I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
.. Just like the one's I used to know.
Where treetops glisten
and children listen
to hear sleigh bells in the snow.. =)
Since it's finally Christmas tomorrow, I thought I'd have an early Year review.. Oh, and up North, it definitely feels more Christmasy.. I think it's the *extra* coldness, and I think it may as well be a White Christmas! Yaay!
But anyway, here goes:
This year I/My..
- Lost my way.. At least till a few months ago.
- Bought new Jammies! That I love, and always wear! =D
- Had probably one of the best summers, ever. [In Dubai]
- Went through a whole "realisation" period. Gasp.
- Became aware of who I was becoming as a Person
- Pulled Cookie's paws because they looked so cute.. *Whistles*
- Took a driving test, and failed.
- Booked another Driving test for next year [at least it's in process. Ahem]
- Applied to Universities.
- Got my wicked predicted grades.
- Starred in a hollywood movie .. Wait, wrong one ^o)
- Discovered A LOT of really good music.
- Finally found a *stable* music collection.
- Travelled to Exeter/Plymouth/Torquay - All of which were absolutely gorgeous!
- Went to Dubai and saw my old teachers from last year!
- Discovered a lot of different TV Shows that I wouldn't have been open to watching last year.
- Watched *A LOT* of movies. Still, never enough though.. =D
- Became a crazy Ebay-er.
- Had a lot of scary experiences.
- Promise myself, not to make New Years resolutions - Cause they never work.
- Got a Laptop! GASP!
- Got a wireless connection! =O
- baby nephew was born =D Hello Thuffy!
- cousin's (four of them) had four babies.
- Had a lot of health problems =(
- I grew up, and changed a lot.
.. This is fine for now. Much more where this came from, but I'd rather stop for now.
This year has been probably one of the bumpiest years I've had. I started off on the wrong foot, and had to experience a lot of difficult things. This year will be marked as one of the toughest, most fullest year.. I had absolutely beautiful memories from this year, and well.. I'm glad that I got to experience everything - the high's and low's. =D
Having said that though.. The wishes I made on New Year's.. Came true. All of them! =D
Gasp. I grew up. *Yes, I'm still in shock*
Hope you all have a great Holiday!
And here's a little something for you to all get all dazed over. =D I thought of putting a traditional christmas something, but thought against, since I do it every year.
So, enjoy staring at this gorgeous picture! =D And save some Christmas pudding for me! *Yummy*

A Foggy Day In London Town
With all the crazy chaotic christmas (this was so not intended) rush at all the airports, because of the Fog. And, I just had to post a picture of how.. It really looks. Oh, and this was taken at 3pm. In the *afternoon*.. When it was about -20 degrees (yes, I'm exaggerating. But It really felt like that =P)

Ronn Montague Moss
AKA - Ridge Forrester, on the *NEVER* dying, "Bold and the Beautiful".
I was going through YouTube today when suddenly I remembered this video I saw of Mr.Hunky Dory *cough*. I found it, watched it and choked really badly, whilst laughing hysterically. Yes, Ronny dear is back.. And singing. Yep, you heard it. This is his second attempt at singing, by the way. He left his former band, "Player" to pursue a career in acting. Tsk. Obviously neither worked well, so he's back in singing again.. And this video, is probably one of the cheesiest, most saddest one I have seen in a very long time. =D
Also, here are the lyrics. Absolutely deep and meaningful, I say. Bought big tears to my eyes.
And since blogger is being a bit of a pain, click here to see the *hottest* video, ever. *Shudder*.

School
When I was in school [Dubai, obviously - My last year], I used to DREAD waking up early in the morning. It'd be 5.45am and my mum would come in and say, "Sanaa beta, wake up, it's a quarter to 6". At that moment, all I'd want to do is sleep for a couple of hundred hours more. I'd begin to cry and think of a million excuses to why I shouldn't go to school. It was a daily thing.. Although, I'd somehow manage to get myself out of bed just in time, get ready - put on my uniform, play with my cat a bit if I had the time, and then rush downstairs to catch the bus. At 6.30 the bus would turn the corner, and come to get me. I'd get so excited getting on the bus. It was always so much fun.. We'd all become, like a small family. We'd all know eachother and talk freely about absolute crap. It was what made the hour and half journey to school, worthwhile. I made some pretty close mates on the bus.. Strangely enough though, we'd never you know, mingle at lunch time or anything, we'd leave everything for the bus ride home.
As soon as we'd cross the bridge, which was just a few minutes away from school, my tummy used to start getting all knotty, for various reasons - either I hadn't done some of my homework, and was worried what my teacher would say to me, or I had a french lesson that afternoon. Everytime I had French, I'd get really nervous. I'd feel really intimdated being in those classes, because everyone knew french, and spoke it confidently even if they didn't.. I, however, felt out of place at times, and instead chose to miss the whole day. Tsk.
When we'd arrive at school, my bus would usually be the 3rd in line, out of 20 others. We'd always come in early, and that was probably the best bit about my morning (apart from teaching *cough* educational stuff on the bus to all my mates, that is). I'd walk out of the bus, and walk past to the very few people that were already there, as it used to be very early still. I'd go upstairs to my classroom, switch on the AC, arrange my stuff.. And just sit for a while. I'd go for a nice long walk all around school, for the longest time, bumping into people and chatting for a bit or messing around with my biology teacher, Mr.D'cruz. Slowly, the corridors would begin to get crowded.. And that is when the day would start. I'd go into all the other classes to meet my mates, and see how they were doing. As the 8am bell would ring, we'd all go into our classes and sit through registration. During that time, I'd talk to my class teacher, and just have a laugh or two with everyone. Most of the time I'd see everyone rushing their unfinished homework.
The day would go on, with three classes before and after break time. During break time, we'd all rush downstairs to finally get some time to just relax and eat in the 20 minutes. We'd see all these boys (gasp!) come to our section, and drop off the environmental stuff (recycling stuff) and leave. Usually it was Puj who would do it.. All these girls, in 2-3 years below ours, would giggle non-stop and put away their food, to get his (and the other blokes) attention. As soon as they'd leave, they'd all start eating, blushing and say things like "oh my god!! He looked at me!!".. But then again, they'd do that with any guy who came into the girls section, as it was considered a big, big deal. =D
The next three classes would go on, and in between them i'd hear all sorts of gossip. Some girl would be crying because her boyfriend broke up with her, for another girl. Another would be secretly smiling because she was the one who made them break up.. Whilst the cleverer ones would roll their eyes, sigh along and shake their head in disappointment, because they weren't getting enough work done. The best though, was when girls would backbite about eachother. Oh, that was definitely the most amusing time ever! And I actually miss all of that.. That whole atmosphere, of seeing girls and guys being all ga-ga over eachother for a week or two, and then suddenly move on to the next. Then, the most classic - when girls would run to the bathroom to doll themselves up, and walk through the open corridors, and laugh really really loud to get the guys attention from the other corridors.. Absolutely hilarious! The kinds of things they'd do.. Tsk. Even though it was really sad, and so immature, it was what made school fun, and what made the experience so.. Unique.
Going home was a great time too. We'd all discuss our days in the bus, and eat and just relax. I'd get home, and within an hour, I'd be on the phone with one of my mates again.. As though we hadn't spoken in years.. Tsk Tsk. =)
When my parents and sisters used to tell me, that "you're going to miss school one day.. It's probably one of the best experiences of life!" - I'd never really understand what they meant at the time. I mean, how could you miss waking up early in the morning, and how could you miss all those extremely dramatic girls.. And the boring subjects? Turns out, they were completely right.. I'd give anything to just experience that one year, all over again.

