I thought I'd post some pics to commemorate the end of the first half of our last semester of university life...awww which also means it's our mid-semester break, yippee! Hos is inviting us to her house for "lunch, dinner and breakfast"! I can't believe her news too.
The photos may look like were studying in the library rooms, but in reality we were watching movies I downloaded on my laptop and Jos analysed our handwriting. Also the other photos were taken at the Uni Snow Dance party, held at the swampbar. They had fake snow falling above us. So cool. The Snow Party rocked! Notice arvin sometimes fades into the background. lol
Hope you like it!
Congrats to Beenz and Bog who are going to graduate next week. Woohoo! You guys must be soo excited!

Hey guyz,
long time no blog.
I'm exhausted. I've started Job Search training and it's the biggest waste of time. All we do is look for jobs all day and they help us out a little. I can do that at home, and i do that at home. It's 9 - 5 and for three weeks. But if i get a job out of it then it was worth it.
Also, Graduation next Thursday... Yippeee. Azeena will be there too. In fact i think she's supposed to arive the coming weekend. Need a whole new outfit. Saw something in harpers bazaar so i might buy that. It's black pinstriped pants and halter neck vest. I'll need a shirt too but i think a pain white shirt will look the best. If that doesnt turn out to be right then i saw this blue pants, vest and stripped shirt outfit at Grace Bros. I'll buy that. Also i still need to work out how to do my hair and makeup. Decisions Decisions. I can be such a girl somtimes. I know... its sickening.
Also if i don't get a Job by December 8th then i'm goin to Paki. Wish me luck. I'd rather have a job. The longer your out of work the harder it is to eventually get one. But i havn't lost hope yet. Also my mum'll prob want to get me married if i go with her. She told me that Faisal (oldest bro) is already warning her against it. It can be handy havin over protective older brothers.

Nobody's been writing here for awhile. I'll take the initiative for now. What is going on with everyone at the moment? All of us don't get to see each other much. We don't know what each other is doing. If you are interested in mine, keep reading. If you're not, or easily bored.....ummm.....keep reading anyway, lol!
Me Arv Mar and Viv just got through our first assignment this semester, DSS. It wasn't that bad. We really just needed a lot of time and patience. And a lot of resources, which we lacked. In the end we handed our assignments anyway, all questions answered ( we hoped!). After a few weeks of doing nothing, we realised we got to get back and dive into the water now. But we still keep in mind how this is our last semester, so we still try to spend time with each other.
I am enchanted by Shakira right now, her style, her music, her mesmerising mooves! There's one musician i don't like. Eminem. I don't like him because i think his music is oppressive and there's just something so sinister about them. It's like....he's trying to communicate something else besides what you physically hear, and it's not pleasant. I dunno. I haven't really given him a chance, i mean, i haven't really listened to his songs. It's just my first impression. If you like him, pls don't get put off by what i said. I'm speaking out of first impressions.
This is a friendship poem for roya, it's just a verse. I found it written on the wall of a toilet when I was in high school. I've always kept it in mind.
True friends are like diamonds; Precious and rare. False friends are like autumn; Leaves found everywhere.
That's all I got for now straight from my mind. Not unless you want a song:
You can always count on me and i can count on you Good times bad times in between My friends will see me through
we'll be sharing wonderful times everyday something something....my heart
say hello to your friends baby-sitters club say hello to the people who cares baby-sitters club
say hello to your friends baby-sitters club say hello to the ones who's always there.
say hello to your friends baby-sitters club say hello to your friends baby-sitters club
say hello to ones who's always there...... baby-sitters club Say hello to your friends!
HELLO!!!!!!!! from jos

Hey guys,
long time no blog I've been not to bad. As usual still lookin for jobs. Graduating on Oct 3rd. Miss u guys too and hangin out at uni and just sitting and talkin in the labs instead of getting any work done. Havnt seen you guys all semester.
I've got nothing to say. Nothing to do. Nothing new going on. But suprisingly, life goes on and I'm still enjoying it. It's the little things that I'm enjoying. Going for a walk with a friend. Going out to the movies on a last minute decision. Having time to myself to do anything I want to do. Eating lots and lots of chocalate and icecream. Sleeping in everyday. Having no responsibilities or deadlines. Free to have fun. So, i don't really need some big party on the weekend. I don't need big plans and be surrounded by people I hardly know and trying to be polite to people I dont really like. So lifes good when you have perspective.
Congrats Roya on ur ur job. Correction... Career. Hope ur having fun and making packets of money.
Good Luck everyone on pending assignment deadlines which I'm sure are very close now.
Cant wait till Azeena comes. Then we need to get together for lunch or movies or whatever. And Azeena, whats ur home number in sheep land?

