Iam backkkkkkkkkk, Medical Examination day Part 2 (Episode 3)

Now to the second part of the great day of being at the most wonderful and beautiful place in the earth (actually I had invented new definitions for these words) which is the Hykesteb.

In my last post I stopped on the moment I entered to the place in which the medical examination, it started by waiting too long outside the building till the great doctors take their rest and after that they called us to enter to the room, take almost all our clothes off, and then wait another great time till someone of them is free to check you.

After all this time, some one had come out, I told him I've something (which I believe it should get me out of the army after asking many people), se he checked me and said: "mmm, yes you can get out by this but I am not sure yet" and he checked me again and said: "It's not critical as I think, so I won't let you go out"

Actually after hearing this news, I had a great shock!!
Because now I had lost my chance in Microsoft, but I remembered that I've another thing which should get me out of there, so I asked him, he told me that the doctor who's responsible for this part had left and probably will come tomorrow, so I left and came in the second day.

After coming on the second day, the doctor had checked me and after checking me he said: "Yes, you've it, and you can't bear the army while you're having this, but for your bad luck, they hadn't placed it in the rules but they are planning to put it inside the next year's rules, so if you come in the next year you could leave"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it's bad luck again!!!

At this moment I was 100% sure that I had lost my chance in joining Microsoft, but, is this true?!!

I should wait to see the results of postpones, but….

But this will be another story.

Iam backkkkkkkkkk, Medical Examination day Part 1 (Episode 2)

Now to the second episode of my long journey through the previous month, which is nearly the most important part (and actually the most dramatic part) from the journey, which is the day I went to the Hykesteb to begin my military service journey.


It started in Wednesday 24-September, I waked up at 5:30 AM, and went to the Hykesteb at 6:45 AM nearly, and there were a very huge number of people out there, so it takes from me till 10:00 till them actually taken my papers, I said ohh my god, they had finally taken my papers, but we're in Egypt and the thing you must learn about the army "If every thing is going ok, you must know that something is wrong and you may be in danger!!!", and as usual someone came with a lot of papers and start calling names, for my good luck, I was in these names, I asked him why you called me?

He told me because your papers which came from you faculty is not clear and it's not stating that your final marks had been approved from the university and a lot of shit like that, the most fun part that my success statement was holding "ختم النسر " (actually I don't know its name in English), so he hadn't accepted a paper holding this sign!!!!

Any way, for my good luck, my dad was out there, and we were having our car ready, so we went back to the college (please refer to my previous post about college papers and how much I had suffered gathering them and they told me that this paper will work fine in the army) so I went there to the college just to kill someone, anyway when I reached the college, I found that temporal tans-scripts are ready, so I went inside a very rough journey of taking a paper and went to a lot of places (some of them I hadn't heard about their existence before I went there in that day) and was asking everyone to sign on the paper to make me free from any responsibilities in this place, everything went fine till I reached the faculty's safe, they were so clear, they told me that they won't sign it till I pay 100 LE for the graduation party, I told them actually I won't be in Egypt to attend any parties, but no way, you must pay or we won't sign, so I paid it because I was having no time to talk, after paying the money and taking the trans-scripts (which had taken another extra time because nothing is behaving good in Egypt) I went back to the Hykesteb, and reached it at nearly 2:00 PM.

I won't dive in to details of how I had convinced them to let me in again after 2:00 PM, but finally I went in, after all normal steps of making your life hell, I reached the medical examination part,

But this will be another story.

Iam backkkkkkkkkk (Episode 1)

Hello everybody,
Iam back to blogging again after all this period, yes it was a very long time since my last post, but during this period, many events had happened which made me soooo tired and sad!!!

Stay tight, because it'll be a long post.
Still interested? Ok, let's begin:

Let me think for a while where to start, as I remember last time I was talking about H1B visa and that Iam still in the pending state, during the last period, I went to Sakhr to work during the interval until I relocate to USA, so I worked with a great manager named Hatem Affify, he was really great, and I worked in the testing unit making SDK help and samples, yes somehow it was boring (when I left programming to testing for one week), but overall it was good, and the rumors I was hearing about Sakhr and how bad it was, yes it contains a lot of weak points, but people there were really great (developers and managers), but overall the company environment was good (of course if can't be compared to my beloved company Microsoft :P )

Nearly after one month it was the time for my military service medical diagnostics, the most important day in my life which will decide whether I will join Microsoft or not, so, what happened?!

This will be another story.

3D Game Event

Ohhh, it had been very long time since I had written any thing in this blog :), any way, in the last week I got a phone call from IDEAVELOPERS, a firm which is related to commercial funds in IT field, the attendees were the teams them-selves, IDEAVERLOPERS' business associates and consultants and EFG Hermes Private Equity team responsible managing the Technology Development Funds, the event was about Game Development and Production, we had went there in a hope to get some funds in order to get good media team to complete our game, the events had been in this way:

1. We were supposed to be the first speakers to talk at 6:00 PM, but we had arrived at 6:15, so we spoke after the first team which had taken our place :).
2. The people in the room had been fascinated with the game engine and the demos.
3. We had found what we were looking for, the media team which was great and we hope we'll reach an agreement to work with each others :)

That's all till now, and I hope soon we got some good news :)
