Little Girl's Bedroom Design Inspiration

And the rest are just the colour combos I came up for, for a friend who wanted a red and green little girl's bedroom. I have a plan now. It involves parrots and pineapples and polka-dots.

Persian Fantasy Wallpaper for Bedroom/ a pink bedroom

E, you would love this room beyond anything I can reckon.

I wanna go skating.... Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I want to go iceskating, but you don't understand, no one will go with me. Waaaaaaaaaaaa! None of my Omani friends can skate (and very few of the non-Omani expat ones I know can either). Ahhh, I'll have to settle for hosting a tourist then. The place gets busy with tweens after 6:00 pm, and there are some events I promise I will one day check out (hokcey, figure skating...) but I just haven't gotten around to it because... no one I know likes ice. And I went by myself once before... and the image below represents what followed.
Sooooo.... G&S, PLEASE let me teach you!!!!!!!!!

The only ice rink that I know of in Muscat is in Al Khuwair- Al Khuwair Center Ice Rink. It's near the Zawawi Mosque, Al Kuwair, Muscat (if you're taking a taxi that should be enough directions to get you there). The phone number last I checked was (00968) 24 489 492 .

For now, I have my rollarblades, I guess. Maybe. If no one threw them out. But 50 degree weather kinda sucks for rollarblading.

My new blue and green room: inshaAllah

Might be moving into a new partment and am soooooo excited. The things is, I always find it is too much of a hassle to paint here in Oman, so i am leaving the walls as they are, a tropical blue, and turtle green. Soooooooo, inspiration is as follows....See, I like the urban ecclectic way of mixing traditional pieces with modern ones, and I like the idea of bouncing a few jeweltone accents (hot pink orchid and purple) off the sombre grey, white, and aqua and greens I've got already. So my main colour palette will be cream, beige, and the tropical blue with dustier blue shades and lime green accents (this gives it a relaxed, tropical, beachy vibe), with bigger colours accents in purple, and very small ones in hot fuschia 9this is where the energy comes from).

Zaho-Je te promets

Lyrics for Zaho's Je te promets (french translated to English):

Do you want me to tell you that I'll love you all my life?

Do you want me to promise you all my nights till the eternity?

Do you want me to chase you without being noisy,

And say that I understand everything without you saying anything?

I can't tell you what I don't know

I can't give you what I don't have

And I can't go away from you even though that [makes you] separate us

All what I can promise you is a new depart [beginning]

wouhouhouhouho aalaalalla iéiéiéi aaa aaa a woooohohohoh

And a lot of stars appearing in the blue sky to make a wish,

Unless my sun becomes hazy,

And that we could be together again without hurting our feelings,

And I couldn't tell you things I don't know,

And I couldn't give you things I don't have

I'd like to hide under your eyelid,

So you could see me when you're doing your prayers,

And I'd like to break all those lights,

Those which make you blind;

And I couldn't tell you things I don't know,

And I couldn't give you things I don't have

You would like me to tell you that I'll love you all my life,

You would like me to swear all my nights up to the infinity,

You would like me to follow you forever without making any noise,

And understand all these things without you speak[ing] a word,

I can't tell you what I don't know

I cant give you what I don't have

And I can't go away from you even though that [makes you] separate us

All what I can promise you is a new depart [beginning]

I can't tell you what I don't know

I cant give you what I don't have

And I can't go away from you even though that [makes you] separate us

All what I can promise you is a new depart [beginning]

Driving in Oman (and yes, I know the cartoon isn't Omani)


An Omani Princess' To-Do List


This week Ferrari launched its new model (hehehe my little sis, this is your thang), Lulu had a mango festival with various tastings (I like mangos), various sports events were attended (one sister likes fast cars and food, the other likes sports and fashion), one fashion show... and I went fishing. I've decided that from now on I'll try and keep an up-to-date date book with reveiws from me and my girls. That should be fun:)
