Aby's Thoughts and Drivel

my week rocks

2005-08-18T21:22:00.000+09:30

i m bloggin right now even though i have a couple of assignments to finish. but people think i m lazy if i dont blog when i get the opportunity. so, decided to blog anywayz.

tuesday was such a nice day. but not such a nice day after all. ended up sad. for some hours. but thats cool now (def'ly no more lamos). today is a nice day. infact a very nice day. especially because it is ending well as well. with no bad things happening. and between a very eventful tuesday and an equall eventful today, also managed to read up on davinci code,a nd devoured some nanna buns alongside ( i think i m hooked to those devilish things) . nice book. thanks sydalg for the book. and thanks teeevil as well.......also saw phone booth, not a must see, but def'ly a pretty decent movie.......i think i liked it; could be becoz of the company though......seems to make most things a bit rosier......but even that couldnt help with "my boss's daughter"..........the movie sucks so much, i can go on and on about how crappy it is.....

cricket after so long. surprisingly i m not sore even though i didnt play any cricket for months before today. i have not been working out or anything, have i??? anywayz, it was good to get into some kind of sport again....

got rakhis in mail today. thanks all of u sisters. and, i also need to call mum more often.

more later, got to do some assignments....

i m back!!

2005-08-07T01:42:00.000+09:30

NOT been around this place for days now! anywayz, people back home think that this such a waste a time.......and i DO have better things to do....though actually, people saying that encourages me to blog just that li'l bit more ;P And, its SO good to be back!! Yay!! btw, the indian trip was awesome too......

i guess i'll just start with the food stuff.....pigging out nonstop since i came back......home-made cookies (AWESOME!)......pastas.....kfc....AB....banana split......bubble teaS......soft serveS.......pretzels......and i m sure i must have still left some stuff out......

actually started watching TV as well after 2 semesters of paying out TV-addicts......

and Oh, btw, i m the new internet/webmaster guy for spe for 2005/06 whatever that means...i just hope i get more internet quota and 24 hrs access to my fave computer lab......trying to get sydalg to become the Chief-Assistant-In-Charge or something ;) ......she knows her net-stuff well, started browsing Stuff at a pretty young age apparantly.......knows ALL about the net........

watched dus today, again.......in the middle of the movie, when it was intermission, bren had this angry-blank-pissedoff-hungry look on her face..........she thought that the movie just ended, and yes, it was kinda abrupt for her ;) but its all good.......the movie started again after 10 minutes.......

i think people experimenting on my hair isnt that bad an idea after all.....dont think mentioning the new look here will be a very wise idea........but surprisingly, my stud-twin turned out to be a pretty decent hair-stylist :)

so excited about bollywod-night :D........kush and zayed (for today, thats just rock) coming as well.........so is rob.......and some (+18)-wannabes as well.........

sydalg, i dont think anyone noticed ur *burp**cough*. Really. Everyone just mistook it for a sore throat. So clever. But its all cool. ur pasta and cookies make up for it totally........

gotta do some stressful analysis tomorrow......between lunch and dinner........maybe do some other uni stuff too....thats the "plan" anywayz..........gotaa keep the weekdays free..........actually, wanna keep the weekends free as well.........cannt we have another day in the week or something??

more later
~Aby

p.s.: just picked this up from sydalg's blog.....sounds kinda accurate to me....but that could just be becoz of all the good things it says:

Your Birthdate: April 10

Your birth on the 10th day of the month adds a tone of independence and extra energy to your life.

The number 1 energy suggest more executive ability and leadership qualities than you path may have indicated.

A birthday on the 10th of any month gives greater will power and self-confidence, and very often a rather original approach.

This 1 energy may diminish your ability and desire to handle details, preferring instead to paint with a broad brush.

You are sensitive, but your feeling stay somewhat repressed.

You have a compelling manner that can be dominating in many situations.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Ancient Proverb

2005-07-27T18:53:00.000+09:30

such an odd coincidence this morning.....a couple of days back i had come across this ancient proverb of the oriental east in RD, and then, today, received it again in an email from a school-mate....i guess i'll put it in here now, coz i dont hae to type it out, just copy-paste ;D

"there is no economy in going to bed early to save candles if the result be twins"

o_O

i dont think anymore tightassedness is even possible.

going to watch a hindi movie today "dus"....supposedly "highly entertaining", which, roughly translated in the bollywood context means "dumb storyline, nice songs, unbelievably laughable action sequences"....but oh, well...as if i have anything better to do.....will def'ly stay awake for the song "dus bahane"....supposedly the hit of this summer.....btw, abhishek bachchan also acts in the movie....so, def'ly expecting some cheesiness :(

not ALL models are gays!

even though i must admit that most of them look atleast bi.....

still relaxing...

2005-07-27T03:45:00.000+09:30

k, i know i have had enough of shopping and i know i m totally bored when i start modelling all the clothes for my parents, when i should be packing them....how cheesy can one get!

mum: u really shouldnt be doing ur degree..just join some modelling agency
me (thinking) : could her tone BE any more sarcastic than this??

having so much trouble packing...what with all the extra clothing that seems to have suddenly appeared...thanks to mum and masis......and now i even have to fit an umbrella in ;D really funny about the old umbrella though, i just hope its price tag comes off by accident pretty soon ;) even though, i wuld love to see the reactions if its discovered ;)

sydalg, i seriously need ur help.....my bag is so stuffed with extra stuff, it isnt even closing properly......wont u just sit on it for a sec so that i can zip it up ;) ??

Yay about rob's car! congrats rob! i bet abish and crush are even happier than u r right now ;D

thats all for now.......more soon....
Abhishek

back again

2005-07-21T15:56:00.000+09:30

blogging after a long long while!!!

well, i m in kolkata right now, and the only nice thing in this city is that my parents stay here (i hope only for a couple of yrs)......never realized i loved delhi so much......or that i had gotten so used to adelaide......

watched mr. and mrs. smith, not too bad.....but not too good as well.....wuldnt have watched it if i wasnt this bored......also saw the english bowler hit both the aussie openers......Go Harmison!!! england better give a good fight, or the next few days will be even more boring......

wanted to post some pics of my trip so far......but the net is too slow, and i m feeling too lazy anywayz, will prolly do that when i get back to adelaide.......

btw, congrats Veni and Nancy on ur gr8 placements.......well done......and rati, i m pretty sure all iim-hopefuls are breathing a bit more freely now......well done on ur DU result though......didnt expect u to do so well ;)

ankush, howz ur trip going dude?? had any luck with ur "search" yet? ;) hope u had fun in chandigarh.......

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.......or some movie of a similar name, with jim and kate is gonna come on hbo this month...Yay!! but i m not THAT sure if i actually want to watch it in india....what do u think sydalg???

had fish-curry at mukerjee aunty's place yesterday....fantastic! if i told u that i dont like fish, i was only kidding....i think i love fish......as long as there are no thorns in it......

planning to head out into the city tomorrow.....maybe play snooker or something.....if there is snooker in this city that is.......

thats all for now i guess......nothing much has really happened......apart from the fact that i somehow managed to injure myself in this trip as well...damn scooter.....but thats all cool now......

more later, as soon as something actually happens....
Abhishek

p.s.: mum has been making awesome food as well.....and masis too......thats one good thing....they havnt forgotten how to cook ;)

things u do...

2005-07-05T04:25:00.000+09:30

ANOTHER rainy day.....and a very humid nite...thank god for the aircon...

saw massive royal bengal tigers today, and some puny african lions too....

checked out eden gardens, always wanted to do that.....wasnt allowed in though...tried my best to make rob cry by telling him how inida beat aus there, but it didnt work :(

went to victoria memorial at night, such a shame it wasnt lit up though, looks really nice when its lit up, and the fountians are going...

did get to ride in the victoria though, which is just a 2-horse driven carriage in kolkata, that was pretty neat...

i m not gonna say anything food-related...i ahve been pigging out so much, i can actualy feel myself swelling up....better start dieting from today or something i guess.....

