans espoir et sans regret : Without hope and without regret

Et si tu n'existais pas :And if you don't pas
J'essaierais d'inventer l'amour : I would've tried to invent love
Comme un peintre qui voit sous ses doigts : Just like a painter who uses his fingers
Naitre les couleurs du jour : to create colors of the day
Et qui n'en revient pas :but be sure that they will never have life

Et si tu n'existais pas : And if you don't exist
Dis-moi pour qui j'existerais : Tell me for who do I exist?
Des passantes endormies dans mes bras:Do I exist for strangers to spend time in my arms?
Que je n'aimerais jamais : who I don't even like!
Et si tu n'existais pas :And if you don't exist
Je ne serais qu'un point de plui :I would've been like a droplet of rain
Dans ce monde qui vient et qui va : In this world that comes and goes
Je me sentirais perdu: I would've been lost
J'aurais besoin de toi : because I really need you

Et si tu n'existais pas : And if you don't exist pas
Dis-moi comment j'existerais : Tell me how would I exist?
Je pourrais faire semblant d'etre moi : I would've pretended to be me
Mais je ne serais pas vrai : But I wouldn't have been true at all

Et si tu n'existais pas : And if you don't exist
Je crois que je l'aurais trouve :I think I would've found
Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi : The secret of life and answers for
Simplement pour te crĘer: creating you
Et pour te regarder : In order to have you and keep looking at you

Hello everybody ..

Me & Mrs. K are working on 7ala chocolate these days because she's expected to take her first breathe any time these coming 2-3 weeks :)

Well, OK , my share was getting the ingredient , the decoration and choco-works were Mrs K effort :)

Nice :)





This post is best viewed while tuning to "The Coffee Song" of Frank Sinatra ... Coffee -Chocolate-Nicotine .... The guy was ahead of time! This one was recorded in 1946!

The best part in this song is "they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil :) "


Take care everybody
