maku shay asawee..i was talking to random people on bbm that i forgot i even knew (yes, boredom at its finest). hessa FINALLY woke up in what seemed like a year. we went down and had breakfast at the cafe near our hotel ba3dayn watched the movie in the cinema near by. I LOVE LONDON. kelmen eshawig, a british guy actually held the door open for me! such a gentleman, (that rarely happens back in kuwait).

after the movie, we went to hyde park and rode bycicle boats for an hour, took lots of pictures and ate a flake icecream cone, MY FAVORITE.

radaina el hotel and i took a nap cause i was tired seeing as i woke up at 7am! gemt at 7:30pm, ula i kind of wasted my night!

i was kinda hungry so i suggested we go pick up mcd's. hessa wore her black leggings and an oversized pullover, and i wore my purple juicy training ou re7na yebna 3asha for the family..

the morning was normal.

it was around 6pm, me and hessa were in the lobby bas chthee 6umasha ga3deen with hessa's best friend jouri when haya and faisal came in through the main entrance carrying loads of shopping bags. i waved at them to come sit with us..

haya hits faisal on his arm playfully and giggles

i picked out a beige leather jacket, leopard print scarf and skinnies with knee high black boots for haya. she can literally pull of anything mashalla, shes so pretty! she waved her hair ou nezalna 7ag ukouha.

we got to Trocadero, went in the bowling place and started playing right away..

faisal: your twitter avatar 3ajeeba mashala, where was it taken?

shaikha: Marbella, spain last summer ou thank you!

faisal: no problem!


Haya's POV:
i was walking to the bathroom just minding my own buisness until i notice this creep(but handsome) guy following me! ugh so not in the mood, i was pissed that i was losing to shaikha and my brother. i went into the bathroom, fixed my makeup and hair and got out. the guy was standing waiting for me.

the guy: entay haya alflani, 9a7?

i had no choice but to respond, he was pretty much blocking my way.

haya: eeh sh3arefik feene?

the guy: i follow you on twitter! ou a3arfech mn twitter mnzman

i stared at him in a "mn9ija hatha?" kind of way and just ignored and walked away.

while i was walking, he was still behind me.

the guy: okay sem3ay bas bagoul shay wa7ed mafee za3al.... .  ....okay latism3een just follow me back on twitter @mi7senalflani.

and i went back to our table.
