I’ve probably have had quite a weekend after quite some time, it just keeps getting better, no kidding and I m loving it.

First I get to meet my friends (Anum, Imran & Haris) over for lunch at Nando’s, where by the way I scored a free meal, ooh that’s an interesting Espetata story, and I realized the kind of an A**hole I am.. So we’re there, and our order’s served, since I got an an Espetata, it came with the huge frame it has, and just as it was served I noticed a little hair on the frame, mind you on the frame not on the plate, now this is completely negligible, but nooo Shahzad Khan had to be a b***h, so I don’t care if a hair’s hangin on the frame, it far from touching my food, and I m completely aware of that, but halfway through the meal, wait not half way through, I guess it was aound the last bits of the food, when our server comes to ask us if we need anything else, it just comes out that oh lookii there’s hair on my food and it’s not ours.. She’s like ‘Oh Sir it’s on the frame, I’ll just remove the frame for you..’, I m like ‘Alright sure…’ just then the hair falls on my plate, now this is what I wanted but not planned, so the hair falls on my plate, and I m like ‘Oh my god! I can’t eat this, I mean seriously you expect me to eat this now’ and this was not a screaming tone, I was pretty calm, but she’s freaked out (1st Accomplishment! Wohoo), so she’s like I’ll just get it replaced for you.. I m like ‘Yeah sure, I mean thats about right, get it replaced’ so about 10 minutes later, I have a new Espetata on the table… Since I had eaten most of the last one, I wasn’t really hungry, so I ate half, got the rest packaged along with some other food that my friends had left, and we gave it to a poor kid outside.

Oh wait I forgot to mention these people haven’t seen the 2 girls 1 cup video yet.. I mean come on, who hasn’t..just get done with it.. See See now.. I m willing to give out the direct link on request on my IM or facebook.

Then on Sunday I get to meet Uzey, Abdullah & Asim after quite some time.. and man that was fun, no that was Awesome. We ate at Copper Kettle and man those people who named those items on the menu were seriously perverted.. no shit man. They have items like ‘Kiss my buns’, ‘Belly Dancer’ and some other shitily awesome names

Anyways, I think I’ve completed some other stuff too, and I m pretty happy about it.. Did I tell you that Death note is pure awesome, I mean it’s F**kin Amazing…. and Ryuk is the DUDE!

For a long time till I blog.. Cheers.

Let’s do a little recap here.. shall we.

I went to Pakistan recently, and had a good time, which included the Tweet up, which I didn’t quite write about. It was one of the best things I attended in Pakistan since the Bloggers meet up. I met some more people, some really awesome ones, took really crazy (birdie poop) pictures, and socialized.

I also got to hang out with awesome folks there the same day (Anum Vighio, Imran Hassan, Umair Khan Jadoon, Taimoor, Sana Saleem, Aly B, Haris Nadeem, Enk, Byte Connector, Ayesha, Salman.. did I miss anyone ?)

Anyways, a few days later, infact the day I had to fly I also pulled out enough time to do a mini interview for CIO Pakistan, I felt good I did that

Anyways once back in Singaland, I had to finish up loads of work that piled up sometime last week, I stayed 3 days at office just to finish up work …. shweeeeeepp…. forward to yesterday.

We went out for fireworks wagera since it was National day here, but sadly reached too late.. anyways I ditched Hamaad and Saad, and went for Reverse Bungi which I enjoyed greatly, really really greatly Had food later, and celebrated Fraz’s birthday.

Also I m still up and haven’t slept yet, and it’s about 7 effin AM… gotta hit the sack now.. later.

I’ve been bloggin for quite some time now, I used to do it ona friend’s hosting service before I got my own hosting for work reasons, it was much of a freedom after I had my own hosting. Blogging for me helped me to stay calm and all, you see I could say anything I want on my page, and no one could order me to bring down things, which is the best thing about writing online, you’re your own complete staff, so anyhow, it’s obvious that I would have been pretty excited about this event which was being hosted by Google Pakistan and CIO Pakistan. They had called for all the bloggers in Karachi, and people had come from even different cities to attend this event, which in my opinion is very awesome.

Let me jot down how my I experienced it, I was there with Ammar (RONIN), an hour earlier, which is not quite how the regular Pakistani does it, but honestly we didn’t actually know the way to Royal Rodale we had to find it, turned out the route wasn’t difficult at all. As we approached the hall where this event was being held, we saw a couple of advertisement stands of Google, Wateen, CIO outside in the corridor. As we entered we were greeted by Salaina, who was rather amazed that we had come before time, she handed us our “Hanging Passes” and we walked right into the hall, where the stage was being set up with minor changes being made, then we saw Saad and Haris with their laptops, sooner people had started to walk in, and it felt like something really good was building up, we also got hands on a Red bull, for free

Let me now jump to the main event, the meet up started a little late because of the participants arriving a little late, which is a norm though a not so good one, any how, Rabia took the stage and made the announcements and called Dr. Awab Alvi and Sabeen Mahmud on stage, where they discussed various issues took questions and obviously answered them

Then the microphone was handed over to Badar Khushnood, the only Google representative in Pakistan, and boy he made his points clear and pretty nicely, his basic talk was about the introduction of blogging to people who donot know how to blog or dont know about blogging at all.

Then we had Haris and Saad on stage who talked about Sizlopedia and Sizzledcore, from which they earn thousands of dollars a month, which is awesome.. Jaw dropping for many.

It was a panel questions and answers then, which was after Ramla got to talk about her venture and after Ammar talked about Teabreak.

One of the most important things about the panel discussion was when Shazia spoke, Shazia was a blind girl who was blogging, which made a difference for us because we could understand how they blog and read, being a CSS kid I knew a bit about it, but it was worth more for everyone else.

Then we all went for a Teabreak, I mean a real one.

The event was one that was informative and a very good way to socialize with each other too. We got to know lots of bloggers and their opinions on different topics, I got to meet Ali K. Chishti who’s a lawyer by profession but a funky guy otherwise.

I would love to see those bloggers united agian soon, Inshallah, and I hope more of this kind of events happen across the country.
