plans and signs
finally my horoscope - which i am now somewhat obsessed with checking regularly - says that something great is about to happen. actually, it says great thingS (plural) are going to happen starting this december cos jupiter (the planet bringing all the good fortune) and five other planes are alligned...which never happens in our lifetime. anyway, whatever the reason, i feel like it's about freaking time something good happened. and i can sort of feel it already. i feel much better than i have in years for various reasons. everything seems so much clearer now. am now almost done with my course and i'm ready to find a job...but not before taking a few months off. i am planning on going to nepal to finally visit the country of my orgin (half of it anyway). and learn more about my dad's side of the culture. i am so excited about that and it'll be even greater if i can be there for the tibetan new year. then i'm going to work at my brother's new cafe part time and maybe find part time accounting work. and babysit my pudgy little niece. also, i really want to do volunteer work. i've been inspired by my best friend from high school who i had lost touch with for more than a year. she's in indonesia doing all kinds of good deeds and i feel that i want to do some of the same. it'll also be a good break away since i cannot stand staying in one city or country for more than a year...i think the need for travel is a major sagittarius trait. in addition to it being the bachelor(ette) sign...that's me in a nutshell.

on a weekly basis, I’m being approached by men who want to share the gospel with me…as in literally share the word of the lord jesus Christ their saviour. today, I was (politely) interrupted during lunch at uni. not even a park bench or outside the train station. now it’s outside my uni library. these people are everywhere. also, now I’m more confused as to whether I look like I am in need of divine help or whether I look like I’d make a good Christian girl. either way, i'd like to eat my sushi without having to pretend i'm in a hurry and gobble it up instead of enjoying it with my little soy sauce fish-shaped plastic thingy. |

locking myself up in the house for seven days to study for the hardest effing mid-term in the history of mid-terms (3 hours long) has paid off. i got a 56%. that sounds bad but getting a 50 (just pass) is the goal of most people in this course. but instead of celebrating, i actually worked four days straight to earn some extra cash. god i'm such a good human being. i can feel a halo forming. anyway, i'm back to my old routine of not studying and eating too much and just being my lazy self. i also need to post more convos that i have with customers on lj...here is one from the past week regarding where i am from: customer: where is your name from? (note that he asked where my NAME is from...not where I am from) me: bhutan customer: ohhhhhh (gives a knowing look) me: (smiling...thinking he knows where it is) customer: i go to thailand a lot!!! me: erm...yeah, beautiful country...thailand (thinking: it's the same continent yes...you got that right at least)...yeah...ok bye. fuck off. and i got another one who was pissy because i informed him that bhutan is next to nepal and he replied, "I KNOW where it is." well 99.9% of the people don't know where it is. ok make that 99% cos in the past ten years i've been noticing that 0.9% more people know where it is exactly. feckers.

so now i'm just sitting at home downloading tupac, dre/snoop and trying to rap along yelling out "LBC 123" or "Compton" every five seconds...and feeling all gangsta. or as gangsta as an accounting student can feel. i think it's to do with anger issues i've been having this week relating to noisy neighbours playing horrible R&B crap from the mid 90's (so loud that my floor was vibrating) and irritating school children on my 7am train. i actually screamed at my neighbours and played rock music loudly with my stereo facing their apartment. and yesterday i yelled at this 6 ft tall school kid who ran into me right as i was getting out of the train after a long, tiring day. i just screamed "WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!!!!?" i think i scared at least 5-10 kids around me. i felt like a grumpy 50 year old grumpy. and other similar occurrences which i just can't be bothered to unload. i guess being passive and then suddenly being aggressive has its rewards. you definitely feel empowered. if you were aggressive all the time you wouldn't notice the difference. this whole thing reminds me of the time in london...i had had a few beers and the coat check woman who had given me one tag for two coats gave me back only one coat. and when i asked her for the other coat, even though i had paid for both coats, she refused to give it back. i yelled/screamed and almost jumped over her window to get the coat back. she was smart enough to comply. anyway, like i said, you remember these little moments as momentous occasions when you are usually passive. |

