ouch

so like, once upon a time there was an 80GB hardisk as my eternal drive, those small portable ones that you carry around in the laptop bag and put junk in whenever you lay your hands on somethingy.
So like few months ago that 80GB started making noises, paid no heed, and then one day finally it stopped responding, there lighted up an alarm in the brain that oh damn, DATA , all that years and years of DATA.
and like that 80GB was rushed to data recovery experts who kinda examined it and informed me that its was beyond repair , although data could be saved by opening it up and going sector by sector and its gonna cost like 15k.
so i decided to say goodbye to that data and went on to buy a new harddisk. decided to go for a branded one this time as to have more "reliability". Compared like a locally made 500GB to a 320GB of Westren Digital, and WD was like 2k more expensive.
The problem is , i have this thingy, that once i like somethingy i end up buying it sooner or later , so 320GB WD it was , with a sleek sesky look to it, 10 months warranty 24 month extended warranty.



so i kinda end up taking this beauty home. 320GB was a lot of space and i managed to just fill up like 60GB in the past one month.


it was a dark night, there was no sun to be found, it was more dark as the tube light was off, and there was an eery glow coming from the screen of the laptop and the harddisk was on the bedside table beside me and then as fate would have it , my cousin knocked it down the table and it crashed on his foot and then to the floor. Oh the horror, the HORROR , THE HORROR

and now the disk has stopped responding, its not being detected and like i called up warranty support and no ones picking up the call, but dropping does not get covered in warranty anyway.

Its a sad sad sad day...........

tense nights

so like the night before last i was up in tension, i slept at 3 and after every few minutes i would wake up because of the tension that i had.

and you might ask me what was bothering me, well i was tense because i had to wake up early in the morning and get to a 10am meeting.... and the prospect of waking up early kept me awake all night in delusional sleep

so like there is another fear in my list now, fear of waking up early morning

unexpected smile

and i was positively surprised today when i reached office. I knew they would have remembered my birthday but never did i imagine that they would bring on the party since morning instead of traditional evening cake cutting ceremony. so i reached my room to find baloons tied up to my chair , a number of presents and confetti , as i stepped in i was showered with it as well.



and then everyone was given a party hat and told to wear them, and i was handed a card from my team, a very interesting message in it


(click the card to read the mesasge)
im blessed to have such a great team, they are right, they have been through hell in trying to meet the deadlines and none has come to me complaining once

so there is a cake cutting to be done soon , and then im being asked for a treat,

so im sitting hunched a bit on my chair as the balloons are hitting my head , and so far i have not yet opened my inbox to start working , dont feel like it

so the cake was here,



the blue is food color which has made the inside of the mouth blue of everyone here, and then the ordered pizza came which was my treat. unexpectedly there were more than 30 ppl in office at that time, so even 6 large pizza vanished in like a split second

leave

Subject : Immediate Leave required


Dear Sir,

It is respectfully stated that since morning when you decided to grace my mind and let known your presence known throughout the backside of my head, i have been unable to perform my duties satisfactorily. The immense migraine created as a result of your arrival has rendered my mind useless for the most part. Every sound that i hear is magnified to the fullest and the hammering downstairs for construction work is making the situation worse.
I humbly request that i be granted leave of your presence for now so that i can have some peace of mind

yours obediently

Transformers

And ppl told me this was good , but i waznt expecting it to be this good. AMAZING, must see. Ive already seen it twice, the first screening at sozo world with the youth festival including concert of Call the band and The Rising, i would say it was worth the wait , 16 months i waited for this movie to release , 16 since the time the movie was announced to the time i sat in a cinema to watch it.

.

So the next day i took my little cousins to DHA Cinema to watch it. and we entered the premises and i went down to the foyer to get coke and pop corns and there i ran into the very same girl which i mentioned in the previous post , plane girl lets say. so she was with the cousin she was staying with , introduced me to her " the guy i told you about , i met in the plane" and then her cousin dragged her into the cinema as the movie was starting and in like 30 secs or less the meeting ended. i thought i would catch her once the show is over. so in the middle of the movie i saw those two rush out of the cinema , and didn't return. so i think if i ran into her next time , the third time , i would definitely ask her contact details.

.

so anyhoo, transformers is a must watch, i cant wait for the collectors DVD edition to come out , definitely gonna own this one and add them beside my Lord of the Rings collection, it would be nice if this too has extended version of the movie , Lord of the rings had 30, 45 and 56 mins of extra footage in the three movies respectively.

