I need a few Laffs... here they are!!! (yup i'm too lazee to blog right now) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize. Borrow money from pessimists - they don't expect it back. Half the people you know are below average. 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name. 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot. A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something. Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy. Hard work pays off in t
Strange aint it.. how when it comes to others, we'll give a million suggestions.... do everything we can when someone's in trouble..and yet.. for ourselves we can never be bothered.. it's like.. naah i'll be fine.. we'll all be fine end of the day insha'Allah.. it's juss that we do need to do something for ourselves too.. I aint saying world wise.. i'm saying do what Allah says to save ourselves... Granted we will be asked what we did for our neighbours.. how we helped our friends.. did we give the rights of our parents, obey the rules when it came to people we didnt know.. but we will also be asked (and this is gonna be the first question) if we prayed 5 times a day... If we had the paid Zakah (which again is for others.. but takes us another step away from hellfire too) If we had the resources and went for Haj or not (juss once in a lifetime.. that aint asking much is it??) Ok.. this is getting too long.. what i wanna say is.. i've seen people
Hmmm.. I'm finally over with the exam.. Jazak'Allah to all those who prayed for me... It went better than i expected.. which isnt to say it went too well but hey ho.. it's over.. now i can concentrate on the more important things in life.. like games... kiddin. Now i'm gonna try and shape this blog up a bit. Get my site up again. Maybe transfer them all on to a single domain. Problem with my ISP is they dont provide static IPs on ... why am i going on about this.. anyways.. yeah Need to sort out ma stuff... Insha'Allah soon.. On another I'll-get-it-done-soon note... A friend of mine today was cussin me when i told him i'm still smokin... so i was tellin' him as i've told so many people before that under this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of willpower.. For some reason people dont believe that.. they tel me its in my brain and if i try hard enuff i can do it.. umm isnt that whass called willpower... i lack that... Well Insha'Allah I will

How Emotional Are You? brought to you by Quizilla Me again... (hmmm.. who else could it be???) This is a quiz which i took off Umair's blog who in turn took it off Cindy's Blog.. no I aint gonna go and check where Cindy got it from... (no offense intended Cindy) So i'm a sorrowdweller.. I juss dont get where theycome up with these weird terms.. this is what they have to say about me... "Sorrowdweller. You are not overcome by anger nor happiness. Your emotions are pretty well balanced, but you do tend to get somewhat emotional at times leaning towards depression and saddness. You have your own views of the world and while you do not see the beauty of life, you are not completely overwhelmed by darkness. Live and let live just because." Incidentally.. Umair had the same result... :)
Right Usman... lets plan the day a bit shall we..... Fajr = 4 hours later Exam = 7 hours 15 min later End of Exam = 10 hours 15 min later Conk out on bed = As soon as i can humanly get home after the exam! :-)

