New House

Thursday 30th of June, I could not sleep the night before .. I was thinking about this miserable life I am living. I went to watch TV at 2 am then I went back to bed but I did not sleep tell 5:30 am.

At 6:30 am ,I heard a hard knocking on my door. He was my Dad; I did not want to open the door I thought that he will give up soon and go away as usual. But he did not the knocking lasted for more than 15 min!

I gave up and I opened the door “ get ready we are moving” that all what he said. “but I thought that we will do that after days!!”. My father was in a hurry because my grandma was the most excited one to move.

I went with my Dad, my little bro and the maid. When we arrived to the new house, I saw workers moving our stuffs from the huge track. The hard work began when we started unpacking.. it was harder than packing! .. my grandma arrived later with my aunt and her son. My father came back with my other brother.

It was the first time where our family gather like this in this house .. I felt something really fresh in the air. After lunch Dad said that I will spend the night in the new house with my granny, little bro and the maid while he will stay in the old house with my other bro and I don’t know why … I heard them talking about going to Sharjah when I asked them, they say that they are not going..

I wanted to take a nap .. but it went too long from 4 to 7:30 pm. I wanted to turn on the lights of the house but I did not know. I called my Dad and I heard some noises … they went to Sharjah without taking me with them in stad of me they took my bro’s best friend

Last Day of Packing & Another Unpleasent Day

Do I really have to cry everyday? .. why is all that happening? I spent more than 2 hours with my father discussing my brother’s future college. We looked for good college which helps him to be a good pilot.

I looked for sites and sent some email for different colleges asking them about different stuffs. Then I went to the kitchen and finally finished packing there. My grandma called and asked me to pack the rest of her stuffs and I did. I spent the rest of the afternoon in the kitchen and in my room packing.

At night I sent an important email to one of the college as my father requested. Then troubles began again, when Dad arrived he saw me on the internet. He started shouting and saying I always waist time and never do something useful.

This time I could not handle it . I told him that I spent all my afternoon packing, then I sent emails including that important one. He did not say a thing but “you spend a lot of time on the internet”. “ask your sons, they spend there time on the internet too” … he said “no no they don’t”.

I looked at them, I wanted then to be honest and tell him that I am right but they did not. I could not handle it, I took my laptop and went to my room … I did not want them to see my tears. Now I am in the dark just writing my blog

2nd Day of Packing & My Dreams.

Tuesday 28th of June, I woke up today feeling uncomfortable .. it was 12:34 pm, I did not wake up as late as today since this summer holiday thing started. Then I remembered my dream last night it was about ZU again, I did not stop having dreams about the university since the last day I left. The dream was about walking around J building as usual.

I wanted to finish packing the stuffs in the kitchen but I needed more boxes. For that, my dad said that he will bring more at night. After having lunch, I watched some TV then I read a story in my laptop.

At 4 pm I lied on my bed without feeling it.. I slept. I had another dream about ZU. I went in a supermarket to buy some stuffs as I used to do in the old days for my friends in the bus.

I remember buying some cakes and chocolate. I saw Mr. P, I said his last name MR. H. when he saw me he run away!!!!Then I saw someone familiar Mr. Dn! Wearing a Deshdasha!! And talking in his cell phone .. he saw me but did not talk to me “I think he was busy”I said to myself. I looked for more things to buy. From all the people who I can see MR. G!!! with his guitar but he did not see me.

I saw Mr. Do who was surprised to see me and he was the only one who greeted me. I remember seeing building J at night which was amazing.
When I woke up it was dark 7:34 pm. I sat and then I felt my tears crossing my cheeks.. I am missing ZU a lot.

1st Day of Packing & My Brother's Results

Monday 27th of June, my aunt woke me up to take me home. Last night my Dad called and demanded me to go back home and start packing. I arrived home and I saw my bro M playing video games, he pretended like he did not see a thing. I went to my room and I started packing, and it was not easy thing to do.

