The Curse goes Captain... and breaks the jinx

So Salman Butt (who I've mentioned before, quite fondly as a curse)'s our latest cricket capt. (after Shoaib Malik got ditched for Y. Khan who got backstabbed by M. Yousaf.... who got backstabbed by Shahid Afridi.... who got backstabbed by Salman Butt).

Ok..I'm not going to have a say on his being skipper.Yet.

I liked the way he talked at the end, his words were well chosen. He spoke well.

But how does he tick as a capt..?

Mom Yipeee!! We Won!! I'm not cursed anymore!... Say What!!?? Our cat broke my fav mug, littered my room, then died by licking clean all my hair gel jars and fairness cream tubes. Oh.... 

We.shall.see.

Fatty acid to you too sir!

View seen since med started... 

:S :s :S

Ok... my brain is seriously on a merry go round in my skull...

Can't think straight... this biochem is killin me!!

Lipids are a nightmare...

And from what I can tell, with my brain practicing pool-dives in my CSF...not to mention skiing on its pons and having a go at knitting by using its cranial nerves as wool... its not hard to guess...

My brain has gone on a holiday....

Phospholipid-what-nots and cholesterol-crunch bites are the chaps still left... and it's NOW that my brain wants a tan... typical!!!!!!

Amused Medic's journey: There and Back Again

SAIF UL MULUK- THE LAND OF FAIRIES

Hey I'm back in lahore, back in civilisation...
The week's journey was a completely unforgettable experience, something I'll remember n cherish for a long long time.

People who haven't visited our northern places are seriously missing aaaaalot.
It's said that Jis nai lahore daika nai o jumya nai (I know.. ellloelll! :P). But I think if you haven't once- in your over-busy, over-burdened and surely over-boring life, taken in the freshness of the air in Naraan, had a calm moment with yourself at the edge of Saif-ul-Muluk, chatted a bit with the simple yet strong people of the north, had a cup of tea on a charpaii with your toes dipped in the cold, crystal clear Kanhar River... I believe you have yet to er... jum.

We went to Abotabad, Balakot, Naraan and then back, stopping at Muree on the way home. Lalazar n Saif ul Muluk were visited during our stay at Naraan. Details will be given... but right now I'm tied between writing a class diary and figuring out the difference between acetate and acetyl (mega lipid test coming... of French duhh I mean biochem) So suffice with these pics...

It's taking too long to upload my digi cam pics so for now, its just our mobile ones. Anyway Enjoy. Be amused! :D

Dad n Abeer in The Land of Fairies: Saif ul Muluk's edge

London wear on Lake: Abeer cruising over Saif ul Muluk

Bird's eye view: The side glaciers are where we had our snow fights, snow slides n built snow men!

Mountains here I come!

So I'm off for a week's journey up north!. We'll be inshalah visiting Abotabad, Balakot and Naran Kaghan. I'll be missing two uni days but hey you haven't really been on holidays if-you-dont-go-for-a-holiday!!!

I hope it'll be safe and refreshing... I'm going to be writing the class diary there too :D.

....I've just finished watching the Ger vs Ura match n it was faaaaaaabulous. But I'll be missing the final. :S   We'll be on the bus then :S :(

Ok.. I'm off to pack my bags! If you guys see anyone in our uni laughing like what-not, or biting dreamily into a chicken patee, or jumping from a height even though there are stairs... aaaahhhh remember me :D

Fiction some football!

'He's going to eat the Uraguay one I know it!' said Schweinsteiger angrily.

'In that case, I'm outa here!!!' said Philip Lahmm. He handed the skipper's band to Schweinsteiger who began chewing it nervously.

The German football team watched him walk out of the dressing room.

'Damn that octopus!!! He lives in Germany...eats in Germany... will have kids in Germany... so WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM??? What does he have against us? Hey I know some of you here are ancient enough to be fossils but I'm just 20!! I can't beeeeaaaar thiiissss!' cried out Thomas Muller. He dipped his right foot into a bucket full of lotus lotion. Dreams of winning the 2010 golden foot had him scenting his right foot since the tournament had started (And for good reason, would anyone say who smelled his left foot).

'Someone has to fry him! Or we'll be fried' said Schweinsteiger between bites on the band.

'I have an idea...' said M. Ozil.

****

Five minutes prior to the mussle eating, Lord Paul, the soothsaying octopus received an mms on his cell phone. It was a magnified pic of M. Ozil's eyes, staring at him, with the words printed right under the nose: 'Pick Germany, or these eyes'll come after you!'

