here is a day in the life of the most compulsive, compassionatte and original freak in the whole of blog-o-sphere . Went shopping for summer kurtas for son ... now don't think I went to any designer stores . Driver told me about a place in Pindi called Haathi Bazaar (Elephant Market) (hehehehe) that sold cheap one's . Bought him two . Felt immensely dissatisfied with the spending and thought of going into a clothes shop in Sadar . Liked some stuff, asked the shopkeeper it's price and bought 5 pairs of clothes that came to Rs. 6500 just 'cause the shopkeeper seemed to sneer at me and say oh-it's-too-expensive-for-you. Does this remind you of that episode of Friends where Monica buys a pair of boots for exactly the same reason ? That was enough for my pukhtun blood to start boiling and centuries of women shoppers screaming for revenge . UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ... I mean i ended up spending all of my pay in one go (went to a kids clothes shop next door) .

I have to admit though that I haven't had so much fun in some time . Coming back home with a dozen shopping bags in my hand is an exhilarating exdperience which most of you would agree with me on . Being the generous soul that I am , I have saved up 4 of the 5 suits to give to my sisters . This way I don't feel so guilty ... hehehehe .

It's Mother's Day today and I am at my cousin's again . Her kids are taking her out for Hi-Tea and I have invited myself along claiming to be the kids' godmother . God I love these angrezaan . So many excuses for going-out and giving gifts ... :D

Ciao my dahlin's. Gotta go "do" my hair ... xxx

2006-03-29T00:01:00.000-08:00

I am so BORED ... also I can't think of much to blog about . This is weird ... the latter part I mean . I am a chatahloic . I can talk for ages without really saying much . I try not to read anyone's posts no more also 'cause it's frustrating when I can comment . For example, zak has written a post about the different heads of state/govt. we have had and has conveninetly left out Benazir Bhutto . Chauvinist ... grrrrr .

Rai has closed down his blog . Probably Q or a publicity stunt . *eyebrows raised*

So much Aya writes I can relate to but can't comment .... :((

Blah blah . :p

A Note To All

2006-03-25T21:00:00.000-08:00

These are only 3 of the 75 stories the children wrote about Corporal Punishment . The ideas they came up with were morbid and very, very disturbing . It horrified me to see how they look at CP and how they feel about it . Sit back, keep the lights on and also someone close by ... do not, I repaet, DO NOT READ WHIL ALONE + it's X- Rated stuff for extreme violence . *Shudders*

Moral of the Story : Never hit a child . Yikesssssssss .

In Laws crossed their limit ... MIL says my son can't speak till now and is probably gonna stay mute because of me ... because I have a depressive disorder . First of all my son is only 2+ and gonna turn 3 in June (Insha Allah)and I checked on the net and talked to people on parental support groups and they all assured me it was pretty common specially amongst boys to start talking after the age of 3 and secondly I had postnatal depression that got worse due to lack of support and care at home ... meaning because of THEM ! But imagine how it would feel to a mother to be told that she is responsible for anything bad that might happen to her child . How difficult it is to accept your child is not normal . At first I was shocked and hurt beyong words at what she said but when sanity returned I thought what the heck ... she is just a jahil woman sitting at home with nothing better to do then make stupid stories in her head . If I start worrying over what she says then what's the point of my education . That thought helped quite a bit . Thank God I am out of there . Hubbie went crazy as usual once we reached there . Ughhhhh ... I could whine forever but now I am gonna stop feeling sorry for myself and thank Allah I am healthy, my son is well, I ahve a place to live in if not call home and Allah has been so kind in every way to me and He is there for me whenever I need Him . What more can a person ask for ? :D

On another note, just to remind you people, I am still unable to comment on any blog or read any without using an anonymizer and it takes ages for a page to open that way so I am sorry people ... will make it up to everyone ... and it does not mean I am not missing out on a lot and very AWARE of it . :((

We are celebrating Spring Festival in school . Will wear a sari . I love saris though I like shalwar kameez equally .

Ummmmm .... until next time ... this is moi ... SaneFreak or BeautifulStranger .... signing out ... take care everyone .... :p

School News

2006-03-09T10:25:00.000-08:00

I am not the kind of person who umps to conclusions about people ... even if I do I think I may be guilty of thinking too well of everyone and not the other way around . I have this colleague and from the very beginning I have found her slighgtly repulsive . That's probably because she is married and has a number of boyfriends and does nothing but talk to them all day long and uses really dirty language in school . Now that may be none of my concern but a few days back she said something that confirmed my suspicions/opinion of her . I was sitting with my son at pack-up and she comes and says "every time I see your son I want to rape him" . Now doesn't that send a shiver down you peoples spines ? I was disgusted . Even if it was a joke you can imagine how her brain works . Correct me if I am wrong but isn't that SICK ?!

