Whatever may come…

So I was looking forward to the Easter break at Uni coz I was thinking of going on a road trip with some friends. One of the friends, was supposed to confirm his availability today. He would have taken leave & would let me know if it was approved. I’d been telling him to let his boss know about his leave plans, for the past 2 weeks! So today, while at Uni, I checked my email, & found 1 from him (& I was going to meet him in a while anyway). The mail was about “I’ve got bad news for you. You’re gonna kill me. My manager’s on a week long leave. May be more. I just found out. Apparently he took a tumble and now I’ve no one to take leave from…Don’t have the guts to tell this to u on the phone/face to face…”. So my plans for the road trip are now…hanging in the air?! Whatever!I had a feeling it seemed to good to be true, my finally being able to make that trip. So now I have no idea if I’ll get to go, or if I’ll just end up staying put right here throughout the break. Damn.

& just after I read that email, I headed down to the foodcourt, to grab lunch. So just after I get my food, pay forit, & turn towards the seating area to get myself a place to sit somewhere, poof!There’s a blackout!& since the foodcourt’s underground, no windows, its really dark. There’s chaos, & finally the guards come down & announce that the fire alarm was another false alarm, & that we have 2 choices- either remain calm, or leave the place through the 3 exits he pointed out. So I decided to stick it out-hey,I’d just bought lunch. There were many like me, & they were all eating by cellfone-light. Yes, they’d used their bright display lights from the cellfone screens. Anyway, so I tried to eat, in pitch darkness (my fone doesn’t have that good display lights,lol). I must’ve had 3-4 mouthfulls, & the guards returned, with orders to get the Uni evacuated! So I had to leave my lunch, & exit!

So after that debacle(well, both those incidents), you’d think I was pissed? Hah! I met the friend (the 1 who was scared to give me the bad news face to face,lol) & we headed off to the Lindt cafe (the world’s first Lindt chocolate concept store & cafe) to celebrate! lol!

Then headed off to work, came back home, cooked a wicked karhai gosht (it was the yummiest karhai gosht ever!seriously, my roomie was in awe!) , gymmed, & am finally ready to get crackin’ on that assignment…!Or am I…?!

I know, its been a while. & I don’t even have a good reason as to why I’ve been away from this place. Sigh…

So the other day, I received a text message from my mommie dearest. & I realised that its so absolutely wonderful that my mom can send me text messages, emails & can even chat with me on msn messenger. My friends who know this, say that its so nice my mom can do all that, coz their mom’s don’t (they’re not as tech savvy as my mom, masha allah).

& I cannot put into words, how I feel when my mom sends me a text. The surprise element, & the fact that we can communicate anytime & everytime, is just great. Ofcourse I call, but I cannot call everyday, whereas we can text/email so much more! If she wasn’t into computers, then we’d be able to communicate only on the phone. This is so much better.

Ofcourse, I had to teach mom to do all that, before I left home for the first time for my bachelors. It was fun. & I’m so glad I did. She uses the comp just to email me or her friends & family who happen to be far away.

Took a break, had dinner, yes I’d cooked, & you know what?it was totally wow-it was my everything-but-the-sink recipe, & I really liked it.

Sigh, now I’d better start on that assignment that should’ve been started earlier…

So I had a haircut today. I pointed out to a picture on the wall (Japanese cartoon style, long spikes)-that’s the cut I want…& the barber said, no, you can’t have that one with your hair…!Damn! Why do I always want that which is unattainable?!
