As you can notice from the image above, I’m really loving my cheap drawing tablet. I tried playing with it, and those were the outcomes, even though the game we launched recently at Xuqa on Facebook, is more of a glossy thing than it is sketchy, you can check it out here (You need to be logged in to facebook to access the game).

Also I’m going to starting on some really nice games here on Xuqa, soon. But for now we trying to iron out all the bugs present in the current game system, which are very small in numbers and significance though.

Oh and the other image that you see above is my new artwork which I recently posted on deviantart, which can be seen here. It was basically my first (finished) artwork on my new drawing tablet

Anyways, since I m at work, and I haven’t got my internest connection subscription renewed, I think I’ll continue my stories later, I m hoping I can get my subscription renewed.. Till then..

Later.

Singapore is one amazing place to be, and I’d love to be back there in no time, but honestly the only thing I miss when I m there, is the food, my family, my love and all.

But right now  I m in Karachi, and I m enjoying every bit of it, except when I had to go to the office the night I landed actually that was nice too

I m enjoying the food mama’s makin and obviously meeting all my mates, haven’t met all of them though

Oh and here are a few of the pictures from my appartment.

It’s been a couple of days since I had landed in Karachi on the 1st November, and since then I’ve become pretty busy here, yes I also found a better job, which is more relevent to my experience as a web designer.

Not only that, but i’ve also been offered alot of jobs since I came back, and most of them were of great value, but I had to point myself to one direction, so I opted joining Xuqa. It’s an online gaming company, which means I’ll also be learning a good deal of flash, so I can be a part of the game development team, which is good. I m hoping to master the Actionscript area mostly.

Other than that, I went to visit my old office Creative Chaos, and had some good time spent there, met the old folks, maaaaan I miss that place.

Anyways, I was late yesterday at my work place, and I then I saw one of my former collegue online, who was also at her work place, fortunately she lives near my house, so I asked her if she could drop me near my place, to which she agreed, I’d like to thank her for that.. many many thanks. A million thanks.

Oh I’d also like to tell the world that my Dubai trip was good, awesome with the people at the office, and my relatives, but otherwise Dubai is not a place to live, atleast for a guy like me, I m not a fan of too much luxury and honestly Dubai is a place for tourists..

Any how, I’d like to thank these people from Illusio: Mr. Ronaq, Shuja, Mansoor, Babar, Shahzeb, Saahir, Riaz (boy oh boy), Murtaza, Naeem, Murtaza, Aurangzeb, Sajid. Thank you so much.

Oh and I’ve been talking to lady ‘M’ recently like 10 minutes for two-three days already.

The rest all seems cool for now, I hope to have a good time at Xuqa. Got to hit the sack now.

I was out of the office last weekend, and boy it was so much fun.

We went to a dance club, and got out of there at around 3 in the morning, and it was a pretty good expereicne, I m not the kind of guy who would hit on every other girl, I already have one, so I just danced with the people I went there with, and most of them were from my office.. Awesome expereince.

We then went to Tauseef’s apartment in Ajman, which I should say is pretty good compared to our living place, which is not big, we dont stay much home either, but then again, it feels good to have a big living place, any how, we went to Tauseef’s house, and had some fun, but then slept so we could go to the pool in the morning, and then it tuns out we woke up at around 4 pm the next day.. boom boom pooo !

We had to skip the pool idea and went other places instead, roamed around, and then went to watch Max Payne.. what a bad idea ! The movie doesn’t live up to it’s hype at all, first it tries to look like it’s some kind of a horror flick, but then it’s not. The movie is pretty slow, and doesn’t seem to be able to build it’s story line properly. Honestly, my opinion is that it’s not really worth the money, so download it and watch it instead of visiting the cinema

The rest is just usual.

It’s actually been like a week since I dropped in Dubai, but I didn’t get the time to write something, I know that may some of you off, but apology is all I can offer right now !

Any how, I flew here to assist a company “Illusio” in their design department, and it’s been a good ride so far.

I didn’t get to meet all my relatives in this time period, even though I met some of them, today again, I’ll be out visitng some of my relatives, because while I m living here, I might need their attention and they might need mine, so it’s good to keep up with them.

As for me being here, right now it’s going to be a short term, ut probably stretch to full scale soon.

Then this company Illusio, has finally given me a mac to work with, my last work space had all PC’s this is one of the things that I actually like about this place. And again the people are fun to be with, even the head guy is awesome as in he’s a full time funkie guy with the employees.

Since it’s Dubai and you’ll see alot of people around that belong to different parts of the world, it’s interesting to know some of them, and again some of is not so good, but overall it’s been a good experience.