One look at the eyes had Lord Paul gasping for underwater air.

****

News agencies around the world announced later that day that Paul the Octopus had chosen to eat a mussel out of the German box. M. Ozil gace a sly smile when he heard.Paul Lahmm couldn't believe it.

****

Germany won the bronze against Uraguay 3-2.

****

WAKA! WAKA!

Holz have done one thing to this amused medic-they’ve brought me closer to football :D. The last wc as far as I can recall, except for a cool head butt and a sneaky wink, was a complete snore! Goals were a real rarity.

But This WC has been heck nail-bitingly exciting.

In Germany vs Eng we all saw it end with 4 speedy, spectacular goals by the Germans to 1; highlights included a crystal clear goal made by the English-seen by what.. billions around the globe, go sadly unseen by the people who should have seen it.. the refs! Another highlight was of course the whole world realising how fat the English dudes have become(Rooney! His prvt helicopter must have lift off issues… when he’s on ;P).

Then Japan, in tears, losing on penalty kicks :s awww but I got to see a golden Honda for the first time ;P.

The last minute surreal drama in Ghana vs Uraguay and awesome saves by Ura’s keeper in the penalty kicks. Every player seemed to want a yellow card; the ref was of course all to happy to give them :P

In the match of the tournament, Ger vs the red bulls of Spain, it was going pretty close, but an unbelievable, mighty header by Puyol in midair, coming from Xavi's bull's eye kick sealed the deal for the bulls. The match, though, has made me a fan of Ger’s Ozil and Schweinsteiger.

So irrespective of how the final goes, this wc has finally made me understand why the whole world’s nuts over football… golden Hondas, fat Rooneys, midair headers, penalty kicks, players back flipping when they goal... It’s Crazy. It’s Fun. It’s Football. N I’ve caught the bug! :D

Here's to Green willie wonkas and Morning Juice

Hmmm… must have been something in the British air…


Maybe the sight of a gazillion loyal Pakistani fans dressed as green willie wonkas shamed them enough to do something…

Perhaps they’d all gotten off on the wrong sides of their beds…

Couldn’t bear to face Younis Khan’s gloating face?

Too much sugar in their morning juice…

Or the fact that fans like me would pulverise.them.to.pulp. if they didn’t win again…

I dunno what it was, what made them do it… And it’s not that I’ve forgiven them or anything… noooooo sirree

But the cricket guys in green have won 2 t20 matches in a superb way against the mighty Aussies. It brought back sweet memories of the T20 cup they won in the very same English grounds.

Lets hope whatever it was… juice, bed side, green willie wonkas… stays… and does- what it just did-again and again =)

Peace

We've just had another bomb, prehaps two of them, here in Lahore. With 35 reported as being, what I would say, matyred.

Please Allah, bring peace to Pakistan. That's all I can say write now. :'(   :'(

Please.

Stand up for the REAL champion

In contrast to our Lousy. Pathetic. Back stabbing. materialistic. squabbling. bawling. stuck up. conspiring. superiority complexed. Unloyal. Unfit. Spoiled.VERY spoiled. LOSER cricketers, there is, thank the Lord, a sportsman in our dear country who’s worthy enough to be called one.
I’m talking about Aisam-ul-Haq.
He’s a tennis player who’s sweated tirelessly and endlessly for years, focussed more on his game than his fame and has worked hard to pedal towards his medal (oo I’m rhyming!). So as Pakistani sport headlines still prefer to swirl around our very talented cricketers (their talent is what I’ve described above), some of which are so lost they don’t know how many times they’ve married and to whom *wink*, Aisam-ul-Haq has silently sweated himself into the doubles men Wimbledon quarterfinal.

Is that awesome or WHAT??

And anyone who follows tennis would know how hard it is to win a match; you have points that earn you a game, games that add to make a set and three sets is what seals the deal. He’s the first Pakistani to make it so far in Wimbledon. He’s even won a double with Roger Federer on the other side(Swiss Open). I know…double gasp!

So hats off to a seriously great sportsman. He’s done all sport enthusiasts in Pk proud.
He is awesome, Aisam-ul-Haq is:D and has yours truly as a fan :D
GO GO GO! you can do this AUHaq!!!

…
I’ve just learned the pair lost their quarterfinal match. :S awwww. But inshalah they’ll get a gram slam cup in their hands soon. They so deserve it.