Another piece of news is that the thief has finally been caught ! What thief ?? Okey, lemme tell you about that . The past couple of months teachers had been losing money out of their wallets/bags . We thought it might be the maids but they have been with the school for a long time and had a clean record, then it even came to the point when everyone started thinking it might be one of the teachers . I mean who else could walk into the staffroom and take money out of a teacher's bag ?? Finally a couple of days back the teachers became suspicious of a student . They laid a trap . Marked a note, put it in the wallet and left the purse behind during their games class . After the period was over tecaher checked and the note was gone . She checked the girl's bag and found it . It was shocking . I have been asking the teachers not to share it with the kids or make gossip out of it because the girl must have some serious psychological problem that should be dealt with .

Phew ... even working in a school is making me "grow up" a lot . Who would have thought such things actually happenned .

What The *********

2006-03-05T21:05:00.000-08:00

In Pakistan they have stopped netusers from accessing any blogs on blogspot 'cause of the cartoon controversy . What the heck ! Chalo, atleast I can post to my blog
(or is it post ON my blog ?!?!) Whatever ! Leaving this post specially for you ZAB . You may add me to your MSN by all means .

I am busy preparing for a small presentation about Spring Festivals . I HATE doing all this presentations business ... I am no good at it . I am getting lots of help though .

Isloo is no fun any more . For me the most fun part of going out is the food but 'cause of the bird flu and the mad cow diseaese and fear of something happening to the goats and fish there is nothing one can really eat outside . Chhalis (corn) are a good option but I didn't see any today . Are they out of season ???

My uncle's farm house looks awesome ... all the flowers have come out and the trees are blossoming, the grass looks soooo fresh and green ... you could "smell" spring . I am so happy I was born in Spring . Must be so depressing to be born in any other season ... no offense meant . Just wondering out loud ... :D

My Lowest Lows

2006-03-04T17:40:00.000-08:00

I am totally freaking out . I know it's no news for those of you who "know" me but seriously I am . I am having dreams again ... strong ones . And also having that deja vu thingie ... like bad things happening and me having known it in a dream but then not giving the dream any importance and then after ages when that very thing happens realizing that the dream was true . It's not a good feeling . Leaves me with a horrible headache everytime and leaves me totally exhausted . To most of you it doesn't make sense ... some of you might even think it has something to do with my depressive disorder but ........................................

2006-02-17T09:17:00.000-08:00

I feel like I am not a part of the family any more . My uncle died a few days back and noone told me . They didn't even call . Gave me some pathetic excuse about the strike and how I couldn't have made it . My other uncle lives here in Islamabad ... he and my cousins went . I could have gone with them . But of course not ... why would I wanna go . After all I am the only one married outside the family and now these people own me . I can't even attend my uncle's funeral . They never take me, invite me to the weddings and now even the deaths ? I am afraid if my parents die they won't tell me because why should I bother ? I hate them all .

Plus, phoned hubbie thinking it would be a good idea if he was around at such a time considering my history of depression and all but he had to take a friend out to dinner who had come from England the day before .

My faith was reaffirmed ... there is nothing like a good friend . Again when family disappoints me and leaves me alone it's a friend who steps forward, probably drops everything he has to do and spends hours talking to this pathetic excuse for a freak. Families SUCK and friends ROCK ... :(

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day ... :D

Mughlai Pathans ... and ... Damn I Missed It

2006-02-13T18:44:00.000-08:00

Heard the funniest thing the other day . A colleague in school claimed to be a Mughlai pathan from the race of Mehmood Ghaznavi ... LOLOLOLOLOL ... ROFL . I was like errr ... all mughals came from the Middle East ... plus Ghaznavi as in Ghazni as in that province in Afghanistan ... see the connection ? But of course she didn't . So many punjabis I meet tell me they are Kakazai pathans and I am liek if you are pathans then how are you punjabis as well ??? Oh puhlease freaks out there ... you know I am not i am not this punjabi vs. pathan vs. sindhi blah blah . I am just trying to tell you how people can be so silly and weird in some ways too . Then also notice how more than half of Pakistani population is either a syed or a Mian ... I mean we have more arabs in our country then Arab itself ... lol .