Recommendations
I've really been out of blogging lately. But in this time, I've discovered some pretty good music! It feels great to finally have a stable selection, that means something. =D So I've put together a few tracks I particularly love..
Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence
I can't believe I took so long to finally *LISTEN* to this song. I've heard it for ages now and is finally a part of my favourites.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Thanks to sister dearest, I finally found this song. I heard it first when I watched an ad for Grey's Anatomy. I fell in love with it instantly.. The second time was in One Tree Hill. Need I say more? It is a bit repetative, but it's not the annoying kind. It's one of those *dazey* songs.
Lifehouse - Blind
As most of you may already know, I've loved Lifehouse for ages now! This song in particular has been stuck in my mind for days. I can't wait for their next album! =|
The Fray - How to Save a Life
Another brilliant song. Their whole album is pretty good actually. Another OTH song.
Jann Arden - Run Like Mad (aka - "Elsewhere")
A kind of *long-drive* song. Used to be the initial theme song of Dawson's Creek.
Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah
A classic. What more can I say?
Guns N' Roses - Don't Cry
Gasp. Axl Rose. Gasp.
Sigh. I love my collection. =D

Waddup, Yo.. *Puke*
So I had another moment of artificiality this morning.. It was pretty horrible. I mean, just when I think I can maybe just start tolerating the people here, something smacks me in the face!
Lately, I've been trying to make my college part of life seem better. I try talking to people I would never have before, and I try looking at them through a different light, so to speak. Having said that, I don't think I can continue with it any longer! I tried for a while, and I think it's pretty clear where I stand in all of that, yes I am labelled a loner.
To be honest, I can't be more happy. I'd rather spend the rest of the year alone, than mingle with those absolutely shallow and artificial people.
This morning was when I made that decision. I was waiting for the bus to college, when these two guys [clearly from my college] started putting this horrendous song on their phone's loudspeakers. It was unbearable! The lyrics were nasty and so meaningless. The music was all repetative, which was seen through the three other tracks he played. It was pure torture. Luckily though, the bus driver didn't let them on!
When I got to college, I walked through the corridors and stopped. A herd of guys were coming through, and I literally felt nauseous looking at them. Each of them had their caps half way off their heads, they all wore the same "thuggish" looking outfits that were either from Nike, or the like. They all had their mobile phones blasting with some form of crap music, also known as R&B, Hip Hop, Rap and other such nonsense. Along with that, they all had big fat gold/silver chains/bracelets/rings. And last but not least, they all walked with their bottoms half way down their arses, as they walked with the limp. What a pretty sight, eh?
It was then I realised, what a bunch of clones they were. They all looked just like the other, and they all talked in slang, whilst kissing their teeth every so often, and swearing with every other word. And ooh, here is an example;
"I know bruv, tell me bout it! I aint takin no (profanity) sh*t from no (more profanities) yeah, yeah innit bruv!! *Kisses teeth whilst he picks up the phone* Yeah yeah, wagwaan? I don't (profanity) know blad! Get your (profanity) ass down here you (and yet another profanity).."
And obviously the extremely inteligent conversation goes on from there.. It was absolutely sickening, seeing that first thing in the morning! I got into class after that, and what do I see? The same-ish atmoshpere there, except this time, it's girls. They all have those skinny jeans on, with those short jackets with fluffy cuffs and hoodies, along with big hooped earings, and make up. Oh, and not to forget the same high-heeled boots. Yep, more clones.
What's even sad is that, there are a bunch of indian guys who have joined college. They have come from Mumbai, etc. And about 3 months ago, they were so different. They had side partings, wore normal jeans and t-shirts! Now, they all have a ciggerate in their hands, and go to the store to pick up *Root Beer*, and thinking it's actually alcoholic beer they drink it with a huge fat grin on their faces. They start walking with the limp as well, and begin to wear similar thuggish clothes whilst blaring the same sad music. Oh, and they hum along as well. Tsk..
It's very very hard to find someone with substance and some form of individual personality here. VERY hard. Probably impossible actually. They are all so immature, fake and uninteligent. Some of them have been in the same course for 4 years. Or more. Enough said! I mean, I tried to start off a conversation with this girl in one of my Alevel classes, and this is how it went:
.. Obviously it was a pretty bad idea. And yes, I won't ever make the mistake ever again. Tsk. Oh and this isn't even HALF as bad as the other girls, so you can imagine, what I go through. I can't even handle sitting in the same class as these people, it's unbelievable how pathetically immature they are.
Ooh, I feel better. Oh well, back into my safety box now. =D Yaay!

They start walking with the limp as well, and begin to wear similar thuggish clothes whilst blaring the same sad music. Oh, and they hum along as well. Tsk..
It's very very hard to find someone with substance and some form of individual personality here. VERY hard. Probably impossible actually. They are all so immature, fake and uninteligent. Some of them have been in the same course for 4 years. Or more. Enough said! I mean, I tried to start off a conversation with this girl in one of my Alevel classes, and this is how it went:
Me: So hey, how are you finding psychology this year?
Substanceless girl: Err.. Don't know. I don't really care. I just come in to get my EMA, need to buy my boyfriend something, going to go see him next weekend, he doesn't live here! I've not seen him in 2 weeks, I miss him so much! You know we got together a couple of months ago, and we had our first fight two days ago. It was so bad. I can't believe we even faught, I was up all night crying..
Me: Oh, I see.. *Turns face away*
Substanceless and now irritating girl: Yeah, it was bad! He called me at night and I was really sleepy so I said "babe I'll call you later".. And he just hung up on me! I was so upsetttttt!! Oh, it was terrible!
Me: Oh yeah, sounds awful, how did you get through such a heart-breaking episode in your ever so eventful life?
Irritating Girl: It was, it was heart-breaking! I called him up the next morning, and said I was so sorry and then I told him to never do that again!
Me:*Ignore*
.. Obviously it was a pretty bad idea. And yes, I won't ever make the mistake ever again. Tsk. Oh and this isn't even HALF as bad as the other girls, so you can imagine, what I go through. I can't even handle sitting in the same class as these people, it's unbelievable how pathetically immature they are.
Ooh, I feel better. Oh well, back into my safety box now. =D Yaay!

NO INTERNET! GASP!
So life has come to a terrible standstill. My pride, joy and life has been taken away from me.. Yes, that's right, the INTERNET! *Cries hysterically*
It's quite sad really, cause at the end of this week when I'll *hopefully* have it back, no one would have even noticed I was gone anyways. Gasp. That is really sad. I think I'm going to be depressed about that rather than the net going.
Ah well, just shows what a boring sod I really am. Tsk Tsk
Now that I'm sitting in a rather questionable internet cafe, I realise that there is someone's chewingum that seems to have gone black, stuck to my coat. Ahem. That wouldn't of happened at home =( sniff.
Anyhow. I'm going to go now and you know, study. Gasp. See you all in a week. Don't cry, please don't cry. I'll be back before you can say.. erm.. "snap".
Don't ask. Tsk.
*cries hysterically* whilse a loud round of applause is heard. She takes a bow, and as a tear falls, her hands begin to wave her beloved audience, slowly. She continues this, whilst the curtains drop. Slowly, the light dims, and the only thing that is heard, are sniffles and deep breaths. She speaks from behind the curtains.. "This is for you, you've been so good to me. I love you, so much. *cries* and remember, I'll be back.. very soon. Just don't lose hope"
Ahem.. I'm REALLY SAD!

ONE TREE HILL! OH MY GOD!
Episode 9 - season 4 - Some You Give Away
Probably one of the BEST episodes I have seen so far - of all seasons. Absolutely wicked. If you're not a fan, you must watch the episode - it's on YouTube. =| I've got butterflies in my tummy still.. And I'm SO ANXIOUS for the next bit.

