Oh Orlando How I Miss You

** Song of the Day: Emiliana Torrini - Jungle Drums **

So its a long story but I choose to tell it anyway. First off let me just put this out there .... Toronto weather is starting to suck more and more every year. Its June... its cold... I want to move to Florida. That being said... Me and Iqbal just got back from Florida a couple days ago and it was freakin amazing!! We werent initially supposed to go there. We were supposed to be in Cancun. But that didnt happen. You know... with the whole Swine Flu going around in that area of the world. Not like its not happening here but I guess the news said Mexico and we said Orlando. lol. This was one crazy trip. It was boiling hot... which is amazing (thats how its supposed to be at this time of year toronto... ease up on the cold man... ease up!!). It was sticky... which comes with the heat and we went to DISNEY WORLD!!! Finally I get Iqbal out there. Now for story time:

So get this.... 2nd day there we decide ok lets go to Epcot. We get to the parking lot and at the gate we are ready with Iqbals wallet in hand to pay for the inconvinient and ridiculous parking fee, and we pull up by this guy and he turns to Iqbal:

Parking Guy: Aye you guyaneese??
Iqbal: No
Parking Guy: Your from India then
Iqbal: No we are from Pakistan
Parking Guy: Oh its the same thing.

Ofcourse Iqbal had to continue the conversation being the extremly friendly converrsationalist that he is.
Iqbal: where you from? george town?
Parking Guy: What?! you know george town?

And the conversation goes on.... and we get impatient and get ready to pay...
the guy turns and looks around...

Parking Guy: Its ok... go ahead follow the blue line.

lol So now we are driving happily since we didnt have to pay parking and Iqbal sees everyone following the yellow line and gets nervous. I force him to stick to the Blue line and we end up in this empty parking lot... and later figure out its the employee parking area lol. Right by the enterance. If we ended up in the yellow parking... we woulda waited for the train! So awesome!

Anyway so the story dosnt end there.

We walk around for a while and end up on this ride that made us both sick... but Iqbal was slightly pukeish lol So we sat around for a while and out of nowhere this old lady comes up to iqbal with this water squirting fan bottle thing and sprayed him all over the face and what not and Iqbal is like what the frig is going on here lol. And shes like "Here take it... it will make you feel better... it costs like $20 here and I got it for 5" lol we didnt take it... we arent that mean... Old lady was awesome though. Made Iqbal feel better.

Then comes fireworks time and it was raining like a mad person. We decided to pick our spot but go and stand in the shop shelter till the rain dies down so we dont get wet. That wasnt working out for us so I bought a poncho and looked like a fool wearing a plastic bag and Iqbal wasnt feeling the goofy look and decided to wear his jacket. we ended up in a really good spot way in the front but this area that bypassed all the trees was blocked off. This guy was standing there and Iqbal ... (conversationalist) begins his conversation:

Iqbal: Whats this area blocked off for?
Security Guy: Oh this is for VIP only
Iqbal: Oh really? So we cant go in?
Security Guy: Nope... only VIP. You have to be on the list

So we turn around and stay standing in our non VIP area. We see all these people getting rejected... including this bechara guy in a wheelchair who just stayed at the end of the VIP area. I felt kinda bad for him. But the security guy returns to us....

Security Guy: Hey whats your name again?
Iqbal: Iqbal
Security Guy: Oh Iqbal?? You ARE on the list!
Iqbal: I am?? Oh!!! I am! Ofcourse I am!
Security Guy: Well then... come on in!

So we ended up in that crazy cool section with an awesome view and the fireworks were amazing!!!! I forgot all about the wheelchair guy at that point lol.

Anyway the park then closed at 9. We decided to stick around since everything was still open. We figured out a little later that it was only open for Disney resort guests. Which we were not. But superstar Iqbal somehow got us into all the rides lol. Which was cool. I now know how useful Iqbal can be lol. And that was only day 1.

I wont go on about the other days however I need to mention the Simpsons ride. It was one of the best rides we went on. I wish they had one exactly like that here in wonderland which will probably never happen but it was amazing! Also.... the Toy Story ride was kick ass as well. I beat Iqbal and have pictures to prove it. lol.

We also ended up at a TNA (wrestling) show recording which was crazy!!! we never expected that and Iqbal was OBVIOUSLY the most excited person in the crowd... we caught some wrestlers dog tag he threw out into the crowd which was nutz and I had a turkey leg.