Now, about the pic at the top....

bren is the on one the right, trying to look cute...
i m the cute one. yes, the one in the middle....
sydalg is just asking for more food....

bye, and see u soon
Aby

i dont wanna become FAT

2005-07-04T04:00:00.000+09:30

NEWS UPDATE

india is fun....meeting my parents is so good......food is so gr8......place is really nice....

i like cakes...i cannt live without icecreams......and my mum's cake-icecream dish.....what can i say......its just heavenly.....its so good......

rob seems to be liking india as well....the cows on the road seem to impress him quite a bit ;) and he still cannt get it that sometimes people just honk their horns for no reason at all.....

i think finally all the coffee is out of my body....oh man, two days without any sleep is so not like me......but i dont think it was just coffee......no substance (and i have tried several) is potent enough to keep me awake 2 nights straight....watching bollywood movies with brenda and sydalg was also one of the reasons....brenda is quite pleasant company....sydalg isnt too bad either.....

cheesy movies best describe what we were apparantly watching....i wont say def'ly watching, coz i wasnt seeing much of the movies anywayz......already seen them before. 20 times. ddlj is a classic. period.

dont wanna put it in my blog in any tricky way and i dont wanna say it beteen the lines.....so, i think i'll just email u........

bye
Abhishek

p.s.:
1) i better sleep. i need to get ready for a big breakfast....some potoato dish and puries......i love puries!!!!!!

2) i m getting that feeling again.....the feeling which i get when i leave something important behind.......what did i leave behind this time? i hate this feeling......i wish i could blank-up my mind whenever i wanted to.....that wuld be so good......i hate cheesy thoughts.....they annoy me.....i think people with cheesy thoughts are pretty stupid.....i get cheesy thoughts all the time.....and i cannt do anything to stop them...

last few days...... :( or :) ??!!

2005-06-30T00:30:00.000+09:30

DINNER at deepti's place is always so good....thanks for having us over deepti and nimit......and, deepti, could you please excuse kush's big mouth ;) i m sure he didnt mean that.........

Abhishek is such a nice name....with such a nice meaning....
Sydalg is such a nice name......i wont go into the meaning though ;)

ok, i know that was a very sydalg thing to put into the blog......

bren, i m totally sure that ur finger is completely alright.....nothing wrong with it.....i think it will get better faster if u stop staring at it :)

i think i have come to realize that cheesy pictures are actually good pictures.

i have also realized that the only way to study petrophysics is do it with someone.....and if that someone is interesting, its so much better......but for now, i guess sydalg will do.......

rob is going to india....and i think his level of excitement has to be atleast 10 times ours.....actually make that 100......

i m so dead without my 8 hrs sleep!! i can even sleep standing-up.....thats so sydalg-ish again.....i couldnt believe it when she had fallen asleep standing up in that microscopy place......but i did it as well in the afternoon today.....so, i guess it is kinda possible.......

i think i should do the density-neutron thing now.......

~adios
Abhishek

p.s.: this could be the last blog before i leave australia......

:) && :(

def'ly mixed emotions.........

Dreaming about beaches

2005-06-26T22:13:00.000+09:30

i hate sandstone....
i love sand....

a long holiday on a secluded beach will be sooooo good........i have been working too hard as always.......need to totally relax.......amongst some corals maybe

A Few Good Things

2005-06-25T23:52:00.000+09:30

THERE is no such thing as too much of a good thing........

green apple black tea, mango liquorice, cappucino cookies.......yummm! still, the lingering taste is that of nuggets.......i wouldnt have settled for anything else anywayz.....

finally managed to get my sheets changed.......

abish and crush, the reading rooms in the state library are NOT sound-proof!!

i hate wake-up alarms.
i love wake-up messages.

and yeah, before i forget, sydalg, u r def'ly the most uncoordinated person ever.....i have handed over the baton to u now.....u r the new un-cod.....

~till later
A b h i s h e k <- ccoww, thats how my name is spelled, with an "H" in it ;)

Grow Up.....

2005-06-24T22:07:00.000+09:30

YOUNGER siblings can be so annoying!! its like younger they are, def'ly the worse they are........i just wish they culd grow up and quit giving people a hard time.......just when u think they are nice, u realize that they have been just "acting" nice all this while........

sucks. big time.

its not cool to annoy people......
its not cool to tell tall tales......
its def'ly not cool to bitch......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

do i need to change my sheets or what?? suddenly noticed today that they have become too dirty to sleep in.....all of a sudden.....yeeew.....and i need to vaccume my room as well......and i need to pack as well.......so much to do.......so less time.......

so little to do......so much time.....why else do u think i m blogging right now?? only two exams next week.......and only some other things to do.......yes, i m still completely sane......o_O

any contact with ol' school friends is always so nice.....especially if the old friend is veni....who is def'ly not that old ;) congrats veni.....ur job sounds so cool.....but, pune is so far :( and i still dont get it, howcome u cannt eat chocolates??!! u sure?? try Lindts; they might help u change ur mind.......btw, do u wanna know how many people were there in ur "fan club"?? i wasnt one of them though. no way. ok, i def'ly wasnt the founding member. seriously. its true.

i so dont want to, but i HAVE to mention the phenomena called wasim in my blog......there is a subcontinental food eatery in the international food court in adelaide right in the middle of the city.......the guy who works there, wasim, well, one thing is for sure, he def'ly dosnt know any maths.......none at all......today kush, abish and rock went to this place for lunch:

Kush: can we get 8 naan-breads please?
Wasim: 8?
Kush: yes, 8 naan-breads......
Wasim: ok, wait, i'll just give u guys a call when they are ready.......

(wasim makes the naans while kush, abish and rock grab seats......soon, wasim calls them)

now, he hands them 3 plates, each with 2 naans in it.....

kush: i ordered 8 naans......these are only 6.....
Wasim: no, they are 8.....see 2 and 2 and 2
kush: but thats 6....
Wasim: what are u talking (sic)??? 2 each in 3 plates.......8 right??
kush: i m pretty sure thats 6........2+2+2=6
Wasim: Oh, sorry! yes yes.....i'll just make 2 more......

now, how annoying and dumb and stupid is that??? what i have written nhere in 5-6 linses of convo actually took kush about 5-10 minutes to explain to wasim......

btw, wasim is from "Azad Kashmir".......is that even a place?? dude, either say Pakistan or India.....whats this crap 'bout "Azad kashmir"?!? o_O

and i wuld rather have it that he says pakistan......dont want people to get the impression that he is from india anywayz.......

sydalg.......WASH UR HANDS NOW!!! dirty dirty dirty..........cannt believe i had that jelly baby........ :(

more later. need to wash out my mouth with some soap.

time & home

2005-06-23T20:49:00.000+09:30

I think my time works differently from everyone-else's..........most people's time works on a regular 24hr cycle, with 60 minute hrs and 60 second minutes.......my body-clock works on a fly-stop principle.......
either time flies, and i m perpetually always trying to catch up with it, reluctant to let it go.............. OR, it slows down to the extent of dragging for ages.............

fly-stop.
fly-stop.
..............

i have kindof started noticing patterns in it.......petrophysics is definitely a time-stopper........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i am never homesick.
i hate homesickness.
i think homesick people are acting/playing up.
but i AM homesick now.

i need to sleep in my bed.....in my home.......

finally got my passport back with the singapore visa........

exams.......are.......dragging on.........instead of the swot-vac, cannt we just have all our exams on consecutive days, and get them done with.........not that i m complaining, but its so boring waiting for the next one......

later~
Abhishek.........

bangladesh shocks aussies! YAY!

2005-06-19T16:44:00.000+09:30

THERMO-FLUIDS is over and done with.........hopefully, i wouldn't have to do it all over again......

I finally got to taste the famous china-town beef noodle yesterday, and now i know what all the fuss is about.......its actually good........and i even got to show off my chopstick skills.......which i must say i seriously lack.......though i had good company in sydalg, who happens to be a self-proclaimed chopstick noob.........but then, indians are not expected to be chopstick-savvy anywayz.......whats ur excuse sydalg??

*cannt believe i used the word noob just then*

rainy days do have their advantages.......u get to sleep in......just give me a warm room and a quilt on a cold rainy day and i'll be really really happy........and add some rendang, and i'll be ur fan forever..........btw, i never knew that broccoli could taste that good..........i guess it all depends on who cooks it..........

*******************************************

visiting !dys's home makes me really homesick :(

*******************************************

.....but its all good.....i'll be in india in two weeks time! for a month! YAY!!

i just want to go on and on about how good yesterday was.......but i think i should get started with kam and defs now.......two exams in a day, and i m not even worried......is that good or bad??

