The official opening of Nikki Tams! 

8TH JUNE 2006....

It really is today this time, honestly.

Well at least I catch up with the gen, I know some people who haven't blogged since the ship wreck at Sharjah on 10th April! :o)

Thursday

Last Thursday was the greatly anticipated first Cheese Night in over a year. For all those at home a cheese night is parmasan pop! ie 70's, 80's and anything cheesy! I was supposed to be getting a cheesy oscar for being a top spreader of cheese! But the oscars were not engraved on time. Just as well, there was no f*&^%$ way I was going to make a speech in front of the monster crowd there! I am crap at speeches anyway, couldn't thank my mam and dad for being cheesy, that's my choice, and never cry so not much else to do except what Nikki does best and I wrote an Ode to the DJ Tim Cheddar. May read it out next time, if its a normal night!

Missed out on George's leaving karaoke at Dave's house because though I had to get the cheese oscar - shame. What a decision. Speech or sing. Mmmm. My life is never dull.

Anyway, I had a wee addition to the house today which had to be christened before we went to the Cheese night. Yep, Nikki Tam's is officially open. Courtesy of George and Tracey who are leaving and going back to the UK, I now have my first bar. May Gawd bless all who drink in her. Please note the only possible problem is that you have to get your own beer/vodka/whiskey scooter home from karama afterwards. The management takes no responsibility in assuring the return home journey of any visitors. And you will be kicked out after breakfast whether your taxi has arrived or not.

So girls came round for a wee celebratory opening drink and then off to the Malecon for cheese. (we have photos if Becki will only send them to me!). We didn't dress up as school girls this time as we were just too sexy and didn't want to scare the children. Just as well. It was rammed! It took me 30 mins to get served and it was soooo busy you couldn't even get a boogie. Very disappointed, we were so looking forward to a cheesy laugh, but didn't plan on no drinks coz couldn't get served, no dancing coz couldn't move and no talent coz too rammed to see anyone! Well except a few cuties in shorts, caps and school ties, the only problem was they still fitted so probably only stopped wearing them last year....and that was just the girls.... nah, joke, behave children, I managed to squish that rumour last year, let's not go there again!

Too hot to care what cuties were there anyway so we gave up after queueing for our second drink and taking 40 MINUTES at the bar (seriously!) and went to Double Decker. Sorry Tim but if you want us back you need a bigger venue for us oldies who like the taste of alcohol on a Thursday and want to strut our stuff on the dance floor with some breathing space.

So then it was back to Nikki Tam's where the booze is free and flowing and the dancefloor is empty and the music is whatever you choose, and how cheesy you want it!

Cooked brekkie again and chucked all out at 6am. Its someone elses turn to entertain and cook tonight, I mean this morning! I am having a night off. Yeah right, I can hear you all laughing from here....

Friday
The Vampire, SQ and I went to Barzar for V's friends birthday. It was a change, but won't rush back on a Friday. Not very busy. Home by midnight to eat the left over Sin Punjab I had ordered earlier. No wonder I am not losing any weight, there must be a million calories in it. Oh well, you have to have a little of what you like now and again or life is not worth living.

Saturday
I went just to check (!) and yep, NO ladies day. Totally pissed off. Went home in the huff and cooked lots of crap to do me the week and then slobbed again. Well, did some work, but not much. I need to find a movies partner. I want to start going to the movies on Saturday nights. Any takers?

This week at work has been manic again. Very glad its Thursday. No plans for tonight yet, will see who is doing what later. Tomorrow going to the ballet and looking forward to that.

ONE WEEK TO GO!!! Can't tell you what for coz its a surprise, but nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO!!! Those who know hee hee, those who don't wait and see!

What did I learn this week?

1/ Just when you think you can't get any busier, yep, you get busier.
2/ Apparently I look like a rock chick this week. Plus two separate people have told me I look like I just got off a motor bike! Nice. The humidity is not helping but I am truly desperate for a hair cut! Gill!!!! Please hurry back. I will be getting the straighteners out tonight for sure.
3/ If you want real cheese, you have to make it happen yourself at home! Home made is always best anyway....
4/ I have no friends who like going to the beach.
5/ I have no friends who like going to the movies.
6/ I need to make more new friends.
7/ I have a secret, ONE WEEK TO GO.....!!

If you can't be good this weekend, be bad and enjoy it.

8TH JUNE 2006....

1ST JUNE 2006.....

Wicked week! Non stop! But Inner feng shui very balanced. Worked so hard that of course I had to party just as hard to keep my inner balance. Well hey, it works for me.

Thursday
Went straight from work to a BNI network evening at Hilton. Nice evening. All the members are cool (well, most of them) but a bit BNI'd out this week now. It's like having two jobs! Seriously. And as I'm already doing two jobs (still no sales exec) effectively this wee supergirl is juggling three jobs at moment. I need to party harder (possible?).

Then met up with girls at Boston. Haven't been there a while. Usual fun and frolicks and usual crap and carry ons too. Met a few oldies haven't seen a while and got chatted up by yet another 20-something. Sigh.

Anyway, a few jamp on our band wagon and came for final one-for-road-on-way-home to Rock Bottoms. I have always said it was appropriately named.

Surprise surprise met up with our neighbours again. I think they are starting to secretly wait there for us coz they know I have a free bar after hours! Anyway they were right.

Everyone piled back to mine but when we got to my building World War III had errupted from my other neighbours house! It was chaos. And wait for it, it was the girls fighting. We went ahead with our wee shindig but spent the next few hours answering the door bell to various drinken people wanting to join our party. Entry was strictly invitation only so we continued and ignored them. My building is quite exciting, two police 4-wheels, ambulance and various onlookers provided a good show in between dancing and drinking!

Full cooked breakfast was served at 6am before I kicked out the last neighbour. Good night had by all. The Al Manzel percussion band is improving, but if anyone is going to Sri Lanka soon we need more shakers please!

Died a slow death on Friday and had a duvet day watching the 24. finished up to episode 12 and don't have any more so if ANYONE OUT THERE has the rest of the series PLEASE let me borrow it!

Went to beach on Saturday, last ladies day at Jumeirah Beach Park. Gutted. Been going there every Sat since I came back in 2000. Will miss it a lot. Now if i want to go to beach on a Saturday I either have to: find someone to go with, find a spot where I won't get harrassed by jerking off workers, put up with being oggled at by Russians in speedos (they love big bums), hold my tummy in beside tall slim Emirates girls or pay 100 Dhs for a spot of sand. Any ideas??

Sunday back to the grindstone and had my first Caledonian Society Committee meeting at night time in Double Deckers. Couldn't really hear what each other was saying as the music was so loud and there were only about 20 people in there. Anyway, nodded a lot and luckily came away with only a few duties. One of which is to help build up numbers again so be prepared to part with the grand sum of 50 Dhs to join before the next Caley Ball in November.

So what did I learn this week.....

Get real. Its not really the 1st June its the 8th and whatever I learned the week from 25th May to 1st June part of my life now and old news.

And so to next week, I mean this week. Mmm whatever, read the next blog.
