This is a picture of me (front, on the left) and my bro zaazoo (front,right). Do we look serious? He doesn't speak franch like me though he does speak spanish and his girlfriend lives in California. I just like making fun of her becuz he beats me up but the end of the day it's all worth it. You guys better like this picture because when he gets home hes gonna beat the crap out of me!

Best of Luck NYC!!!
Guyz,
Just wanted to say best of luck!!!
I shall see you @ NYC...i live just 10 mins aways...
For me these tests are just a challenege.. I would have nothing to lose....as i'm currently employed with EK-Finance in NYC.
So even I dont get to the 10%, i would still be happy that i made it to the first assesments....
So sit back, relax and wait for 25 Aug....

I have never been to the U.S., i hope i get security clearance at US customs/border protection here in Toronto pearson airport!
Its like:
"Sir, whats the purpose of your trip to the US?"
And I reply :
"Umm yaaa, Going for a job interview in New York, which involves learning how to fly commercial passenger jets, for an airline in the middleast, which flies to New York 3 times a week, and the direct translation of thier name is 'United' "
"Errr, Sir, you've been randomly selected for further investigation...."

Al Ain is somewhere like 140 Km from Abu Dhabi...I can make it there in less than an hour with my Mercedes E350 2005 model (there are no speed restrictions), if you go through my previous posts in the very beginning you would find better info...anyways I'll give out some now
Al Ain is in the middle of the Desert, but its the City of gardens (alots of parks & gardens)...doesn't have many traffic lights (maybe 3 Max) it has got alots of round abouts & short buildings, you can reach the Sultanate of Oman (neighboring country) within less than 2 1/2 hours, BTW Al Ain is approximately the same distance from Abu Dhabi & Dubai (you can choose to Spend your weekends somewhere there), last time I visited it was in May (Was planning to go for the PPL...), download the Google Earth & enjoy watching the places.
About Exotic/Luxurious cars...there are alots of these rent a car companies here...I tried the Hammer H2, Audi Q7 & the Dodge SRT (costs a lot for a Ferrari...800 Dhs for 12 hours & don't forget the refueling) I do get them with their unique Number plates & fly to Dubai (my College) then come back with a GIRL...usually a stewardess...there are alot of them UNDER 22
BTW Deniz D...I am not a National of the UAE...although was born & lived in the UAE...I do carry 3 different Nationalities (sounds like 007), but dropped one as I had to serve for their Army when becoming 18.
Just focus on your exams & I promise you to get you into a Tour around the UAE when you arrive here...good luck

That is what I'm talking about, a brother from another mother! I can understand the nationality thing me and my bro are oreos.
As far as studying goes, I have decided today that on Saturday (tomorow) I will stop studying altogether and go into standby mode. I understand we get a pencil and paper so now I'm a little bit more relaxed becuz I won't have to do as much math in my head. This thing is crazy but I don't want to stress over it.
