dead as dead can be

even with wanting to do stuff one dont get to do it , but in my case i dont get to do it because i dont feel like doing things.

I believe i have gone lazier since i got married, as usual closing year and new year constitutes tough working days.

On top of it i Finlay got around my reluctance to study and had gotten a date for my pmp exam, which was supposed to be this coming Monday, so tough working days and then tougher studying after all this time plus i was never one to memorize stuff, thus my history of scoring low in all subjects which require lessons to be memorized and written as is.

So all in all i was progressing at a pace which i believe i would have made it for the exam prep in time when work went on exponential curve and then the home problems started occurring. Not domestic but water and gas and security issues. so we decided to shift home and move.

So in all the late night workings i decided to move my exam another week, so right now its scheduled for 2nd of feb.

We shifted like 3 days ago, Saturday to be precise and the house is slowly coming around. work has gone slow again.

We kidnapped a small young blue parrot from my wife's father who currently sits in a cage in our lounge in front of the radiator. When the radiator is off the poor thing starts shivering. Not adjusting to weather here , supposed to be from some other country. Last 2 days ive been trying to get it used to my hands and it has started eating oranges from my hand and sun flower seeds. Last night it didnt run away from my finger touching it not did it try to snap at it , so i believe we are making good progress.

so to get back to the point where i started this post , being lazy has definitely been my signature quality among siblings since early age but now a days i feel more inclined not to do anythingy. Low motivation on work front has also arise and on personal note , i dont feel like having sheesha anymore either, yes that is a big thingy.

on giving this post another look i see there is not much of a centralized theme to it or a point. So i would end this here now.

i guess what it signifies is that this Blog is not yet truly dead, coma perhaps

(cold and catatonic.......... )

ouch

So on constant insistence of my wife i finally caved in and agreed to go to the dentist for teeth cleaning.

So this was my first ever visit to the dentist, like in adult life, even as a child i dont recall ever going to the dentist and sitting in the chair , though i have some vampiric teeth, pointy and some uneven, health wise they are fine. Well granted there could be a small need for having them cleaned after 29 years of life but still it would mean breaking the record and going to the dentist.

and was it a looooooooooooong cleaning , and ouch all my gums hurt :( , no clue whats the fuss about but wifes happy so guess thats that. Lets hope dont need to go soon next time as in after next 29 years.

The funny part is , during the time my teeth were being subjected to horrible pain and agony all i could think was of the following strip i read yesterday on xkcd. Sad i know

And this was jsut too darned funny not to share

its been like a very long absence from the online world, i never thought this was possible for a person to have soo much sudden changes in life in such a short time. Like seriously , married in 2 months from the time its arranged and 1 month after engagement and now its been almost 3 months of marrige.

the worst part is all the weight i re-gained in that time frame, like i lost 6 kgs before marrige in 2 months and i gained 7 in next 3 months, i swear im being spoiled by my in-laws.

there is loads to write , loads to talk about but lately ive been soo much out of touch with my friends thats sometimes i dont know from where to pick up the conversations, married life is Alhamdoilah going very good.

Im still trying to adjust to the whole being married thing, life does indeed change big time, what ever you thought your life was is no more, right now there is no "mE" time , i need to start finding things , hobbies and stuff for both of us to do. So far effected habbits include my being online , playing xbox and similar one per son work. and my sheesha smoking days are dying out rapidly. But its not really just a one sided , she has to adjust to all the routine as well, its equally or more hard for her i believe.

and right now im babbling , cause i dont have anythingy better than do, im sitting in a resort in Oman, with my manager who is updating his slides for tomorrows big presentation to higher management , and im just sitting waiting for him to go through my slides before i present them tomorrow so everyone is in sync. the sad part is there is a perfectly fine swimming pool here with clear blue cold water and i have not been able to go see it even in day light. wifes back home as she couldnt make it so missing her as well, its freaking hot around 34 outside and did i mention i hate these presentations ? twice in each year we have to go present these, once begining to show our this years goals and once at the end so show what we have done and its a utter complete waste of time , and did i mention its hot ?

and like Omani ppl get homesick in Oman, like seriously, today is a weekend here , and tonight all Omani ( any that are left) would pack up and go to the desert to feel more at home , cause the cities have been taken over by desi crowd , the only shops you see owned by Omani are the ones selling perfume, rest everyone is speaking dialets of desi land and you see more wobbling heads that the ones wearing Omani caps , no wonder they head out to desert on weekends and some back on saturday.

i guess i would stop writing herer, as i dont think im making much sense, lets see if i blog again or not , dont feel like blogging most of the time, sometimes there are things you think "huh i shold blog about it " but in the end you always end up "ah naa, dont feel like doing that right now "

and did i say im bored ?

interesting

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