hello! i don't know what to write here. i'm just REALLY tooshed about something my computer had done! i want to vent it out so much but i can't! S2pid computer! Of course, it's not just the computer....there is an underlying reason. BUt s2pid, i can't say it just yet. i was listening to the CD I bought dixie chicks but it won't play it properly! arrgggh!
what else to write here? i'm trying to get over something. my tooshiness with my computer! and my s2pid server isn't helping much either! i have tons to do this weekend, but i always come up with something else to do! no mattah how much i tell myself to prepare early, i always think of something else to do! and then technology makes it more difficult because u have to figure out technology first! and then you put so much time and effort trying to figure it out but ends up ruining more!!
i'm just blabbing here.... these are my current thoughts at the moment. methinks i'm a complete idiotic dudette! if only my feet are more grounded! if only i'm more stable! but i can't stabilise meself, and i end up confusing me further. and then later i'd realise, what the heck was i talking about???! and then later again, what do i mean what i think? why did i think at all?! stop asking WHY! Cuckoo! it's 1:33am saturday and tried to use tpg, kewl it works. but what's the point now? s2ped computer! ayayay!!! it's the macarena! cuckoo! time to sleep i think! what's going on? Don't think too much! don't be such a censurer. don't get paid enough. Just keep walking! Cuckoo! Yay!
hmnnn...... i think that's as much free association as i can get??? too many prying eyes.... it's not a pristine environment. wuteva! No noooo!! not the jacket!!! Aaaahhhh!!! i have magical powers to free myself! Poof! there! hahhaha! i'm cured! but the matrix is still out there! We are the one! Yahoooooo!

some thoughts..................i dont know.....should i be posting this here.....urghh......ok i will.......its my mistake if i do.....better know than not know at all......we are still a group. im still not sure if i should post it here........urghh.....ok i will..........ummmmmm.....its been started already......so here it is.....
last night i was so frightened what will be of our friendship. i wondered about the whole idea and the fact that we did that to each other.
i had time to think.
it is open forum, where you say what you think about that person, that friend. the things you usually dont say infront of their face. but u think about it and say maybe sometimes say it behind their back.
noone and nothing is perfect.
the open forum was not suppose to be destructive it is suppose to be constructive.
i was not there to change someone coz everyone is their own person. i was not there to judge, coz i had no right to do that. i was not there to criticise and make someone feel bad about themselves coz i know i have my own faults.
at the open forum, i wasnt enforcing that i was right. i wasnt saying that, hey your wrong. its not that at all. i said what was on my mind at that time/moment and maybe my mind will change later. maybe you could tell me your view on that situation after listening to what i say.
yes it was raw, yes it was real and yes it can be hurtful. yes it was me pointing out from what i see that persons faults or something that kinda annoys me about them. yes i will get my fair share and yes it can either be something that can break us or make us into better friends.
i admit i felt bad. but im glad i know it, it does not mean i will change myself. it does not i mean i will continue being that person. i heard what they said and i will take it day by day. its an adjustment knowing somethnig about yourself that is not good.
some, they might not know that they do that, maybe they do. maybe they need help, maybe they dont. maybe its their personality and maybe thats the actual reason why we are friends with them and not know it and maybe it hurts us. maybe your glad it was said and heard. maybe its something you will regret.
the reason why i agreed was that i believed that our friendship was strong enough to get rid of the lies under the table, behind each other, like a bubble floating close waiting to be burst by a pin. maybe we pushed too much in trying to pull each other closer.
look at the big picture.
i knew that someone can get hurt from this, espeically that ur friends has said this. some will listen, some will use it for their own purpose... good or bad, some will forget it and someone will hold that to their heart and let that get to them.
i am cool with that, i realize that we were opening pandora's box together and i felt that we were going to conquer this together.
this friendship is something that i take seriously and im so glad i am part of. each person brings something. good. or why would we stay in a bad frienship.
at the process of doing this, it wasnt my intention to be bad and hurtful, judgemental or change someone. i am as human as you.
i accept my friends so much, before this happned and after it occured.
we should balance it out. the things that annoys you and the things you like about them. its not sucking up its telling them how you make their day better. its not fishing for compliments its telling them that you are soo good.....
maybe it wasnt the best idea but im glad it happened. these things happened for the best and thats how God planned it. it was meant to be.
honesty is such a lonely world. i hope not. the truth is painful but also the truth is love and care.
we will all take something from this, we can grow from this or we can break from this.
the only thing that was not right, was the fact that we did not think about what will happen afterwards. i have other friends and i try to be as honest as i can. i say it, small things maybe big. but know that im your friend. good times bad time in between.
that is all i can think of right now. but im ok. i am not perfect and the things my friends say matters deeply, and i know mine does to them. good or bad. what will happen now? i dont know. que sera, sera, whatever will be, will be. the futures not for us to see. que sera, sera. what will be, will be. i like that song.
it was done, the intention is good, am sorry people got hurt and some people didnt listen. all it was was letting that person know. the good and the bad. at the end you still accept them and not think of them any less. its up to u how u use it and see it. it is up to each of us what will happen now.
i hope it turns out ok. more to say but i'll leave it here for now.
later! arvin
