This is the first week end at our new place, I m not going to say this weekend has been awesome far, because that would be a lie, I have been trying to work out somethings, sadly it hasn’t been working. I had been busy trying to manage some folks from India, but these guys even though they’re ok with the work they do, they have time problems, which in turn affects out work, product and of course deadlines, which we had decided would be strict, but right now thats a little problem.

Anyways, last night around 3am, I was down right tired, even after a double dose of Red Bull, and I needed some kind of break, I decided to call mom back in Karachi, it’s always a treat to listen to her (One of the best women alive!), I had some 5 minutes chat with her, in which I learned that my grandma’s sister is really sick, her kidneys have failed, and she’s obviously not in her best health. I need to call her today hopefully.

While I spoke to mom, I got to know that Amin (aka Kato) Bhai’s  wife had also passed away, and it is her Soyem today. May Allah bless her and Amin bhai, and all the muslims of the world.

After moving in the new apartment, I m actually going home, and the apartment is not very close to the work place, which I find pretty good, it gives you time to relax and chill out. Otherwise it’s just office, which is pretty looserish in my opinion.

Anyways, I haven’t really posted pictures of my apartment on my blog, but they’re on my facebook presence, check them out here.

Ok so here’s the thing, as I kid and seeing that TV series that had Mr. T in it, I wanted a mohawk, but obviously as one can tell, it’s not quite safe to do so in Pakistan, and flying to Dubai didn’t help either, so when I landed in Singapore, I knew I was to do it, but how and when, I wasn’t really certain, so last night, when half my office mates were at a Sheesha place, and I tagged along, they challenged me on this mohawk deal. It was more like a motivation than a challenge, I’d thank my CEO for that.

Anyways, I woke up late today at around 4pm, and the first thing that struck my mind was the hair cut, so I head off to the barber’s place, half an hour into the parlour, I get a call from the CEO that they’re heading off to eat, and I should meet them there with the new look. Agreed !

Around 15 minutes later when I was done and the hair looked like I wanted it to, I paid off the barber (thanks dude, you did a good job), and headed off for food, obviously I had just got up washed my face and headed here, I was hungry, so I met the guys at the food court, where they treid to make fun of me (loosers, it didn’t help ), and I know I was grabbign attention on the way, I prolly was one of the few desi people with that haircut (I haven’t seen any other desi with that hair style). Any how, now thats the hairstyle I have for quite some time, and I m loving it !

It’s been quite some time when it was a visual upgrade for this blog, and it’s quite that time again that it gets a new coat of paint. I believe that even though everyone’s getting newer and faster internet connection, this blogs should load faster and smoother than it does now, so I’ve decided that when the new version launches these things are taken care of.

A few things that were also on my mind if that there should be no sidebar, and the main focus should be the blog, though technically there will be a sidebar, but visually you might not consider it one, which is quite my objective.

I’ve also taken care that things do not cut of like they mostly do when you open a single blog post, specially if there are no comments. I m also going to focus on one single blog post on the main page, so that only the most recent comes to you first, and if you choose you can browse for older written stuff as and when you wish for it.

I’ve pretty much completed the design and it’s like a 100% change from what it looks like right now.

Let’s hope it goes around well, and works on all browsers, Amen.

In a few hours time it’s going to be a brand new year, 2008.

Here’s a wishing, Happy new year.. May this year be more blessed and less eventful than the last one.

I thank everyone who helped me around this year, smiled at me, laughed at me, made fun of me, or had good or bad times with me. I can not thank you enough.

I thank my parents, family and friends for being there for me. I thank the staff at my work place for being kind gentle and fun to work with.

Thanks everyone and once again, Happy New year.

Yesterday, at work I got a new computer, a new desk, a new location, Even though the computer and the desk is lovely, I m not such a fan of the location ! Besides the location, all’s good… the badness? I can’t use Thunderbird there !

Other than that, things are pretty awesome, infact I even got my salary, half of which has already been drowned in a sea of crap

Any how, since everything seems better, even my sis, which is good, I took my family out on a treat.. yep they were asking for one, I should be the one getting a treat

It was good to say the least. Had fun, lots of it, and I had one of my best friend’s with me ! Asim.

i m running off now, catch up later. My mind’s not in the right proportion !

I am having real lots of fun with the new LCD and the sound system I have now ! I enjoy working long hours now, in fact I’ve started using it more effectively

Any how, what I am writing about is good and bad, is fine and great with me. I have been working with Technology city, for a month or so, and even though they’re great people to work with, I seriously think, it’s not the right place for me ! I do not see myself growing there in terms of work maturity and else !

This move is not only good for me, but also for them, so they could find a better person to fit the gap, and work to what they require, how is this good for them, they usually work with the tables (html thingy), which is so damn old, and even though I can work on that, I hate working with it, since it belongs to the 1990’s and it’s about eight years since we saw the last of the 90’s era ! it’s like someone running Win 98 on a latest machine ! damn ! yes I m bitching !

The good part…

I m joining Creative Chaos starting next month, yes it’s the same place uncle Rock star (H-N) currently works, so I think it’s supposed to be a fun ride, with good amount of workflow dwingling !

I need lots of good wishes, and prayers ! and some curse words too (Yes I m looking at H-N)

The lil Meet up at Aag.

Yep, me H-N and Babrus had a little meet up at his office (Aag TV) of late, where we had to discuss things related to the event we’re organizing in late December, it’s mostly about Art, but everyone’s welcome to attend the show ! The funky part is, we discussed little of the event and more of the odd happenings in Babrus’s life ! The bad part of the meeting was the glimpse I got to see of some brutal beating a guy got in India and some govt guy was involved in the incident too. I got the idea how bad people can be !
