As promised here's the new doodle!
Like a typical Aries, I am always doing things non-stop. Problem
with that is once I get to
a point when I can't get go anymore,
I go into crash mode and
get sick....which basically means all I
want to do is sleep, and eat.
Ok I did go to the grocery store,
and the florist, but that's because my biggest pet peeve is when
my refrigerator is empty and there are no flowers in the vases.
Thank God my friends finally came into town and are not giving
me a chance to think that I'm tired or sick, largely due to the
fact that we're all going on a weekend getaway.
The week in Doha was very bazaar. I guess
there was a sand storm going on and the first few days we were
playing in Moc50 winds. What is it with me and the storms these
last couple months?
Between the storms in Israel and Doha, I
could seriously pitch my own show to the weather channel.
Anyways the good thing is that I found a way to play through it
and found a way to win, which is the most important thing I
guess. Let me just mention that the noise of the motorcycles
during the ceremony scared the living crap out of me....I hope
they showed my reaction when I saw them coming out.... it was
really priceless.
Because I have traveled a numerous amount of
miles this year to say the least, I have noticed a few
interesting things. You know how during overseas flights, you
have this flight path tv station that tells you where you're
going, etc. The only real thing I get from that is 'time to
destination', which you always fear is another 10 hours.
But
things like outside temperature (um who cares what the
temperature is outside when you're forty thousand feet above the
ground!), time at present position (so if you're over Alaska it
tells you the local time there?), or even how far above the
ground you are (let's face it even if we're at 10,000 ft above
the ground, instead of the normal 35,000, why would I want to
know that we're about to crash?) are pretty useless stats if you
ask me.
Have you ever noticed how macho immigration
officers seem to be? Instead of the How are you today, they
throw in a 'where are you coming from and why were you there'
type of sentence and give you that don't mess with me look. Well
in the last few months I have had the funniest experiences with
them. When we were coming back from Israel, the officer looks at
me and goes 'Giiiirl you know they have a direct flight from
Australia these days. No need to stop in Israel next time!'.
Yesterday the gentleman asked me if I won that tournament in
Doha and after I said yes he asked me where the prize was. I
said I actually don't know, I think they're sending it to my
house. He goes 'no no darling I mean the check. How much did you
receive for winning that one?'. After I proceeded to tell him
the amount he says "Man, I got the wrong job!" It was so funny!!
Oh I wanted to tell you about someone really
cool I met ...I went to this private pre-Grammy party before I
left to Doha and got a chance to see some really interesting
things to say the least hahaha. But the cutest girl I met was
the singer Sia.
I absolutely love her music and when she
introduced herself and said my name is Sia, I almost started
singing her song. She was so humble and bubbly....I guess
outgoing is the right word....ah anyways I was very excited!
Quote of the week is from the movie Anger
Management..... "sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin". I have been
using it quite a lot!
I am really excited about this week.... it's
finally Camilla's movie premier (10,000BC) and I can't wait to
go and support her. Highly recommend to go see it on
opening weekend!!
And of course after a few days off, I will
start training for a good week or so before I head to Palm
Springs. Sooo with that will leave you to it!