Then my family back in Karachi has been missing me alot, much more than I m missing them, I know they love me more than I do, it’s kind of obvious ! My parents gave birth to me, and most creators love their creation. Mom and dad I love you.. and you my little sis ! One of my coolest friend is also probably missing me in Pakistan, yah it’s the one and only cool guy: Asim. miss you too man. oh and his bro’s here too. There’s two more important people I m missing.. M lady and uzey. Love both of you too… M lady, Love you alot !

Oh I just forgot, I m with babrus, one of the coolest folks I know, he’s a little down lately, I know some of the reasons, but I m not going to share them. also his uncle passed away yesterday, a moment of silence and prayers for him please.

That’s about what’s in my head right now. Love you all !

This post is around 10 minutes before I leave house for the air port, though I’ve been thinking of writing a post for about days now, but sadly, the bad part is that I was either too lazy to do so, or I actually was busy doing something. So any how, I m about to be leaving for Dubai in around some time now.

Things have been great recently, specially the people around me, and the people who I know even for a short time. I would like to thank all these people for being so kind to me, these include Uzey, Fahd, Hassan, Najam, Omair, Furqan, Zair and all the people from my last working place, I would also like to show my middle finger to my best buddy Asim, because we hate saying thanks to each other, so the middle finger does the trick Love ya dude and there’s one more person I’d like to thank, the M Lady, I love her.

I’ve also been blessed with a good family who loves and prays from me all the time, thanks so much mom and dad and my sweet sis.

Oh and how can I forget, my last project TimeSvr, is live, I mean it was live before too, but the new design that I worked on is now online, you can check it out here.

It’s also the second day of Eid today, and honestly the first one went fine, I was actually watchign movies

There nohting more I can say right now, except a big thank you to every one, pray for me. Love you all.

Damn man, this is so tiring, I know I might not be the best, atleast I know a couple of folks who are better than me, at what we do. So any how, oh well never mind..

Right now, at this very moment, I m super exhausted, like super super exhausted.. I know it’s nit much, but I haven’t slept in like 24+ hours, and damn I doozed off for a couple of minutes here, and I snored.. damn, I never knew I snore. shit shit shit..

Oh and I m also talking to M lady right now, which feels good, since she’s in Lahore for a wedding, and she’s having fun, maybe missing me too I hope so I m hoping she’s haveing a real good time… Oh yeah I love her.

But hell this work is getting on my nerver now..

It’s been some time since I blogged, and I have one big excuse.. FREAKING CRAZY PTCL… !

Yes my phone line was dead, until I decided I had enough, and got my DSL disconnected and purchased WiMax from Wateen.. it’s been a good ride with Maxcom, but PTCL made it miserable..

Any how, I m back online, and thats good..

Oh boy, I played cricket last Saturday, after some 6 ong years I suppose, yes since I shifted to Gulistan-e-Jauhar, I didn’t play cricket, maybe coz I didn’t find any good folks to play with or maybe I became way too involved with work.. But it was some good efforts, I was playing with my office collegues on a saturday night, and I guess I’ll be doing the same this Saturday too

Also, M lady is off to Lahore for soem time, to attend some weddings.. (feels a little lonely in Karachi … ) haha

And then I m working on my secret website..haha no, it ain’t porn.. I m redesigning my portfolio, it’s almost done, just a  quick few things.. shoudl be done with it soon.. Inshallah.

And then again, TeaBreak is getting is dose of updates every now and then, and some big events lined up, oh and did I mention, it’s gettign some big buzz in the media too

Lately me and Asim Imtiaz had been co-ordinating on putting the last pieces of the big joint venture together, the whole collaboration involved WordPress (as the basic ground), Asim (on further complex development), Ammar (Marketing, sponsorships), Me (design and front end code) and Zair (front end code). Yes my friends teabreak is just round the corner, waiting to happen and land itself on our little web browsers…

My suggestion to all the folks is first, get firefox, seriously, it’s the best thing that has ever happened to the internet, and their latest version, 3, is smokin hot ! You’ll fall in love, no kiddin !

Ok, so what I was saying is that the new version is a major change from the current look of the website, it is going to have new logo, like the one that looks above, it’s gonna have a darker theme, black tea would come to mind.

It has a some interactive elements to it, yes things move in it, I would like to thank the guys behind jquery, and specially John Resig for that. Adding some of the things would have been much problematic had there been no jquery.

I would also thank all those who stood by our side, supported us, hated us, screamed at us, drank tea with us, played with us, made fun of us, gayed around with us , gave us great ideas and all the those who’ve been our great audience. We love you folks.

I would also like to thank the folks at my and zair’s current office, that is Creative Chaos, the people there are super supportive, I would like to thank the entire design and development team here.

Thanks and Love.
