a new beginning

3:46 pm – And so here we go… A whole new diary. I wanted to start this on january 1st 2000… but i just couldnt wait till then. hehe. I thought of doing this last night as i was going to bed. I was thinking how time passes by soo fast. And then i was thinking how i can read all my old diaries and relive the events that transipred and made me into what i am today [what a wonderful oppurtunity for someone to make a joke about me here.. hehe] and so i thought i should start writing again… but you know what.. writing by hand is soo tedious and boring nowadays. Gimme a keyboard and i’ll type till the world ends.. or till i feel like getting up for a coke / pepsi :o) its only 3:46 right now.. and i’m fasting right now.. we break our fast at sunset. its from sunrise to sunset for one month every year… part of the religion. almost half an hour to go… so i have to get going and start making some food etc… its usually my job to make the juice… oh i *love* fruit punch… its the best juice flavour [is that what u call it ? ] here in Canada. okay.. me gone. 12:54 am – ShowCase was showing VALMONT today.. Its been a long time since i’ve seen anything on tv.. i just dont feel like it anymore.. but this movie is one of my favorites.. anyways, didnt do much today. just worked on my new webpage all day. opened two new accounts with tripod to store some images. now i have accounts with tripod , xoom , fortune city , homestead, webjump ,and muslimsites. thats a lot  :o)  i dont like xoom anymore because they have that annoying frame on top of everypage now.. i prefer ad windows when going to these free sites. one can always close them right away.. geocities also has this new ad thingie which pops up on the top-right side.. theyre annoying !! but i guess thats what you pay for getting free storage space.. wouldnt it be wonderful to have unlimited space on some server.. and to have your own domain.. www.sikander.com. wheeee.. i would love that. hehe once in my computer’s class in highschool this guy was annoying a friend of mine, sunkit, way too much.. and then he asked sunkit about some web address.. and so sunkit replies : ” its www.blah.com. you want me to spell www for you ?” hehehe. we used to have these old old old Macs in highschool. and they taught us Pascal on those. A very useless language nowadays… but you have to start somewhere. and my teacher was pretty good. and hey it was my first computer language so i liked it. now i’ve finished a course in Java in university. they still havent posted the marks for our fifth assignment yet.. the marks were spozed to go online before the exams in the 2nd week of december… oh well. i wish i get full marks in this 5th last assignment too.. i got full in the rest  :o)) i guess thats about it for today.. i should be going to sleep now… i want to write everyday here… let’s see how that turns out. take care everyone and adios..

School and nightschool

Been a long time. Day 3 in school. Western civilizations class and then watched the movie Valmont. Actually a re-make of the movie called Dangerous Liasons (John Malkovich, Uma Thurman, Michelle Pffeifer). Had a computer class with Shekhar and Mr. Fox. We worked on the data structures assignment. Delia was not in Physics class. Tanvir was missing as well. Business English has a stupid test. Lunch was ok. CBC is covering the possible closure of Merivale High School.

Spent the spare period in the ESL room with Yosra, Alidhooh, Deqo, Harry and Muhammad. Khadro is in my group for Calculus. We had to present today. Efim somehow learned my nickname at home and kept teasing me by calling me “beta mani”

I’ll write everything that happened over the summer pretty soon. I’ve been reading The Idiot by Dotoveysky. Slept after school. Had nightschool today. Got 95% on the exam. 75% on the last test. I’m in class with Chandonette, Salma, and Aisha.

Skid is starting his job at Taima Corp. from November 9th. Good for him. It’s online tech support… just for the experience. He’s still working on his GENERATIONS mod for Quake 2. It rocks!

Writing in the dark

Have you ever written in the dark before ? It feels really weird. Right now I can just see my hands moving on a white sheet. I can barely see the dark shapes that I am making on the face of this page.

Anyway, paa came in the room at 1 AM and told me to go to sleep. I said sure. Turned off the computer and then went to bed. And now it is 2:16 AM and I still haven’t fallen asleep. So, I said, “what the heck, let’s start writing again”. And that’s what this is.

So, how was today ? Pretty good I should say. I woke up at around 2. Maa and Paa were worried that we haven’t been able to spend time together lately. They went to Montreal about 3 days ago and came back late at night. The next day they went to Toronto. They spent the night there. Came back and then immediately went to Shaheen family’s house. I have started to dislike them now for oh-so-many reasons.

Anyhow, I got up and Paa, Maa left to meet Mr. Shaheen again. Shekhar called and we decided to go watch a movie. Today was Saturday so the ticket was for $6.50. He arrived at 3:50 PM and I told him about my new record of staying online: 12 hours and 38 minutes.

We called Tanvir and asked him if he wanted to join and said sure. So, we left to go to Merivale Mall and bought OC Transpo bus tickets. 10 tickets for 7 dollars and 50 cents.

On to South Keys cinema via Bus #176. Bought the tickets and then popcorn. We watched There’s Something About Mary. It was hilarious. So damn funny. “We have a bleeder”, “Is that hair gel?” After that, we sneaked into Ever After: A Cinderella Story. Tanvir wanted to watch that and so did I. Drew Barrymore was awesome in the movie.

Got home around 10:30. Then I drove and took Shekhar to his house: 20 Drewberry Crescent.

Dinner was koftay (meatballs). Read a little bit of I, Asimov. Thrawn played Quake. Then I went on ICQ at 12:45. Paa told me to go to bed at 1. Now, I’m just lying here.

Listened to Re-United after a long time. Wow, its 2:26 AM now.

God, when am I going to sleep. Skid is visiting from Toronto on the 23rd. Together again after 2 years.

School will be starting soon as well.

Okay, later.
