The anything goes blog by Shardie
Two weeks ago the strangest thing happened to me while I was asleep. I was woken up suddenly by something sitting on my chest and wanting to choke me. I was completely awake but could not move, scream, turn or push this "thing" off me. I could slightly see something but could not make it out. It was the most terrifying thing and the more I tried to move the harder it held me … [Read more...]
I think every Indian home can relate to this. The night is hot and you sweaty all over. The fan just blows hot air round and round. You sit in an old chair with your shirt half open trying to catch a measly excuse for a breeze, but mostly smacking yourself because you hear the buzzing sound of a mosquito. In the distance you hear a Ford Escort blasting its exhaust pipes to … [Read more...]
Yep another train issue... I realised today that there really is a separation between the classes. Almost every day travelling to the city from the west to uni, I jumped on train that was old (rinky dink) with no air condition and pretty torn up - THEN - when I change to a north shore line, the trains are clean, new, air-conditioned (with signs that tell you what the next stop … [Read more...]
Enough is enough!! Every kid does naughty things and Maryam is no exception. Sometimes they cute while other times just plain down naughtiness. My daughter is very lucky compared to many other kids - she has a small laptop (a real one), an iPad and loads of toys. She gets spoilt by loads of people - especially the mothers of the children my wife teaches. Nonetheless, sometimes … [Read more...]
It's only a matter of time and seems inevitable that file sharing websites like Megaupload will be closed down. Apparently the USA feels that it can control the internet and seems to be getting it right without the help of SOPA and PIPA. Filesonic has recently followed suit and closed its file sharing completely which actually makes the facility totally useless. Now you can … [Read more...]
Anyone who knows me, knows that I have a hellava sweet tooth. I just love sweets, cakes, chocolates, biscuits...you get the picture. Romantics is just one of those sweets you pop into your mouth and enjoy the sweet taste... until now. I was in Jo'burg (Johannesburg for our international visitors) a few weeks ago at a sweet warehouse and got a packet of Romantics - amongst other … [Read more...]
Its 11pm, 3 degrees outside, no-one in site for miles, all the kids are asleep, cars parked, there is peace and quiet. What a wonderful time to relax and de-stress.... UNTILL your damn neighbor's dogs decide to bark non-stop for the next hour. Im talking at least 4 houses away. That constant woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof goes on and on as if its a dripping tap with a … [Read more...]
Theres past few days have been really damn cold. Up to -5 degrees is no joke. Its like you constantly have to have a heater by your side. Your toes freeze up all day. Only good thing - no need to keep ice water in the fridge. My finders are too cold to continue typing - sorry … [Read more...]
Wow, just a few hours after I posted an article on Apple pulling an app because of it being "anti-Islam". I never thought that it would hit our shores so fast. Have we not learnt about RESPECT yet? Have we not learnt from the uproar the Danes caused? the Mail & Guardian has "bravely" gone and published a competition to draw The Prophet Muhammed (PBUH). Islam fobids the … [Read more...]
Jacob Zuma, the man who has successfully become the president of South Africa. Dances like a moneky in public, has unmarital sexual relations and "believes' that a shower will clean you from Aids - this man just doesnt siece to amaze us and the world. Last night while watching the news on ETV, I couldnt believe my ears when they said that is take R15million (R15 000 000) a year … [Read more...]
