labor day

:)

*yayy*

my blog’s back after a friggin 5 months

pakistani servers are weird…anyway…i dont have much tiem to blog…have lots of updates….but here’s the bulletin for the time being:

  • semester almost over. ends in a week….projects still pending! i submit my last one on Thursday!
  • finals start Monday….and i have a really spread out schedule…so hopefully I’ll get lots of studying done :)
  • i leave for Saudi on the 16th hopefully…going for just 10 days..to get my iqama paper work in order
  • get back end may, start with my summer course *calculus…which i conveniently dropped last year*
  • still haven’t got an internship…then again..I’m not the only one…about 90% of my batch *including the top 10%* don’t have jobs to their name….

and in other news: ADP had a great gig that i missed once again…courtesy of the 80′s themed farewell dinner at IBA* which was a resounding FLOP and a tribute to the 8 people in asad khalil‘s life…yeesh! *i mean fine your the BASC (Business Administration Students Club…think of it as a student council) VP but hello, public servant, can u PLEASE stop harping about your friends, how you won in the elections, and how generally you and the rest of your outcast friends are ALL that..no one gives a crap!*

find gig reviews, and links to the gggrrrreeaaat Aunty Disco Project on my sidebar

today just happens to be Labour Day..and its a public holiday in Pakistan…its ironic that the white collared people get to enjoy this holiday, but the true laborers: the farmers in the rural areas, the domestic help, the drivers, the construction workers….all of them are still working!

it so happens that as soon as i had typed up this delayed blog below, my internet stopped working..thus the late post!

anyway…since then i’ve attended meetings and meetings and more meetings….some of them personal…others to do with my society..and yet others to do with conference work

yes its a crazy life!

also gave *and passed yayyy :D * the P&G test…inspite of the discouraging attitude of teachers and classmates, i’ve applied for an HR internship..according to the P&G HR Manager “dont let them discourage u…among the five most highly paid business professionals in the world, two of them are hr professionals..and its easier to get a jet in this line before any one else”..thank u mr saad something or the other for being a beacon of hope!

lets see if i get an interview call..there are set to be five interviews by the way…and personally ht bit i was most scared about was the test…i think i’ll do fine in the interviews

over confidence? or just plain KNOWING what im capable of? *sighs* time will tell

also im planning something large scale for my society…something along the lines of a regional social policy dialogue forum…lets see how that works out

and in other news: *randoommm*

warid has put a cap of 250 sms on *zoom unlimited* MAKING IT UNLIMITED NO MORE..and to add to misery has inflated the price a rupee *yes im whining about a rupee*

i like the new talkshawk ad…think its got this very chhaiya chhaiya-esque cuteness about it

i also love the soundtrack for salaam-e-ishq

the sajania song and video score high!! love them!! *yayy i learnt how to post videos on my blog!*

the olpers ad, and the bigg apple ad are *WTF is going on in pakistan!! wheres the authority thats supposed to regulate advertising!! and the sad bit is that BOTH products are homegrown, not MNC

shilpa shetty has been crying her heart out in big brother…her poise is admirable, and that other nasty female jade has been voted off the show…since its celebrity big brother, the nasty females have lost business and contracts
catfight

i have to do laundry

oh i had two days off…and did nothing but laze around and read uber bizarre stories from the Roald Dahl book “Someone Like You”…

i havent read today’s newspaper

hira left!! without meeting meee…but yeah sarah’s in town so we should have a nice girly meet up cum shopping spree

my khala had a baby girl! and we’re soooo happy for her..i’ve yet to see pictures of baby zarmeena but my taz hasnt sent them to me yet….oh and the irony is that i have a cousin named zarmeen *female* on my fathers side…and this new cousin is called zarmeena…how confusing!!

and then theres the very sad news of my papa’s best friend being diagnosed with last stage brain tumor…have been horribly upset about that and that deserves a post of its own really..i dont want ot joke about it and play around with it…he is a great man..and to know that his days are numbered is downright painful :’(

 

new theme? new year! January 4, 2007

Filed under: random,rant,sadness — abeeerr @ 3:42 pm

i wanted to start off the new year with a new theme….but i looked thru the ones wordpress has made available…didnt really like any as much as my current one..theyre either too dreary..or too bright

so i guess im stuck with this one till i either learn how to work css…or till wordpress has some interesting templates up

******************************************************************************

this was my first eid home after 3 years…annndd it *no surprises* felt good..and the chilly weather was literally the icing on the cake…which reminds me..i also did a lot of baking while i was here…no cooking though..left it to ammi…and the sad bit is that im leaving in 2 days *missing 2 days of classes by the way*..and i still havent shopped enough..or had my fill of home…i dont want to go back!!

argh…whats worse than homesickness is this feeling that sets in..when u just DONT want to leave!!

anyway…i still see the numbers going up on the *seen* tab at the bottom of my page..and no comments to account for the surge…*grumbles*

meeting up w/ sarah jaanuu tonite…n a couple of arab friends..lets see how it goes

hope all of u had a great eid….and pakistan yet again had 3 eids *strangely reminds me of this*..also pray u have a great year

every second day of eid, theres this spectacular fireworks show at the corniche..in spite of wanting to watch it, i couldnt…there was this eid party we had to go to…it was new years eve on the second day of eid here..it wdve been spectacular if i cdve gone there…

fireworks

*sighs*…next time