Bangladesh beat Australia!! Shocked is more like it!! And i loved every bit of it, even though i neither support Australia nor Bangladesh.........but australian cricket has become so strong the last few years that u just have to make it the rest-of-the-world against australia, and rejoice over every victory!! first england (jones and gaugh), then somerset (Graeme Smith and Sanath, awesome performance!!) and now, bangladesh (Ashraful is a hero!!)........could this be the beginning of the end of the aussie era???

chris and kev arent amused though, they wuld love to give the aussie players a piece of their minds........

http://aus.cricinfo.com/natwestseries/content/story/211413.html

I loved the look on the faces of all the aussies in my tv lounge when the tiny bangladeshi tailender hit the six off the last over.......definitely a mixture of emotions ;)

Just a comparison (Goliath vs David):

Avg aus team age: 28 yrs
Avg ban team age: 21 yrs

Avg no. of matches aus team has played: 200-something
Avg no. of matches ban team has played: 30-something

Avg. aus team height: 5'11''
Avg ban team height: 5'5''

more later.......and go bangladesh!

examinations and biology.......

2005-06-16T20:44:00.000+09:30

SOMETIMES its so hard to put down ur thoughts into words........but i'll try.......there is something really nice going on these days, and i m so glad to be right in the middle of things.......its def'ly a great feeling.......

as for exams, how can i hate them when i get to study for them every day ;) ?? the importance of having an excellent study group cannt be over-emphasized........yes, i know, maybe i dont get THAT much study done this way, but atleast i dont bore myself to death (far from it!!), and actually look forward to study time........

teeevil, how come u dont like exams?? maybe u need a study-partner as well.....get someone a bit more interesting than sydalg though.........she just yawns too much, which makes me feel like sleeping all the time.........

its really funny how robbie seems to lock himself out of the santos computer lab each time he goes out for anything........my chance today to get up and open the door for him........back in a sec.........
*******************************************
.....back............

biology. i thought i was done with my share of studying for it when i finished year 10. but its funny the way old things come back to haunt u afresh.......here i m trying to get through an engineering course; its amazing how tutoring a yr 10 kid in biology fits into the scheme of things right now.......... i really dont mind a bilogy lesson now and then myself though....... it can be a very rewarding subject if u r interested in it........

i need to get these NOW:

1) a calculator
2) a parking ticket machine or a coin dispenser
3) some study done........

more later.....

p.s.: its nice to know that i m not the only forgetful person.........

Of weird dreams and weirder realities.......

2005-06-15T19:37:00.000+09:30

just an addition to the rest of the blog: (9:05 pm)

went to get a pizza with rock a while back.......on king william st. i saw rock looking upwards and pondering.......as he told me later, he just thought that he had seen two moons!! O_o and later realized that one of them was just a white street light on king william.......... nothing much i can add to this.....u know what my thoughts about this are......rob is here now......getting down to so some serious studying now......seriously.....i really am.....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

READING up on war of the worlds just before sleeping wasnt such a good idea after all......especially knowing that i have the "good fortune" of having a really good imagination......which creeps up on me even when i m trying to catch some shut-eye.......but still, dreaming of crazy martian girl-type aliens isnt my kind of relaxation.......definitely not when they are maybe trying to eat you up or something worse...... i think my dream kinda got mixed up, turning up as a combination of

a) martians from war of the worlds
b) some piggish folks who inhabit this planet

i wish the martians wuld just leave me alone......i like having pleasant dreams......

slept-in in the afternoon, couldnt be bothered about the tutoring, a touch of cold, and "examination preparation" were the deciding factors......truth be told, i just needed more sleep......just not used to early-morning yawn-inducing sojourns to the library reading rooms......not that i m complaining, coz they def'ly work! anywayz, woke up around 5......went out to the lounge for a bit of fresh air.......and ofcourse my stupid door didnt close properly....... now, this is the crazy part......i come back into my room, and there is my umbrella, placed very properly on my pillow by god-knows-who......i know i fiddle a lot with things when i m bored or maybe talking on the phone (btw, this really irritates my mum, the way i move about while talking on the phone, circling things and other crazy stuff)...........but i surely didnt do it........rock is atleast not owning up to doing it........who might it be??? was it just me again?? but the thing is that it wasnt thrown or anything......just placed really properly.....totally looks like rock's work, but, i know, could have been me......

ever wondered how time flies when u dont want it to, and how it slllllooooooows down, again, when u dont want it to...........I HATE IT!! normally i m not that emphatic about my feelings, but i def'ly hate it how time plays trick on all of us....and especially on me :(
........... as a sort of a mini-revenge, i have decided not to wear a watch the whole time i m in india........

green apple black tea rocks! but i still wish sydalg wuld stop stealing my strawberry all the time....such a copy-cat! but its alright i guess.......after all, imitation is the best form of flattery........

crazy thought for the day: i dont think i actually hate exams all that much! there; now i have put it in print......think what u want.......

Adiós. Yo le veré pronto.
~Aby

p.s.: thinking about booking a war of the worlds movie ticket right away.......no way m i gonna miss it! waiting for june 29th........

Structured Procrastination

2005-06-14T23:43:00.000+09:30

YES I know i have been going on and on about procrastination over the past few days.....but its one of the traits which actually sets me apart from other people.....most of them anywayz.......Here is what i should be doing right now and in this order:

1) studying fluids -> exam on saturday
2) studying defs -> exam on tuesday
3) doing some thermo practice -> exam on saturday

and here is what i actually ended up doing today:

1) met someone in the morning (a bit late)
2) did some thermo for reasons totally different from studying
3) met the thermo guy when i should have been in elec eng
4) had some nuggets
5) went to woolies
6) slept
7) downloaded songs and listened to them
8) watched the trailers for War of the World...
9) read up a bit of War of the World....
10) blogging right now

all of these are really important things as well, but not as high in the priority list as maybe studying should be.....ok, not points 1,2 and 4.....but def'ly all others......but then i suddenly realized something!! if i wasnt procrastinating, i wuldnt have got all this done!! i wuld have just studied, but not gone to woolies, not blogged and not done lots of other things which i actually ended up doing.......interesting......so, procrastination works........

also read up this essay on procrastination by John Perry : Structured Procrastination. This guy def'ly knows what he is talking about.....a must read!!....i realize now that i m not all that bad.....i m just a structured procrastinator......which actually seems like a good thing...........YAY!!!....just give me a task more important than studying for the exams right now, and watch me put in hours of nerdishness.........

more later.......
~Aby

note: it def'ly works for me, but that doesn't mean it will work for u as well.......

i dont like holidays all that much.........

2005-06-13T20:09:00.000+09:30

It might sound garfieldesque, but i think i def'ly have jinxed mondays.........and mondays and public-hols mixed togethor are especially bad.........even more so when i dont realize that its a public holiday......do i really care if its the queen of england's b'day?? not really.....anywayz, ms. queen, happy b'day if u come across this........

had to go and tutor this kid today........somewhere in broadview........miles north of the city..........and there was no public transport to be found........finally got the right bus, and surprisingly, still reached there in time.....so, all's well.......but it sux that i have to tutor when i need some tutoring myself.........

sydalg, i m truely jealous of ur garden.......and ur pics make me even more so........i know that if i jump off the roof of my hostel (which might not be such a gr8 idea), i might just land in the botanical gardens, which are quite huge and impressive, but still.........having ur own nice garden is def'ly nice.......especially if u have two sisters to rake up the leaves and take care of it.........

i wont bore u all with details of how much thermo sucks, and how i havnt started fluids yet.......and how defs is also not that far........and how i should be studying right now.......i think i m getting good at this: realizing when i need to study......but not necessarily doing something about it.........

~Abhishek~

gimme back my steady state o_O

2005-06-12T19:04:00.000+09:30

THERMODYNAMICS sux..........def'ly def'ly does.........u spend hours on it trying to figure out what things like steady state actually mean..........and as soon as u start thinking that u have finally got hold of the subject............it throws up questions like "what happens when something or the other cools down isothermally??" **** **** ***** ***** i think i might be getting amnesia just trying to think about it.........why cannt it just stay on in my memory uptil the exam?? no way i m going over it all over again.......stupid myuni isnt working as well..........someone is gonna get a hurt real bad now........

and when i mentioned spending hours, i meant exactly that: "spending hours on it"..........why m i even blogging right now??? shouldnt i be studying???.......just staring at lecture 4 was making me sleepy...........might as well blog and stay awake..........only 17 chapters in the book........that means, coz i THINK i have done the first 3, that only 14 more to go......only 14.......ONLY! o_O

k, thats the end of my panic attack........back to what i do BEST.........idling in front of the red book and thinking random thoughts........wait a sec.........dont i have to do fluids as well????????PANIC!!!!!!!!!!! panic, panic, panic!!!!!!!

more later

p.s. : its not as bad as i m making it out to be.........its WORSE!!!!!!!

sleepy weekend : day 1.......

I do need to get back to my steady state..........too much unexpected bad stuff happening.........but the thing is that I am not as affected by all that as i should have been...........have i finally turned cold-blooded? or is it actually not THAT bad? is moving in togethor actually the best way to prove that u r friends with someone??? i hate changing plans at the last moment, actually at any moment..........maybe thats one of the reasons why i hate making plans anywayz.........kush, cannt u please let go of it???........rakshit, abish and murtz.........i hate to have done this, seriously do, but i cannt help it........i just dont think that moving out to erindale is the best thing to do........maybe i m too lazy, or i know myself too well, but i know it won't work for me.........maybe its the wrong decision, but atleast let me take a decision for myself..........i know i wuldnt ever stop any of u guys from taking ur decisions.......i will definitely tell u it sucks if i think it does, but finally, i won't stand in ur way........and its not as if u r shifting out to kamchatka.......and even that wuldn't have been end of friendship.........

i actually dont feel like writing anymore.......but maybe i wont be able to write in for a while......exams starting in a week (whats that grin for??? i also study. seriously, I do.)......... so, here is a brief of everything which has happened since the last entry (when was that anywayz??? seems so long back..........must be all the things happening at the same time)

i woke up today and realized that i have finally got rid of my cold.......and i think i know where it went ;)

i had been planning to surprise someone since a couple of weeks now.........ended up getting surprised myself........definitely wasnt expecting getting caught in the rain.........cannt say it was a bad thing though........

now i know that i can sleep anywhere in any situation.......i m definitely sleep deprived........too many wrong assignments and hand-ins at the wrong time..........actually, i WAS sleep deprived.............cannt say that anymore. sleep cycle since yesterday night:

8:15 pm - 1:15 am : zzzzzzzzzz
(woke up and had "dinner")
1:45 am - 5:45 am : zzzzzzzzzz
(woke up, had breakfast, and studied!)
9:30 am - 2 am : zzzzzzzzzzzzz
(woke up, went to woolies, had lunch, and studied!)
6:30 pm - 8 pm : zzzzzzzzzzzzz
(woke up, had dinner, and now updating my blog)

i think thats about 15 hours.........just about right for an average sleep-deprived uni-going student.......saturday came along exactly when i needed it.........

just wondering aloud "WHEN WILL THERMO-FLUIDS GET DONE??" i think a better question might be "WHEN WILL I EVER GET THERMO-FLUIDS DONE??"

some serious advise: sydalg, if i were u, i might want to control the urges, and NOT eat that weird looking tomato-thing........i know its tough for u, but everything which resembles food, isnt always food........

alright, some more thoughts some days later..........though, a bit more realistically speaking, dont hold it agaisnt me if u come across an update tomorrow..........
~Aby

p.s.: Hey, i think i might have forgotton to mention in my last blog entry how adelaide is not a such a safe place........think twice before leaving ur stuff lying around........and definitely dont drop ur markers on the floor..........i know, this warning should have come long before, but anywayz........

latest......

2005-06-09T16:28:00.000+09:30

I dont think i can actually manage to live without people around me.........too much of a social person......... but sometimes, lonely corridors aren't that bad........same goes for elevators as well.............rah elevators cannt hold that many people anyways, before they start making me cloistrophobic...... i dont mind maybe one another person at the same time as me.; but thats about it...........and i really dont mind people not barging into my open room as well......... i guess everyone needs a bit of space...........not that i need much, or mind sharing my space with someone else...........

i was discussing with somone how we need more of extra-cute and extra-smart people in this world.........u know, there might be a perfect way of achieving that........

kush, i know that there are some times which are gr8 for playing chess, but there are some times when u just dont feel intellectual enough to play that game........ today was one of those days.........

NEWS:
1) gareth manages to avoid what could have been a deadly attack from an angry and vicious woman-tiger thingy.......

2) Aby, kush, robbie and rock dont get F for maths.........YAY!

3) Robbie G. finally gets his indian visa

4) nice people in adelaide seem to be losing their self-control

5) aby is not such a responsible person, but he does appreciate some people being responsible........

TO DO:
1) modules
2) thermo
3) maybe petrophysics........yeah rite!
4) rob's ticket
5) fix circuit

till later
~Aby

p.s.: i can already taste good food if i think about it really hard........mum, i m coming........

finally a house, maybe

2005-06-07T23:06:00.000+09:30

MAYBE erindale might work out after all.........a 4 bedroom place does have its advantages.......... even though it is miles away from anyone or anyplace decent :( but oh well, its atleast a really nice house..........and hopefully we'll get it............that will put a final end to all this house-hunting at last, that is, if we do manage to get it.........

nice sunny day today, not like one would expect in the middle of the aussie winter........swot vac is already turning out to be so good.......and its just like 2 days into it......

we have to meet the maths guy tomorrow, i wonder how that will work out......

i have got my snickers dose and my regular dose as well, so feeling really really good..........though slightly cold....... but thats all good, cold is alright sometimes.........

more later
~Aby

stuff.....

2005-06-06T22:36:00.000+09:30

1) ROBBIE got his hair sheared!!! he isnt even blonde any more o_O.....wait a sec......now i remember.......he did have brown hair before.......didnt he???

2) aby, kush, rock and robbie might be in deep trouble : more about this later

3) i have finally found the ultimate mood-elevating agent, an anti-depressant so potent that it actually works in all situations........dont worry, i havent started on drugs just yet

4) numb, desert rose and photobooth are the new assignment-songs........turn-me-on dosnt work any more.........the assignments are just toooo boring....

5) sydalg is one net-addict......she has been there, done that......i bet there is nothing on the net she hasnt seen before or tried out.......

6) everyone knows who is nicer........people who stuff their face arent the nicest people ;)

7) my cold is kinda gone, i just hope i didnt give it away to someone else.......

more later
~ Aby

p.s. : its getting harder and harder to let go these days..........i think i m getting hooked..........but it is definitely a nice feeling......

house hunting.......

2005-06-04T21:17:00.000+09:30

FEELING lonely all of a sudden.......not all of a sudden actually, the feeling has been coming and going since the last 3-4 days now........but i guess it will just go away after a while.......hopefully anywayz........the funny question is that where is this feeling coming from? nothing bad has happened......ofcourse there is the "house-anxiety" (a newly coined phrase referring to stress and anxiety assocIated with finding a good 3-bedroom fully-furnished house in adelaide)...........but it isnt that bad...... definitely not bad enough to cause "loneliness"....... could be the people around me though......i have this really irritating habit of sometimes falling into other people's mood......the thing is i dont know what it is.......and like i said before, i hope it goes away really quickly............

now the good part...........made potato-stuffed-roti today...........how good is that!! and they actually turned out pretty much alright.........brilliant for a first attempt.......what all innovative measures i have to take to come up with such stuff..........and met bren.........well, i had seen her before as well, but today, got to meet her.........pretty smart and funny girl (unlike sydalg), but kush is a bit pissed off at her.........he thinks he is pretty smart and mature, and looks much older than me.........so, any suggestions otherwise aren't welcome.........

more later
~Aby

ps: if u know of a good house meeting the following criteria:
1) 3-bedroom
2) in/near the city
3) fully-furnished
4) up for rent!

then contact me!!!! please......

i m not THAT bad........

2005-06-02T23:58:00.000+09:30

WOKE up so early yesterday morning; also realised that making sheets is not such a bad thing if someone elese does it for you........

woke up so late today morning; just wasnt inspired enough to make the effort......but got inspired in the evening to vaccum my room. Finally. Next up: setting the wardrobe in order..........

waking up early again tomorrow morning; so much to do.........so little time.........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

alright, thats enough about my sleep-cycle........met meeta online yesterday after sooooooo long.......apparantly, she couldnt get it that i was being nice for a change!! thats so rude!!! as if i havn't always been nice and angelic on most occasions.......ok, i take back the angelic bit........but definitely nice! i do remember a small incident involving hiding her glasses somewhere in the basketball court or something, but that isnt that bad, is it??? anywayz, meeta, it was a pleasant surprise meeting you, i hope next time isnt after 2 yrs again.......

rati, i hope u r having fun in states.......i cannt believe they actually approved ur visa though!! r u sure u sent ur own photograph?? ;)

i love it:

1) that my room is so warm even in this cold
2) that i have 2 weeks sorta off starting saturday
3) that i can finally use the landlines around me
4) monday is the last time i have to ever sit in suzie's lecture (that is if i dont flunk........oh god..........i so dont wanna flunk in suzie's course, any other course is alright, but not this, not this) 5) that school kids get random school-offs sometimes.......

i hate it:

1) that i have to go for suzie's tour tomorrow early morning
2) that i have a batch of assignments due next week
3) that i have 6 hrs of suzie's lectures this monday. 6 hrs!! lets see how many of us will actually make it.....
4) that uni-students dont get random uni-offs anytime.......

well, thats all for now.......see you in a while
~Aby

resolution for the week: stop annoying people.....

finally rejuvenated!!!

2005-05-31T23:00:00.000+09:30

FINALLY i m feeling like myself again; Yes, Aby is back........not that he left u guys stay in peace for too long anywayz........now i know what i had been missing, and what was making me:

1) depressed and depressing
2) stressed out
3) gloomy
4) annoyed

it was basically lack of sleep......just had to put in the hours i guess.........slept in from 3:30 pm till 8:30 pm.......feeling so rejuvenated!! all disturbances out of the window........and now, i m going to sleep in even more, from 11 something till 8 in the morning......... that wuld make it about 14 hrs. of sleep for today, 2 hrs. less than my target, but it'll make do i guess ;)

kush, i hope u know that u can be a real ******** sometimes; i still cannt believe u said what u said........ just had to tell u once, NOW i m not thinking about it

thats it, everything out of the system........

2 comparably-relaxed assignment-free weeks to go before the exams.....isnt it great to have a fortnight of vacation in the guise of swot vac??

cheers
~Aby

wrong side of the bed....

2005-05-30T19:52:00.000+09:30

YES, i know its not possible in my room, but i definiely got off the wrong side of my bed this morning.......how bad is this, I just about "finished" (more like got fed up) with kam's test prep around 11 yesterday night, decided to go to sleep.........as soon as i closed my eyes, remembered that there was thermo due next morning.......woke up, did ques.2, realized that ques.3 was incorrect, tore up all sheets, and did ques.3 again, then again and then once again, till i thought i got it right, and then, corrected it finally this morning....... arrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh......... ok, that was me letting all my frustrations out..........even though i while back they had all but gone away........kindof resurfaced when i had to go through all that stuff again with song and others.........but thats cool, more of my fault actually.........i was supposed to discuss it with him this morning, remembered when i got his call right AFTER handing in my assignment.........it was just that kind of day, when everything is so perfectly screwed up, that u cannt but admire ur fate.......k, that was a bit too extreme, nothing bad actually happened, 'cept for kam's test, which wasnt all that bad as well.........

anywayz, more later, rushing to woolies........

~Aby

p.s.: sydalg, sorry about the Pr thing, no more imaginative guesswork from my side.......

No more chess at four (for a while anywayz)

2005-05-28T21:27:00.000+09:30

"NEW" revelation: i suck at chess......there cann't be any other explanation for the beatings i got from song.....i think playing chess at 4 in the morning dosnt really suit me though, especially if i m doing the thermo stuff alongside; maybe a rematch in the afternoon or something might be in order; as if that wuld actually help :( ........i know, the excuse totally sucks, but its so hard to get attuned to this new feeling; i suppose everyone loses for the first time at everything some time or the other...... anywayz, i m seriously thinking 'bout getting coaching from tobias, starting next yr or something........so, song, better watch out....... but then, i have also been seriously thinking about cleaning my room one of these days for quite "some" time now o_O

headed to the gym in the afternoon, after a very long gap........fresh physical-threats forced me to.......i m definitely gonna put up a fight, so beware........u know who i m talking to......

study-study-study.......keep ur mind off things.......kam's is less than 37 hrs away......but, wait a sec, does that also mean that the weekend is gonna end pretty soon?? and i can probably sleep out 16 of the remaining hrs anywayz.........then, it will be monday.....followed by tuesday, then wednesday.....who designed this anywayz?? such a genius system.........5 weekdays and only 2 weekend-days......i still think its a wee bit slack though........what do u think of an hr of uni on saturday and one on sunday as well????

heading off for some food in a while........never realized how famished prod. eng. makes me feel.......

*feed me*
~Aby

I m busy with uni work (as well)

2005-05-28T00:57:00.000+09:30

BUSY, busy, busy!!! i have been so busy the past week, and still am, though its not such a bad feeling anymore.......but isnt it a bit exasperating when people "figure out" why u r busy?? called dr dipti today:

I: hi dipti, m going to india 2nd july....
DD: how come u have not come over since so long...
I: too busy, really really busy, all that uni-work and stuff
DD: uni work, or "Extracurricular work"??
I: what? o_O !! uni work, ofcourse........
DD: yeah right, as if i dont know what u r upto........

i could totally see the smirk on her face even on the phone line; people, i can study as well.........really i can; infact i have to.........sometimes i do get heaps of uni work, assignments and tests and everything..........and then i HAVE to do it as well.......so, i can get busy with uni-work........seriously, i can..........

Liz, wishing a very Happy B'day to u. I hope this yr is not as boring for u as the last one was ;) nz cannt be all that bad...........if ur luck holds up, u might even get to see me sometime in the near future ;) though i must admit, the possibility sounds a bit bleak right now.........

HAPPY 21st Liz

Saying something "stupid"

2005-05-24T21:39:00.000+09:30

WHEN i was a kid, i had this really stupid habit of saying some things at the most inopportune moments.........things which were mostly true, but better left unsaid..........causing embarrassment to myself and people around me.........well, the habit definitely hasn't left me..........but its all good i guess.........now that i think of it, its not that bad to speak ur mind at most occasions........and i think i need to stop being too judgemental for a while.........

i think all my deprived sleep is finally catching up with me........went to sleep in a bus again........had started 15 mins late anywayz <- not that i m complaining ;) so, sat in the bus...........was supposed to get off at stop 33, the bus driver woke me up when the bus had reached 33E or something.........miles away from anywhere!!...........so, the kid i was supposed to tutor at 5:30 got to see me only at 6:20.........howz that for punctuality?? anywayz, i dont think 5-10 mins here-there wuld make much of a difference to him ;)........... i have decided to set an alarm in my phone from now onwards just in case this happens again.........

wont it have been so much better if i was actually doing health sciences instead of engg.?? actually, on second thoughts, not really! anyone can pretend to be a doctor.......just poke around a bit..........give ur inference........no big deal........i m sure i can do that as well.........anywayz, dissections make me squirm..........

more later........
~Aby

Notes-to-self:

1) stop thinking 'bout it.......whats said is said........its alright..........its all good.........wait a sec, is it actually all good?? o_O ........ok, dont start again........its alright.........its all good.....

2) get more sleep in ur own room.....atleast stop sleeping in buses.........

3) learn to drink milk, coke, etc. etc. without spilling

4) get more apples..........

Congrats Sis

2005-05-23T21:34:00.000+09:30

NIDS, thats the way to go!!! awesome result........though, not that unexpected again.........and i used to think that my english is gr8............97 ?? u gotta be kidding!! Congratulations!!

How good are the soft-serves with flakes.......i just cannt seem to keep one away from myself.......kush and sydalg, u r really really spoiling me..........i m not meant to have that many........but then, who cares.........its not as if i have more than 2 everyday...........

ever had that good feeling when assignments take less time to do than what u initially thought........fluids got over in like 15 mins. today, giving me time to make a visit to the opposite side of town, have a proper meal, and update my blog........thnx to sydalg, and song <- for his noobian humour o_O, which provides the perfect relaxed atmosphere for "study"........

Happy B'day Nikki! u r finally 18! so, when r we trying our luck at church again?? The only person happier than u right now has to be abish ;)

kolkata, get ready.........
~Aby

p.s.: stuff to do for this week if i get the time->
* elec
* prod
* thermo
* more elec
* more prod

99 C(ircles) & Saving Wednesday

2005-05-19T22:15:00.000+09:30

I was so tired yesterday evening..........must be all the workout i keep on getting these days, gym and stuff...........anywayz, went to drop a friend off, took this bus which takes a city loop.........and then i just dropped off to sleep in the bus........i have no clue how many loops of the city i must have taken, before winally waking up a mile away from my place...........and then i just walked back.........ever heard of anyone doing this before?? i dont know why, but accidentss like this always keep on happening around me..........

seems like our profs. are having a competetion these days, as to who can bore us more.........couldn't stand more than hlf. hr of antonio's lecture today......and yes, i was hungry as well - chips with gravy rock; even though u might have to share sometimes :( ........suzie went a step forward though.........took us all to this microscope place, to listen to some talks given by people who love their microscopic spectroscopy (yes, such people do exist, though only in secret labs, hidden inside uni campuses worldwide).............the talks were so boring, that i actually noticed sydalg dozing off leaning on to a wall.........and she was standing!! and in the next talk, she was sleeping again..........though, i must admit, it wasnt entirely her fault........this can be expected from any normal sleep-deprived uni student..............

anywayz, the evening more than made up for it........discovered Chocolate Bean, and kam in a narrow side-path........now, its time for risk with kush, rock, abish and crush........

good news:
1) wednesday isnt wasted (kush, better watch what u ask for, grrrrrrrrr).........
2) i get to sleep in tomorrow; but, on second thoughts, hopefully, i dont get to sleep in tomorrow.........

notes-to-self:
1) check out the working relationship between two neuron-clusters and one pulse-generator..........
2) clean room again..........

alright then, more scribble later....
~Aby

p.s.: if u have a problem with my, kush's or rock's work's originality, meet one of us behind the building for a "talk".........consider urself warned.......

My Name!

2005-05-17T21:26:00.000+09:30

PARENTS shifting to new house on 21st..........i hope everything is going well, and i really-really wish that i culd be there right now............i m totally looking forward to the home-trip.

came across this name thing on sydalg's blog (who stole it from kit's blog) ........ according to this, names influence character and have a definite bearing upon one's life path. This analysis of my name is "a brief summary of the hidden meanings found within the letters of my name"........the website providing this "highly reliable" inference is Zodiacal Zephyr .............. and here is what my name means:

(NOTE : all the positive stuff they found is so true!! i have underlined the stuff which i think is totally incorrect, if u think otherwise, feel free to comment)

Abhishek:
You are adventurous with a tendency to be foolhardy. You are aggressive and definitely have leadership abilities. You are a constructive thinker. You have a need for monetary security. You work hard to achieve material success through your own efforts. You are relatively demonstrative in your affections. You enjoy being stroked verbally and physically. You try to be prudent. You have good business acumen. You need to learn the true value of material possessions. You have a natural protection in life. You are always saved - especially from yourself. You can be quite inventive and quite curious. You have good recuperative abilities. You are determined.

Rajora:
You make impersonal decisions quickly, but not so with personal concerns. You like to think things over carefully, but tend to be indecisive. You have a need to be up front. You conduct yourself in a fair and just manner. You enjoy watching or participating in sports. You have a great deal of loyalty to those you love. You have much inner strength. "You have a lack of confidence in your mental abilities"<-(this is so untrue; if anything, i m guilty of "slight" overconfidence on most occasions) and do not like being forced into giving your opinion. You have a need to be up front.

apart from this, kush, i m sorry man, i was just being a real ****head.....

And,

1) christen seems to be getting better at maths.......
2) sausages and soup taste sooooo good when its cold outside.....
3) 20 mins is a lot of time; but then, 3 hrs isnt long enough as well........
4) jealousy seems to be becoming rampant in adelaide ;)

thats all for now....
~Aby

p.s.: i was just wondering, if my parents had named me a bit differently, maybe Abyshek instead of Abhishek, wuld i be all that different??

Abyshek
You are adventurous with a tendency to be foolhardy. You are aggressive and definitely have leadership abilities. You are a constructive thinker. You have a need for monetary security. Your independence and freedom are important to you. You try to be prudent. You have good business acumen. You work hard to achieve material success through your own efforts. You can be quite inventive and quite curious. You have good recuperative abilities. You are determined.

this means that my liking for being stroked wuld have disappeared.....i guess Abhishek was a good choice then ;) thanks mum & dad...........

Food!!!

2005-05-16T18:43:00.000+09:30

HOW does one feel after feeding a small army?? Great!!! especially if the food is well appreciated ;) ...........robbie, rock, crush and kush were invited over for the "leftovers" which were actually much more than what we had for lunch......ofcourse they polished off everything.......including the utensils.......that was the main reason for which i had invited them over anywayz, to clean up all the utensils ;) ......sent some over for abish as well.........

i think i m gonna start a recipe blog pretty soon.....never knew i could cook up mushrooms and chocolate cake (separately, ofcourse) .........shouldn't be writing so much about food, feeling hungry again.......

some of the things i m realizing these days.........
0) someone is a pig; a small & nice pig ;)
1) yogi & rui are nice people :)
2) someone else isnt a friend any more :(
3) its hard to just stand, doing nothing on busstops any more ;)
4) sometimes, buses turn up on time :(
5) one must "go" before leaving rah :s

thats about it, getting down to doing the defs assignment.......talking about maths, somebody's gonna get a hurt real bad.........stop this calculus pay-out, NOW!!

so, sydalg, did u manage to finish the matlab thing at uni? can i pls. have it tomorrow if u r done???

cheerio
~Aby

Dont u hate rainy weekends after sunny weekdays?

2005-05-14T18:42:00.000+09:30

RAINY and gloomy; the day kinda suits me today........i think have suddenly started hating weekends........hate is not the right word though.......its more to do with the fact that i have started loving weekdays more ;)

.......me and kush went to check out this newly-discovered indian place, like a zillion millions away, on west terrace..........walking in the rain.........met rock and crush coming out of central market and took them along as well..........and guess what? the place dosnt open for lunch........open only at 5 pm, damn!! by that time me and kush were so famished, we culd have eaten a whole cow, not kush though, with his "beliefs".........anywayz, headed back to the food court in central mkt, and were pleasantly surprised; one of the chinese food stalls there actually had "dal", "veg. curry" and LASSI!! seriously, they had lassi in a chinese stall!! kush culdn't help grinning when he couldn't find any meat in his veg. curry (he definitely was a "bit" suspicious of the food).........i think the chinese girl in the shop is going to be his new best friend or something ;)

........anywayz, back to prod. eng (read: lemme start prod. eng.!)

Au revoir
Aby

Changes...

2005-05-13T22:31:00.000+09:30

LIFE has the tendency to become a bit mundane if u move around in only one particular circle, doing the same things over & over, however interesting and good ur circle might be........dosnt mean that change is the only thing u require, good +ve change is more like it.........

Thought for the day: green apples rock, and sometimes bad hair days are good days.....

Lessons for the day:
1) stop grinning at other people's dyscomfort....
2) dorkish siblings might lend u into trouble....

some people cannt seem to come up with any good ideas about what to do in their spare time.......well, i get such great ideas ;) ......and then some people try to make u believe that it was their idea!!! if u r one of such people, u get to decide next time, how good is that?........anywayz, had a really really good workout today........headed to the gym in the eve. with rock.......btw, joanne is getting a bit annoying, but she is alright i guess; just cannt help herself......

.........now for some dinner, even though i have been eating stuff all day......
~Aby

Note to self: ok, thats it, no more slacking> clean room today!

Cannt wait for tomorrow...

