freedom

so like yeaay, finally my apartment is wireless , this darned new access point gave me a tough time and fought 1 day before finally doing what i wanted it to do ,

lost

for the first time in all my traveling , my luagage didnt arrive

to think someone would have such a black tounge when you do a little effort to meet them on transit , sigh

convos

so you have pretty interesting conversations in cabs with the cab drivers now and then.

just today we hailed one from a mall to go back to the hotel and he starts with asking how many ppl were there in the mall , we say many and he goes "more than 10? " and im like "err yea "

and then he goes to ask you know arabic or only english we we say, "Urdu" and the response we get is

" Shukriya Shurkiya.. Urdu word Urdu word"

and then after telling us some storis half in arabic half in somethingy resembling english he goes "so you all work as engineers "

to which we were surprised and asked how did he know

his reply was pretty interesting " engineers you see , it shows, "

we go shows how?

"engineers look and talk respective ppl"

go figure

domesticated

so like i feel like ive been tamed for home use. there are just too many things to do around the house and still it doesn't seem like any progress is being made.

yesterday i finally managed to take out all my clothes out of suit cases , separate winter /summer ones, filled up the wardrobe and then put the suitcases, rather hid them in another cabinet. so now my room kinda looks like a room not a place where a explosion happened in cabinets and drawers which spilled all the clothes on the floor. I never knew i had too many clothes , and like im still wondering how the heck i managed to collect this many socks when i can never find a decent pair but now that i look at all of them it seems i have a hobby of collecting socks, one sock or a pair it doesn't matter, i collected em all.

In another news i broke 3 drill bits while trying to drill holes in the bathroom tiles to hand the shower curtains, now finally the curtains are up and the bathroom floor is less slippery after a shower, its still a mystery how i have survived not slipping till now.

kitchen, now that is one place which dosent seem to end with minor tasks, i have all the jars containing spices and salt and everythingy filled up and placed, powder milk and sugar jars are ok to go. the glasses and cups and plates are now all in their proper places. the fridge is populated enough to survive. and today i cleaned the sills and then i cleaned the stove itself, man that was some task. scrubbing is not too much fun
and like i have a separate viper for the kitchen and two sets of slippers that are solely dedicated for kitchen use ONLY and no other shoes are allowed in there, washing the tiles of the floor is not a fun idea every time someone decides to walk into the kitchen with shoes they were walking around outside in dirt or somethingy. My bro and a friend who visits often thinks im a freak. ( i now have slippers for home use as well and shoe rack is present near the entrance to change your outside shoes as soon as you get inside, btw all three washrooms have their own slippers and vipers too).

one of the book racks is assembled an the other is missing some screws need to buy some so that i can finally unpack the cartons containing the books and put em up. i need to sort out the dvds and put em in their racks as well.

i still have to find myself an electrician to fix all the switches and lights and fans in the apartment. i did what i could and fixed many of those but some of them are too complex for me to handle without getting electrocuted a bit

and seriously if anyone knows someone who does soundproofing of the rooms , i deperately require their services, all the traffic and people start talking yelling early morning and then there is constant noise of contruction crew working right next building who start somethingy like 6am in the morning , and then sometimes at nights the gaurds outside decide to sing , yes really sing.

and i yet i have buy furniture for my bedroom , im still using the sofa-cum-bed , which is so far doing a good job but then that is another thingy on the to do list , along with the air conditioners and moving my old air-con from Lahore and getting it installed here as well , it would be summer in just a blink of an eye.

and the light will be gone in 10 mins, i better finish up here and try to get some sleep before they wake me up early morning again, i swear i soooooooooo cant get up in mornings

movings and settings

so like , moving and setting up is too much of a headache , there are million little things which need to be corrected, all last week i have washed floors, washed all light shades, scrubbed washrooms, done electric wiring , changed light bulbs, cleaned dishes , so far i havent cooked as the stove has a leak somewhere which i need to find still.

so finally i have got my stuff in the apartment, on monday i took all the stuff from Lahore and by monday night everythingy was dummped. That night at 11am the curtains were tired to be put up, as in an interm solution was found to hand the short ones so that there is some privacy achived, the two rooms were washed and the carpeting was done, by 3am was too tired to do anythingy more so threw the sofa cum bed and slept rather tried to sleep

so the mosquitos and the lights coming form the windows with half covered curtains and the noise from outside all contributed in depriving me a peaceful sleep, next morning was meetings at 9am and then i came back around 6pm and again started working on setting up the place. so next 2 days were spent in either changing lights, washing lights, washing floors, tracing wiring, then buying a fridge and a microwave, installing the tv, putting up all wiring for the sound system and xbox 360, and then finally after 3 nights i was in a position to bring in the sofa sets for the lounge.

so finally now that the lounge has been more or less setup is that the shape or the apartment is coming out nicely , even though alot of boxes are still lying around , i need to assmble the book shelves and then arrange all theb ooks , my bed room is still a mess, need to buy a bedset also, have to take out all clothes and arrange them in the cabinets in the rooms, see to the stove, but stil a milestone has been achived when you can relax and sit and watch the tv at the end of the day.

and the traveling is still not over, if im in Pakistan next week i can hope to accomplish more , btw, Hemlock still dosent like my sofas.

packing

so here i am , packing all my stuff in llahore to move to isb tomorrow for good.

I never know i had soo many clothes and soo much of little or big junk stuff that i do use now and then, and the books took 2 cartens on their own, mad i need to throw somethingy out soon, but what i dont know
