It was 9° this morning (at around 7:10am) AND the weather was AMAZING!! Normally, i would complain on how cold it was, and how my toes were freezing :p This morning on the other hand, the weather was superb!! I walked out of the house and there was a cool breeze, and I actually had to put my sunglasses on because the sun was so bright!!! It was the best winter day i had since…well, it’s the best winter day i’ve ever had!!! I know people in other parts of the globe that are freezing at the moment at temperatures like minus a billion degrees!!! But 9° in Kuwait, is COLD!! hehehe…
I was at the ‘Gold Souk‘ the other day (no, i wasn’t buying anything for myself, i’m not that rich :p) Mommy dearest went to buy a gift for one of her friends, so my grandmother and i tagged along. Numero uno, it was COLD, no, hang on, “cold” is an understatement! it was EXCRUCIATINGLY COLD! I’m not exaggerating when i say i couldn’t feel my knees!! I mean, they were moving, but i couldn’t feel’em :s Slightly veering off the subject :p Ok, so the ‘Gold Souk’. My mom took us to the little and i mean LITTLE jewellery thingie…It was TINY!! i mean, only the jeweller, my mom and grandmother could sit down, i was standing there, in this itsy bitsy jewellery standing, in the cold! And all of a sudden, while admiring all the “bling, bling” and feeling sorry for myself because i couldn’t afford anything :( I hate being broke…well even if i did have money, i still wouldn’t be able to afford anything :p hehehe…so admiring the jewellery (and the fish in the fish bowl—yes, they guy had a fish, i thought it was really nice actually–wow, i thought it was nice, and i’m terrified of fish!! hehehe) Ok i really veered off the subject this time!! Ok, let’s see, where was i, o, right–so i was standing there, and i got cramp in my left foot!! Now, it was cold, i was standing up, my mom was busy checking sparkly things, my grandmother nodding in approval and the jewller, well the jewller was actually feeding the fish (don’t ask) :p I just stood there like a tree, and the pain, O THE PAIN!! it was horrible!! then i stepped out of the store (yes, it took about half a step! hehe) anyways, so i walked around the Gold Souk, felt a little depressed, but hey, who wouldn’t?! hehe…5mins later (in the cold) the cramp disappeared…i went baq to the itsy bitsy jewellery store and there they were, a pair of diamond butterfly earrings and a diamond butterfly necklace. Everything around me stopped! Everything was quiet (well, maybe coz my mom, grandmother and the jeweller stopped talking for a nano-second :p) hehehe…The earrings and necklace sparkled soo much my eyes hurt! hehe…goodness, they probably cost over 500KD!!! I HATE BEING BROKE!!! *sigh*

Moral of the story: If you don’t have money, DON’T go to the ‘Gold Souk’!! Even if you’re being dragged there :p