I went to the kitchen to see how our maid packed the stuffs. I was shocked!! She packed them randomly which meant more work for me. I started packing them from the beginning the big plates first then the smaller but I did not finish packing them yet.

At 10:00 am I heard the big news .. high school results are out. My brother asked one of his friends to look for his result. After moments his friend called him saying that he passed with --%... which means Good.

My Dad called and asked about my bro’s result “I cant tell you .. let him tell you by himself” and M did. As usual my father did not like it and said that I was much better than him because I got 85% .. in that time my dad did not like it either, this Dad of mine will never change.

My little bro A did not stop teasing M .. A wrote the number --% on his own clothes. M said “when you pass I will write 55% in all my clothes” .. those two are so funny and I hope that they will teas me in the future as they used do in the past.

And The Nightmare Begins ... 2

When I arrived my aunt’s home.. I saw my grandma who was really angry saying “did you find any?”. I wanted to talk but I knew that it would be useless. After an hour my Dad call “what is with you?.. why do you go out everyday? .. its such a shame!!” I did not say a word then “you did a really bad job by getting B, next year everything will be harder and I hope that you will not do as bad as you did in CAP and math”

For a moment, I did not believe that my dad said that. I wanted to cry but I did not want him to hear me. I did not talk to anybody for the rest of the evening I started thinking… why did he said those things??.. I did all my best but I got B! ..

why don’t he allow me to go out?? I don’t do anything wrong.. I thought that he trusts me… besides he don’t have time to take me out.. then why don’t he allow me to go my aunt or maybe friends.. and why do my grandma have wrong ideas about me all the time?? Why? Why? Why??

I hate this feeling of being lonely, I knew that I will hate my holiday and I am doing that already. I just wish that everything will be fine in the next days..

I wanted to post this couple of days ago .. but i was not in the mood

And The Nightmare begins ...1

Right now I am listening to this song for Celine Dion “Just walk away” .. maybe because I am sad, bad mood or maybe I want to cry. I thought everything will be fine if I stayed in my aunt house but

In Wednesday, I went shopping with my aunt and her children. I bought some stuffs for the university – I cant wait to be there again--. I had a lot of fun with my cousins .. I thought everything was perfect…

My nightmare began in Thursday, my aunt wanted to buy some stuffs from UAQ especially from Lulu center and I went with her. We went out at 6 pm and at 8 pm my aunt called her husband to come and pick us up.

In the car, my aunt husband told us that my grandma is so mad because I went shopping again with my aunt. She said “why did she take Maryam with her? Is she trying to find a guy for her?” .. when I heard that I laughed but I did not like what she thought about me…

I Really Can Call it.. My Last Day in ZU Part2

I felt my tears running out from my eyes; I was really touched by that. When the show finished, the door was opened and it was Ms. J saying that there is an exam next door and we were making some noise. But there were more to come.

They gave me a gift in a red bag – I remember seeing that bag in the bus that day- and asked me to open it. It was covered with a really nice paper, and it was a nice pink watch!

I thanked and hugged everyone, that was the first time someone makes a surprise party for me!.. so thanks M, B, S, K,F, F, A

I thought that this day will end up with joy and fun. As usual, we went to the supermarket for the last time. It was 5:30 pm… when we were in there my friends and I started to buy stuffs for our friends. After moments, a guy came in and bought something and went out… then he came with other 2 guys! They started chatting and we could not buy the rest of our friends’ orders.We looked outside and we saw 3 cars and 2 bikes! .. we were scared that they may do something especially that there is no one around.

We carried our stuffs and went outside. There … they were more than 10 guys! .. I wanted to open the door of the bus but it was locked form inside!!.. I heard one guy saying “get inside get inside, it’s a shame to stay out!!”After getting , they followed us.. but they gave up when we reached Sharjah.