What's YOUR Writing Style? brought to you by Quizilla Here's a quiz that i took from Bushra and A'tika's blog . Hmmm.. dont understand a word wat it means but i took it anyway.. It defined me as a "Freefom writer" ummm.. i wont even try.... all i know is now i'm an anime character... This is how they defined me "You are a freeform writer. Individualistic with a sense for the different and challenging, Walt Whitman and his poetry lacking meter and rhyme is just what the doctor ordered. You're quick to write something that the rest of the world doesn't accept as poetry, quick to separate yourself from the average joe. An author with a true sense of self, you have confidence in your abilities and aren't afraid to show it. :) GO YOU! " GO ME.. YAY!
Remote Cookin' Lesson Well, the title pretty much sez it all...but i'll go on and bore you guyz with the details anyway. A friend of mine (the same guy who asked for the chicken recipe last week) was making an omelette (dont know if i spelled that right!) and he goes to me... "Dude how'd u make that omelette you made when i came last year?'. Again the question sez it all.. apparently he was either impressed that the omelette wasnt in a million pieces or maybe he did actually like it.. who knows.. and this guy is like real picky about his food.. he's going to me.. do i wait for the top part to solidify or leave it liquidy.. i ask him if the bottom seems to be cooked.. he sez it's still yellow... and every 2 secs he's going should i flip it over.. when i say yes.. he goes but the top's still liquidy.. i'm like juss flip the damn thing.... he does... lo and behold.. it hasnt broken.. he's happy... and that was my first online cookin lesson.
I think i've done juss about everything else except study seriously.. try for a little while.. then get bored again.. then try... then go hmm.. lemme see whass going on online.. then books.. then..umm.. i want choclate... I juss cannot sit down and concentrate... the exam's monday morning... i dont know jack... I dont know if i'll be able to do it... i wonder if there was a way to like stick a needle in my head and like inject the info. into the brain???? (sorta like Matrix style.. hey cool.. i get to be Neo!!!)
Seems like the link i put up wasnt working.. Sorry people!
Just got a call from a friend who lives in Crawley (to those of you outside england, dont go around lookin' in maps!!) Anyways, the guy chit chats to me for a bit.. umm ok lemme juss clarify that i've never met the dude.. he juss works in a branch of our store and all.. anyways.. since we're regularly in contact with 'em i talk to him a lot.. anyways... making a long story ever longer.. he calls up..we chit chat.. he goes i'm leaving work.. i'm like whhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa?? He goes had enuff man.. I'm like so what u gonna do for now.. He goes one of the reasons he quit was so he could go with Jama'at for 40 days... Masha'Allah.. not everyone has the gutts.. or should i say sense to do sometihng like this.. (granted his family's loaded.. but still) Hats off to the guy...
When divided we stand United we fall
Medicines hmmmm.. another one of my observations of people... (ok ok so its a bit lame, sue me!!) Whenever someone gets sick, or bangs a knee or break an arm and you go, you should get that checked.. they'll go.. oh i dont like doctors... ummm... . me: 'so u've got a headache.. take an asprin'.. them "nopes.. dont like medicine..." another scenario me: 'have this tablet and it'll stop the fever u have'.. them: 'i dont like tablets or capsules' What i dont get is.. someone's not feeling good.. and juss cuz some medicine gonna taste icki for the first 2 min they wont take it... instead they'll suffer the sore throat, runny nose and fever for the next week or so... (and complain all through the week obviously).. no one trusts a doctor when they have a cough.. but when someone has an accident and may be dying.. the first thing people do is say call the doctor... so umm.. it's logical to not trust a doc when som
Hmmm.. was juss listennin' to a few Guns N Roses songs today... man those brought back some memories... cant believe how long it's been since i finished college back in Jeddah.. Oh how times (and people) change... *sigh*
ARGH!! I've got an exam on monday and i cant get myself to study... No motivation watsoever.... I'm sure Mr. Nigel Phillips wont appreciate 2 empty lines as the correct answer to 'what is autopoises?'. Hmmm.. i juss dont get it, he's the lecturer with the PHd or watnot.. shouldnt he know all this stuff and not have to ask us??? I mean look at it this way... lecturers and students should have a relationship based on trust... I'm 110% sure whatever the lecturer is telling me is true, cant he take my word when I say I know what we've been taught throughout the semester???
I dont know... seems like this time around I juss cannot pull myself together to settle in. Hmmm... it is a bit trickier this time. Let's see how it goes. On a brighter note, lotta people gettin' engaged, married and 1 even close to havin' a child. Masha'Allah.. Have to say I'm happy for everyone and may Allah keep them all happy and content in whatever circumstances they come across. Dang, people really gettin' into this shaadi mood and all... I mean i dont get it, it's like everyone wants to know wat u think of marriage... when u wanna marry and all... hehehe... if any of you have ever seen my old website, you'll surely remember the 'views' section and especially my comments on marriage. Man the replies i got to those views were a riot..It's all good.... I actually still have that whole website sitting on my harddrive somewhere... The views section will definitely come back for the new website (I might even keep the comments on 'mar
It's supposed to be flippin' cold tonight... but for some reason i'm burnin' up... nope.. the heating's turned off... and nope, i aint got a fever... I juss dont know.. maybe the ice in my heart is meltin'.... *falls to floor shakespearean style and hears applause from crowd*
Random rants today.. First off I'm thinking I should add a few links to ma blog.. i mean it does look awfully dull.. I mean the blogs i visit regular and stuff.. the one's i've liked and all.. well, when i'm not being lazee i probably will.. Then I have to get my aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages old website back up too... think MAYBE (mega word being maybe) i'll even get myself a domain and set up a nice decent site.. Hmm... wat else... oh yeah.. a friend of mine suggested i should write a cook book or something.. :-) before u ask.. he came around from the states about 6 months ago and mom made some chicken curry he really really liked... So he asked for the recipe and i sent it to him written ofcourse in my own unique isshhhtyle (as a desi would say it.. not that i'm not a desi.. but anyways...) here are his exact words "dude, you should write a cookbook, i love your 'articulate-ness' its really hip!" .... Truth be told, i do love cooking... an
It's been one of those days... It's juss after 2 in the night and i've juss finished up some work dad gave me to do... (well it wasnt some, i started at 9 and it's 2 now) anyways... I'm regularly updating the blog terms thingy.. keep havin' a look at it.. I've gotten a coupla good ideas from people but i need more.. more more more (evil laugh)...
Real Friends Sometimes u juss find out in the strangest way how people are real friends to you. I was juss messin around with a friend a little while ago on the net and i was throwin' all kinda crap and she juss listened to everything i said and believed me too.. and you know wat, she was trying to be helpful and trying what not to get me outta the 'problem' i was explainin' to her... (i've done it to her a coupla times before and she always believes me).. I've known her around 5 years now.. and i have to say, people come and go, but till now, she's proven herself to be one of the kinda people u juss dont forget... Cant promise i'll always be in touch, but you know I wont forget you. (P.S. i feel really bad messing around with her cuz she had a bad cold too but i still went ahead and tortured her for 20 min before letting the cat outta the bag..... and being the awesome person she is, she's not angry at me) Thass what real friends are... :-)
Oh incidentally, some of you might've noticed this guy Astral hangin' around in the comment boxes... He's someone I've known for like 5 odd years now i think... Well, never actually met him.. one of the people who were my good friends when i started bachelours in Cyprus.. cuz i didnt know anyone i was on the net a lot and Astral was one of the people i met on IRC in channel Pakistan... Great guy, a bit weird sometimes but great nonetheless... (we got along cuz i'm weird too!) I think we were outta touch for about 3 and a half years and suddenly a coupla days ago i get an email from this guy... cant believe he still had my email addy and still remembers the stuff i had on my website... (which incidentally i'm plannin' to update and put back up again!) Good to c u again bro! :-)