Sweet November and Socks
I've always wanted to keep this title! =D Yaay!!
Let me start off by saying, November is a very strange time of year. It's the 11th month of the year, and everyone spends November, planning for December [Christmas holidays!].. So I think November probably feels really lonely.. Nothing BIG ever happens in November. You hardly hear of people getting married in November, it's usually, "Oh yes. We've planned for Christmas/Summer/Spring". So yes, I think November for me has been bittersweet.
It's been the starting point for a lot of future events that may hold for my future. Along with that, a lot of renewals have taken place, and hmm. It's been a very FULL month, to keep it brief.
But yes, now comes December. One of the best times of year! Tis The Season To Be Jolly! =D Afterall, Santa comes out at the end of this month.. And moreso, everyone has a chance to make new-years resolutions. Gasp. I can't believe it was just a year ago! Damn! This year has flown by! =|
Hmm, I better start planning my new years wishes already. And you know, make a list of "to-do's" as well.
Moving on from that blab. I have just invented a guide to Socks. Yes, you're fully illustrated version of How to do what with which Sock! =D
Ahem. Let us proceed.
The warm and fuzzy sock
Spectacular for the cold and rainy days. You can cuddle up to your feet and feel all fuzzy. Quite yummy! =D However, make sure you don't run on tiles or floorboarded floors. You will fall. These are absolutely great, just don't wear them for long periods, as your feet will get sweaty, and smell very questionable.
Festive Socks
Christmas is probably the best time to buy socks. You get the cutest designs, and it always has big fluffy teddy's stuck to it! =D Also, very warm and also keep the child/cat entertained.. For hours. Ahem
Funky Socks
Now these aren't your usual socks, no no. They come in all shapes and designs! Some may have bobbles, others may have sequins and so on. These are the best to wear at part-ays, where people can compliment you! But if you're a hermit (like myself =D) They will keep you so entertained, in the middle of the night, when your [imaginary] friends have gone to bed.. =D
Polka Dots Socks
Depending on whether you are into polka dots or not, they are quite.. Interesting. A lot of them are cute, but too many dots gets boring after a while as well. You DO need more than dots on your feet too!
Disney Socks
Now how can you not have these! Disney socks are a *must*! It is advisable to get all disney characters, but if you can't, then Winnie the Pooh is the way to go!
The Patriotic Socks One may think, by owning a pair of socks with the union jack all over it, is pretty sad. But I say otherwise. You must be proud of wearing such gorgeous socks, and make sure you wear shorts with this, so everyone can see them! =D I also say, go with the whole Union Jack look - Get the tee, shorts, knickers and vest! Along with the badge and thimble. And, you musn't forget to hold those big pencils as well! =D
CAT Socks!
Probably my most favourite! They have cats on them, with either furry tails, or googly eyes! =D Also, these are the kind that usually have the funny sayings on them!
Plain Jane Socks The most *yawn* boring kind of socks there are. The plain ones.. People who usually don't care much for socks, wear these.. And are usually boring people anyways. And if you are the kind, I probably don't associate with you anyways.. =D
Knee-High Socks
Very school-girl, and they make you feel really hot. These only suit some people, whilst on others they either look far too big, and on others they tear holes due to the stocky legs. But not one of my favourites, although I do have many! =D
Toe socks!
I lourve these. A bit uncomfy in the beginning, if you're not used to them.. But otherwise, they look so funny and keep all your toes warm. They are like gloves made for the feet - because otherwise they'd feel lonely, whilst the fingers are all all individually covered in hand-gloves. Tsk Tsk, partiality!
So there you have it! My guide to socks! =D Also, a quick tip for Women - when you decide to fall in love/get married/etc etc make sure the man you end up with has wicked socks. Plain white/black/grey socks say a lot about a man. Remember - you want to be with a man who wears socks that say funny things on them, and have characters from the disney world/Mister men/other cartoons. =D

November Rain
This song really fits lately.. The weather has been really cold and rainy and the song has that you know, rainy touch to it - In a calm yet gloomy sort of way.. Along with that, this video has been stuck in my head for the longest time. Absolutely beautiful. I have to say, Guns N Roses are definitely becoming a favourite! I've actually loved this song for ages, but it's just recently that I've actually paid attention to it! Ooh, and Axl Rose looks.. Very, very good. Ahem.
Oh, and.. Have you had a Sweet November so far? I have. Look out for more on that a bit later.. For now, enjoy this video.

Etiquette Lessons - By Sanaa Iqbal
Ahem. I present to you, Lessons in Etiquette, by me. Please follow them.
1 - One must talk with their mouth full, whilst in the presence of another at the dining table.
2 - One must ensure that crumbs of food fall out of their mouths, whilst conversing with another.
3 - One must not use a hand towel to wipe their snot. Fingers are preffered, and so is the floor.
4 - Whilst in the presence of another, one must laugh loudly and pick their teeth with their tongue.
5 - One must not use a knife and a fork whilst eating. Hands must be used at all times.
6 - Itching toes and rubbing fingers inbetween your toenails is permisable, if only in the presence of another.
7 - One must make a lot of sounds whilst drinking anything from a fancy cup. Or any cup, for that matter.
8 - Cleaning ears with car keys is also advisable when an ear bud is not in sight.
9 - Thoroughly sucking and licking your fingers after a good meal, not only shows good mannerisms, but also gives the chef an ego boost!
10 - Smelling your socks, after a long day shows hygiene.
11 - One must converse very loudly across the dinner table. If the person you are conversing with, is talking to another, talk over both of them and make sure your thoughts are loudly shouted across.
12 - One must always open gifts as soon as they are recieved. It shows enthusiasm and your actual thoughts on the gift.
13 - On festive celebrations [Eid, etc] one must always ask for presents. Do not be shy.
14 - On wedding cards, one must always write "No Boxed Gifts Please" . You can maybe save up for a better honeymoon, that way.
15 - One must not speak in slang. And one must surely not refer to a woman as a *chick*.
I thank you all for taking your precious time to read this, and I certainly hope that next time whilst you mingle, you take these fairly easy etiquette lessons to heart, and use them.
Yours Truly.

Autumn and Fat Cats
I finally took the perfect pictures of my gorgeous cats! For those of you who don't know - Cookie is black and Frosty is white! =D
Cookie: I think I'll have Chicken with gravy tonight..
Frosty: I wish I was outside eating those worms and sleeping on that chair!
A few pictures of Autumn.. Now that most of the trees are bare, I think maybe it's winter. I can never really tell =$
GASP! SUNSHINE!
30 Minutes later.. Tsk
I think I take wicked pictures whilst hanging out of my window! *Cool face!*
And the tree loses it's fur!

A little bit of everything
The name is Bond.. Jane Bond. =D - Only those sophisticated enough, would understand this little.. Joke.
Ahem. So I disappeared for a while, and I feel really good now!! I needed the time away from all the popularity, and I just needed to step down from the limelight. It was getting too much, you know? But now that I am back, and blogging.. I forgot the end of this sentence. *Strange face*
I went to watch Casino Royale.. And I must say. Daniel Craig, is very good looking! And pulls of James Bond, VERY WELL! I was really dreading it when I heard about it at first.. I was never really a Bond fan, as such.. But I've watched a few, and comparing him to Pierce Brosnan or Sean Connery, I think he's rather slick.. And really cheeky! =D A very nice combination indeed! But all in all, I thought the movie was wicked.. The stunts were brilliant, and don't even get me started on the Aston Martin! As soon as I saw it, my mouth dropped. I mean, Literally dropped. Gasp.
*Drool*.. Slurp
I was expecting Daniel Craig to do a really horrible job. I mean, how could he have lived up to the legends and everything.. But turns out, he did a fantastic Job! However, the Bond-girl wasn't that gorgeous. The way she spoke and the movement of her lips was very strange.. Yes, I look at strange things, but it's true! The opening scene was just fabulous! =D
So to all of you Bond fans, who think this is going to be a let down [and I know so many who already are!], go watch it! You'll be surprised!
In other fluff:
- I have become a dangerous Chocoholic. Tsk Tsk.. I can't stop myself! It's such a bad addiction, and it causes me migraines as well, but even so.. I NEED and CRAVE it. More and more, each day. *Embarrased*. It's not my fault, don't you look at me all accusingly. Have you even TASTED minstrels lately?! They seem even more yummier than usual.. Even boring chocolates like KitKat seem absolutely mouth-wateringly scrum-didly-uptious!
- The Cats. They have become so very naughty! They do everything they aren't supposed to.. And they don't even listen anymore. I actually had to go and put Cookie on the *Naughty Step* yesterday. Yes, can you believe it? He refused to listen, and when I asked him to re-think his actions, he slapped my hand. Tsk Tsk.. And finally, after he had re-thunk [It's a word =P] his actions, he walked off the step.
- I've been going through a lot of old music lately.. It's been fantastic. I've missed it all for so long.. And it felt great! I've just realised that all that Backstreet Boys and co., stuff is just.. Absolute crap compared to this. Yes, I actually said that! It takes a lot of me to say something like that, so you can imagine how brilliant this music is! Here is a glimpse of what I mean..
- I finally, FINALLY finished all my UCAS stuff. Cross all of your fingers for me, please!
- I plan to go to Prague and Tuscany soon. I don't know how or when, but I will! =D But then again, I so know I'll end up in Dubai *Whistles innocently*
Anywho, I shall go now, but for now.. Enjoy his gorgeous jaw bones. And face. And Eyes. You get the picture.

