FS, not even close to the ones I want. I don't want crystal chandeliers, barocco furniture and golden loo in my gym. I can't care less about it when I am excercising.. All I want in my gym is hundreds of machines for every single muscle separately.

2-3 weeks in such gym back home, and I get in the shape, which I can only dream about here in Qatar. So.. sorry, but this is number 1 priority when come home... :):)

Drive. For hundreds of miles without anyone flashing their lights at me or passing me on the right or tailgating or seeing wrecked cars on the side of the road. Drive without that feeling of fear and/or adrenaline you get when someone has just tried to kill you. It's actually enjoyable!

Take a shower. Change my clothes, Have a belated lunch, jump my car and hit the gym, meet up with friends at the local Shesha in Al ***** hehehe! ain't tellin!

Sometimes go out for a fancy dinner and then hit the clubs (only on weekends), with my previous house mate or some other friends. But Now that my mom is here with me, I prefer her gorgeous cooking.

'n then go home do finish off whatever workload that's pending ( which I end up doing every night ) then watch some TV or go online , then HIT THE HAY!

And that's pretty much my daily life story.

I have a craving for a proper bacon lettuce tomato (BLT) sandwich.

Eaten outdoors, hopefully on a sunny clear day.

With a beer or maybe a good bottle of wine.