2005-05-12T22:02:00.000+09:30

BUSY-busy day.......i luv thursdays though; 3 hrs of suzanne is just soooo good....finally ended up deciding that studying elec. eng. in the afternoon might be a good idea......

met sydalg's two really close friends as well, diane and christie (i hope i got the names right!).....really nice people; i wonder why !dys was paranoid about me meeting them........anywayz, they look so much like twins, i wonder if they are somehow related........

also discovered a note-to-self in my room.......said: "MFESYSTE - April 12". It is in my writing, i kinda feel it might be an important note, but i have no clue at all what it means.......and anywayz, April 12 is long gone, so dosnt really make much of a difference........(atleast hopefully!)

cannt wait for tomorrow............

~more later

Aby

I'll see you tomorrow....

2005-05-11T22:35:00.000+09:30

SORRY bout the 2 days break........but, Hey!! this is MY blog.....so i can take a week off if i want.......nah, dont worry, i wont deny u addicts for so long.... ;) ........some happy news, this blog is officially listed on Google.com now.......YESSSSS!!.....just go and search for "abysblog".........why u wuld wanna do that, i have no idea........

apart from that, busy start to this week........

1) submitted due assignments.........will they ever get over :(
2) attempted to watch kingdom of heaven....but i m not complaining ;)
3) helped the uni break the mexican shot record........hopefully :)
4) thought bout cleaning my room
5) attended all classes, infact one extra as well, which i didnt need to....how good is that??
6) asked stupid questions; got good answers......
7) someone stole my band.....i wish i could have that back right now
8) shocked suzanne....cannt believe i missed her expression though!!

now a list of some random good and bad things that i came across in the past few days:

Good (not in order):

1) mackers soft serve.....yummm
2) pantene!
3) shocking suzanne; yes, i know i said that before, but it feels so good ;)
4) nutty-witty perfectly-fitting jigsaw bits

Bad (not necessarily in order):

1) !tlie......
2) weird sleepy-staring people in buses.....
3) disappearance of hoodies

also visited ash's house in the evening today; nice place, but too far from the city....... cannt picture myself coming to city everyday by travelling half hr in a bus..... anyways rah has suddenly started looking so advantageous and comfortable; close to the uni and everything........

before i forget, sydalg, what bout a rematch???

...........as for me, i have been so busy lately, i simply cannt believe it.......cannt spend anytime alone even with myself (not that i m complaining, no way!), but yes, i have certainly become just a "bit" busier.........studies and stuff.........but, i still managed to take a really long shower today.........so relaxing........needed it for my frayed nerves ;)........so much stuff to do:

(1) clean room....

(2) do assignments.....

(3) actually revise elec eng.....

(4) my room is getting so hot even though its getting cooler in adelaide, i think i need to get another fan or something..........must be all the fridges next door.............

.......k then, kam's assignment calling; more later.........

~Aby (feeling strangely calm and contented; nothing can bring aby down right now, definitely not extended periods of silence!)

An apple a day dosn't help ur racing skills :(

2005-05-07T11:00:00.000+09:30

Note: no more summaries from now on, I realized that everyone reads the whole post anywayz......

THOUGHT I had warned people to stop paying me out about apples & extra.......but its like water off duck's back.........yesterday in elec eng:

kush : how many apples do u have in ur bag?

I : one, why?

rock : oh, i dont believe u, i wanna check!

I : i just said one... o_O ...wats so unbelievable??

kush/rock : no, there have to be atleast 2, we will check.

I : k, i brought 2, but i was feeling so hungry on the way, i ate 1 of them, so now there is 1 left..

rock : k, give me this one....

I : awlrite, have it, if u actually want it....

rock : nah, u can keep it......

robbie : is that an apple? (grabs it and finishes it in like 3 bites).....Thanks Aby.......

I : no, robbie, thankyou...........

.........anywayz, got my modules checked even though they were supposed to be individual reports and robbie and i had made one togethor.......submitted the thermo assignment as well....answers match with everyone else's answers, YES!!.........

...........cold lychee bubble tea with milk with jelly rocks!! cannt say the same about hot calpice w'out milk and with pearls though........

........now the sad part of yesterday eve......after beating sydalg in car-racing (YESSSS!), i took the wrong decision.......accepted her challenge for a rematch; yes i know, i can be stupid sometimes, but i was feeling sooo confident :( ...........but i know she cheated!! dont ask how, but she did.......nothing else can explain her winning......she rammed into my car all the time, sending me into orbit on more than one occasions (k, that makes me sound like such a bad loser, i m wondering if i should backspace now.......)........but never m i ever driving on the same road as her.........had to actually tell her that she rocks......how sad is that (kinda true actually coz she managed to beat me, but still.....).........i just thought of another excuse; my hands were too cold, i couldnt steer properly.........

..........anywayz, more later, need to study some logic gates.

---practicing my driving skills.........

~Aby ;)

p.s.: i have no clue how the bus time-table in adelaide works, but how great is this that a bus comes along exactly when u actually want it to come.......how impressive is that??

belated B'DAY & Pub-Crawl

2005-05-05T23:15:00.000+09:30

Summary: b'day wishes for masi..........pub-crawl...........drunk poem.........stuff.........extra & apples.........

THE FULL STORY

FIRST of all a message to suman masi, who i dont think is gonna come across this blog........masi i m so so sorry...............cannt even get into the details of how ashamed i feel..........u do realize, dont u, that i totally love u, and i have been missing u soooooooooo much.............anywayz, i know its a tad late but, HAPPY B'DAY..........nids, could u tell her that i did remember, only a tad late :(

everyone seems geared-up for the upcoming pub crawl........for the uninitiated (read sis), a pub-crawl is an event in which the participants visit 5-6 pubs, drink huge amounts of alcohol at each of them (and thus, get a "bit" drunk), and then crawl back to their respective homes (hopefully to their own homes, but then thats another story)..........HEAPS FUN!!......seems like everyone i know is turning up, or are being forced to turn up..........kush is going as well, might get a bit paid out about his coke addiction though ;) ........here is this poem i came across, its written by some anonymous drunk guy (as if a sober poet will write such @#$&):

Starkle, starkle, little twink,

Who the hell are you I think.

I'm not under what you call

The alcofluence of incohol.

I'm just a little slort of sheep,

I'm not drunk like thinkle peep.

I don't know who is me yet,

But the drunker I stand here the longer I get.

So just give me one more fink to drill my cup,

'Cause I got all day sober to Saturday up.

.....apart from this, went to the gym today..........thermo assignment due tomorrow........almost done with that......fluids due tuseday, havnt started with that yet........i hope waqt is a nice movie.........i hope the weather becomes sunny again ;)...........and i also hope that everyone is having as great a time as i m having........everything seems to be going so smoothly.......life is gud.... (X : crossed fingers)........only one thing; kush & rock, u better stop paying me out about extra and apples, i actually like them myself as well...........i know u guys r "good" friends, and this is what friends are for, but still............

thats all for now.......

~Aby

(i seem to be getting kush's affliction........i just hope my cheek muscles dont start paining as well, thats what smily complains of all the time)

Maths and curry go well togethor....

2005-05-04T22:15:00.000+09:30

NOTE: this is like a new addition to the blog..........from now on, i m gonna write this summary sort of thing at the beginning of each post, so that if u dont have enough time, u can just breeze through the summary...........

Summary: nice happy day....travelled to laze....travelled.......helped someone with maths......had awesome curry......travelled.........forgot to mention, attended classes!

THE FULL STORY

AM i regular with my blog or what?? back again with another post of d.r.i.v.e.l............ normal uni day today.......i luv wednesdays though, classes from 9 to 11 only; but that dosnt mean less work, no way!.......so many assignments due and stuff to revise (uni friends, better keep shut.......)........btw, lots of travelling today.....caught 1 bus, then a tram, then 2 buses, then another, then one more, and finally, one more after that............thats like 1 tram ride, and 6 bus rides in all........its gud that i know how to use the multitrip ticket; dont worry kush, i'll teach u one of these days............

............rock missed both lectures today as well, must have been for some good reason i guess........and so did kush, coz he was sleeping; thats a good enough reason for me ;)........but suddenly, my attendance % is rising above kush's and rock's.......need to do something fast............

thermo due friday......kush has done q2, teeevil has taken care of q1.......just hoping that sydalg can figure out q3, that wuld make life so much easier.........contact me when u r done with it......i dunno from where kush got this msn id, but its so ........i m lost for words, its just so............, anywayz, just decide for urself; quoting kush "i was born intelligent, education ruined me....."

