Assalaam Alaikum all... fun day today... had a nice 6 hour sleep for once, woke up nice and fresh... but took a bit too long getting ready for Juma cuz i had intended to pray Juma in Uni but since i was late i missed it, so juss prayed Zuhr.. Bad me.. bad bad me... anyways... after that went straight to the library and tried to study for once.. The library is arranged in such a weird way... it's like 1 building divided into 2 areas kinda thing.. and like to cross from one section to the other you have to like go to the 3rd floor.. the staff has their own way of crossin' over to the other side but students cant.. u have to go to the third floor to do it which is too grrrrrrrrrrrr'ing... and since i had to go like all over the place, i must've gone up and down like 3-4 times... argh.. i'm gettin too old for this studying!!
Anyways, finished that, got outta the library and a friend came up from behind and ... yeap.. we went for Baskin RObbins!!! YAY! But before we ...
Today’s been a good day Alhamdulillah… I’m gonna try and blog in order of the events of the day so bear with me people, this might get a bit booring at times.
Day started at about 8:30 in the morning today, usual drill. Had my driving instructor come in at around 9:30. First lesson for me so I was a bit nervous but then I used my transformer technique to get the nerves under control. Ok now u’re all obviously asking what these transformer technique… well normally when I’m nervous, the theme from the transformers movie (you got the touch bla bla bla) starts playin’ in my head which can get irritating at times cuz I’m tryin’ to make a dua or read Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon and that craps playin’ in my head. In the end I did manage to cool down. Thass when the instructor showed up, quickie intros. Nice gentleman he was, reassuring.. asked me if I’ve ever driven before to which I said I drove for 4 years, he’s like u sure u wanna be bored with this.. I was like oh go on lets d...
Man oh man i juss read Raeesa's comments on the other blog... Man she juss pasted the whole comments section down.. but wise words indeed... i'd recommend you guyz have a read... Anyways, was going to get some stuff for ammi in the morning when this guy stopped me and asked me if i knew arabic (i get that a lot, people for some reason think i'm arab.. My friend sez its cuz of me goatie) anwyays... i was like I'm from Pakistan..so he starts speakin' to me in english... The brother looked of African background, was talkin' very politely.. he goes to me i'm waitin' for my pay to come and my electricity cards run outta money (they have those charge keycards for electricity in some places here) and he's like i've no electricity at home and have 3 days before i get paid, can you spare me some change. Now the guy was talki'n polite enuff, sorta decently dressed, not dirty, juss a bit shabby... and the thing that was puzzling me were the eyes.. very ...

Now.. I realize people are ill at ease cuz of the stuff going on in Iraq.. and it's ofcourse understandable.. and ofcourse everyone has their own issues too... except fer Yazzie.. but she's weird... kiddin :) ... anyways.. gettin' back to the subject at hand.. as i was recently reminded from a post by Arshe ji, smiling is indeed a Sunnah.. I've decided we need to have a Smile Campaign around here... aint easy but if you put on juss one heartfelt smile in a day... one u really mean.. u'll probably birghten up someone's day... (ok i know i'm weird, sue me).. But this cant be a regular smile.. this has to be like an extraordinary smile... can be to anyone, parents, siblings, relatives, neighbours...friends.. Its your chioce.. I'll get the ball rollin'... I walked in from work today.. saw mom as so...
Right... finally linked up the people i had been intendin' to for quite a while now.. apologies if i've forgotten anyone.. old age tends to do that to people.. i'm three and a half years OLD! :) I seriously have to change a few things on the template.. YES the color scheme's gonna stay.. i juss love these colors. Actually my favourite color is blue but grey's cool too. Juma went nicely today.. got stood up by a friend though, which was a bit ARGHing.. but hey i'm sure there's a good explaination for it.. only thing is i'm still waiting for it.. grrrrr... *counts : 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 * Ahhhh.. much better now.. i'm calm.. i'm calm...
More randomness.. i've been added by a few people on msn lately.. dont know who though.. I mean i was lookin' through my msn list today.. there's soo many people on my msn list who i dont even know who they are.. at present i've got 149 people on my msn messenger thingy.. scary isn...