Saw 3
It's been two hours since I've been back from this movie. Saw III.. Hmm. It took me a while to make my decision on what I think about it.. And here is what I've gathered, so far:
I went in expecting something similar [but new and exciting!] to the first and second, obviously. Since everyone warned me that it had more gore than the previous films, I was really looking forward to it. But for some reason I lost interest in the first half of the movie. The "tests" that these people were put through, was nothing quite different.. Yeah, the ending was.. Interesting. Yet it didn't get me all "GASP! That's what it was all along" kind of thing. There were no jumpy bits, or things that really made me freak out. The skull-drilling-opening bit was gory, but even so.. Still not so convincing.
This one to me, seemed mainly about Amanda's story. How it all happened, how she became a part of the whole thing.. Maybe the fourth part [if there is] will be all about John's story. And the fifth, about the new Jigsaw, who may aswell be the man at the end of this part. Tsk.
I kept telling Smelly how scared I was of it.. But to be honest, I really wasn't that frightened by it. The gore was definitely excessified in this one, but that didn't really scare me. What did scare me though, was the previews for Mel Gibson's Apocalypto.. Now that looks STRANGE!
I definitely agree now, that *horror* movies are becoming too formulaic.. There is the odd one that is quite different, and makes a big hit.. But then the others start following on to that, and well.. So on. I think it's time that I watch the older horrors - The Exorcist/The Omen [NOT the new one!]/The Poltergeist and ofcourse, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre., Maybe then I'd have something to compare the rest with.
Finally - The ending was okay, and some may even start liking John/Jigsaw. The film seemed short, and this time it did fail to keep me interested. I guess it lost its essence; it has been made 3 times. If there is a fourth part, I don't think I'll be thrilled about it..
To all of you, who haven't yet seen it.. Wait for it on DVD.. Unless you are interested in seeing ankles being torn off and body's becoming completely twisted, on the big screen!

Memory Lane
"Chalte Chalte.. Yun hi koyi, mil gaya tha.." Everytime I hear this song, this particular memory comes to my mind..
We [Dad, mum, me, shafina and anisa] were going home from dinner in Jeddah. The windows were slightly open, and this song was playing. My dad gently drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, whilst we stood in traffic. He did that when he enjoyed a song. We were all quiet, the only thing you could hear was my dad humming along.. I guess we all loved to hear his voice.
"Chaudavi ka chand ho..Ya aftaab ho, jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho.."
It was during the years we were living in Abu Dhabi.. It was a cold night, and we were driving back home from Dubai. The windows were down, and the wind was touching my face. Even though I was completely frozen, I somehow felt so warm..
We were driving fast, through the highways.. There were street lights that were perfectly lit, with gorgeous trees at either side of the roads. I remember looking out of the window, to witness the most beautiful view of the night sky. This song was playing, and my dad was singing along to it.. I couldn't make out for a while, who was the real singer.. Since I was the only one in the backseat [shafina and anisa were not there], I stretched out in the back.. And just closed my eyes, and heard my dad sing bits of the rest of the songs.. Until he said to my mum, "I think she's gone to sleep.. Was she feeling better today? Her fever was high yesterday.. Maybe she should sleep next to us tonight."
Memories like these, don't make me sad or make me cry. I feel so lucky to have gone through everything I have.. Because now, whenever I want to.. I can witness them, all over again.
- I'm not depressed - before everyone starts questionning. -
We [Dad, mum, me, shafina and anisa] were going home from dinner in Jeddah. The windows were slightly open, and this song was playing. My dad gently drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, whilst we stood in traffic. He did that when he enjoyed a song. We were all quiet, the only thing you could hear was my dad humming along.. I guess we all loved to hear his voice.
"Chaudavi ka chand ho..Ya aftaab ho, jo bhi ho tum khuda ki kasam, lajawaab ho.."
It was during the years we were living in Abu Dhabi.. It was a cold night, and we were driving back home from Dubai. The windows were down, and the wind was touching my face. Even though I was completely frozen, I somehow felt so warm..

Maturity
Whilst growing up, my sisters always told me of their childhood [not that I've really grown up, and not that they've stopped telling those stories either]. It sounded like the "perfect" thing, ever. Riding bicycles straight after school, hiding from dad and watching "Home and Away".. Or waking up early to go digging in the back garden for some fresh snails and ladybirds, to make some sort of "Magical Potion".. That's just the beginning of the many wonderful stories I've grown up with..
Shafina always used to tell me that I never really had much of that.. I mean, yeah I had [ahem. *Have*] imaginary friends, and had all those toys and everything you have when you're a little spoilt girl.. But I never had that kind of atmosphere. The riding-your-bike-and-racing-to-the-sweet-shop, to see who could buy the most with their left over eid money. I had stuff like, doll houses, Kitchen sets, kitchen trolley sets.. And so on. I always used to bug Anisa to play with me, but obviously she thought she was too *cool* to play with me. *Cough Cough*..
I was looking through my older blog entries over the past few days.. And I was so.. Shocked. I've changed so much. I write about such depressing things. Such.. low and boring entries.. Surely, nothing that drastic has happened to me for me to become such a serious person, overnight. For heaven's sake.. I'm only 18!
Looking back at when they were 18.. They were SO different.. Shafina was just leaving her "I-love-Coolio-but-Oasis-is-better-phase".. She made friends that were so laid back, and I hardly ever heard of their *problems*.. I mean yeah, whilst growing up you naturally witness something or another that isn't very nice - Parents fighting; Friends betraying you; Your first [or second] rejection from the guy you thought you'd marry and have kids with.. And so on.. Sometimes, you witness something that is far worse than all of this - Death; Critical life situations; Leaving someone you love.. Etc. But when Shafina was in school, all we ever heard of was funny stories.. How her best mate banged the car door on her leg on their prom day.. Or how they'd always make plans to go somewhere, but stay in instead and watch the same movie again and make the same sandwiches again. Whatever it was, they were content. Her and Anisa have silly memories like that to laugh at, all their lives..
However.. Since then.. The world has gone "wonky".. Girls at 12 have babies, and kids at 10 have been found taking drugs.. Some of us have been forced to grow up so quickly.. Whilst others stay immature till they're 30 or so. I mean, at this age I find myself contemplating about such adult-ish matters. Yeah, I know I can't stay a baby forever.. But I'm 18!! And yet, I find myself in constant deep thoughts which make me DEPRESSED.. Something that wasn't even familiar with the young generation till about 15 years or so ago. I mean.. I actually have moments where I need to be reassured that I am loved and doing successfully at college. Isn't that what people need during their stages of mid-life crises? Why so.. Am I that way? Why do I think so much? Why can't I go out there and have fun and do silly things?? Why am I always so gloomy?? Sigh.. This isn't the age for it.. Well, it's never really the age for it.. But, especially now. When your life is just getting started, and you act like you're 65 and say things like " Why*back in the day*..".. Seriously, how old do you think you are? Do you really want to look back on your life and say "I didn't live.." I guess not..
We're all still so young. Yeah, life does move fast. Massive issues arise.. But why should we need to deal with them with long faces and cry ourselves to sleep every night? You're put through all the trivial things, so that each time you come out on the brighter side of life.. That should be something to look forward to. Isn't it?
Why not start tomorrow, by telling someone you love them.. Or.. By smiling at the bus driver who looks ever so tired.. Try that. It makes a big difference in their day, and makes you feel happier too.
So here's wishing you all, a better day tomorrow.. Wake up with a happy memory or something that makes you smile..

