rush

life, its passing me by in a rush these days

on work front two new project are coming in the initiation and pre sales phases of those are killing me , on the other side the existing project implementation is also demanding my attention.



and finally im serious about my apartment hunt in isb, all my hotel stay days after my shifting to isb have been spent and tomorrow will be the last day. moving with property dealers these days



need to apply for a visa tomorrow morning, my UK visa had expried and i thought its valid for 08 as well, its a good thingy that this old passport was not attached to the passport which was lost. otherwise i would have lost all my UK and Europe travel history In the other one i just lost quite a bit of history as well, but at least i can be thankful that some was saved.



now , i might be missing out a friends wedding if i get visa in time, my traveling dates colide with his wedding.



now i seriously need to go to lahore and start packing my stuff as well.

achivement

so like, the gas problem seems solved, i have my geezer and heater both working simlutaniously, but i think someone dont likes mE that much, ever since the heater got working 2 days ago there have been water problems at home , first the pump got burned and now water pressure is not that much upstairs its fine downstairs. Just my luck.

so anyway , my heater is one of those non combustion type which dont have need to exhaust and the fire is burning behind a glass and there is vents up to let the hot air come out.

so the vent goes all the way to the top and the hot air goes up so while yours standing right in front of it you dont get warm you have to like climb up the heater to get the warmth, so last night, i had this brilliant idea, i first tried putting my quilt on the vent and tried to pass all the heat in my bed and soon i kinda smelled the quilt burning. So then i had another brilliant idea , i took this aluminium foil roll and took out a long peace to cover it up, sice the heater was hot i just placed it on the top and i got hot air coming my way, yeay

so like after an hour or so i hear this noise as somethingy fell inside the heater i got up and took the foil out and it was hot to touch, khair got it out of the way and what i see is that the knob on the top which was plastic had melted and te igniter had fallen in, so i took a pliar and turned the melting knob it came off , but i managed to turn the heater off.

in short the achivement being that i managed to melt the heater , today i took the heater from the guest room, now i have to buy a new one, tomorrow perhaps if i go out , today i stayed in home , skipped office , i think im coming down with a flu

in another news , my xbox is fixed and im soon to finished halo 3, then i have 4 other games lined out to play, dont know when i will get the time to play them though.

sync loss

being back in Lahore waznt much as i imagined it would be. i feel misplaced , out of sync. totally out of working phase, just doing it because i have to, i dont think i have slacked this much in all these past year in my working career, student life was another matter.

im ignoring phone calls in the morning from work or anywhere else and just turn over and try to sleep again or doze off for a couple of more mins, past 2 days ive been going to lunch after waking up, showering and getting ready, then to a coffee shop and after that around 4 , 4:30 i grace office with my presence. even if my manager calls me in the morning i dont pick it up and after like 30 mins or so i check emails through my phone to see if its anythingy important and then i call him back. This phone is useful in this capacity that it allows me to check my work mails.

and after im in office , i reply to few mails i deem requiring immediate response or simple response and then i phase out and then i go home when i think it late enough so no one will bother with me when i get home and i would be able to close myself up in my room upstairs.

finally managed to knock some sense into my geezer to stay working , had a to tweak alot of things in the thermostat and put up extra protection so that wind dont blow out the pilot. Thanks to gas-shedding i had to choose between warm water or warm room, figured i can always sleep with the socks on to keep the feet warm, thus warm water it is. This geezer is dedicated to my washroom only, everyone says i dont take a bath but i sterilize , i even need hot water in summers to take a bath in.

my hair are still refusing to rise up to the occasion no matter how much hair gel i apply they just remain as they are tiny half inch pointy things. or perhaps they are nearing an inch now cant say for sure how much they grow in 5 days, i just hope they would be somethingy better soon.

its been raining in all over the country but sadly there was no rain in Lahore today, i rather like the cold drizzle going on and on, thats why i love uk in winters when my cousins over there are cursing the day im enjoying walking in the rain, sadly cant walk here in rain as there is general shortage of footpaths. And somehow i am not feeling like walking in the rain no more, just sitting and watching it is fine for now.

and i swear this headache is there constantly since after the headache, asprins at night are a necessity if i need to place my head down in comfort.

gave my xbox 360 for repair once again yesterday, i havent been able to even play halo 3 and it was launched in september, and like Hemlock gifted me the collectors edition of it. its still packed placed on my bedside table, havent even opened it even though i bugged her to buy it the day it launched.

havent been to bowling yet either, even when there came a time when we used to go almost each day for weeks, dont have that company anymore, dont feel like going there and dont have the company either, 2 of them just got married in last week. One im sure will be needing permission to go to office soon by the way he was dancing on his wifes "requests" at Valima, poor sucker. The other im not sure, have yet to meet the bhabi on a less formal gathering.

this i think should be enough bakwas for now, already longer than any post ive written in a long time.

Here is to life...

Update: After 3 hours of thunder we have rain, and wow what heavy rain it is. i think im going out to catch a cold..

was it

was it worth it ???

i dont know , cant say yet

mundane words

so yesterday morning after having breakfast i decided it had been quite sometime that i had been to Lahore and that i should get a hair cut since im not gonna be able to go to my barber anytime soon. So i went to the hotels hair saloon and asked they guy i wanted spikes. The guys looks at me and says are you sure and i said yes get me spikes.
So some 10 mins later i realise the guy does not know what spikes are , and i tried telling him that hold on, for love of God stop. But he went on relentlessly hacking away and when he was finished i was left with a little more than half an inch of hair my head.
And then the guy was then trying to bring them up , as in make them stand and goes " i dont know why they are not standing up, usually the smaller they are the more they stand". And then i litterly had to tell him to stop playing.
In the end he says " dont worry sir, they will grow back in 2 or 3 days". I could only count from 1 to 10 to calmn myself.
Now i think my current headache is due to this haircut. The minute hair are insufficient to keep the cold wind from getting in and thus i have a headache since last evening.
So we played lazer Tag yesterday, there were 16 ppl so it was fun. loads of fun, we took 2 sessions back to back and by the time we were out we were exhausted.
after dinner with cousin and his new wife, then coffee my head was about to explode, took 2 asprins on my way back to hotel and then took and another 2 an hour after to sleep.

Im hungry, havent had no breakfast today, so far no lunch, at 3 i have to take interviews and at 5 is the weekly call. its going to be one hectic day, that is a seperate matter i came to office at 12:45, but still, i think im already tired, its 2pm now.

I soo dont wanna work....
