Gilt laa akeed I'm imaging his voice. Then I see a head in the corner of my eye, I look up willa it IS him!! Min il9adma I just kept saying WHAT?! WHAAAT?! Chan agoom alimma and kiss him bas lail7een mu mistaw3iba ilwath3 LOL

Earlier that day, he called and said "James sa2alni shino abi 7ag il3asha ilyowm chan agoola abi picatta (what we usually order in "our" restaurant here in town). Gimt min ilnowm wana 7adi mishtiheeha. Roo7aw iklooha 3ind il3ayooza (what we call said restaurant) o 9awrooli ilpicatta o 7irooni." Hehe kisar kha6ri because I knew he really wants to be here! Wila athari ilakh dag to tell my mum what time he'll be here and stuff!

A couple of hours before he arrived, my gran called.

"Hala bnayti shlonkum? Garrat 3ainkum! Ha mita wi9al obooch?"

Wana I'm like "Ha? Umm hehe..ohwa mu hnee! Gal mara7 iyee halsina?"

Animal Care's Grooming Services

So I called them up a couple of days ago and made an appointment for my cat. I got a call this morning to say that they'll be there in half an hour.

Our cat scares really easily. She's afraid of the stepping one foot out of the gate, she's afraid of cars and she runs away from new people! So today wasn't exactly fun for her! She needs a a hair cut though because she'll start boiling if she's in the garden or sat in front of the window within a minute.

Before:




After:



She looks like a different cat! Right now I'm a bit depressed that she's not as cute as before LOL but common sense will kick in a bit because short hair is better for her in this heat!

Their grooming is more expensive than IVH's in Mina Abdullah (and I thought that was expensive). But I'd rather pay more and have them come to my house than spend 80 minutes driving to and from IVH! I love the IVH staff and doctors but I think we'll just take the cat there for check-ups and medical-related stuff only! Animal Care's got my vote for grooming.