I know that I will miss those girls a lot but I hope to see them next year. My hardest moments in my life are when I say goodbye for people I like….all I am saying is farewell but not goodbye…

I Really Can Call it.. My Last Day in ZU Part1

20th of June, a day I will not forget it easily. I started it by my final math exam which was ok .. I hope that I will get a good mark in it. My exam was in room 028 my first class ever in ZU with Mr. G.

At 11:00 am, I went to see some teachers and say goodbye to them. at 12:00 pm, I went to see someone special with my friend to do the usual business. This special one gave me chocolate which is something I will not forget from that person.

It was 3 pm when I took the last signature from Mr. DB. When I was with him my friend M called me saying that I have to meet her in building N room 022!! About something related to Mr. Dn!

I knew that she just said that to make me come quickly. I went to her after finishing my business with Mr. DB. When I opened the door of the class, I saw my bus’s friends! .. I thought it maybe a farewell party for all of us. They wanted to turn on the projector but it was not working.

After 10 minutes it worked!! first we saw a very funny dance. Then they opened another thing, in this moment one of the girls covered my eyes with her hands. When she allowed me to see… I saw something written “to our friend Maryam” but I did not see all of it because the screen moved again and I saw my pictures when I was a child moving in attractive way and the song of “My Love” was in the background!

Night Ride with My Dad

Recently I did not have much time to talk with my dear Dad. Today at 7:00pm I heard the phone ringing and it was him asking if my young bro.. I told him that he went out, so he asked me to open the gate for him – the maid was with my granny in my aunt house-.

We started talking. .. I asked him to take me to the city center but he did not agree because it was late. But he agreed to take in a ride inside UAQ and to see our new house – better than nothing -. I got dressed and I went with him.

In the road we started talking about my university, my teachers, cars, my friends, his friends, our new house… etc. its so nice to talk with him about different stuffs, I don’t see him a lot lately because of my university…

We arrived to our new house, it was the first time I see it at night. We went inside and I became scared of the darkness.. I never allowed myself to let my Dad go out of my sight. I saw the new furniture of my room and it was really wonderful!! .. and the other furniture were nice too!!

He told me that many people asked the shopkeeper – near my new house - about the owner of the house but he did not know my Dad’s name .. I guess that means that people like it mashallah!!

When I went outside to get in the car, I saw a white car near the supermarket.. when it passed by me I was frozen to death!!.. It was moving slowly and the owner was about to open the window!!.. I was thinking “it would be better if I waited for my Dad!” .. then my Dad came and the driver of the car went quickly out of our sight – that was close!!!-

Now, I am all alone at home. Dad went out .. my brothers are with their friend and my granny is in my aunt house.. and I am here writing my blog.. my usual life..

My Second WORSE day in ZU...

I just want to an answer for that question … how could I fall in my math exam?? .… how could I get A then in the this one I get C!!!.... I just need an answer me… that mark does not reflect my real ability in Math!!.

The exam was easy… i felt so happy after I finished it but I expected to get A or maybe B but I never ever expect to get C…. my mistakes were so stupid.. I cant even believe that I made some terrible mistakes…

First of all I don’t like statistics even in high school my lowest marks were in this section of math… I don’t like to see a lot of numbers here and there because I get lost in them and I guess that what happen and coused me to lose 9 MARKS from my exam

Today is a really bad day and my CAP exam was terrible .. I don’t know whY!!!.. I was really studying for those exams but why don’t I get good marks.. I HAVE NO IDEA… I just wish that I will not face more bad news TODAY… this day reminded me with the day I fall the TOEFL for the second time – that was my worst day in ZU--

Not A Really Perfect Day...

I was so thrilled when I saw my math score today, I got 20/20 which means A!!!
All my classmates got high scores and they all passed including my friend M.. when Mr. S called my name, I was kinda nervous. He said “you did not do well”.. my heart was rushing but when I saw my result I just give him a big grin!

When we leave at five, we usually go to the supermarket near ZU. One of the girls write a list of things the others want and I take the list. Today, F was standing outside the bus waiting for me when I wanted to get out.. I saw a Ford car passing close.. I mean so close to our bus. one of the girls said that they take photos of us.

