Hello! It's already 2012, once again HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well I spent my New Year's Eve with K, A and H at a nice party in a bar in Zamalek. At first we were shocked to find so many kids but then it was too late for us to go anywhere else and we vowed we're going to have fun no matter what! And so we did! We enjoyed every minute of it; and before leaving the place, we passed by another bar close to it to wish our good friend "S" the bar tender a happy new year! It was so random, the 4 of us just walked into the bar, said hello to S and left the same minute, people were like what the hell? Haha. After that, we after partied in a place in Maadi, but let us just say that I should be more careful next time *hides.*
Now, guess what we did the next day? We had a Herring (Renga) meal! A made me and K some yummy Herring mixed with tomatoes, tehina, onions and a twist of lemon.
It may look unappealing but trust me the taste was delicious! We had alongside of that spring onions (basal akhdar) and it's easy to conclude that I had bad breathe for 2 days straight. Good thing I am not dating anyone at the moment :D
About Friends From The Past
You know how time and distance makes u lose track of good old friends from the past? This is quiet sad actually because these are your truest friends. They know u from core to surface. And now good old friends have somehow transformed into friends on your facebook list whom u never speak to and rarely ever check their profiles. You even chose not to post on their walls or send them private message because you've been away for so long that you don't know where to start, and there is this buried shame inside of you that you can not get rid of but it keeps growing and shockingly instead of it being the drive for u to speak up, it pushes you further away.
I realized this just last night when I had a little chat with one of my good old friends Ahmed Ayyash. What had happened? He is the same old interesting person, who has so much love and passion inside his heart. Why did we lose touch? I mean if I hadn't known Ayyash I'd have definitely wanted to be his friend if I met him somewhere. We had a fun conversation, I must say I wasn't in my best shape last night but just by talking to him and even though he lives miles apart I felt his hand tap on my shoulder and heard his voice assuring me that everything was going to be ok.
And before I go, here's a heartfelt thank you, to all my friends. Sometimes God takes away things and replaces them with even better things. And whether I've known u for years or just recently, you've been such faithful friends. Each and every one of you contributed to my own personal growth. Thank u for making hard times seem easier, I don't know what I'd have done without you. I only wish to be as helpful as you've been to me. Thank God for
good friends and thank u for being part of my life, please don't disappear.

I mean look at the photo above, without saying a word (and that was at the very beginning of the conversation) he immediately sensed that I was not ok. Who can know or feel that if it weren't someone from very close to you? Someone you grew up with, who knows u inside out. Someone who was around u during the times of innocence, where nobody really wanted anything from anybody except true friendship. *Sigh* I know we live in a fast world, but is it really that fast that we have no time to look back for a second and remember our friends from the past? Shame.
How confidence boosting was our chat, how mood lifting, how spirit inspiring! People from your past know what you used to dream of, they know your talents, they simply believe in you and they become so proud every time you step foot towards something you've always wanted to do, in my case: singing. Thank you Ayyash for this. And thanks a million more times for not being anything close to bitter while chatting to me, given it has been years since we last spoke. Thank you for not blaming me or pointing fingers at me. Thank you for being so warm and welcoming. You made me feel like I was sipping coffee with you just a few days ago.
To all my friends back in AD, Jermine, Amira, Malaak, Nahed, Rawan, Khaled, Dinah and I know I'll forget names but u know who u are and u know what u mean to me. I miss u all so much. And I would like us to keep in touch more often. And to all my friends in Egypt as well, and all around the world if u are reading this, come on drop me a line! I'll be so happy to hear from you.
good friends and thank u for being part of my life, please don't disappear.
Lots of love,
Su
