i want a muffin!

Posted by anas on Aug 27, 2009 in London Diary | 6 comments I am forced to leave the lab, earlier than usual, because I cannot see people around me enjoying delicious chocolate muffins and having a go at their favourite drinks. On leaving the department I had to pass the cafe and sniff the smell of freshly ground coffee. There is no other way out of thebuilding. Now as I stand on the stop, waiting for the bus, which is taking eternity to show up, my...

I'm Back!

Posted by anas on Aug 16, 2009 in London Diary | 11 comments My newly acquired habit of waking up early in the morning, which I haven’t been able to kickout yet, has started paying dividends. I have been working extremely hard for the past one month, starting early in the morning and finishing late in the afternoon. A typical day consists of waking up around 8 (without alarm), taking a quick light breakfast before getting ready to go the uni. I reach...

Posted by anas on Aug 8, 2009 in London Diary | 4 comments Not a single day passes when the thought of updating the blog doesn’t cross my mind. Just when I sit down to jot down those thoughts I feel totally lost. There is so much happening in and around my life and yet I don’t find the words to write them down.

Update Shupdate

Posted by anas on Jul 10, 2009 in London Diary | 5 comments I know I haven’t been updating the blog lately but that’s just because I’ve been involved in a lot of mental exercise in the past few days. My project was crawling at a snail’s pace before halting at a dead end. Before I could look any further in to it, my dad announced his arrival. This was a welcome break, and I was looking forward to it. He was here for a short 4-day...

A Day In The Life Of…

Posted by anas on Jun 26, 2009 in London Diary | 9 comments I woke up when my alarm rang at 7.30 am in the morning. Without even having to look at the time and the cellphone I was able to hit the right spot on the (touch)screen to switch off the ringing. Then again it started at 7.31 am and I followed the routine of switching it off. This incident continued two more times at precisely 7.34 am and 7.35 am when I decided that it was too early to wake up and...

Cutting the Ribbon (and the flashing of LED)

Posted by anas on Jun 15, 2009 in London Diary | 13 comments I was rightly furious when I found that a courier that I was anxiously waiting for was not delivered to me because apparently I wasn’t home when a man rang my doorbell to deliver the package. I was furious because I was in fact at home and it was impossible to miss the doorbell. The courier company should have left a note in my mailbox, which was not to be found anywhere. I called them up...
