My uncle buried in the holy city of Qum, Iran, however, the real funeral was taking place here in Hassa. In fact, it was a great funeral for a great man. I was trying very hard not to cry in front of my cousin who lost his father. I almost done that, but when I saw my grandmother, I could not help it and cried on her shoulder. I cried. I’m exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically.

Because my dad was not fully recovered, as he just went out of hospital couple of days ago, I was in charge for many positions. I was mainly responsible for the logistic side of the funeral like food, drinks and transportation. In addition to that, I had other little jobs to help making everything goes smoothly.

Thank God, it went well. I’m back to Riyadh now to start my second week of school. I was lucky to be the last one who took photos of my uncle. He suggested the family should gather every once in awhile, so we went on a picnic and I took these photos, and it was the last time I saw him. Maybe they look dark and unclear, but for me, they are priceless.

I just knew my uncle died while he is in Iran. I won’t be blogging for couple of days. I’m sorry.

It took me more than four hours, and more than five kilometers of walking on my thin feet to make a little change on my holy schedule.

When it comes to registration system and use of technology, KSU is living in pre-historic time. While KFUPM students do all the dirty work without even get their hands dirty using the internet, we, KSU students, have to sink in mud to do anything.

And don’t be fooled that the KFUPM website dosen’t look fancy, because under this ugly interface a powerful, useful system helps the students to do the work easily and early.

I’m pissed, I’m frustrated, I’m tired, and I can’t feel my legs anymore.

For you who loved the Falafel King game, here’s another flash game that challenges you to throw balls of papers into a wastepaper basket. This game was originally made by the BBC to promote their comedy series The Office. I hope you like it.

I want you to know that I’ll be back to school on Saturday, so I’m not going to keep on blogging on the same regular semi-daily basis the way I was doing in the past two months.

The blogging time will be on the weekends [Wednesdays, Thursdays]. Not because I’ll be all busy with studying in the middle of the week or anything, but mainly because there is no Internet connection in my place in Riyadh.

I will try to work on this Internet connection thing, but meanwhile, I may be able to post some stuff during the week days if I had the chance to do so. I still cannot understand why the university is not providing the students dorm with Internet connection!

I wrote about Saudi women driving cars abroad last month, well, not anymore. The Traffic Department has issued a law forbidding the issue of international driving licenses to all women in the Kingdom.

Now I know not only mobile phones had given nicknames by Saudis, TV shows got their nicknames too! I know that a lot of people in Arab World were scared of this whole “Reality TV” thing, but I never thought this is going this far.

The Islamists in Saudi Arabia decided to call Star Academy, the reality TV show broadcasted by LBC, the Satan Academy. Why? Because they think this TV show was made by the evil West to make Muslims give up their religion and their ethics!

I know this is just ridiculous, but the problem is that there are thousands of people here who believe this crap. A young man told Asharq Al-Awsat that he is sure that this reality TV shows are part of a Zionist conspiracy since 1935! Other Islamists even say that this TV show is the reason of the terrorist attacks!

That’s the problem with Islamists here. They always try to make people believe that there are some conspiracy against Islam and that ever freaking little thing is a threat to them. I wish they could leave Islam to defend itself and take some time to treat their sick minds.
