I gave the car Ad in Jang Newspaper. The ad appeared this Sunday. I also gave an ad on the internet site that deals with car sales in Pakistan.
I have been receiving calls since sunday. One guy came to see the car. Others are planning to come to see the car.. The calls are still coming..
The ball has started rolling.
Of the sister
Finally I met my sister. after some 2.5 years. She arrived Peshawar last Wednesday (14th June) and I was so happy to see her. She was in Ireland for a long time and now she is back to live in Pakistan again. Before coming to Pakistan she went to Switzerland with her husband on a vocation trip and had a blast of time here.. Looking at the pics and videos that she made there in Switzerland , I wish I could go there too. Now I just hope to get the Switzerland project next time. :D
Of the starcraft
I took two days off from office which eventually turned into four, thanks to the adjacent weekend. On Friday night I played starcraft till 5 in the morning with 3 of my Gikian friends. The thrill and enjoyment that i get from playing the game is out of this world. I lose a lot (and that is usually my default play style :D) but still i just cant stop playing this game.
Of the car
I returned to Islamabad on Sunday (17th June) and found that my car , the princess, was not willing to start the engine. Damn you proud princess!!! I had to get the mechanic next day to get it fixed again. No wonder my friends ask me to put the mechanic's mobile number in Mobilink Friends and Families. :D lol.
Even today the car was angry. I reached the office a little late. When i parked the car, a guard asked me to park the car on the other side and the princess went all mad and refused to start at all :D . Khair,i went to Mechanic in the evening again who sent me to the car battery shop who told me their stupid version of solution of the car's problem.They proposed replacing the wire that links the car generator with the battery. Now i might be stupid in car problems but i understand this very well that the generator has got nothing to do with starting the car . This princess has made me learn a lot the hard way. Anyway my car-saga ended with an electrician who worked for some 3.5 hours to fix the engine-starter. i returned home too late - near 10:45 pm. See!!! Isn't keeping this car a full time job in itself.
Of the food
My weight is still the same. I am still maintain it you know :D. Every day there is one or another reason to escape dieting. This Monday, we had our NCR batch reunion as after a long time all the people of my batch (the 8 of us) were in Pakistan .So first the boys of the batch went to Savour Foods at lunch. Savour is so tasty ; eating less there seems like a sin. On Tuesday we had another batch reunion and this time it was without gender discrimination. we went to KC grill . How can you diet at KC grill?? :D then today a friend who returned from Turkey took us to Papasallys . again!! how can you even think of dieting there. :D . I hope the rest of the days in the week will go normal. Every single day you get one reason or the other to celebrate.
Current plans
Have to sell the car....
Have to sell the car.....
Have to sell the car.........
its been a long time since my last post .I wasnt really busy its just that procrastination rules my life now.
Back to office
Back to Pakistan, Back to Islamabad, Back to office , Back to my seat. Happy to be in a good AC . The place where i worked at Dubai had a pathetic air conditioning system and it was really difficult to work there.Now its so relaxing to sit in a cool place with relaxed environment.
One week vacation - Starcraft & Peshawar
I had a week off from office which was spent in Peshawar with family . Got DSL installed at home for the love of Starcraft even though it meant messing up with all the telephone wires at homes.It took so long to get all the phone lines fixed. Later i played a few starcraft games with Bodi , lost in all of them as expected :) but the thrill and enjoyment that i got from playing the game ; its always awesome.
Life is changing again - I am beginning to like Peshawar. now this is something that i never expected to happen . Sometimes, I even think of settling there. I just wait to see how long this phase last.I am just getting tired of being alone all the time. Cant take it any more. Thanks to Naruto (an anime - Japanese Cartoon) , which let me understand this problem .
Islamabad - my room
What else, my return to my room in Islamabad was greeted by a computer that was not working and an AC that was not turning on . Computer is still not working. The AC turned on later but it wasnt showing any display at all. I was worried for a week but just a few days ago i found the button on remote-control that says "light" and that turns on the display of the AC when pressed. :) - problem solved - .there was some cooling problem with it too but last night i cleaned the AC filter (jaali) and now my lovely Dawlance is super kool again.
Islamabad is really hot these days... i am talking about the weather ;)... i really hate going out in the sun.. luckily there is no load shedding in my area.. but i know there is too much load shedding going on in other areas..
Of the princess
The princess has returned.. My beautiful car Subaro is back.. it stood idle for some 6 months at a friend's home (thanks for his patience) since nov 2006. the battery was down ... i got it fixed this sunday..and i am still tired because of all the khota kaam (donkey work) i did on sunday. now i am planning to sell it as soon as possible.
- now -
I wil be leaving for Peshawar today. My sister is coming back from Ireland.. its toooooooooo long since i met her. and i really want to see her now. I hope there wont be lot of load shedding in Peshawar for these 3-4 days..i hate garmi. and my home at Peshawar has been designed in a way that its always extremely hot in summer and extremely cold in winter.
Plans:
