To me the worst feeling is to expect something and it doesn't happen for any reason !!
My fiance has arrived to Cairo yesterday night and I couldn't go to pick her up because I had some things to do in Alex . But by coincidence on Monday i knew that I had to attend meetings in Cairo on Wednesday and Thursday , which was a very good coincidence otherwise I wouldn't be able to see her before Friday !! . So I prepared myself Tuesday evening and left Alex Wednesday (today)early morning to go attend my meeting in 6th October factories .
suddenly while driving I got a phone call from walid my colleague at work who left Alex 30 mins before me , asking me to park in Mc donald's on the high way due to heavy fog and bad weather .
And when I arrived there they told me that the meeting has been postponed and we have to get back to Alex as per Unilever's safety policy :(( At this moment I felt darkness around , I felt exactly like a baby who doesn't want to go back to school . But hehehe..... I won't give up and will leave to Cairo today coz i still have a meeting tomorrow .
It's a really bad feeling when u feel that the person u love is finally a few Kms away from u but u still can't reach her for any reason ! :'(

About me
Well it is a quiet long story but I'll go for it .....
I am a 25 years old Egyptian guy, I was born in 1980 in Libya but I actually never saw it as I left there with my parents 1 year after my birth . My father used to work for the UN there .
Since 1981 till 1986 we were living in our country , Egypt , precisely in Alex where I started my scholar "career" in Kinder garden class .
In 1986, I was 6 years old , my dad had a good work opportunity in an African country called "Cote D'ivoire" or Ivory coast in English . And he decided to take all the family with him ...... But unexpectedly we lived there for around 14 years .
14 years in a completely different culture with no comparison with Egypt where i lived only 5 years ..... even the color of people were different (by the way i love black african people) . I remember the first time we went there i was afraid of people and one day i asked my mum, " why all people here are burned ?" and when my dad asked me why are you afraid of them i said " at night i can't see anybody... i only see eyes and white teeth around me :))))" But finally i ended up to really love them and feel that i was really one of them ..... they always used to tell me "u r egyptian... so u r african ..... regardless ur skin color we r brothers "
So i lived there till i finished my french high school degree " Baccalaureat" in 1999 and here comes the big catastrophy of my life when my dad comes to tell me that i had to go back to egypt for my university studies . I was really confused i was going to leave Ivory coast which i consider my second country as all my life, my friends and schools were there , and at the same time i wanted to get back to Egypt to see my family that i only visited 3 times during summers all along the 14 years . It was a shock to me to change my way of life in a 180 degrees different culture .
Finally since 1999 till now I am in egypt , graduated from university in 2003 and since then preparing my MBA and working in Unilever Mashreq . One of the important dates in my life is 03/08/2005 the date of my engagement to my lovely fiancee . I have always refused to marry an Egyptian girl for many reasons as per my different cultural background till the day i met her , she made me change my mind......but still she is not fully egyptian :))) .