Double whammy quadruple ARGH!!! Lemme go fight some more with this!!!

Dudes and dudettes... it's a short life, you never know when it might end. Coupla thigns in life you gotta remember, we're here cuz Allah put us here, so all we have is cuz of him, so we should always be thankful. The biggest gift he's given us, besides life itself are the parents who brought you up. Alhamdulillah, my parents were the right kind, and not only did they skool me in the ways of the world, they also did in the ways of the religion, and i am forever thankful to them and Insha'Allah they will be rewarded. Moral of the story people : Parents : respect them , love them , be kind to them, and always always always be thankful to Allah for them. (a bit dramatic wasnt i??)
Hmmm... seems like i'm being a bit lazee on ma blogs these days... oh well, it's all ummmm... part of bein' lazeee :) had a viva today for the prolog project, and here's a secret, I think it went better than i was expecting... now is that blogalicious or wat??? (ARGH i've become a tele tubbie)
Here i am again.. been playing the nice host to the people we had over. Funny how everyone sticks me to do everything that has to be done... (did that sentence make sense??) Hmmm... so what have i been up to... lemme think... umm... anyone remember what i've been up to?? Oh yeah, got an exam on the 27th... to those who dont know me, that means i've got till the evening of the 26th to mess around, then i'll start lookin' for ma books and notes (and panic will settle in very very fast).. so as you can see, i aint the kinda people who leave things to the last minute :-p
I am totally blogged out today... absolute long day... plus slip sliding all over the place in the snow... Really came down today... :-) You know it all looks soo cool in the snow.. the whole city seems color coordinated...

I still dont think Z is shy...
Sunday morning 8:30am.... to monday nite 1am... thass how long i was awake.... from sunday evening i was trying to finsih up ma uni crap so i could hand in on time.. monday at 4:20 pm i handed it in.. 10 min before the skool office closed and i would've gotten penalized for late submission.. but atleast i got it done.. first time i ever saw snow today.. woke up and looked outside.. i was like.. no way man... then i understood what they mean by black ice being dangerous (not in the michael jackson sense!).. thank god didnt have a fall.. but me and this guy who was comin down from the opposite side slipped at the same time, got our balance.. (sorta like ballerinas.. all coordinated and stuff.. but in a manly way ofcourse!) looked at each other and juss laffed our heads off... but it is coooooooooooooooold!
I cant really remember the last time i was up all night studyin... ummm actually i can, it was like the night before hand in of my graduation project in my BSc... happy days... thing is i'm sick and tired of it all now... and i wanna go to sleep but if i do that, i'll have to hand in a day late, which means working another day... and quite frankly I really dont have it in me to do it all tomorow.. (its called laziness) any volunteers to type out a report for me???
Bloggin' and loving it... i've just found out that someone's actually put a link to my blog... YAY... someone actually thinks my blog site is worth wasting time on !!! :-) Well, i've been working for the past 8 hours straight and i dont think i cuold take any more cybernetics for today... or vice versa... You know one thing which really messes me up. It's when u order something from someone and then u start getting their promotional stuff... and no matter how many times u call up customer services, seems like they have boneheads up there who dont understand the words "I DONT WANT UR CRAP NO MORE!!!" I've been getting reader's digest stuff for over a year now, all cuz i bought a stupid book from them to give as a gift... now i'm regretting it, Bushra... if u wanna channel ur choclate anger somewhere, i'll give u reader's digest's addy...
Man i cant believe how lazee I can be at times. I mean if such a thing exists, i'd probably be the supreme commander of the intergalactic council of lazee people!!! Anyways, getting back to this prolog that i have to finsih... gawd who invented artificial intelligence.. and why'd they do it anyway? sure aint made my life any easier.... oh heck there i go complainin' again. Got tomorrow off work, so i can finish off my uni stuff... New year started... fire works.. cheers.... people going craze... all juss so u can put 2003 instead of 2002 when u date something now... YAY! I mean thass something worth celebrating and loosing ur cotton pickin' mind over aint it?? (or is it??) Personally i was happy sitting at home juss chit chattin with mom.... Ammis beat going out anyday... ummm.... unless we're going down bowling... Kiddin... Ammis are the absolute best...