Oh yeah ... did I tell you guys what son did ? had been waiting for his nose to dry up as usual but before I could have myself a treat he came to me while I was checking my copies in complete ecstasy holding up his finger ... and what do I see .... ? Yes dahlin's yes ... it was a big huge juicy yummy somewhat greenish somewhat blackish BOOGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ... I am so proud of him . He has taken after me in so mnay ways . Only regret is I didn't get my hand on "it" first . Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha . Go puke now everybody .... :D

I feel Like S***

2006-02-12T20:26:00.000-08:00

yep I do ... that's the effect a trip to inlaws always has on me . Every time I go I tell myself I won't let anything anyone says to me trouble me or bring me down but then I fail soooo miserably . There is a limit to what a person can hear against one's self and ignore . Was happy for the weekend ... looking forward to it all "week" ... hoping to sleep and EAT proper food instead of the usual . How stupid of me . Sis-in-law's 4 kids were there that I adore and get alonmg with very well but this time they drove me nuts . I had a room upstairs but I shifted down after my father-in-law gave a room upstairs to them . Now the scenario is that they stay up till quarter past midnight every night watching tv and screaming and shouting and everything that kids their age do (eldest is 14, youngest are (twins) 8) . So there was no sleep for me or son . Then last night mother-in-law and her decide to talk loud enough for their voices to reach me and bitch about me . Ufffffffffffffffff ... I know I am not perfect ... far from it ... but then I have good points oo like all normal people . I have made some mistakes but then a few mistakes can wipe out all the good things that you do ???

I can go on for ever but don't want to . All I know is that if it weren't for my son or maybe my medication I would be long gone ... I am sick of fighting ... fighting for the most ridiculous things . I want a normal life . Hubbie says I am stupid, dumb, silly, mean etc . He says I don't make mistakes I do things deliberately because then otherwise how can I do things so well in school . I thought about that ... the reason is maybe that those people are just colleagues and don't expect anything from me (atleast not yet) ... they are not so quick to judge what kind of person I am . I have shades of grey ... lots and lots of grey ... but then on the brighter side ... it's black mixed with WHITE that gives you grey, isn't it ? Not making any sense ? I know ... I just confused myself as well . Hubbie also says my mother also talks behind my back ... I was like HELLOOOOOOO ... ?!?! She says nothing "behind my back" that she can't say to my face ... plus she is my MOTHER ! I am going nuts .

Weddings Season

2006-02-12T13:09:00.000-08:00

Every year between December and March it's the wedding season in Pakistan . Summers are too hot to have any weddings in . I don't like going to weddings ... the music is always too loud, the halls are crowded and the stampede at dinner time is the icing on the cake . But sometimes it's hard to avoid . Recently I been to one engagement and one dholki (a dholki is a small party at either the girl's or the boy's house in which the girls and boys "choreograph" dances for the main event) . The former I had to attend 'cause my inlaws had just come back from hajj and mom-in-law was too sick to go so I had to represent her . Usually weddings are segragated functions here but this was a mixed gathering . Gosh, the clothes some of the girls were wearing made me wanna look up and down and anywhere except at them . Same goes for the latter ... this was my best friend's pre-wedding party . Lots of fun till they started playing the music ... don't know why it has to be so ear-shattering loud . She told me to be there by 7pm, I arrived at 8 thinking I was fashionably late BUT .... of course not . People started coming at around 9pm and by the time I was ready to leave at 10pm they were still arriving . My wedding now had a very fauji style timing ... everything happenned on time . It was kinda sad to think she would be getting married and leaving her house and getting herself into all this marri8age s*** . Hope things are fairy-tale petrfect for her ... Amen . She will be going to live in America somewhere near Boston . I'll miss her soooo much ... :((

Que Sera Sera asked me to write about Islamabad . There is nothing much to write about it yara except that new boutiques are springing up everywhere and reminding me how poor I am ... boo hoo ... not to forget how FAT and CONSERVATIVE I am . The clothes are becoming shorter, sheerer and expensive-r . The coolest place to hang-out these days would be that shopping place in Jinnah Super near Afghan Bakers ... someone help me with the name here ?? Mondrian is a fun place and so is One Potato Two Potato ... but my fav. is Espresso Lounge . It's really kewl . everywhere you go you will see people selling red, heart-shaped balloons (Valentine's day remember ?), huge teddy bears are displayed in all shop windows that make me loathe myself for never having a rich-boyfriend or a sensitive, lovey-dovey hubbie (plus RICH) ... hehehehe . That's all for now folks ...... :D

