Bells of hell are chiming!

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Tuesday, October 31, 2006 in
Oh well, again!!!! As always, exams are near, and I am not prepared! I'm so darn busy in this series of Office's assignments. I just hate them. And to our displeasure, the same teacher is teaching Office now who taught us Programming in the last semester. She just loves to see us under pressure and all tied up in work! I don't know what's her problem. She fires a torpedo of real lengthy assignments exactly when the exams are near! Now, our mid terms are starting from coming Monday, and we've to submit 2 stooopid, ultra-legthy assignments by coming Friday! Is this sanity? Arrrghhhh!!! And, not to forget, we've to submit this *!#%$^$ project of ours before our final exams. Can't have 2 seconds of relaxation in this semester either!

And now, coming to the nightmare of my life. Finance! The teacher has been changed and this new teacher is trying his best to teach "How To Use A SIMPLE Calculator"!!!! Yes, you read it correct. He says, "In life, we face problems. What if one day you discover you don't have a calculator, a scientific or a financial calculator? What are you going to do?" Now that's a million dollar question!!! In this world of technology he's taking us back to simple calculator. I'm afraid by the end of the semester we would have learned to use an Abacus!

Boff!

That's all for today. I hope I manage to get good grades, though it seems difficult! Ah, I need your prayers, loads of 'em.

Cheerio!

A 20,000 worth eidi

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Monday, October 30, 2006 in
Well, yes! I got my eidi a day before chand raat (makes 28th roza). The story goes like this:

My dad asked his friend (who's in Saudia) to get a cell phone (any camera-wala cell phone). This uncle friend was arriving Pakistan on 18th October. I asked Dad to specify the model. I wanted Nokia 3230. Dad didn't agree. After 2 days (October 12th), I again asked him to message his friend and kindly specify the model. He, tired of my whinings, messaged him. After a few minutes the reply came! Dad read the reply quite slowly, and a million questions started running around my head the moment message came. I thought if he'd bought anything less than a 3230 or any other cell phone that I don't want/like.

Dad read: "I have already..."
Me: (all sad) *oh my my, so he has ALREADY bought something?!?!*
Dad: "...bought Nokia..."
Me: *please don't test my patience. Say it once, i'd accept it, even if it's any ajeeb-sa model*
Dad: "N70!"
Me: *electrocuted* " A WHATTTTTT?"
Dad: "N70. That's what he has written"
Me: *jumps around the whole house* Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I wanted to have 3230, I was about to get it before Ramadan. But then I came to know that software problems are becoming common in this model, and so it had been swapped away from the market. And now, tada, me has got an awesome-ish cell phone.

I just can't recall for how long I just wished to have an awesome-ish cell phone, but now, Alhamdolillah, I've got one. Yay =)

Stay jealous!!! :p

Oh, (belated) Happy Eid to all of my readers :p
