Hours after showing his intense mourning regarding assassination of his late wife Benazir Bhutto, Asif Ali Zardari met the beauty Queen of Alaska and the vp nominee of the republican party, Sarah palin. I was expecting this meeting to be very much a skit out of saturday night live but what followed even shocked me.CNN headlines:
"Pakistan’s recently-elected president, Asif Ali Zardari, entered the room seconds later. Palin rose to shake his hand, saying she was “honored” to meet him. Zardari then called her “gorgeous” and said: “Now I know why the whole of America is crazy about you.”
“You are so nice,” Palin said, smiling. “Thank you.” A handler from Zardari’s entourage then told the two politicians to keep shaking hands for the cameras. “If he’s insisting, I might hug,” Zardari said. Palin smiled politely."
like he hasn't made enough of a mockery of us..zardari had to go and do this! now im sure sherry rehman must've been quite jealous.
yet another achievement for him.! :P
I don't know what I'm doing here. I need to stop signing up for random things. Anyway here goes nothing...

Woman ‘tricked into sex’ by penis cream treatment
9:52am Wednesday 25th April 2007
A Syrian-born airline pilot allegedly tricked a schoolteacher from Haverfordwest into having sex with him by pretending he had to administer ointment on the end of his penis, a jury heard yesterday (Tuesday).
Fadi Sbano, 38, even pretended to know a gynaecologist who advised him on how often to have intercourse with her and whether to thrust "slowly or quickly". And, on the "doctor's advice", he kept a clock on the bedside table to time the sessions.
The teacher put up with the treatment for nine months before telling her doctor.
Huw Rees, prosecuting, told Swansea crown court: "The allegations here are of rape by deception."
Mr Rees said the pair met while Sbano was based at Gatwick and the teacher was working nearby.
In November, 2000, she discovered a rash of white spots and feared that typhoid, which she contracted on holiday some years before, had returned.
Sbano claimed he was in talks with a gynaecologist who was anxious for a certain cream to be applied, the prosecutor said.
"He (Sbano) suggested he would apply the cream to his penis and apply it inside her.
Mr Rees said the woman found the sessions "Clinical, not at all erotic". She consented only because she believed it was a proper treatment.
"When the insertions took place, and depending on the instructions of his friend, he would thrust slowly or quickly for anything from one to ten minutes,"
Her doctor told her to find out the identity of Sbano's gynaecologist friend but he "became evasive and never gave his name" beyond the word "Ibby".
"It began to dawn on her that he had devised this treatment in order to have sex with her on his terms."
Mr Rees said "Ibby" was traced but said he knew nothing about the treatment.
Sbano was arrested at Heathrow while attending a pilots' training facility.
He claimed the woman had invented the entire story about the "treatment".
Sbano, from Harrow, London, denies nine charges of rape and 11 or obtaining money by deception.
The trial continues.
unbelievable isnt it...
my friend said either the two are highly stupid or the guy is a gross freak. I said given the circumstances they fall into both categories. How can someone be so stupid?
anyho..last day of school..so im free from FJDC for 10 days...yayy
got my carving completed today..well atleast till the 2nd premolar. Its the worst thing in the world. As it is i am artistically challenged and to carve out teeth from wax blocks..not my strongest area. apart from that going to school was a complete waste of time. no 'dhang' ki classes. infact we only had one class. antivirals by Dr.Ali. that guy pisses me off. Come to think of it there is not a single teacher who i like in 2nd year. hmm...

wednesday=community trips
Dr. khaleel's class:sampling and epidemiology, i dont get what we're learning from it and how its going to help us but its quite an important subject apparently.
and then Dr.Amber: mycology, the woman can barely speak English but tries her level best. so me and shazil decided to actually note down all her mistakes, mainly because i made shazil read a joke which was about pakistani teachers and their english and he said i shouldnt be so stereotypical so well to prove to him that the joke wasnt made up we noted down the mistakes and here are a few:
referring to the types of fungi: are you all agree to it? :P
asking the people who sit at the back of the lecture hall if they could see the board properly: are you all looking at the back?
trying to tell shehryar to get out of her class: you are out!
asking us for an eg of fungi: any fungus do u all know?
telling us how yeast and mould differ from each other: both of the 2!
so ya not being mean to her or anything but shes funny like that!
my take on all the shows that came out:
1)heroes: totally overrated, hated it.
2) how i met your mothe: loved it, want a gay best friend like barney:)
3) prison break: yay finally picking up pace. sucre looked soo hot
4) gossip girl(guilty pleasure): not bad..got to see a lot of chuck and nate and i dont mind that one bit!
Can't wait for desperate housewives and friday night lights!

aaa school..!
so anyway out of the lab into the lecture hall and dr. asmat was all geared up to teach periodontium. now I for once cant digest how anyone would be excited to teach dental anatomy! it has to be the most boring of the dental subjects! so she starts by questions from the previous lecture and noone remembers what epithelial cell rest of malasez are or the functions of periodontal ligament. Sarah had the book open and she whispered the answers to me and i answered and we got on with class.! we pretended to listen to her and just somehow the 50 minutes passed. next up was goiter. i talked throughout the class got a warning to be thrown out if i dont shut up and laughed at the funny pictures of people with bulging eye balls.
and then the wonderful pharma test.! got done with it in twenty minutes because i barely knew anything.!
ramzan and studies just dont go together.!
first!
So here goes!
