Saturday Shopping

I went with my mom for some shopping yesterday. I had to buy some paintings and some other stuff to send em out to my friends abroad and my mom wanted to buy some new wall hangings and some other stuff to pretty up our house because we've had the same old wall hangings on our walls for quite some time now and she's gotten bored of them!

I was very indifferent to our walls actually, I loved the huge Cheetah cub carpet on our walls. Anyways, so we went to this special shop we know and I bought a couple of paintings there.
Then my mom took me to this shop where they had pretty much everything that you need in the house. And thats where I saw this framed ceramic painting, one look at it and I knew I had to get it so I did. And we brought it home and I put it up on this wall and it looked loike it was there for ages! It changed the way the walll looked! If you see, it's a very simple painting, some sunflowers in a pot, with a very simple frame but I think it exudes positivity and I just feel good looking at it. I'm actually going to go and get another painting to complement this one. I'm glad I paid for this, it's a little gift for my mom.

This beat is Technotronic
A tune popped up in my head today, I had to stop doing what I was doing to concentrate real hard to remember what song it was? Turns out it was a song called "Move This" by a band called Technotronic. I fell in love with their music after buying their album way back in 1990, it was one of my first introductions to Eurodance Electronic House music and I knew I would love this kind of music forever. The music had melody, so much so that it'd pop up in your head 14 years on! It's sad to see these guys didn't go on to become super famous because their music did quite well in the US. They faded into oblivion like many late 80's, early 90's dance music bands like C&C Music Factory, KLF, etc. Boy was that good music! They just don't make em like they used to.

..since I'm talking music
I say they don't make music like they used to and I was talking about dance music but I have varied tastes in music. Just downloaded the New Avril Lavigne song and have been humming that for a few days now. I wonder if this chick really has such a bitchy attitude the way she tries to show in her videos? I imagine it'd be pretty hard to live with one's self if you're so f***ing mad at everything all the time! Nevertheless, she's making good music so thats always good!

The new Alanis Morisette song sounds good, it's weird to see her with her hair this short!..and I see theat Lene Marlin's got a new single out!!! I am so happy she's back because I absolutely fell in love with a couple of her songs 4 years ago, she was what Avril Lavigne is now, back then! Hmm..I just noticed, everyone I mentioned above is female and play the guitar. Wow! What can I say, I'm a sucker for chicks with guitars, apparently! lol

Thanks for the toe crushing memories!

No more Waqar Younis spells to look forward on TV. Waqar Younis was pretty much the only reason I watched the Pakistan team play over the past 10 years. Just from when the new term of "reverse swing" came into world cricket. I first noticed it in the Pakistan Vs W.Indies series in 1993, it was a superb cricket series, it had great cricket, controversy on and off the field, it was like a thriller movie, that went on for over a month. I was hooked.

Waqar Younis bowled in a way that seemed carefree, like he just had to get the opposition out and he knew exactly how to do it. He had the "X Factor". It amde everyone around the world who'd seen him bowl want to bowl like him. I started bowling like him when I saw him bowl the way he did, that impossible jump at the last moment, the bustling long runup, the round arm action and finally the elease of the (old ball), making it dip in at the last moment and castleing the batsmen who very often landed on his knees. Poetry in motion, on a cricket field, if ever there was.

Reverse swing was mysterious, it was magic. It seemed impossible. We as kids tried to make the ball shine on one side and we tried to reverse the ball the way Waqar did. I believe kids and professional cricketers did this all around the world. Waqar Younis bowled that way, it was like a new dance move that everybody found so cool and just HAD to do it. I danced for years, the Waqar way, ended up hurting my back the way Waqar did. Truth is, the Waqar style of bowling isn't sustainable in world cricket so we will probably never ever see intensity of the Waqar type ever again on a cricket field.

This is a sad day for world cricket, for I believe we'eve been robbed of atleast a years poetry on the cricket field but all good things must come to an end. In a way, I see this as the ending chapters of my own pre adolescent to adolescent days of cricket. I've spent hours in our building compound bowling the way Waqar Younis did and indeed replicating that toe crushing yorker and many of my friends will tell you that! I have great memories of the same, the way I have great memories of watching Waqar destroy batsmen on television, I might have hurt myself in the process but it's been worth every second of it.

Time to store the memories on the shelf of life. Thanks for the memories Waqar Younis!

Done!

Phew! Finished off the last paper a couple of hours ago. That last one was one tough cookie!! All said and done I think these exams went they wany I'd expected them to go and considering that I had almost hardly prepared for them, I'm satisfied. Now, the wait for the results, should be out in about a months time.

Too good to be true
There's this banner on the top of my blog and it reads "LOSE LOVE HANDLES QUICKLY" Isn't that the miracle cure the whole world has been waiting for?? If there's one thing I know, it's that losing those love handles can never be easy or quick. Shame on these dam spammers for offering larger penises, longer orgasms, and lose-love-handle-quick schemes.

Head Ek!
It's so damn hot outside, just standing in the sun for 15 minutes has given me this terrible throbbing headache. Think I'm gonna faint and my big heads gonna knock the monitor off this table. Better stop here before that actually happens!

3/4th done

Well, I made it through the next couple of papers, the last one International Business was a piece of cake, the one before that Organisational Behaviour wasn't all that great, very vague questions and it's pretty hard to BS your way to writing 3 whole sides fulls of BS when the questions are so vague. Anyways, it's done with now.

I couldn't imagine how relieved I felt at the end of the 3rd exam, almost like it was finally over, maybe the fact that I had 3 days to go till my last exam made me feel that way, anyways so 2 of those 3 days are over and I haven't studied too much for my last paper in Entrepreneurship management, it's such a bloody boring crappy subject and seems so pointless, I'm having a hard time trying to put my head down and get anything across into my head. Tomorrows the last day I'll get to study so I'm hoping some part of my brain understands the desperate situation I'm in and miraculously starts absorbing all the content in my text books.

Good Food days
Went to Little China and brought home my favourite Triple Szechwan and dragon rolls for dinner last night. The last time I was ther was exactly 100 days ago, also probably the largest gap between two visits to LC. It used to be so much fun, it meant a trip to a restaurant with good food, very few people around and great company. Sadly, not much of that company remains, it's come down to ordering the food home and it just doesn't taste the same that way.

Today my dad made kebabs at home and they were delicious, I think I'm going to need a kebab sandwich before I go to bed actually. So that makes two consecutive days of kick ass dinners, I can't wait till I start running, jogging and sweat it out on the beach! It's been a while I've run like crazy, a few years ago that was the only thing I would do..run!

Exam time!

Well, my first exam in "Reasearch Methodology" was OK! I thought my hand was going to fall off by the end of the exam!!

It's funny, I'm not as motivated and charged up for these Mcom exams as I was for the first part. I'm not that tense or anxious either, not completely a good thing I'm afraid.

I'm hoping tomorrows paper goes better than I'm expecting it too. I'm using a different pen too, the reynolds I used in the first paper made it look ugly, rough and not too pleasing to the eyes.

A tough next few days for me but I'll pull through.