I hate Maggie noodles

2006-02-08T21:09:00.000-08:00

I swear i do . Past couple of weeks or maybe even more ... seems like a gazillion weeks to me ... I have been eating nothing but these plus eggs in every possible style, fried, scrambled, boiled, omelette, french toasts ... you name it . I have yet to get my servant back . I am gonna make cauliflower again today for hubbie . I hate it myself and would never as much as taste it . I don'tlike food cooked by anyone other than my mother . Well my mother doesn't really cook herself but she has trained her cook well and he makes everything according to our (my) taste . That means almost everything is fried up and all vegetable is cooked and mashed till you can't tell what you are eating ... :D hehehe . Oh yeah gonna try adding chicken cube to the cauliflower as suggested by drpak last time . Let's see what happens .

Went to Gelatto Affair with my nieces and nephews ... infact they went with me . Had a Peach Melba and a cold coffee ... yummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyy . My cousin says I and my son can go with her to U.S. of A. in summers . I am trying not to get my hopes up too high 'cause chances are I won't get a visa but still that would be AWESOME ! One of my friends tried for a visa and everything went well but in the end the guy says you are too beautiful ... I can't give you a visa ... also what guarantee can you give me you won't get involved in terrorist activities there . She had her 5 years old son with her and was like ... do I look like I am a terrorist ? I told her you should have told him ... you are having terrorist attacks 'cause of this reason ... you are giving visas to the wrong people and denying it to the right one's ... so much for your intelligence agencies . Anyways, it's a long shot . I don't even have a passport or even a marriage certificate ... :D

So wish me luck people ... I need a li'l bit oif it in my life . Ughhhh ... everytime I promise myself I would never say THAT ... I say IT . Allah is so merciful to me yet I go on whining . AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ...........

This & That

2006-02-07T22:37:00.000-08:00

Here are a few lines I would like to dedicate to the youth of our nation :

Rise like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number;
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many, they are few .
The Mask of Anarchy by Shelley (again)

The topic in staffroom was "If America invades Iran it will use Pakistani Military bases . If Pakistan doesn't allow them will America not invade us" . Pretty long topic huh ? Hehe . I kept listening to their stupid debate and finally couldn't take it any longer because I was checking a drama notebook in which the kid had come up with his own names for all the characters of Twelfth Night : Marvolio, Voila, Oilivia, Orisino, Untino .... AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH and this too after 2 weeks of teaching them and writing all spellings on the board . So anyway I just looked up from my checking and asked them : What do you think American Army helicopters are doing buzzing over our heads ... what are American soldiers doing running operations in our tribal areas without the knowledge of our government ? Damn man, people can be so dumb ... or I think they would rather be dumb then accept the truth ... we are just an American colony . Every time in the past when martial laws have been thrown over in Pakistan it's always been the youth, the college and university students who have come out onto the streets and asked for their rights . What's wrong now ? Why have we become so passive ? Why are we accepting everything so blindly ? The other day in an interview PM (for those of you who don't know what the abbreviation stands for it's Pervez Musharraf) was asked that in almost all Islamic states there was no democratic government . Could that be the reason why they had such a slow development rate ? And he says but Pakistan has a democracy, I might be in uniform but I have brough on the essence of democracy which was missing earlier . UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ... I don't wanna go on any more .

Yes, yes people I DO know a bit about politics . Duh . Now coming to more interesting things ... watched the Mask of Zorro again the other day . Ahhhhhhhhhhhh .... I LOVE ANTONIO BANDERAS . Melanie Griffith is soooo ugly . How the heck did she "get" him ???

School is fun . I hate missing even a single day . I have to give a treat for my first pay ... all teachers have to . Wondering what to take ... I don't know how to cook ... or atleast anything other than my hubbie would eat . Any suggestions people ? remember I ahve to keep up my cool gal image . I may be too poor even to afford an internet card but people must think I come from some nawab's family . :D:D

Son has started saying 1,2,3,4 and ABCD ... although he laughs his head off every time I ask him to say D ... don't get it why ? Try saying it slow and with the proper phonetics . Also noone can understand his 1 and 4 ... he says Aaannn and foeeee . Awwwww ... this is soooo cute, he just agve me a kiss ...

What's the plan for Valentines Day people ? Of course hubbie is not takeing me anywhere . last time I gave him 3 cards ... one for each year we had been together ... he read them, put them in the drawer ... went to Lahore the next day to his sweetheart and forgot them there . isn't that great ? hehehehehehe .

