My Saturday in a few words

Well, may be not very few.

Sometimes I feel like I am being obssessed with working -- which is not good, because not everytime is your peak and productive time, right?
So I decided to blog instead of working -- there's a temptation there.

I had a pretty disturbed sleep, started waking up, dozing on and off since 5 am. At 7:30 am I really got up and started thinking of my research, blah... Then I took shower, breakfast, check e-mails, chatting and reached office at 9:30 am.

I worked until I realized that:
- I was really alone in office (in fact, on the whole floor)
- I was hungry
- I was (and am) a bit fed up with the food around campus

So I opened my outlook window and lo! My friend Sonja just sent me a mail and we reached the conclusion that we both are hungry and would like to have lunch together =).

We decided to meet in Student center and then walked to Pepper Sky. I love the Shrimp Pad Thai!! They cooked it so nicely today that I felt obliged to finish them though I was already a bit full.

When we walked back, Sonja said "Want to drop by Toscanini? You can ask whether they have Khulfi flavor."

To no surprise, there's no Khulfi shown in the flavor list on their board. Khulfi is known to be one of the most popular flavor and somehow it's SO difficult to get it. So I asked the guy behind the counter *semi-desperately*:

"When can I get Khulfi? You know, I've come so many times but never managed to get it." <- it's really true!!

Him:
"Hmm.. wait, I'll check the kitchen"

And lo! He comes with a bucket of khulfi ice cream -- rock hard from the freezer. For a moment, he was my Knight in Shining Apron Carrying Khulfi.

Him:
"How many scoops?"

Me:
"A pint, of course!!" *beaming*

Sonja got the CBC Amber Wort (yes, the kecap-manis-tapi-ngakunya-beer-flavored) ice cream. So we walked back beaming carrying a brown paper bag each with our precious Toscanini tubs.

I got back and reached my dorm at 5:30 pm. Read a bit of "The Places in Between" (Rory Stewart) and took a nap. Had a mixed dream -- partially Afghanistan (from the book), partially my research and some write-up that I have to prepare.

So I woke up before long, read a bit of paper and started working again until 10:30 pm. Shower, and couldn't decide which ice cream to take so I took both pints. Ate them while watching a movie. But as I am not a movie fan, could only stand it for half an hour. Luckily my mom called afterwards.

Going to sleep soon...
