Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggggh! I really ought to be in dreamland now. But that damn cricket chirps from our bathroom drives me insane. Somehow a chirpy little friend has found its way in our bathroom and we couldn't figure out where it is exactly. Just an incessant chirping echo. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!If he lives for another day, I'll burn down our house. Harrrumph!

I see that La Senza in Bahrain Mall has taken down their huge window ad presumably to put up a new collection window display. I feel a little sad, I have a reason to smile whenever I see that blonde dolled-up in a cute pink pajama. My hubby and I once saw a charming little girl around 5 years old, babbling non-stop and wildly gesticulating, looking up at the blonde in pajamas. I couldn't understand a word that she's saying and hubby likewise said she's speaking Arabic but it doesn't make sense. We both have a good laugh and decided insanity seems to hit it young these days. Some kids have imaginary friends and wild imaginations; this girl seems to have the latter but a more visible albeit non-talking friend. =))

What Happened????

I’m still in blog-hibernation-mode. I just heard news of a huge traffic accident just now involving a number of cars in the highway in Manama, near the street that will lead you to Bab Al Bahrain. I haven’t heard of any concrete news and there’s no way I can access a radio from here. For some reason I wanna know what exactly happened. Anybody here knows?

*btw, I think that highway is a tad small and full of traffic lights for a "highway". Bahrain's population is growing and the highway seems to have grown congested. the ride home used to be stress-free and quick. now the roads are clear only on friday mornings and when a foreign dignitary is being whisked to the airport.

Okay so we heard it wrong. The accident took place below the Seef bridge, involving three young men in a car and a 6-wheeler truck. One has died on the spot, two are seriously injured and the truck driver is on the run. Investigations are still underway.