Something
..And I would wait right here forever
just to be where you are
and I would trade it all in a second
just to be where you are
I don’t have all the answers
but one thing I know is that
where you are going is where I want to go
don’t have all the words to tell
I know cause I’ve already tried
all I know is that when you are here
you make me feel alive..
I love Lifehouse.. This song [Just to be where you are] and these particular verses.. Have been playing in my mind all day. Fits perfectly, I guess..

Yummy Yummy
Okay, so maybe there are good things to winter..
- I get more socks/scarves and everything warm to wear!
- Yummy hot drinks like - HOT CHOCOLATE [by the way, I make the best hot chocolate, ever. *Proud Smile*] and well, hot chocolate are always availabe anywhere you go. The best part is, you always feel like having a nice hot cup of it in your hand, whilst you wait for the trains early in the morning.. You are in your massive jacket, with layers of jumpers and tee-shirts, and a nice warm cuddly scarf.. And whilst the morning mist slowly moves away, all you can feel is the nice hot steam of the gorgeously yummy drink. =D Sigh.. Okay fine! I do like winter.. Just hate the early nights.
- Sleeping is the best thing in Winter [as it is in all seasons].. You wear your warmest jammies and biggest jumper. Your fluffy socks make your feet get all lovey dovey with the blanket.. And sigh.. Even if you have 3 - 4 hours of sleep, you sleep like a log. I hate waking up, as most of you may know. I am no where near a morning person. I can snap at you, and say rude things to you, and not even apologise. =D And in Winter, it gets worse. I actually start crying in the morning. I mean with tears and everything. That is how traumatic the event is for me.
- Call me childish [And yes, I know I am =P], but I love the smoke that comes out of your mouth everytime you talk/etc etc. I keep doing it, just for the fun of it.. And act like I'm smoking [NOT that I want to, before you all start questioning!]. =D
- Cats become really fat in winter. Well, at least mine do. They literally start hibernating and go fluffier and heavier by the day. =D It's absolutely gorgeous.. I mean, it's not like I don't go mad over them when they aren't fluffy, cause they're always fluffy and fat.. But they seem even cuter.. Do I make any sense?!? *Think*
- SNOW! Now come on.. That has to be the best part of Winter. The white fluffy things that fall from the sky! =D It's probably one of the most peaceful and beautiful things to see! I hope it snows a lot this year.. And don't worry, I'll save all of you some in my freezer! =D
- Ermmm.. THERE ARE NO BEE'S! Or atleast I don't think there are..
- CHRISTMAS TIME! I love christmas!! The whole feeling around it, is just undescribable! The chocolate calendars are already out.. I think I'm going to get myself a Winnie The Pooh one this year. Last year was a Galaxy one. Year before was a Milkybar one.. And year before that was Cadbury's! It's about time I get a Disney one! =D I still have a month or so to decide.. Hmm, I better think long and hard.
That's it from me. I've got Tonsilitis and now, a cramp in my leg. So I'm going to go and study for my test tomorrow! =( Have a great start to winter, everyone! If it makes you happy, take out all your warm clothes and socks and scarves out on the bed.. And just start smiling! =D It's very exciting. It honestly is. *Nods*
Ooh, before I forget.. [And no, I'm not copying Smelly] - Good Luck to everyone who has exams coming up in the next few weeks!! Study hard *Grr* and DON'T eat cheesecake Ice creame with butterscotch sauce dripping over it. I assure you, your papers and hair will get messy. Ask Smelly, he should know! *Whistles*
=D

A rant.
Oh please, it's been forever.
- A2 levels is.. So hard. Now I understand why my sisters lost hair, and looked like zombies. It's far too hard. =( I mean, 3 courseworks, all due for the same month!! Synoptic units, and.. ahh!! I'm going to go mad! I've got about 7 books to read for literature, for over the year. I'm already on my third, and I feel so lost =( Psychology is brilliant, but this year, the whole grading and assessment objectives have changed, so there are more things I have to pay attention to, whilst I write massive essays! Literature is so darned boring, and to be honest, I'm really not enjoying it at all, this year.. Whatever we do, is out of context and so off-track, each time. The books have no griping-ness. Sigh. I wish it was next year already, and I was giving my exams and flying off to Dubai.. =(
- I'm feeling like a really bad person, because of what happened with Cookie and me. He was stuck on the roof again, and it was getting late. He kept miawing to get down, so for a while mum and I left him there, to let him try and get down by himself.. But mister had no idea what to do. So I got on the ladder (one of my many fears - Heights!) on a really rough part of the garden. He finally gave me his paw to carry him off, but he was still very weary of what was happening, so as I pulled him towards me, he held back, hit the gutter pipe, and fell right to the ground, obviously on his paws.. but still. I feel so terrible! I've been chasing him for the past 2 hours, saying sorry to him. I feel horrid!! =(
- It's been so cold this week! I mean SO SO SO SO COLD!! I hate the cold, my fingers are frozen. My nose is stiff. My ears are blue and my feet can't move. Other than that, the grass is frozen and everything is just so damn cold! And not to forget the daylight saving bloody time. It's dark far too early. I mean, Four freakin' thirty! I hate walking home at that time as well!!
- I'm going to go now and dig my head in the freezer.

