A farewell to the Kingdom...

So, exactly a month after I post after getting to college, here I am posting...again. This time however, I'm not in the CC of NIT Calicut. I'm back home in Saudi Arabia :D. Yeah that's right, since Aramco reimburses tickets for me I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and come here for a few days. And to tell you the truth, it's great to be back! I was able to do some things here which I haven't done here before, like try an Applebee's Cowboy Burger(beef heaven), easily the best burger I've ever had. I also ate the ol' favourite.... KFC(chicken heaven)...lol.

I visited my school here and met all of my old teachers, which was great. Some of them even have kids who they're planning to send to NIT-C. *devilish smile* Our school got a new vice-principal, a dude who comes from an Army background, and he's looking to discipline the school. Hmm...I kinda hope that happens, cuz our school is really going to the dogs when it comes to discipline.

I went to Rashid Mall yesterday with Naimul and Sharbeen. There's a new extension to Rashid mall, and a frickin' FOOTLOCKER opened there. I was pretty excited going into the shop but my excitement died down like a matchstick in the Niagara Falls when I saw that pretty much all the shoes were overpriced. A Quiksilver shop opened too. We ate from Burger King over there and then ice-cream from Baskin Robbins. Naimul rode the rodeo again, lol. And then we all walked home and me 'n' Sherb checked out Lifestylez, which isn't lying about it's discount.

So ...THIS, will actually be my last time posting from Saudi Arabia. It's been 18 years over here, and I dunno how I'll feel once I get back to India. The memories, will, of course, live on forever, and I guess I have to feel lucky to live in an age of fast communication and thank God that a lot of my friends are in the same college as I am.

Hopefully and Inshallah, I'll be able to visit here someday again and roam the streets of Al-Khobar. *cue badass ranger type music* LOL!!!