update!!!
time to reminisce about the past year as well as look ahead. 2005 was definitely about family. i spent more time with them than i have in years. i think i really needed that. aside from that, i'm doing well at school and i've still got a part-time job. and now, i plan on making 2006 a year for having fun. haha. am i actually setting up a goal? i'm 24 now. i better have some goals. i mean, my grandmother demanded that i go out and get a boyfriend. she is an 80+ year old south asian woman so i expected her to say that i should be looking for a husband. in a way, it's pretty sad that it has come to this...but mostly cute/funny. anyway, it's actually started out a fun year...i expected to come back from beijing to find an empty apartment. i have never arrived at an airport where there was no one to pick me up. last year, my brother, his wife (with my niece in womb) and my sister were at the airport waiting for me. even in london for my half-year study abroad, i had friends to pick me up at heathrow. so however overly sentimental this sounds, as the plane landed at sydney airport, i was quite depressed at the thought of finally having no one to pick us up. however, after more than a week, we (my sister and i) came to the realisation that quite a few people had actually missed us. and all of a sudden we have all these plans to go out or do things. so the weather's good and everyone around me is in a good mood. i think i need to go to the beach soon. |

it's been an eventful two weeks (after months of nothing but classes and exams) : my ipod came in the mail my parents arrived for their month long vacation and then my niece finally showed up (hence the icon) so now my music is organised, my mom's cooking all her great dishes and there's the sweetest little thing living with us. awww. also, finally got to know a few people at uni and of course, the slackers are starting to unite.

today, despite relatively tight finances, my parents donated quite a bit of money towards the tsunami relief fund. i'm always thankful for having them as parents but today, i'm especially grateful. anyway, i'll help in the near future by getting a job and spending less on things i want rather than need. |

my mommy rocks
so it's been six months since i graduated from college. sometimes it seems like it's only been a month and other times it feels like i've been out of that world for years already. and it's been a month since i've updated this thing. what have i been upto? getting accepted to grad schools (thank god) losing weight (10 pounds so far and counting...being concerned about my weight is a new thing for me and i'm enjoying this obsessive behaviour) shopping (no malls around here but the shit i find here is super...like buying bright yellow cashmere scarves for 5 dollars) what else? erm...i went cd shopping (all the cd stores here in pakistan carry ONLY pirated merchandise so cd's are less than two bucks each and dvd's are about 2 and a half dollars. i bought: gwen stefani's l,a,m,b (love it) jay-z's black album eminem's encore destiny's child (for my brouvah) can't find other cd's i want tho. they have crap rock selection but a plethora of hip hop and pop. and the dvd collection is amazing. and what i really only wanted to say in this entry is that i took my mom to the cd store and she was looking for CLAY AIKEN...haha...i love my mom. so now i know she likes tupac (at least the song "dear momma" for obvious reasons) and warren g's "regulate" and now clay aiken. and john denver. but who doesn't like john denver. also my mom rocks cos when i was in high school, being the only child who had not left for college yet, she let me stay home at least once a month to just hang out and shop since i'd tell her "i've done all my homework (true) and people in school suck (true) and i KNOW i'm not going to learn anything today (true) so i'd rather go to the mall with you (very true)." haha memories... anyhoo, now that i'm leaving for sydney in a month i'm starting to miss living/hanging out with my parents in asia. i love this continent. my peeps. af;ladskjsae;jsaj |

tv in pakistan pt.1/the USelection through the eyes of people who are not american and live far away
i might have mentioned before that in pakistan - where i'm currently residing with my parents - the one american channel we receive is fox news....fair and balanced with bill o'reilly or whatever. and right next to that channel, i have purposely placed al arabia and a few other arab news networks which we receive...just for s&g. pictures to come soon. more cheap thirlls of mine: at least two pakistani channels are keeping track of the election. and it's extremely amusing to hear so many people (not from ohio) talk about ohio. also amusing just to hear the word "ohio" spoken in various accents. this would also be amusing to my dear ohion friend ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) farketterants if she were here watching tv with me. however, most amusing is seeing my mom - who is also not american, like me - yelling at the tv. i guess this just shows the importance of this election outside of the us, regardless of whether or not people want to admit it. but the current projections has my stomach in knots.

so i'm officially having bmc withdrawal symptoms. no, i'm not missing the food, the campus, the profs or the classes, and i'm definitely not missing the (non-academic related) events that took place during the last few months there...although i must say farketterants and mishtorch did help make a situation that was just plain scary to something that was scarily hilarious. i just miss having friends around and doing/watching/saying weird stuff and getting away with it...like im'ing friends in the same room or playing drunk scrabble. i know that in law school in australia i won't have that same environment cos i'll probably be surrounded by 45 year olds who have been lawyers for two decades. oh god i'm going to cry. oh, and my aussie visa documents which i must go through today consists of about 200+ pages/forms. yay!

i'm finally updating this thing. i've decided to use this lj (livejournal)j from now on as a space to keep family and friends updated about what's goign on in my life...whether or not anything is actually going on is an entirely different matter. since i'm absolutely the worst at keeping in touch with my dear ones, i think lj will be helpful in changing that. hopefully. s |