Hey y'all.. Blogger finally starting behavin' so I've managed to put up the views bit with comments.. so if you guyz are still holdin' stuff in about my views.. go right ahead and blast away... :) it's the smally link right above the tagboard for now.. i'll sort it out later! Oh and Jazaka'Allah to Saharoo Paharoo for recommendin' the commentin' site.. :)
Assalaam Alaikum all....
Good golly green peppers... is it that long since i last posted... hmm.. well i'm back now... its been 2 days i've been tryin' to set up the new blog for the views and all... but the damn thing juss doesnt wanna play ball.. i think i'm gonna have to go with someone other than blogger for the second one... oh hum... Yeah so 2 days ago i pitched the idea of a communal blog to da pumpkinaa... and bein' a lazee bum i didnt post about it.. (well actually i was busy but who's countin') ... so anyways, my niece beat me to it and put all the tagboards up on one page... little smarty pants!! Yeah so the ideas still there.. lemme know wat you people think.. then i'll delegate the job to someone else... :)
Hmmm.. Yesterday i when i came home from uni i was hungry enuff to eat a horse! But then again i've never eaten a whole horse in one sittin' so i'm not sure if I would've been able to finish one but yeah... reason i...
Assalaam Alaikum all...
Sorry i aint been around again.. I know i'm being a bit slow on the postin'.. (not that I think the 2 people who actually come on here must've really noticed) but still, apologies to all... Hmmm.. lets see.. oh yeah... cool thing happenned yesterday... Remember how i said i got a cheque from the tax office for overpaid taxes being returned... well, went to the bank yesterday morning to get it deposited... Now it was early morning when walked into the bank half asleep, paid my CC bill and then handed the the cheque over to the woman behind the counter... She looks at me like I juss landed from Mars or something and goes, "could you hand me one of those pay-in slips from behind you so i can fill it out and deposit this cheque in your account... " (ok ok.. she wasnt rude at all, she smiled and asked very very politely) Obviously she noticed i was spazzed out from lack of sleep so she was all nice and actually offered me a cup of coffee......
Alhamdulillah nothing like a day of fasting to get your head back on straight... Really, one day of fasting and everything's back in perspective... and now that i'm back to normal (or abnormal dependin on who's reading) or ummm.. is my normal abnormal ... or is my normal normal?? or abnormally normal?? oh heck.. been busy today... signed up to the Bloggin' Muslimz thingy... YAAY.. now juss need to copy da code so i can make my bloggie look all cute.. and linked to all you people too..
It's around 12:30 at nite right now... and for some reason i'm dying for a coffee and a smoke.. I seriously have to do something about these caffeine (or however it's spelled) and nicotine urges... granted they're nowhere near what they were 2 years ago but still.. any tips?? besides the will power bit.. cuz .. underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of will power.
Dear anyone who reads this post... ummm... i dont even know how to go about this one.. well umm... for about the past however long i've been snow ploughed emotionally... its very very heavy and is bearing down on me right now... and at the moment i'm in the worst state emotionally then i've ever been... ... but... ummm... i'm probably not even making sense.. All i ask from you all is juss a little dua for me becuase i most definitely need them.. Jazaka'Allah.
Forgot the Special invite... My Age is Showing!!
Man i'm only 23 (well juss turned 23 a coupla weeks ago) and already i'm forgettin' stuff... Now the reason i say that is cuz i forget the person who showed me that weed is good for me (halal weed mind u people!!)... the Hippy of da bloggin' world... the person who hooks people right from her blog... FAIZA... *crowd cheers* *people do the wave across the grandstands* YAY!
Incidentally, i juss remembered i havent had my own special owners pass printed out, so everyone has their invites, but if i dont get mine soon, they wont let me in to my own island... i'm really havin' issues rememberin' stuff... Juss call me Forgetful Jones :)
Invites to Baskin Robbinius
Hmmm... Think its time i put this all straight... now i Usman 'Baskin Robbins-on Crusoe' have decided who i'm gonna hand out invites to.. and i've got good reasons for givin' 'em out cuz as you know i'm the one organizin' the stuff and the meetins gonna b on my Island... so noooo.. it's not gonna b cali.. and noooo... not Toronto either... maybe London or my own Island.. now for the list of people who get invites to Baskin Robbinius...
Arshe ji ... Well cus simply she's Arshe ji.. that lets her qualify for an invite...
Uzer ... Cuz he's a Counter Strike fan....