The trip was awesome!!!!

p.s. Did you know there is a superman in every Sinefeld episode?

Clueless?

Hulloooo!

Hows it going? I've had complaints about not blogging so here I am. Blogging again. And for once I actually have a couple things to blog about so this should be fun. lol. I'm actually sitting at work trying to look busy which is pretty much the main reason for my blogging. The only way I can effortlessly look super busy is by blogging since I get into such a zone lol. Slightly creepy but I dont think any of you should complain since you WANT me to blog. Yah? lol.

I am so super stuffed right now. Just sat down here after eating lunch with the rest of the people at work. Happy Chinese New Year to the people that celebrate it. Which is what the work lunch was for. We had some really good chinese food. Ate standing ... in really really really high heals... lol. That was stupidity on my part but more on that later (not the stupidity ... the shoes). I have honestly never had hot and sour soup make my ears smoke before. Holy mother it was hot. My mouth is actually still burning and I still have more than half of it left sitting in front of me. I am however planning on somehow finishing that soup. God help me! lol.

I bought new shoes. I never go buy new shoes. Iqbal will disagree. He thinks I am a shop-a-holic. I'm really not. I kinda sorta dislike the mall. Ok not the mall ... just Scarborough Town Centre. Its just become too desi and too 15 year old bootie. Its quite sad. Kids really have no lives. What can you say. Anyway ... back on topic... I bought new shoes. It was fun. 3 pairs to be exact. One of them ... the ones I'm wearing today are so high. Not sure why I didnt catch on to that when I tried them on at the mall but point is... I bought them and they are really high. BUT super sexy shoes and I love them and I will wear them even if it causes me a hurt bum from time to time. I have tried to fall proof them as much as possible. lol. So new shoes for Sarah. Yay for me! Im tempted to put up pictures of myself in those shoes but I think I can refrain. For a little while anyway. Eventually those pictures will end up on some post at random.

Now on to yesterday. Yesterday was quite the eventfull evening for me. Iqbal as everyone knows likes wrestling. No wait... like may be an under statement. So Iqbal loves wrestling. And up untill yesterday night I didnt think there was anyone else in this world who was as obsessed with it as he was. That shows how little I know. Iqbals buddy has these Royal Rumble parties. All these wrestling crazies get together and at times beat the shit out of each other while they watch other men beat each other up. Fun fun. So Me and Iqbal... oh and Abbas went to this thing. I swear the kind of people obsessed with wrestling..... you would really seriously never expect it. I was sitting there in the middle of all these screaming grown men yelling at the tv and then trash talking each other. It was fun. I actually had fun. Abbas clearly had a blast. The boy was as excited as a 2 year old on 10 candy bars. I was excited a little bit too. Since I used to watch wrestling up untill the middle of the Rock's wrestling career. So it was fun. Zaffar you fully missed out. It was fun. I would put up pictures also but I didnt have my camera. Tragic.

Also thought this was quite the interesting set of pictures taken on new years. I was clueless. Didnt even know what was happening till after i downloaded the pictures onto my computer that night and saw them lol.

Yup... Clearly sometimes I'm just really clueless. lol.

Happy New Year

** Song of the Day: Tamborine - Eve **

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Something exciting has yet to happen this year. Usually the excitement begins with the countdown and the confetti and then the masive Qureshi hugging and forgetting who was un hugged and then doing a rehug. But this year unfortunatly our new years eve party was lacking in that aspect. We were planning on going away me and Iqbal which didn't happen, Tragedy # 1. Then we ended up at Nanu's house expecting everyone else to show as well and no one showed. So it was Nanu's family, Hadia's family, me and iqbal, mansoor meen and haider. So no one showed, Tragedy #2. Then Abbas was sick, Tragedy # 3. And we found out that Sughra Aunti was also sick. Part of the same tragedy but for the sake of whateverness, Tragedy # 4. Anyway ... the list does go on. But we did end up hanging out and having fun with Yaan. Who is super cute and pouncy =) .

Mama and Papa are still not back yet. It has started to depress me slightly. But they are coming back like tomorrow-ish. Which is exciting!!! Iqbal is also excited. But I think new glasses may be a 'small' part of that excitement. lol.

Anyway, I dont really have much to blog about. I'm currently backing up my pictures from last year. A very routine new year activity that I do and it is quite the irritating process so back to work.
C ya!