A long post of everything
It's been a while since I've ranted, or something of the sort.. So let us commence. (Ooh, big word! =D)
- I wish there was an easier way to get to a place that is 3,000 (or so) miles away. Planes take too long, and the sea would take even longer. Cars don't go there, and even if they did, it would take long as well. Walking isn't an option, so obviously, running wouldn't be either. I just wish there was a way to be closer.. And I wish there was a way I could be there more than once a year. =(
- This morning I woke up with the fattest pimple on my forehead. In such an obvious place as well! It was red, and big and painful. My whole face looked like it had shrunk, and the pimple was taking over. Blah. I felt horrible! But that was solved, when I put toothpaste on it, and let it sting for about 5 minutes.. After that, some carpenters came over to fix shelves. They kept staring at my forehead, and I didn't know why.. I thought nothing of it, and carried on. My driving instructor walks in minutes later, to cancel my driving lesson for another day (which was good, since I didn't feel like driving today!), and he laughed at my head as well. I thought it was rather mean to laugh at my pimple, until I realised I had a big blob of toothpaste still stuck on my head. What a twit, I am. Tsk.
- I planned to start using the gym from today. It went pretty good actually. I felt re-energised and quite fresh.. Which is new to me, since I always feel weak, sleepy and basically lathargic. I had to obviously take it slow, and start off with minimal exercise today.. So I did 10 minutes on the cycle, treadmil and this fun stepper thing that makes you feel like your flying =D. So that was pretty good! My next session, I'll go on to 20 minutes.. And so on. I hope I stick to it this time, I think I'm pretty determined this time around! *Proud smile*
- My cat sleeps on my bed again. Not just on my bed, no no.. But on MY pillow and MY blanket. I can't pull the blanket towards me, if it's gathered near him since it would wake him up. I can't shift my head much on the pillow, since he wakes up and gives me the most irritated look ever! It's as though he's telling me, "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M SLEEPING! YOU'RE DISTURBING ME WOMAN!".. Tsk tsk. What can we do? After all, they are biladi's =D
- Jealousy. It's a sick thing. Sick as in, it can make YOU sick. The amount of suspicion, paranoia and anger that goes along with it, can literally drive you insane. It's no joke!! It starts off as a small event, but as time goes by, your brain SEARCHES for reasons to make you feel worse. And Worse. And worser (it's a word.. =P). At the end of it, you'd've gained nothing from it, but sleepless nights, black eyes, migraines and ofcourse, a person who most definitely thinks you are crazy.. But hey, it just shows how much you really care *Innocent face* - So, in conclusion, you're allowed to be as jealous as you like.. As long as you don't go and hurt someone, physically. Ahem. Cough Cough.
- When I was about 12, I made a promise to myself.. That I'd never like or you know, particularly associate with Gujji's. Ahem, yes it was pretty rude and mean of me, I know.. But come on. Anyways, ever since then, I've had crushes on gujji guys - famous or not, throughout secondary school. Now, Ahem.. I rather not comment *whistles innocently*. One of the most important people in my life, is gujji. And not any gujji, but PROPER gujji. Gasp. As for Upen Patel. His surname is Patel.. Seriously, what more can I say? Now that I've established this little pattern, I'm sure that Wenty and Abhishek have some sort of Gujji connection in their blood, somewhere. We are all Gujji's, in some way. And we have to be related to one, undoubtedly.. No matter how un-gujji you look. It's true. Gujji's are taking over the world, I say. They are everywhere you turn. *Faints*
- So today is Halloween, and well.. I don't really feel all halloween-ish this year. Last year, there were plenty of trick-or-treater's on the streets.. But they never settle for tricks, though. Hmm. Imagine this - You're a young child, and have a group of friends with you. You've all betted that you will be the one with the most treats, this Halloween. So, you all go off to different parts of the neighbourhood, and begin collecting your treats. You come across an old fogey (I don't mean an elderly person, by the way. I'm not that mean =P) who opens the door, and gives you the oldest trick in the book. Yes, that one. The one where the coin disappears behind their hairy ear. Now, how disappointed would you be? Obviously, very. Since, hardly anyone was home to begin with.. And when you come across a person who looks interesting, they go and give you a trick, and you have to laugh at them in awe. Obviously, you wait around for something more. Something.. More on the candy side of things.. However, the man smiles at you, thinking he gave you the best Halloween trick ever. He closes the door, and pats himself on the shoulder, out of how amazing he was. You, at the other side of the door, stand there, wondering what in heaven's name that man did. And find out, that.. You have only 5 pieces of chocolate in your bag. How awful is that? - The point of my little, "imagine this" story.. Nothing really. =D Apart from, well.. If these kids do come knocking on your door tonight, give them treats! Not silly old tricks.. And if you do give a trick, give some treats along with it =P I know how sad it is, when you get no chocolates/sweets .. It's heart-breaking.
- Did you ever wonder why, when you smell something.. Say, a particular perfume, why so many memories, usually concerning ONE person and ONE moment, come rushing back? Sigh, the same happened to me this morning.. I smelt, Acqua Di Gio. I was so.. Well, dazed.. That I smiled to myself, endlessly, before a tear dropped down. Now, this man who was wearing it, looked behind, cause I started sniffing (apparently, it was very obvious. Who knew? =$) and I saw his face.. He was about 45 with a beer-belly and had a bald patch in the front of his head. Saucy. He so did not suit that perfume.. AT ALL! Tsk Tsk.
- I watched, "Brick" this morning.. It was.. Interestingly strange. Very well directed, I must say.. But strange. But I enjoyed it! =D The next few movies in my list are:
- Memento
- The Shawshank Redemption
- The Departed
- Step up
- A Good Year
- Saw III
- Flushed Away
- Open Season
I think my taste in movies, is changing.. I'm being more open towards movies and TV shows that I wouldn't of watched, say.. Erm.. 4 months ago. I only sticked to - Chick Flicks ( I still love them =P ) and Cartoons. But I must admit, I am happier with, where my taste is going! =D Yaay!
- I think, I use, a lot of, comma's, don't you agree, with me? =D
- I think that's enough for today.. I've said a lot. And I'm feeling so sleepy now. And I have an early start tomorrow morning.. *Cries*. =(
Till then, this I, THE ant. (Get it? =P) and several other personalities that I have adopted, saying.. Goodnight, and adieu (for the time being).
Ta ra.
And oh, a little something for the Halloweener's.
[Click To Enlarge, and shake your head at my sadness =D]

I can't shift my head much on the pillow, since he wakes up and gives me the most irritated look ever! It's as though he's telling me, "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M SLEEPING! YOU'RE DISTURBING ME WOMAN!".. Tsk tsk. What can we do? After all, they are biladi's =D
- Jealousy. It's a sick thing. Sick as in, it can make YOU sick. The amount of suspicion, paranoia and anger that goes along with it, can literally drive you insane. It's no joke!! It starts off as a small event, but as time goes by, your brain SEARCHES for reasons to make you feel worse. And Worse. And worser (it's a word.. =P). At the end of it, you'd've gained nothing from it, but sleepless nights, black eyes, migraines and ofcourse, a person who most definitely thinks you are crazy.. But hey, it just shows how much you really care *Innocent face* - So, in conclusion, you're allowed to be as jealous as you like.. As long as you don't go and hurt someone, physically. Ahem. Cough Cough.
- When I was about 12, I made a promise to myself.. That I'd never like or you know, particularly associate with Gujji's. Ahem, yes it was pretty rude and mean of me, I know.. But come on. Anyways, ever since then, I've had crushes on gujji guys - famous or not, throughout secondary school. Now, Ahem.. I rather not comment *whistles innocently*. One of the most important people in my life, is gujji. And not any gujji, but PROPER gujji. Gasp. As for Upen Patel. His surname is Patel.. Seriously, what more can I say? Now that I've established this little pattern, I'm sure that Wenty and Abhishek have some sort of Gujji connection in their blood, somewhere. We are all Gujji's, in some way. And we have to be related to one, undoubtedly.. No matter how un-gujji you look. It's true. Gujji's are taking over the world, I say. They are everywhere you turn. *Faints*
- So today is Halloween, and well.. I don't really feel all halloween-ish this year. Last year, there were plenty of trick-or-treater's on the streets.. But they never settle for tricks, though. Hmm. Imagine this - You're a young child, and have a group of friends with you. You've all betted that you will be the one with the most treats, this Halloween. So, you all go off to different parts of the neighbourhood, and begin collecting your treats. You come across an old fogey (I don't mean an elderly person, by the way. I'm not that mean =P) who opens the door, and gives you the oldest trick in the book. Yes, that one. The one where the coin disappears behind their hairy ear. Now, how disappointed would you be? Obviously, very. Since, hardly anyone was home to begin with.. And when you come across a person who looks interesting, they go and give you a trick, and you have to laugh at them in awe. Obviously, you wait around for something more. Something.. More on the candy side of things.. However, the man smiles at you, thinking he gave you the best Halloween trick ever. He closes the door, and pats himself on the shoulder, out of how amazing he was. You, at the other side of the door, stand there, wondering what in heaven's name that man did. And find out, that.. You have only 5 pieces of chocolate in your bag. How awful is that? - The point of my little, "imagine this" story.. Nothing really. =D Apart from, well.. If these kids do come knocking on your door tonight, give them treats! Not silly old tricks.. And if you do give a trick, give some treats along with it =P I know how sad it is, when you get no chocolates/sweets .. It's heart-breaking.
- Did you ever wonder why, when you smell something.. Say, a particular perfume, why so many memories, usually concerning ONE person and ONE moment, come rushing back? Sigh, the same happened to me this morning.. I smelt, Acqua Di Gio. I was so.. Well, dazed.. That I smiled to myself, endlessly, before a tear dropped down. Now, this man who was wearing it, looked behind, cause I started sniffing (apparently, it was very obvious. Who knew? =$) and I saw his face.. He was about 45 with a beer-belly and had a bald patch in the front of his head. Saucy. He so did not suit that perfume.. AT ALL! Tsk Tsk.
- I watched, "Brick" this morning.. It was.. Interestingly strange. Very well directed, I must say.. But strange. But I enjoyed it! =D The next few movies in my list are:
- Memento
- The Shawshank Redemption
- The Departed
- Step up
- A Good Year
- Saw III
- Flushed Away
- Open Season
I think my taste in movies, is changing.. I'm being more open towards movies and TV shows that I wouldn't of watched, say.. Erm.. 4 months ago. I only sticked to - Chick Flicks ( I still love them =P ) and Cartoons. But I must admit, I am happier with, where my taste is going! =D Yaay!
- I think, I use, a lot of, comma's, don't you agree, with me? =D
- I think that's enough for today.. I've said a lot. And I'm feeling so sleepy now. And I have an early start tomorrow morning.. *Cries*. =(
Till then, this I, THE ant. (Get it? =P) and several other personalities that I have adopted, saying.. Goodnight, and adieu (for the time being).
Ta ra.
And oh, a little something for the Halloweener's.
[Click To Enlarge, and shake your head at my sadness =D]I told you.. It was past my bedtime. This was so corny. =D
Dulce Et Decorum Est
I'm not one to really enjoy war poetry as such. I actually, usually fall asleep.. But this one, by Willfred Owen.. Actually made me feel some sort of emotion. It's quite a graphic poem, about the first World War.. Read it, if you're bothered. It's quite nice.
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of disappointed shells that dropped behind.
GAS! Gas! Quick, boys!-- An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling
And floundering like a man in fire or lime.--
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,--
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.