After they pass, I went quickly to the supermarket… and their car was there, I ignored it.. they did not leave me alone.. the driver drove his car slowly towered me and I felt as he was about to hit me.. I was scared to death.. the same thing happened with F who was trembling a lot!!

We did not find them when we went back to the bus.. we wished if we took their car’s number… BOYS WILL BE BOYS!

Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly!

Fatal frame is one of the video games which I really admire .. but I did not dare to play. I did not see part one of this game, I just saw part two.

It tells a story of a lost village, no one knows the real story of it. The story begins when the twin sisters Mio and Mayu find themselves in the lost village. Mio discovers that this village full of lost and suffering souls .. and there is a ritual .. if there is any twins boys or girls in the village then the older sister have to kill her younger.

I saw my brother playing it and I was deadly scared when he was fighting the ghosts with a camera!!.. at the weekend I did not have anything to do, I saw PS2 and start playing different games .. tell I saw that game Fatal Frame 2: Crimson butterfly.

I start playing.. my brother saw me playing it and he was shocked, he knew that I don’t like to play it.

I got inside the village.. the younger sister Mayu was scared so she put her hand on Mio shoulder .. in the screen you see a hand one Mio’s shoulder but then you see Mayu passing by her sister and that hand was still in its place .. Mio noticed it and when she looked back .. she did not find anything.- my eyes were open wide!-

I continued playing .. tell I heard “I don’t want to kill anymore” SUDDENLY! A flash of pictures moved around a woman her face was fully coved with her hair only one of her gray eyes were seen.. two bodied hanged by the neck.. a girl laughing loudly in a middle of dead bodies

I through all the away .. and I screemed .. my bro wanted to laugh but he did not, he just bring the back. I said no thanks “ I will not play it anymore” .. I heard they will make a movie of this game and I am the last one who will ever think of watching it..

Extremely Short Story Competition

Today I went with my friend S to building N because Mr. P was going to do a presentation about a competition. It called “Extremely short story”.

When we reached the meeting room .. we found only two girls, S was nervous, she told me that she feels like that when she go to class but I don’t really get it. After a while one of my friends Merry came and helped me to calm her down ..

Mr. P arrived and he was surprised not to see a lot of girls – we were about 10-. Before he start I was surprised to see Mr. G and Mr. B coming inside and then going out .. after moment the same thing happened with Mr. A and Mr. D.. I thought about it and I guessed that they may have a meeting – later today I knew I was right-.

Mr. P explained the competition for us.. he said that we have to write a story for 50 words exactly. I know that this thing will be so hard to do. He gave us some samples of last year which were quiet exciting to read. When he gave us some examples … he must mansion my name in them!!

I hope that me and S will do a good job in this completion and even if I will not win.. it will be a nice experience for me and I will be happy to be a part in it.

Unusual Morning!

“Maryam wake up!” ..I opened my eyes I saw – from all the people who I can see in the early morning- my friend M standing next to my bed!!.. “I am still dreaming!!”.. but then I knew it was not a dream!!.. M was in my room.. that means my bus is waiting outside!.. she told me that its 7!!!!... and said that they will go to pick the rest of the girls and then they will come back.

I got ready quickly and I find time to eat breakfast. It was 7:30 when we were out of UAQ. The girls were a little bit upset but they forgive me… it was my first time any way.

M said that when I did not answer her calls. One of the girls asked her to go inside because she knows her way in my home. She went inside and it was empty – like house of ghosts-. She saw a room with an open door and it was my room – I forget to close it in the night before… I was tired-.

She was not sure it was me, so she gave me another call. She was about to become deaf, the sound was so loud but I did not move even one bit. She came closer to make sure it was me.. then she saw sprigs come out of the cover. And you know the rest!

One of the girls was late for her class when her teacher Mr. J asked her why she said “ one of the girls was late…. Do you know Maryam E!”.. and Mr. J knew me immediately..