I and a few colleagues are planning to go to Marriott ... and no I am not telling you when ... too clever to do that ... :D Anyway, yeah so we are going for lunch soon . I can't decide what I should wear . Damn !

I WANT AN iPOD ... BOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... :(((

Was teaching about onomatopeia today ... students couldn't stop giggling over the name . Asked them for a song that uses Repetition (for chorus) and the examples they came up with embarrassed MEEEE .... here are some of them ... AAP KI KASHISH, AASHIQUE BANAYA, JADU HAI NASHA HAI ......... YIKES ! i suggested we stick to Dil Dil Pakistan . Kids in school think I can't speak urdu because u8s teachers are not supposed to speak it infront of kids (colonial hangover) ... so they also think I am a Christian . There is one child in my class who is a Christian ... some of the things the kids say to him or about him in class are horrid . The other day I was mad at him because I kept telling everyone to take out their books but he kept on looking outside the window . So I say to him "Aren't you either a boy or a girl that's why you aren't taking out your book?" ("Boys and girls take out your books" hehe) . Another child says , "No ma'am he isn't a boy or a girl. He is a Christian". I was soooo mad . I made him apologize to him . These are things these kids learn at home . It's horrid .

Okey ta ta .

HERESSSSSSSSSSSS BEAU

2006-02-05T08:16:00.000-08:00

*Applause, Applause* *Bow* *Waving Hand* ... ahemmmmm ... okey awright . Ah guys a long time I have been away from here . Been missing you freaks .

Before I start off my on my freakiness I have to apologize to you reza/anzarius . I didn't mean to offend you ... of course you are a pal ... only thing is I and zaksie just go a long way back ... soweeeeeeee anyway ... :D

Now coming to my favourite topic ... hubbie bashing ... :D He has found a new way of torturing me ... through my son . Last night (ahem get ready for this) I burnt baby's milk bottles ... actually I melted them . Left them to boil and forgot to take them out ... with the result there was nothing but completely melted plastic left of it . I phoned hubbie and asked him to get new one's ... he came back at half past midnight without them . Asked him to go get them but he refused ... so poor baby had to go to sleep without his milk . I almost had an episode but God took mercy . Hmmmm .... end of topic ... let's leave it here .

Am at my cousin's . She has good reason to think I am a nerd . :p haven't been blogging 'cause had no money to get credit for net . girls here is an advice for you all ... never marry a government servant !

Got my first pay ... yippppeeee ! Am borrowing earrings from my nieces ... have to keep up the impression on the little girls . hehehehehe .

Heard a joke ... here it is ...
2 men die . An angel comes to decide whether to send them to heaven or hell . He asks the first one his name ... he answers Akhlaas . Angel asks him to recite sura-e-akhlaas . He does so and is sent to heaven . Asks the second man his name . His name happens to be Yaseen ... he replies ... my name is Yaseen but my nickname is Kausar .

A Little Bit Of Shelley ...

2006-01-25T18:41:00.000-08:00

TO -------

One word is too often profaned
For me to profane it,
One feeling too falsely disdained
For thee to disdain it.
One hope is too like despair
For prudence to smother,
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.

I can give not what men call love,
But wilt thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens reject not,
The desire of the moth for the star
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?

2006-01-25T08:36:00.000-08:00

Heard a firangi asking a girl in the headoffice lounge why the admission officer (what do you call those people who give out admissions in schools ???) was so late and the girl replied giggling "it's Pakistan! It's normal here" . Gosh I was soooo angry . My patriotism woke up and was extremely offended and I had to hold back the reins real tight not to give the stupid girl a good telling-off .

Went to get a tricycle for my son . Found a really nice looking made in pakistan one . Bought it, brought it home, he played for 5 minutes on it ... no rough play, just sitting nicely on it and noticed the gum holding the lights onto the cycle peeling off, the front handles almost coming off, the horn wouldn't blow .... Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .... kab tak aakher ... kab tak sabbar karoon ....... YES IT IS PAKISTAN, THIS IS NORMAL HERE ! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

With Apologies To The Sikh Community ... Here Is Another One

2006-01-25T06:44:00.000-08:00

A Sikh hears too many jokes about stupid sikhs ... feeling annoyed he calls a meeting of all his community . He asks them who was making all the jokes ... someone tells him it's a guy called Richard living in New York . He goes to NY, finds Richard and asks him was it really him making all the stupid sikh jokes and if he doesn't give a satisfactory answer he was gonna kill him . Richard tries to deny in the beginning but then he admits to being the culprit ... he tells the sikh he could kill him if he answered one of his questions . Sikh agrees . Richard asks, there are 3 people living in my flat ; my mother, my wife and who is the third . The Sikh thinks and thinks but can't answer ... tells Richard he won't kill him but he has to tell him the answer . Richard gives the answer ... pointing to himself he says, "Third person is Richard".