Upen Patel
Ever since I saw him in the "Aashique" video, from 36 China Town.. I've been meaning to post up a picture of this hunk. Drool.

The Golden Oldies
Over the past month, I've re-visited a lot of the oldie stuff - movies, music and tv programmes. It's been quite interesting, to be honest!
It started with some old music. I've continuously been watching Magic and Flaunt - Both channels always have old music videos playing.. It's been really great actually, cause most of those songs bring back a lot of memories. Shaf and Anisa have been talking about them as well, and telling me about their memories, since all of those songs are of *their time*.. This morning, I watched Michael Jackson's Thriller video.. And I have to admit, it's probably one of my favourites! =D It's just one of those. The kind that stays with you, for many years.. And never grows old. Look at the new Westlife song, The Rose, for example.. I love it right now, but say.. 2 weeks from now, I'll be bored of it.. Why? Because they just keep playing it over and over again. Making it unbearable to hear anymore..
As for Indian songs, I love the old ones.. Completely! The newer ones all have a similar tune to it, especially with that singer, who sings mostly all the songs these days! But otherwise, the old ones are just absolutely B R I L L I A N T! =D The lyrics were beautiful and simple yet very deep. The music was soft yet effective and the singers had gorgeous voices as well.. Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar, are just unbeatable. Remixing them now, has just ruined their essence and you know. Ruined them.
On the other hand, I've realised something else as well. Music in this day and age, is getting too repetative and boring. Whenever I flick through the rest of the music channels (MTV UK, MTV, Bliss, The Box, Smash hits, The Hits, The music factory, Q, Scuzz and Kerrang!) there's always something that is either vulger, loud or absolutely pathetic. It's always the same R&B song, The same style of Hip Hop non sense, and sadly enough, the same "rock" stuff - which is all emo and basically crap. I don't particularly like putting them in genre's as such, but that's what these channels do these days. Every channel has the same kind of song playing - Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Snoop dog and Girls Aloud/The PCD - It get's quite annoying, really. None of these bands/singers have any depth. There's nothing capturing about their songs, and they aren't even worthy enough to listen to, just for fun.
Along with that, the same sort of goes with the movies as well.. Take for example, horror movies.. Most of them have similar story lines, gore, blood and basically every other generic element all of them do. We watched some of the older Horror movies in Media, and it's been quite interesting. They're completely not scary, and if they even have a tinge of it, it turns out to be rather humourous towards the end! =D But then again, I love movies anyways. Whether they are old or new, they are movies.. And I am a movie-buff! =D
TV shows, have been.. Hmm. I don't really know about that. I love the shows that come on now, for example; One Tree Hill, Six Feet Under, Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, Prison Break, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, The O.C., House M.D and ofcourse, Boston Legal - They are all absolutely brilliant!! But then again, the oldies just have a league of their own.. - Some mothers do 'ave em, Keeping up Appearances, Murder She wrote, Happy Days, Bottom and so on.. - Those just have a completely different humour/thriller stlye and basically the way they presented their shows.. So yes, there is a massive difference between the Old and New.. But which do I like better? Hmm.. Hard to say, but I'm guessing that for music, I'm sticking with the old and familiar! =D
Rightio, I shall bid you all farewell now. Please stop crying.. Now now, I'll be back soon =D

100th Post
"You ever look at a picture of yourself, and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder, how many strangers have pictures of you.. How many moments of other peoples lives have we been in.. Were we a part of someone's life when their dreams came true; or were we there when their dreams died? Did we keep trying to get in, as if we were somehow destined to be there.. Or did the shot take us by surprise. Just think.. You could be a big part of someone else's life, and not even know it.."
- Lucas Scott (OTH)
So, I've been trying to think of an appropriate 100th post, for over a week now. Ever since I realised that, this one was on it's way.. I started thinking, really hard. Afterall, It *is* a big deal. I mean, I've been keeping you all entertained and bored for ages now!
However, first things first.. Who really reads my blog?? *Thinks*.. Commentify on my blog, to let me know.. I'm curious. Keep your name as Anonymous, and I'll personally, hurt you =P
So what have I really been blogging about?? *Scratches head*.. I mean, it's definitely not you know, intellectual stuff.. Then what really is it?? Hmm, something to think about..
Other than that, let me update you on my life, as of the past few days. Hold on tight, It may be too exciting for some.
- Eid was pretty okay. The usual family gathering, was actually good.. I was in a daze, at the end of it though.. And I don't think I mingled much, just singled myself out on the "stairs", where the "loners" [or the earwax, bogeys, nose hairs, and warts sit] hang around. But other than that, it was really nice, seeing everyone together after ages. I had an emotional moment (what is eid, without those, eh?) with my uncle.. Which was, needed.. I suppose. And so as a whole, it was good, and tiring!! Obviously, the food was absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!! I love Biryani, all over again.. *Slurp*
- My week, has been a very big roller coaster ride. A very bad attempt, to describe it, but hey.. I guess that sums it up, rather well.. I keep failing to keep things going at a normal level, and yeah. I just keep messing up, every few hours, you could say.. Other than that, I have a crap load of homework to get through, and I've not even seen any of it yet. Maybe I should go out, take a long walk, and clear out my head.. And just start off on something.
- Chocolates have become a big part of my life, all over again.. My aunt brought home a HUGE tin of Quality Street. And you know what that means.. All the nutty/truffley and gooey chocolates have been or are being consumed, by the hour. I think that's what kept me going yesterday.. Since it was a rather dull day.. It's moments like those, you realise how much Chocolate really means to you! I mean, you can suddenly burst into tears, and have a finely wrapped chocolate next to you. As you unwrap it, you feel your tears drop continuously on your clothes.. When that pure piece of goodness goes into your mouth, you feel, just for a moment.. Everything that makes you upset, go away.. Obviously, that feeling lasts, as long as the chocolate does.. Which is barely a minute or so. But hey, anything to make yourself smile..
- I've been bad this year, with wishing everyone Eid Mubarak! I usually send out emails, texts and even call people.. This year, I didn't do much of any of those. So to everyone, hope you had a good one too!! And a [very belated] Eid mubarak!
- University stuff is coming along, fine.. I have finally finalised my options. I checked out every possible you know, criteria for each of them, and made a list of 6. Now that I have them, I feel like I achieved something this week.. Not much, but still, something! =)
- Saw 3 is out this week!! I cannot wait to watch it!! The other two parts were brilliant, and I hope this one lives upto them as well!!
- Other than all that blab, the cats have been having a great week. With Cookie getting stuck on the roof [for the second time in the same week, at the same place. Tsk] and with Frosty chasing some weird creature under a tree.. I think they have the most relaxing lives. I mean, take for example, Cookie's little adventure. He got stuck on the roof, and all he had to do, was miaw really loud. Once, we heard it (it's unmissable, I tell you!).. We all ran to each corner of the house with a window, to try and get him up. We spent about 30 minutes getting him down, and when Tal Bhai finally took him down, he started purring, and rolling around on the floor.. After that, he ate food, and slept. Now in that one hour, WE did all that for him, as his little servants. Sigh.. The life of a cat. I wonder what I'd do if I were a cat for a day!
- I absolutely love this song.. Check it out here.. (I couldn't be bothered to put the video up here!) It's Atif Aslam - Tere Bin, from the movie Bas Ek Pal - Which by the way, no one should watch. Why? Because of their attempt to speak in english, and also because of the terrible storyline. It actually got a 6.9 on IMDB. Gasp. It was pathetic.
- I believe I should actually do some work now.. Ahem. Tsk Tsk.. I just can't get up though. My bed is far too warm. And plus, I have nothing better to do anyways. =(
Hope you all have a good day!
Ta ra, from the 100th post-person!