.....went to the other side of town to tutor this 10th grader in maths (sat in the wrong bus thnx to !dys, but realized my folly in time, changed to the right one, 112!)........and was invited for dinner too! how nice is that.......never knew that aussies could make curry as well......the kid's mum wanted to try out her curry on an indian i guess ;) ........and it was absolutely rockin'.......9.9/10............(10 is for mum and masies)

alright then, big day tomorrow, gtg, more later..........

~Aby (happy, but suddenly realizing that i have 3 hrs. of suzie's prac tomorrow >groan< )

p.s.: negative comments about, uhhumm, the background, wont be read...............

happy :)) & SLEEPY

2005-05-03T20:30:00.000+09:30

FIRST of all, if u know jim, i wuld suggest that u say ur gudbyes to him right now, he has made quite a few enemies in the past few days
....the maths assignment took ages, and i think (and i hope as well) that one question was actually wrong; now, how stupid is that?! ........anywayz, ended up sleeping at 5:3o in the morning, woke up at 9............thats like 3 hrs, of sleep! ok, 3.5; as if that half hr. makes much of a difference..............managed to stay awake in all the classes though ( !dys, i know u have that pic, but i m sure we can reach some common understanding...........)

amazingly, rock didnt turn up for a single lecture today.........thats so anti-rock....and kush also missed two.......have robbie and i suddenly become diligent or what?...........and then gym in the evening,....... 'course rock was there as well......i cannt remember when he last missed one of his daily sessions...........

planning to sleep now........if u have read this post, and still decide to call me up anytime in the next 12 hrs, u r SO gonna regret it.......

~Aby

p.s.: Note to myself -> as soon as uni gets over for the day, get rid of ur bag, just keep it somewhere,.... anywhere .........

Weekend capers.....

2005-05-02T21:30:00.000+09:30

FINALLY finished the elec engg. modules on Sunday (new readers: i had started on Saturday)........ culd have probably done it in like 2 hrs. on saturday, but then, not much study happens when we all meet in Lincoln.......robbie had a halo competetion on sunday, so he decided to practice on me on saturday, and totally caned me.......3 vs 15 kills was the best i managed against his team; this guy is a freak......came second or something in the competetion individually-------------- congrats Robbie.......

there are some days when u r really happy because of no apparant reason.....and i mean really really happy.........well sunday was that day.....i was just glad, dunno why.....but it was good.....today was another story......got off on the wrong side of the bed apparantly, and didnt get much sleep.........6 hrs just isnt enough.........slept through my classes, dozed through suzie's twin lectures.......and then went back home and slept some more.....i was inexplicably irked off throughout the day...........felt much better in the evening, and i m feeling extremely happy again.........cannt pinpoint the reason, but it could be YOU ;)

things have been happening back home as well; sis is giving a uni interview -> best of luck nids, dont actually think u need the luck, but anywayz......if u think u r getting into trouble, just tell them who u r related to, awlrite............

....apart from that i almost freaked out yesterday.......i was talking with this friend from home, and i was telling her my plans for the eve., u know, pizza and maybe a movie or something, and she started telling me about her parents' plans to get her married!!!...didnt tell her then, but it freaked me out! i m thinking, WHOAAAA, has my generation grown up or what??? here i m with friends trying to figure out maths or something, and some of my friends back home are trying to figure out marriage plans o_O !!!!! best of luck anywayz, if u come across this........

k, getting back to the maths assignment :( , its due tomorrow :( :( :( .........more later

p.s. : if u r brenda, aren't u one li'l miss busybody ?? ;)

My Irish Name!!

2005-04-30T13:53:00.000+09:30

JUST happened to find out my Irish name......definitely sounds more exciting than just "Aby"....

My Irish Name Is...

Niall O'Farrell

What's your Irish Name?

alright, so u all are being warned! For today, Aby is Niall O'Farrell, and might not respond to other names...........and right now, Niall is heading down to Lincoln to meet the Others and finish up the elec-eng modules.....such a waste of a beautiful saturday..........

- Niall O'Farrell

ps: just gave this personality test as well....i know this might sound a bit vain, but i LOVE giving such tests, just to see if they can tell what i m really like, just by asking a few (and mostly nonsensical) questions. anyways, according to this website, which thinks it knows it all, these are my true colours:

Your #1 Match: ENFP

The Inspirer
You love being around people, and you are deeply committed to your friends.You are also unconventional, irreverant, and unimpressed by authority and rules.Incredibly perceptive, you can usually sense if someone has hidden motives.You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!
You would make an excellent entrepreneur, politician, or journalist.

What's" Your Personality Type?

.........a politician??!! does someone know a good lawyer who specializes in sueing stupid websites??

Just another day.....

2005-04-29T20:40:00.000+09:30

WATCHED Ring 2 yesterday. My view -> dont watch Ring 2.

Reasons ->

(a) If u hav watched the original Ring, u'll be very disappointed with this movie

(b) If u havnt watched the original Ring, u wont understand whats happening on the screen

So, dont watch Ring 2............its alrite, but i m sure u have better things to do......apart from that, i must hav listened to the summer rain remix bout 5 times today; i think rock might be goin crazy over it, its perpetually ALWAYS on in his room......but i dont really mind; its a good song, and he dosnt care if i start dancing whenever i go to chit-chat.......and its definitely better than the hindi "romantic" old songs which kush always puts on.......went to the gym again today with rock, and now i m beginning to realise why so many people i know are afraid of joining it........i m contempelating a "break" already........all my "muscles" think it might be a good idea......but, the competetion is kinda hotting up with teeevil and sydalg giving gym-joining some serious consideration......lets see what happens..........

.......................also shopped with kush for his shoes today, and he is one picky guy.....but then, i remembered the headaches my mum gets when she takes me shopping for my shoes........

k then, gotta hav a shower and dinner now, crush coming over as well for a movie.......

Eye candy -> Sore Muscles

2005-04-28T20:36:00.001+09:30

TIRED and drained, aby struggles on the keyboard, pressing one key at a time, too knackered to move more than one finger.................if you havn't realised till now, someone went to the gym today.........nice place, the uni gym, but things get a bit competetive there whenever some nice people turn up.........(eye candy = sore muscles)........about to go to lincoln now; me, abish, kush & rock are finally going to watch ring 2...........hopefully i wont be too scared to post tomorrow......
sydalg and teevil are planning to join the gym......dont tell me that u didnt get the joke........

Return of the Slacker

2005-04-27T20:30:00.000+09:30

KOOL, so i m back with the much awaited second chapter of my travails around this lonely desolate planet.....k, i know i have been reading too much science fiction when i start off with talks about my travails around lonely desolate planets.......

i finally ended up getting my hair cut today...not too bad.....thought briefly about going to hair-force next week, but nah, i guess i'll screw that for now........thnx Sydalg, the guinea pig is impressed.

finally finished with geo as well....aaaaarrrrrrrrrgh.......is it bad and boring, or is it boring and bad?? right now i m thinking whether finishing the geo assignment is good enough excuse to miss gym today or not.........rock has ofcourse already left for the gym....he is one dedicated guy..........ah well, there is always tomorrow...........

another thing, just to remind myself, i need to stop having pizzas with extra chilli on them; I cannt make out the difference between chilli and no-chilli anywayz, and its probably killing my tastebuds at the same time.

Aby

Slacker's first blog!

2005-04-26T21:37:00.000+09:30

YES, i have finally jumped onto the bloggin' wagon........finally decided that i have become too slack and lazy even for myself, and there are just too many inspiring and hard-working people around me (Sydalg, kush, rock to name a few).......so, this is my new activity (lets see till when it holds out against more interesting things, like sleeping..........already feeling kinda sleepy.......9:21 pm is just toooooo late for decent folks like me)

and, sydalg, u better join the gym soon, before i start nagging u......u have already started me blogging.........and i AM worried about my haircut now, after reading ur thoughts.......BE NICE.

blogging seems to be fun already, kush and rock think i m working on some assignment right now, so they are formatting and editing MY geo. assignment as well.....FRIENDS! k, now i have to go, kush suspects something, ALT+TABbing to my uni webmail..........more later.............

Aby
