Hallo!
Last year, same date was first experience of queen's day in the Netherlands. I had my orange wig on, I wore orange clothes. The gang here in Enschede wanted to go to 'Den Haag' to 'try something new' because in the previous years they've been to Amsterdam. Well, to be frank, here in Enschede too they celebrate but hey, you can't say NO to big cities yeah? Especially when you're new, and you've heard stuff about the place\celebration.
Let me say, the experience was pretty bad. We were disappointed coz there weren't any real celebrations in Den Haag. Didn't feel like queen's day at all. [Just to make it clear, Den haag is like 4 hours away from Enschede] So much time wasted... & after walking there for a while, we decided to take a train to Amsterdam [though it was really late!]
We Reached Amsterdam, it was 8.30 pm? We could only see the wastes on the streets. Party was over. [We somehow managed to participate in a party but yeah it was the last i guess].
I was however, happy with my wig.
Today, we were fully prepared. Going to Amsterdam straight away, no time to waste. Started off with a little group but when we were there, we were a huge group.
Partying, not really my thing. I figured today that I suffocate in crowded areas. I just enjoyed the company of the bunch we were hanging out with. Cracking jokes, taking pictures, and walking around. 5 hours were enough for me.
Came across lots' of people.. Seen different new costumes [Esp. Slender 'men' not MAN .. in orange]
Had a lovely dinner in an Egyptian restaurant [Reminded me of Oman a lot! <3 ]
back home.. exhausted!
These are some awesome memories :')
my unborn children. Your mom blogs... u can read this in the future.
Oh, I forgot to mention. Actually this year the queen doesn't want to be the queen anymore, so yeah her son became the king. It's supposed to be called king's day but I don't know everyone's saying queen's day!
I love Netherlands<3

MSN Messenger
You're familiar with the term? you recognize the two faceless emoticons and the butterflies?
you're from الطيبين [ the good ol' ones :D ]
I was thinking about how funny it is. What's app taking over everything eh?
There was a while when Msn Messenger was literally everything. People would tell each other when to meet online just to use the new tool and chat. I remember when it was plain, without display picture or so many emoticons.
Then people would fight to have the 'rare' but 'amazing' display pictures. After that, people would race to have the best nickname shape, and color.
I spent hours using it. Like all day long on msn, it was an addiction. It was the savior from boredom!
People would later install it in their phones because yeah, it was 'too cool'.
With the rise of Blackberry messenger, MSN became nothing. Now that there is whatsapp, BBM became nothing.
Skype took over MSN messenger, that's bad.
I still have an icon on my task bar with the blue and green guys from msn, sometimes when I clicked on it by mistake it would sign in and I would reminisce the good time I've spent on it, how addicted I am. I guess it's time to remove it from my task bar :c
This one is for MSN messenger. And to all those who used it once and were addicts.
peace.

My birthday is few days away. At such moments, when it comes to celebrating I wish I was in Oman because they have so many places that arrange good stuff for parties [and good food, no lie!].
I haven't figured yet how am I supposed to celebrate it, like should I reserve a hall, should I invite few people at my place and have a casual hang out or should I just do totally nothing about it.
Can't make up my mind. You see, the stress of school work is still there, roaming around my brain while I sit not knowing what to do next.
I miss being home, I know my family and friends would support me but here, I truly feel lonesome and not sure if people would actually show up or not, so the heck am I doing it right?!
I'm out of ideas, out of thoughts too. I don't know what to do.
I want it to be special, but how can I do that? hmph.
I know this is not much big of a deal, as many of you might think so, but I would love to do something that would refresh my brain for a while, know what I mean?
Have a goodnight x
