" What is not clear is not french"

Yes readers, today was my first day at Alliance Francaise de Karachi. It was good, rather awesome. I knew some tooti phooti french, like some words and phrases, so I didn't get much bewildered. I always thought othat most people know what Bonjour, Comment allez vous, and Adieu means, but I was wrong when I found some 2 -3 students asking 'why bonjour is not pronounced the way its written and what does comment mean?'

A student couln't understand why was I being called a mademoiselle and the other female student as madam. lol. And also why all the male students sitting there were Messieur (and why not something else?) . Anyway, the class was fun! But sometimes, you really get stuck with pronunciation. Like, how to pronounce Vous? Sometimes you have to say ony Vou, forgetting the S, and sometimes you have to join this very S with the next word. And sometimes, you have to pronounce this Vous as voutkh. Errr, confusing??? Well, it used to be for me but not now! The best thing is that our teacher speaks most of the sentences in french. So, we pick the language very quickly.

Today we learnt some 10 sentences, out of which I knew 5. Yay! But, I'd say French is not difficult! I'm saying so probably because its one of the languages I always wanted to learn.

Cheerio folks (or should I say Adios Amigos) hahaha

Few moments ago, I opened Google. There, I typed 'Dinky Mind' and hit the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button (although I wasn't feeling that lucky)...and then I was directed to this page. I chose the blue door. Well, nothing special happens if you choose the other two doors. And then what happens next is simply amazing!
"Intrigued? Mystified? Of course you are." That's what the last page of all this (drama ?) says. But it is thought-provoking.
I found it good. No matter how much I tried to cheat, Linky was destined to win every time =) This was Linky and Dinky's latest trick!
Gotta go now...
Cheerio everybuddy :o)

My God, that was simply horrible. Changing a layout is no easy job. But Alhamdolillah, I have done it. It took me two complete nights to change this layout. Actually, last night I tested it on my test blog. Everything was ok there. So, today I finally decided to change it. But then, things got messed up on this blog. And don't ask how much messy!
Oh my God, I switched on the computer at 11 pm and now its almost 5 am.... means it took me 6 hours to get this Poohy layout fixed! Phew! But then I am extremely happy. Atleast I did it myself! I could have got it done by anybody, but then when Hafsa said - that you just have to copy, paste the stuff - I gave a try. Furthermore, BiYA's optimism - You can do everything, just everything if you try - gave me strength to do all this.

Thankyou:
Blogskins,
Hafsa,
BiYA,
Me [you're welcome Me]

So now I want:
Chocolates [for VLady and myself]
Accolades,
Vicks VapoRub [To rub it on my mosquito-bitten feet]
Solitude,
Sleep!

Cheerio folks! *snoring*

November 2001...ahh, when I used to have time, blank papers, pencil and an eraser...ahhh....those were the best days of my life ;o)







These are 2 chinese kids The little boy is eating a bisuit, and the girl is keeping oranges (/apples/ peach /laddoo/ ice balls/ tennis balls...pata nahi kia) under the caps of naval officers and sailors. I like the boy; his left arm particularly, and not the girl, cuz she has got pretty weird legs (notice her knee...lol). I shouldn't be saying like that about my own sketches. I should be asking you guys the strengths and weaknesses...So, your time starts now!!!!

Cheerio everybuddy :o)

I love this lady, although she's not at all cool, but still I like her. I like her jewellery, her dupatta, and the shading. The thing that was most difficult to draw was the nose (as always), and her lips (which are, infact, spoiling the whole sketch). Rest is just ok. It took me more than 6 hours to complete this sketch. Phew! But again I'll say, I love this of my sketch very much [its very very realistic if you view the unscanned version - the original sketch]

Cheerio :o)

Well readers, if you have a good eyesight, you will notice that I made this thing on Jul 10, 2004! Which makes it my latest sketch.
This is not at all looking cool this way. I'm not satisfied with this scanned version...nah nah nah!
I think readers, you are smart enought to know what does this key unlocks, right? ;o)

That's all folks :o) [that's a cute smiley, dont ya think so?] ;o)

Cheerio =)
