Butterflies within! :)
Awrite this is confusing.. i got two three cool guys preparing the questions for two mega programming events and they're the judges for those two events! damn did you read that all too well?? This is sick man.. this is insane in a way that puts greed in my heart 
Munir Usman is handling things in Procom's speed programming competition and Noman Shaukat and Sarfaraz Soomro are handling the same stuff at TechElite.. these days I'm trying my best to send as many gifts to all three as possible!
Ah well, its nothing like that.. i am such a good boy i even rejected 50:50 and 60:40 offers! (No! that's just a joke you bottle of coke). Well, this is tricky.. we had this programming competition held in our uni where the best of KIET were competing. I came at the top luckily 
having solved 3 out of 5 questions in that 90 minutes competition. But getting the first spot within KIET was no big deal to be honest. I think Procom and TechElite are gonna be real testers for sure.. where you have to control the amount of sweat you get... that basically means the amount of pressure you are able to handle silly!
Ah well.. peace 
‘Tears And Rain’ by James Blunt
My brother Tariq (whose beginning to become a serious web design guru) has made his own site. Wish you all the best bro! I like.. no.. i LOVE the introduction at your site! And he had a play list on his site where I saw this James Blunt song titled 'Tears and Rain'. I kinda liked it a lot!
How I wish I could surrender my soul;
Shed the clothes that become my skin;
See the liar that burns within my needing.
How I wish I'd chosen darkness from cold.
How I wish I had screamed out loud,
Instead I've found no meaning.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
How I wish I could walk through the doors of my mind;
Hold memory close at hand,
Help me understand the years.
How I wish I could choose between Heaven and Hell.
How I wish I would save my soul.
I'm so cold from fear.
I guess it's time I run far, far away; find comfort in pain,
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
Hides my true shape, like Dorian Gray.
I've heard what they say, but I'm not here for trouble.
Far, far away; find comfort in pain.
All pleasure's the same: it just keeps me from trouble.
It's more than just words: it's just tears and rain.
From technical brilliance to half filled jokes
I've been writing a lot about things not techy enough to have that balance between what I do most of the time and what I want to do most of the time. I often find it challenging to pass my third-rate programming skills to this blog and come up with things the search engines love.
For instance, the posts which I made regarding my OBJ Loader and other similar posts, I am able to get a lot of hits on them. People search for these things and they come over and find something useful. I, on the other hand prefer writing my own stuff which has far less significance to anyone else (if at all).
I've been in the middle of some really useful drafts that are related to software development. I'm thinking of thinking about coming up with more of such tech-filled curry so that my friends (or anyone) coming in from Google or other search engines are able to find what they're looking for.
After all, it feels so much better to help somebody than to type all the non-sense you have to fill your blog up. Plus, I'm so kinda occupied in other things that I usually want to spend most of my time in useful things. I personally think that I read blogs of other people more for availing something valuable than their personal "rants". Anyways, that's just a way to feel better for everybody, it depends on personal taste of what makes them feel better.
Saturday Evenings!
Have I not mentioned before that they're lovely! I had a nice few hours of evening time. Sarfoo and Noman came to me in the evening and we had a nice discussion. We plan to meet today at GoAish (yes! that ultimate adventure park . I met Noman after so many days and it was a pleasure to see him. He is a potential judge in the TechElite programming competition to be held in NED so I have good chances of winning It's the very first time I am going to GoAish so let's hope for the best!
Later on, me and Ali thought to have cold coffee so we met and had it. After that we went to Dolmen Mall and got stuck in traffic =S it was so painful that I better not speak up here. Anyways, we luckily found a good spot for Parking. Went in, then to Radio City, I got a couple of DVDs and then we headed to Liberty books. There I purchased Aisha Siddiqa's Military Inc. I had forgotten my debit card at home so I had to ask Ali to pay for the book and I'll pay him back the next time we meet.
Annywayz, ciao!
Hope
I do know I'm weak
but i hope to be stronger
my lifeline's uncertain
but i hope to live longer
mesmerized by my dreams
wishing to try so hard
hope keeps me alive
makes me walk that extra yard
if life's a pain
then hope's there to heal
there's a magical feeling
you just can't conceal
i've tasted excitement
then there are times so blue
but in my heart i have hope
that will get me through
DigitalEyez Experience
Old memories brought back when I visited FAST NU Karachi Campus today. The memories were incidently of FAST NU's Lahore Campus, which is built (almost) exactly like the one in Karachi. It was DigitalEyez - the event people of creative flare were looking forward to. I went in quite late, and I saw a welcoming group of people over there. I was with my friend Sarfaraz and we were treated like special guests which was surprising. BTW this 'special' is not the one you may end up thinking about. Faisal Abidi, who was the participant and guest relations executive showed us around. I'm almsot certain he took us as if we are from press or CIA, or he was damn too generous in helping us have a nice experience. Anyways, the good thing was, we were happy! We settled into the auditorium for the short movies, and some of them were really well made, and different. I liked how the audience enjoyed.
Since we were late, we only discovered the web design competition lab with judges trying to figure out what design to choose as the winner.
Afterwards Sarfoo had to have his camera looked after by the Sony service centre people, so we left just before the prize distribution ceremony over there.
I feel bad that I was not able to participate in the web design competition, but anyways, it must be better, that is why God disabled me from taking part in the competition.
I noticed that Procom is coming, so I'll have to try and find time to sharpen my algorithm skills, just in case I decide to dive into Procom. Strangely enough, this time its Procom.net instead of Procom, and that .net is for what? I don't know. That's not a domain name or anything, its just a name. I know Microsoft has .net but looking at what Procom offers, I am still confused what that additional ".net" is doing in there now.
Anyways, cheerz!
Aitebar
Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga
Milo to sahee
Raasta koyee milhee jayey ga
Chalo to sahee, chalo to sahee
Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga
Dhoop mein khara jalraha houn mein
Saaya do mujhey
Yeh mera junoon Yeh meri jalan
Hai meri saza
Meri yeh thakan
Kherahee hai kya
Suno to sahee, suno to sahee
Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga
Kya huwa agar zindagi
Zara ulajh si gayi
Socho to zara,
Jungulon mein bhee raastey to hain
Humey bhee koyee milhee jayey ga
Chalo to sahee, chalo to sahee
Pyar vyar bhee hohee jayey ga
Milo to sahee raasta koyee milhee jayey ga
Chalo to sahee, chalo to sahee
Aitebar bhee aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga
Aahee jayey ga, aahee jayey ga
American Gangster
Wow! Another stunning movie to my list! Man I can't say enough how good this movie looked to me in the end. I loved it. Ridley Scott did it again. I have been lucky enough to see some really good movies lately. There are only two things that I can talk about these days Work and Movies.. work is boring, so I'd prefer sticking to movies
Two of my most favorite actors (you can see above) have worked with excellent balance and they did great justice to their characters. I have seen Shawshank Redemption in the last couple of days and I am a fan of that movie too! I wonder how I missed such a fantastic movie! Anyways, all things happen at the right time I guess
I’m alive!
I just noticed I have become quite slow when it comes to blogging, I'm less frequent on coming up with posts. Maybe it's just me who feels like it or it its a fact, anyways, I think it's just that a few other things have caught more of my attention.
I went to Radio City yesterday with Sarfoo, bought 3 DVDs: American Gangster, Ratatouille (ra-ta-tui) and Shawshank Redemption. Seen just the ra-ta-tui so far, and enjoyed it thoroughly Pixar rocks!
Today will find time to watch another one of the remaining two. On the other hand, I am feelin lucky these days say mashaAllah you rude visitor
Looking at the title of my post, I recalled a really good song 'I'm alive' by Celine Dion, so I youtubed and found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pw4Nn99vlU .
Be happy!
Cheers,
Kami