Yasmine ... Hmmm.. difficult one.. see there's weird, then there's nuts, then there's totally insane.. and finally.. 'THE YAZ'.. since she's the spiritual leader of all people who attain 'the Yaz'.. since i wanna attain 'The Yaz' too, i can only learn from her..so she gets an invite..
Shadaan .... Cuz he...

Good Streak Alhamdulillah
Hmmm.. yesterday and today been going pretty good for me... Admittedly i've been havin' looooooooooooong days (but then again dont i complain about 'em always) but end of the day some little surprise comes up and things start lookin' up... 'How??' i hear u ask?? Well lets take yesterday shall we... Went to work.. was dog tired when i got home.. and as soon as i get in the door.. i'm greeted by this official lookin' letter starin' straight at me sayin 'u open me and u'll regret it'.. I pick it up and walk into my room... Now i'm like ok.. lets open it up shall we... then Ozzy (thass the other me) sez..'u open that and u'll die of depression, u already got ur credit card bill to pay, ur dog tired and now before u do anything else u wanna open another bill???'... So i was like yeah Ozzy's right... I go wash up... change... get into relax mode.. then i see the dreaded letter from the twilight ...
Man uni was loooooooooooooooooong today.. then again it's always long... on a positive note though... i think i did pretty good in the quiz today... Global Telecommunications and networking... Bah.. piece of Baskin Robbins cake...
There's a new Bend it Like Beckhamania starting... ever since i watched it and been tellin' everyone that i did.. nearly everyone i know has watched it again...this one dude watched it twice in 3 days... weird thing is i've only seen it once but yet everyone else is watchin' it over and over.. i juss gave my copy to a friend today... serious weirdness i tell you...
And you know what.. this Baskin Robbins thing is going too far now...the friend who i had the bet going with, we were both lookin' at their website in uni today... (and yes we were druuuuuuuuulin') I've got work tomorrow and day after but good golly gosh darnit i'm sure as hell going on Friday after Juma Insha'Allah... (and unfortunately so will anoth...
I've juss been advised to buy my own island and set up my Baskin Robbins empire there (thanx to the Yaz for the idea)... great idea.. only thing is... i'd get ideas of world domination... probably freeze the world over with icecream.. now granted there are a few icecream lovers out there who'd probably gobble up my plans to an extent.. but i'll have hot molten fudge poured over 'em... then shoot chunks of roasted nuts at 'em... and then entomb them in choclate sprinkles.. hmmmm... better copyright this idea before they use it for the next james bond movie... Hey cool... if i copyright it.. then sell it to the people who make the bond movies.. i can live a week like bond too.. so that'll be another adventure i'll have gone through.. (man the brainstorms juss dont stop do they??)
You're Doctor Cox!
Sarcastic and cynical, but deep down we know you care.
Sometimes it's ok to let that show.
Which Scrubs Character Are You? brought to you by Quizilla
Oh darn.. wonder if they had the Janitor dude in this survey too.. he is far out cool!! Lol... they juss let out all ma secrets in that quiz!!! :-p
I've juss had the most awesomest idea (which also answer's Arshe Ji's question as to wat's next on my adventure list). I plan to open the first ever outlet of Baskin Robbins in the Himalayas... now you're all probably wonderin' why in the name of butter pecan topped with green chillies and vinegar am i gonna do a thing like that... well, simplest reason in the world... I wont have to buy no freezers :-) ...is that kool or wat.. and ofcourse i can have as much icecream as i want.. mite be a few problems with the hot fudge though... ho hummm.. nothing that cant be sorted out... :)
Seems like people have a love hate relationship going on with the color scheme on my blog.. like i said before.. blue.. grey.. these are colors I like.. and they're stayin... so there... :-p
Man.. I've juss got myself stuck in a jam.. We had exams last month and like i have this friend.. both of us had this idea that the other studied more (when in fact we probably didnt study at all) and were pinnin' it on each other to get higher marks.. in the end it was agreed that whoever gets the higher marks buy's alicecream (thass icecream to the uninitiated) from Baskin Robbins.. (is it me or BR being mentioned a bit too much all over the place these days).. anyways... You know the score in uni.. the course directors cant tell u any one else's scores... so neither of us know wat the other's got... and we were both probably messin' when we were telli'n our marks.. so we both go up to the course dir and ask her who got the highest marks.. she immediately picked...
