Bloody hell I want a brownie

Calmer days have fallen as I feel like slowly slipping back to its monotonous routine. I like it like this. I don't make mistakes because I want to. They happen outside our control and some times our own mishaps. I suppose that's why they're called mistakes. I make them to grow stronger, better and quicker. I make them to learn as well. Growing up has all kinds of kinks and it's our job to sort out which ones are the ones we need to fix. Some things are better left untouched.

I'm not a materialistic person. I don't need things to make me feel happy. OK sometimes I do but that's beside the point, I actually need those things to function daily. I don't need someone to shower me with gifts or cash to earn ... whatever it is they want from me. I feel bad when people do me favours or get me things. No doubt I appreciate them loads, but I feel somewhat underachieved to get those done for me. So if you've ever done Alison a favour or gotten her something in the past, Much Appreciated.

Thanks to Muzaffar, I had my first (and probably last) Tony Roma's dinner last night along with Ziad, Faiq and Unzila. I feel bad that I didn't take any pictures. It was such a lovely (and filling) dinner. Ribs with a grilled shrimp kebab. Zomg. It was a great evening.