Sikh goes back to Amritsar ... tells his relatives he fa
iled to kill Richard because he asked him a very difficult question that he couldn't answer but if they answered it right he would go back to NY and kill him . They ask him the question . He repeats it ... noone is able to answer it . They ask him and he replies, "My wife, my mother and (pointing to himself) Richard ! "

Been trying to hibernate lately but this "zaalim samaj" (cruel society) won't let me . I wish I lived in a multi-storey building and then i could go "Up on A Roof" and be happy for a while . Not that I am not happy ... just that I need some time to myself , without any mundane thoughts . I don't want to think about the latest insult hubbie hurled at me, how I am going to survive the rest of the month in whatever money I have got left, what to wear to school next day, will I ever be a "normal" person again ... and blah blah . Past 3 years since I have been married it's been drilled so much into my head that I am some looney from Mars or some place even worse that i ahve literally started believing it . I just can't do anything right and worse still I accept it that way . Ugh ... why am I whining again ???

At the moment all I want from life is enough money to buy an iPod ... seriously ! I love my music and I take it very serious ... it's one thing that has been my saviour at times when I have just given up hope . Hubbie doesn't like my choice of music ... he is more into Beethoven, Chopin etc while I can't stand those though I do like Yanni and Kenny G . I listen to anything from "Yay Raat Bheegi Bheegi" to "Babu Ji Zara Dheere Chalo", from "Hollaback Girl" to "I Have Had The Time Of My Life" .

Okey I admit this is a lousy post ... can't help it ... am in a lousy mood .

I didn't have access to the net past few days ... wanted to put up a special post on the 19th of Jan for zaksie ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY pal .................. :p

what nonsense

It's 1 am and i can't sleep . firstly i went to bed feeling hungry but stubbornly refusing to believe it . After an hour of tossing and turning in bed i get my lazy b*** out of the bed . problem now was it's raining outside, the way to the ki9tchen is through a huge empty place with a tin roof and no glass in the windows ... had to grope around in the dark looking for something warm to put on ... bumped into my son's squelchy rubber duck, stepped on his plastic spiderman (and that hurt), stumbled over an empty water bottle and finally found my hubbie's coat . Went out, made myself my most favourite midnight meal fried eggs and cold, staling bread (YUCK) and came out into the tv lounge (doesn't that sound like a lovely name for a 4 by 4 cell with a tv and a pc in it and a heater that won't even burn a polyester sock) . Anyways, here I am rambling on about nothing at all . I can't even think of a decent song to hum to myself ... all I can think of is Ladki Hai Ya Chhadi Hai Pattakhey Ki Lari Hai Shola Hai Phuljari Hai ........... :(((

Things were pretty tense past 36 hours but are okey now ... won't go into details but I assure you once I get enough money in my hands I will never ever return to this place again or to these people ... will take my son and disappear somewhere where I can start anew .......... :((((

Bought my son 2 books from Saeed Book Bank in Isloo ... these people are soooo expensive ... could have hopped over to the old book shop oppositte but since SBB started off from Peshawar so I have a soft spot for the place .... anyway so why am I whining ? Hmmm .... yeah bought a spiderman coloring book that he wouldn't put back on the shelf since he loves the stupid character and another is a book specially for toddlers . It's about a piglet that won't eat and says YUK to everything . Tell me people is it right to try and teach my on through a book with a pig as the main character .... you guys know what our religion thinks of the animal !

Enough ................ have to wake up for school in the morning .... better get going ... the beautiful teacher with the pretty earrings is sitting here in her red satin pj's that she asked her cousin to bring thinking she might look like Madhuri (that's the highest I can aim for) but obviously my hair are a mess, I don't have any make up on and the zits are coming on like anything thanks to all the gurr (that sweet stuff made in villages out of sugar cane and dry fruits) I have been hogging on .

AHHHHHHHHHH ........ TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY ........ BECAUSE I AM WORTH IT ...... AND BECAUSE IN THIS CASE BEAUTY IS MORE THAN SkIN DEEP ............ YAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN .......

Modest = Moi ??? Naaaaaaaaaaaa
