Jinx me
February 23, 2008
Remember when I said it seems I only post when I travel and when I get back ?
Well I shoulda just swallowed my words and stayed quiet.
I’m off again, and yes that’s why I’m posting coz I refuse to travel without an update and this is a way overdue update !!
Nevertheless, it something.
I got a new job :)
What were you expecting me to keep travelling the world forever ?
I gotta make some money you know. and the only thing that would stop me from my travelling mania is if I got a job to ground me !
I’m officially grounded. I swear if there was no order in this world I would have definitely contributed to it’s destruction!
I love my job, I love my team, I love life !
That’s about it..
Yep, since I’ve been back all I’ve been doing is working and then heading home to family and my bed.
So this is another spontaneous trip to Dubai.
I hear everyone is there now and it’s mega packed, I couldn’t care less to be honest.
As long as I’m with my family, friends and the kids… and ofcourse Mellia.. then I’m happy.
I’m happy..
Are you happy ?

Title: Everyone knows everyone
Scene I
Venu: my quiet little office at work
Time: sometime yesterday just a bit before end of work
PPL: Me & HE
*Ring Ring*
*Ring Ring*
Me: Hello
HE: Hello, may I speak to DiiGMaa please.
Me: This is she.
HE: Oh I didn’t realize it’s a direct line.
Me: Well it’s not but I picked up the line randomly, how may I help you ?
HE: My name is So Al-So and I’m calling from Company Y.
Me: I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name.
HE: So Al-So.
Me: Wilni3im (thinking to myself I’ve come across that name)
Me: and what was the Company, my apologies your voice is distant ? (genuinely I couldn’t hear)
HE: Y
Me: aaahh yes I think I’ve approached you guys before for a project I had. (I had but it was with another person)
HE: Yeah most likely, but this is the first time I call you and just wanted to let you know about our services and I shall be sending you an email with more details.
Me: That’s great, thank you.
HE: Hope we can help you further with what you require and let me know if you are interested in any of the services.
Me: Will do, Thank you.
HE: Good Bye.
Me: Bye.
Scene II
- DiiGMaa thinking to herself:
Jeez I know that name.. how ? I’m sure I know that name !!
Scene III
- Facebooking later that day:
Went to a friends profile to leave a comment on his wall.. and lo and behold there he was.. So Al-So !! he had commented on my friends wall too.. I think to myself “ahaa there you go DiiGMaa !! I knew I had read/heard that name before”
Scene IV
- Is it or isn’t it HE ?
I figure, what are the odds that I just spoke to this person and now he’s commenting on my friends profile the same time I wanted to comment.. maybe it’s not him.. maybe same name.. so I click on his profile (HE if you’re reading this I swear I wasn’t trying to dig up on your info.. I was just reassuring myself that you’re the same HE).. and HE had listed the same Company Y so I am certain it’s him.
I smile and continue facebooking.
Scene V:
- I know you know who I know we know I don’t know !
After replying msges and commenting on walls and poking ppl to annoyance.. I decide it’s past bedtime and start closing the tabs and shutting down.. when I got to HE’s page, just before I closed the tab, my eye caught a glimpse of friends we have in common.. and there were quite a few.. and some were high-school friends, some were friends I met through friends and some were bloggers.. yep it turns out HE is also a blogger..
Curtains
And that my friends..
is how small this world is.. and Kuwait is a DiiGMaa too :P
HE: I don’t know your blog.. I just know you are a blogger.. so if you come across this post.. it was nice talking to you and you displayed excellent professionalism.. all the best :)
6 degrees of separation ?
More like 1 here in kuwait :)