Quote
Season 4 of One Tree Hill, keeps getting better with each episode. More twists, and definitely more " O M G's".. Hey, I may not be all "like, totally" anymore, but I still have my moments! Especially with One Tree Hill!!
Well, here's one of the quote thingies, Voiced over by Lucas - in the second episode. Sigh..
Well, here's one of the quote thingies, Voiced over by Lucas - in the second episode. Sigh..
There are moments in our lives, when we find ourselves at crossroads. The choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days.
And, ofcourse, when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.
There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at crossroads.
But once in a while, people push onto something better. Something found, just beyond the pain of doing it alone. And just beyond the bravery and courage it takes, to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance.. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
Because, it's only when you're tested, that you truly discover who you are. And it's only when you're tested, that you discover who you can be.. The person you want to be does exist; somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith, and belief. And, beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead..

The Rose
Westlife have recently released their new album, "The Love Album".. They have some good songs on there. My favourite has to be, "The dance" and "The Rose".. Both, very nice, slow songs. It's been ages since I've heard a GOOD, mellow song.
A few songs are worth, downloading.. Others, are just the same old, Westlife stuff. Which is good, but can get a bit boring from time to time! So check it out, if you want! =D
Here's my new, song. I lourve it.

Dreaming of another place
.. Ahem. Yes, I stole the title =P. But I had to okay!! I've been feeling all lost in my own world lately.. So I thought I'd put up a few pictures, of places I'd love to be right now.. Hmm.
Sitting, high on top of a place like this.. And just watching the world go by.. For a while. Sigh..
My most favourite place to be.. But then again, what are sunsets, if you don't have that someone, with you.. To share it with, eh?

Songs.
" Sitting here, staring at the wall,
another lonely, tear falls
I'm trying to write you this song
but I can hardly, see the page at all..
Cause it's breaking my heart,
when I look in your eyes,
and I don't see me.. anymore
When you're all I'm living for.."
This song, [Not ready for Goodbye - All 4 one] was probably my most frequently played song, in 2002 - 2003.. Someone close to me, at the time, loved this song. It was always playing, everytime we went anywhere.. And it kind of stuck with me, from there on.
I haven't heard that song much, since then. Today, however, I was on the train, and my iPod was on shuffle.. That song suddenly came on, and whenever that happens, I usually skip it to the next.. Today, I listened to the whole thing, and let those memories, rush back in.
It felt.. Very.. Strange. I felt.. Very lost for a while, and also upset. It's been ages since I've sat down, and heard that song.. It was like, I was re-living some of the [good] memories. How weird is it, that something happy, can make you feel so torn apart, and so alone, all of a sudden?
Everytime someone has asked me, "what song do you like best?", or something to that affect. I'm always stuck. I don't have a "favourite" song, so to speak.. Everyday, according to how I feel, I fit to a song. That one song, explains what I'm feeling.
It's been a long time since I've actually heard all those songs, that make me remember something good, from the past few years. Songs are something.. That can take you waaaay back, a good 10 years, and make you remember something significant, that you thought you had forgotten. They can also make you cry, out of sheer pain and lonliness.
There is no particular "style" of music I listen to.. I listen to a bit of a lot, really. Apart from all of that Rap and Hip hop, R&B stuff.. And lately, Punjabi stuff as well. I go through phases, every few months, depending on the state of mind I am in, and what I'm going through [events, etc.] in my life, at that particular stage, my music choice changes. I'd say, the only constant "band" that has been there, has to be, Vertical Horizon, Lifehouse, Jars of Clay and Switchfoot. These four, have always been there. Whether I've been really ecstatic, or extremely bored.. Or even really really upset, One of the four, or all four, have always been there, for me.. Somehow, you could say.
A lot of people that I have come across, do not feel that way towards music. Which is obviously, nothing wrong, or anything.. But they feel, as though music is just there, for a good time.. etc. Again, that's true.. I mean, when I'm cleaning my room, I usually play something really fast, something that doesn't have deep-meaningful lyrics.. Just something, I can sing along too, and you know, dust away! That is usually, my hindi music stuff. Even in that, I have a few songs, that are always on "repeat" - Usually the Atif Aslam stuff.
I've never really thought about all of this before.. Just today, whilst hearing that one song.. Made me think really hard, about what it is.. About music, about certain songs.. That make you feel so incredibly warm/happy/sad/depressed/high..etc. And that's when I realised, that I'm one of *those* people.
So, everyone.. Next time you're travelling somewhere, or even when at home. Just press "shuffle" on your music thing, and you'll be surprised what may come up!
another lonely, tear falls
I'm trying to write you this song
but I can hardly, see the page at all..
Cause it's breaking my heart,
when I look in your eyes,
and I don't see me.. anymore
When you're all I'm living for.."

Another, new venture!
Thanks to Tal Bhai's interesting question, I've finally thought about something, that should bring Fog, some popularity. And ofcourse, make those people out there, understand, what Fog, is all about. =D
He asked me, "If you were to write a book, what would it be called and what would it be about?".. I thought really hard.. And this is what I came up with!
- It would be called, "FogSface - Short stories on theiving Socks and Veanses."
- It would be based on the following:
Now, this book will come as a series of 8 books (at first, and with the growing popularity, I will publish more books!).. Each book will be divided into 3 short stories (listed above) - Each continuing from the last book!
These books will be marketed towards people above the age of 14.. Why 14? Because Fog uses swear words such as, "fogg off you foggin sit face!".. And also because, I think people at the age of 13 are very confused. I mean, they've just become a so-called teenager, but are still registering the fact that they are not 12 anymore. By the time they've realised they are all *cool* and teenagerified, they turn 14.. Obviously, younger children can read this.. Because there is no seriousness to the books.. It's just that, they won't understand the complexity of the characters! They have depth, you know! A lot of it.
Each of these short stories will not relate to one another. They will be labelled as follows:
1 - "Fog's Story"
2 - "PrincessBananaHammock - The sock theif's story"
3 - "Miaw's story" (obviously, the story about cat's - i.e. - Cookie and Frosty's adventures!)
Each of these books, will have three short stories, as I've said before (or have I *thinks*).. And each book will be titled according to the adventures of these three characters. For example, the first book of the eight-books series, will be an introduction-type-thing to each of the stories.. etc. So, I'll call it, "FogSface - A new way to *Mazik*".. To understand that word, you'd have to read the book..! =D
I'm afraid, that is all the information I can give you all for now.. Since it's all highly confidential! And you know.. Ahem.. Because I don't quite know the rest yet.. *Whistles innocently*
I love my idea's. I'm so totally creative, it's amazing. *Dances*.
Ahem. In other news:
- As of 8.30 PM today, Goats now say, "Baa"! According to me, that is.
- Everybody is now, my Wally. Smelly is my biggest Wally. Anisa comes next.. and it goes on. Everyone around me is now my, Wally. And to make it MINE.. I trademark and Copyright it! So here goes:
Ahem.. I have too much time on my hands. Tsk. But, to get a better understanding of My Wally thing.. Watch: Friends, Series 2 - Episode 20 - "The one where Old Yeller dies" - Watch the bit with Chandler and Joey call Richard, their, Dad. =D
I must bid you all farewell now. I have so much to do.. *Plonks down, and falls asleep*

- Cats - Because they have socks too!
