How i met Sary - the story :
Before moving to Edmonton, i was on facebook, then i went to my friends' profile to wish him happy birthday, and i noticed a guy called Sary did that before me, and he was in Edmonton's network. I asked him about how's life here and whatnot... and then informed him that i'll be coming here, that was almost 1 month before i came here.
After i came to Edmonton and had my internet installed, i went to this mall nearby (Capilano Mall) to buy a wireless internet router... and all of a sudden, i hear someone calling my name with a question mark "Nidal?" i freaked out and turned arround to see Sary standing there wondering if it was me. I have no idea how this happened, but he was there at his parents' restaurant, and saw me passing by. I had no idea it was their place, and he had no idea if it was me... but he tried. Of course he insisted on offering me a great meal (which his mother still do EVERY TIME i get to visit her even if I was just dropping by to say hi, she always makes me eat, and if she couldn't , she will make sure she give me a bag with plenty of food inside !).
How i met Romeo and so on...
I got my cell phone, and a "blonde" was the person who sold me my phone and plan and whatnot, and soon enough i wasn't able to make any phone calls because i was out of credits! I called the service provider to find out that she actually missed a couple of things, but i couldn't blame her, she was a good looking blond haha, and i still drop by to say hi every time i'm in the mall!
I was looking for car dealers, when Sary told me he knows a guy who's good in cars... and he's lebanese. I called Romeo for the first time (was trying my cell phone for the first time too), and he sounded like a 38 years old guy... he was busy and he told me i'll call you later... (i didn't know Romeo by then)...
Then i met Romeo at his work so we can check out a couple of cars... and he turned out to be a different person than i expected, he's younger than me, a funny and decent guy. And so far every time i call Romeo, he's always busy and he always calls me back hehe ...
Sary's engagement party was a blast, although i felt a little bit odd which is normal. (Picture above)I've been meeting a lot of people (Canadians, Lebanese, Indians, Chinese... it's Canada hey?), some of them are worth getting to know, and some of them are not even worth waisting your time, and i would like to apologize for being offensive but it's the truth, and it happened to everyone of us i guess... was it a long term friendship, relationship, or a single date/meeting...
So far, school is the second best thing I've been experiencing in this country, as for the first best thing, it's the friends I've made so far... i won't be mentioning any names on here, but they simply know they are great people. As for what I've been doing lately? Getting more involved in the "Canadian cuisine" lol , more shopping, studying, projects, etc...
We are starting a small business for web development and consultancy (Web Portrays), hopefully it would grow with time and i'm simply taking advantage of the opportunity i have here for now.
Symphony under the Sky, i was able to attend one of the open air concerts held by the Symphony orchestra at hawrelak park. I went there with Lynn's friends (Gloria and Roxanne) as Lynn couldn't make it,
too bad i didn't have my camera with me..
My first days at school were ... different, everything was so new to me... not to mention the transportation part that is actually wasting a LOT of time since i'm using the public transportation. As i started to go to the gym, i had to stop again since i can not afford spending two hours by bus everyday to get to the gym... I'd rather wait to get myself a car.
A good thing i'm enjoying is having access to the pianos' room at Concordia, i get to play once or twice a week, and I kinda feel a bit rusty which is bad, but i'm still trying to find a place to play, even if it was once a week and on weekdays.
2 weeks ago i've witnessed the biggest motorcycle gathering at Capilano, Sary and some other friends were there
Today i received a mail containing my Alberta ID, so now i don't have to carry around my passport with me everywhere! I managed to buy some books online which were three times less expensive than the school library which is awesome !
Anyway , enough with the story of my life, i will get back to daily blogging soon !