.

So cant wait for them to announce 2nd installment of this.. now its The Dark Knight im waiting for, less than 11 months to go yeaay.

of travel n flights

so like last night i traveled to isb , left office at 8pm, left home around 9:30ish and crossed the toll plaza on motorway around 10ish. reached isb around 2:30, went to scheme 3, chatted the 2 hours away before we all got up and went to the airport to see of my sister who be moving to canada, took us better of 3 hours and then i had a flight back to lahore to make it for a meeting i had herei nthe morning .
so being awake since previous day morning by the time i checked in i was sorta not in my senses , in 15 mins they announced the flight for the lahore i simply walked to the gate and there the guys says , this flight has not been announced yet. upon arguing it was revealed that i have been given a boarding pass to a karachi flight with someone having the same surname as me, rushed back to the counters, talked with the supervisor lady, she insisted i have karachi booking while holding my ticket in her hand , i have to point out , lady that is not my name, please look at my name and my booking number, then it dawned to her that they have made a blunder, she rushed a guy to unload my baggage from the khi flight , gave me a new boarding pass and i moved back through the security checks to the boarding, made it 2 mins before the flight departure time and then the flight was waiting for my lugage to come and we lost our window, next we had to wait 8 turns to get to our window at the runway again, it took pain stakingly long and i was almost dropping to sleep yet since the plane wqas atr turbo, elder brother of a focker the airconditioning was not yet fully bloomed untill the plane is in sky.

so right next to me was this girl who kept on flipping open her v3 and then closing it again, so i kinda leaned over and said , "excuse me, but should you not be turning the phone off? "
"i should should not i " was her reply and she turned it off.

so it was her first time in an ATR Turbo, she was telling someone on the phone when i first came to sit that "Its such a small plane". so i told her that these are the replacement for old focker planes "Thats not too encouraging" was the reply. So i told her that so dont turn on your phone because it is said that the mobile interferes with the navigation system of a plane, so its better we do not take chances on this small aircraft. Though she did open it up after 40 mins of constant complaints that she needs to turn it on always otherwise she gets uneasy.

so next 55 mins in air and landing were spent in talking about different topics, jokes, all in all good time, i pointed to her that shoaib akhtar was on the plane , when we got out we noticed what he was wearing , the guy looked dopped, was wearing a brown tshirt with black trousers and the trousers were see through, i dont know if anyone was turned on by seeing his semi visible legs and black underwear, oh horror, i might have nightmares now...

so i said goodbye to my co-traveler wishing her a good time in lahore for her short stay and somehow i thought asking her contact would have not been proper, so i didnt ask. went to office directly and by 12;30 is could barely open by eyes, so i spread a Janamaz on the floor behind my desk and closed my eyes, when i opened them it was 1:40, got up and then by 2:30 i was at the customer meeting trying to grasp my senses and stay awake

its 5pm now, and transformers is hitting the cinemas tonight, and im not gonna let sleep hinder in my way to see this moive, if only i can stay awake till 9pm

tired

3rd day, i havent slept for more than 30 mins in a stretch. Cummulative sleep is 4 hours max in these 72 hours.



i jsut want to be able to sleep for a longer duration now, just a few hours, 2 would do for starters, i just cant seem to sleep, my eyes burn, yet when i lay my head down i just wont sleep.



ive always been a light sleeper, ever since when i was a kid i used to wake up on Ammi's first call, but this is getting out of hand, i dont believe in taking sleeping pills, it screws up your system, but repeat , this is getting out of hand now.



last night around 2am i had 101 fever, could not sleep, tried reading a book for an hour more but nothing helped, left bed and put in the new game my cousin brought in my xbox 360, played that for next 4 hours , it was 7am when i was tired enough to sleep a while, i dont even remember which level of the game i got to.



the night previous i found myself recovering my data from the crshed hardisk of my laptop, again with a fever to boot and the night previous to that was the big deadline that we missed, amazing how all the effort is invisible in front of just one mistake , but anyway, thats whater under the bridge.



my coughs better now, throats no longer sore, im not sneezing as much and the water works from my nose have decided to retreat for now.



and now tonight it would be 96 hours by 3am, i dont think i can sleep anyway before that time.

4 hours of combined sleep 4 days.

just for a few hours

sleep, just let me sleep

duck

One mistake nullifies all the effort
