a very chicken day

Sikander and I woke up at 6 in the morning (i know it’s crazy) and had chicken kebab before we left his parents’ Mississauga house.

Later, at home, we got hungry again so we had a home-made chicken sandwich.

We had to move a few more things from missisauaga house to our apartment so we went to Mississauga house again and started loading boxes. On the way home, sikander wanted to have Wendy’s spicy chicken; he has to have Wendy’s spicy chicken whenever he feels exhausted or frustrated.. so here we go.. our third chicken treat.

Oh, talking about Wendy’s, about two weeks ago, when we were fixing the pickering house, we went to Wendy’s to have spicy chicken. Later in the evening, when we were still fixing things in the pickering house, sikander’s mom called to say that Wendy’s called asking for “sikander”. After we hung up the phone, we thought:

hmmm Wendy’s called… why?”
oh did we win something?
oh my god.. we won something, what is it, what is it
i have never won anything in my life.. but it’s happening right now!
but how did they get the Mississauga phone numnber?
maybe through my credit card. i haven’t updated all the addresses and phone numbers

Later, sikander asked me for something and I told him:

it’s in my purse
where is your purse?
somewhere overthere
no, i can’t find it
oh no, i think i left my purse in Wendy’s

Thankfully we found it at Wendy’s. The restaurant manager was keeping it safe and she told us that after waiting for an hour she went through the purse contents to find a phone number.

We unloaded the boxes at our apartment and headed back to Mississauga to return the van. At Mississauga, we went out on an errand and also visited the Halal meat place to buy some meat. When we came out of the store, there was an indian/pakistani restaurant nearby called “Tandoori Bazzar“. the smell comming out of the place was so nice so that you can’t just pass by. So we went inside even though we were full :) and ordered “Chicken Katakat” which is sikander’s favourite. I love Tandoori and wanted to try the tandoori chicken here. The last time I had tandoori was at the Indian restaurant in Luzern, Switzerland back in October 2005. So, we had two more chicken meals… omg, we were so so so full…

We came home by GO bus and counted how much chicken we had today: Chicken kebab, chicken sandwich, Wendy’s spicy chicken burger, Chicken katakat, and chicken tandoori… nothing but chicken. No wonder everything tastes like chicken.

sikander always has a hard time remembering most of the names of my coworkers so we have made lots of nicknames. i guess some of these are mean :):) but they are just our own funny nicknames that makes it easier to talk about my coworkers. some of the nicknames are: too much makeup girl, girl who has two kids, head of the first floor, once my roomate at appu, and senior who hates me. hehe. all of them are good friends, good coworkers and good people! the nicknames just make it easier to talk about them.
