The Pak vs NZ series happens at such a lovely time for us East Coast North Americans. I was leaving work at around 5:30 and I got a notification on my phone that Pak is batting first. Rushed home in quick time and then just relaxed infront of the telly for the rest of the evening. (Although Pak was batting so there wasn't a lot of relaxing going on).

Exactly. Prayed Jum'uah, ate lunch and did groceries. Now I can sit back, relax and watch the match. The timings are second best imo. After the series in WI.

I'd think in the time it took for you to get home and get on the couch, we must've already been 8 wickets down crash landing to 133.

Disadvantage at the same time, when Pakistan is doing terribly, you can't hold yourself back, you still watch...
 
Any guys here have a man bun? Any tips on how to grow one? How length the strands of hair must be (I've heard 12-15 inches) and any other tips in general? As in which shampoo to use and which oil (Olive Oil?) ?

Is your hair straight enough for a man bun? That's the first question.

My friend grew his hair for months but couldn't have a man bun due to his hair being a bit too wavy/curly/thick.

That's a really good question. My hair is wavy and think but once I put my cap on it and push it back, it straightens out.

Am in the process of growing out my hair as well, but no man bun shenanigans.

Have a friend who has one though. He gets the sides trimmed with a number 3 every 3-4 weeks. I don't know if you know what a pompandour is, but it's the hair style where you don't even touch the hair on top, and just trim the sides, so you can just slick the hair back on top, and just let that grow.

He just applied this mousse in his hair for like 5-7 months while they weren't that long to keep them slicked back and now they are long enough to tie.

I try to avoid using hair products because I feel they're bad for your hair, but yeah that's one way.

But if your hair are wavy kinda like mine, then yeah you defo need styling product to keep them under control with a man bun until they get were very long.

Just wondering, will your parents let you grow a man bun? I did try to grow out my hair once but parents had problems with that so had to get a haircut afterwards. :facepalm:

Uhh, If I were like 12-15ish, then no way in hell :)) But, now that I'm 20, they're cool with it.

I don't think I could have grown a proper one anyway so guess it was for the good.

Know some people who have man buns and they all look like cracks. Lol.

How would you describe your hair?
Click to expand...

Not exactly sure how to "describe" but medium/long length I'd say.

I dislike combing them so they are always on the forehead as I have made it habit over the years.

The closest picture I can find is this although my hair are shorter than compared to that:

Ah, I see. The main reason I want a man bun is cuz I've got a HUGE forehead :( My hair is wavy in texture and as of now, probably 5-6 inches in length at best. Trying to get that to 12-15 inches. Should take me a year or so. Let's see if I can stay determined because in the past, I've cut my hair as soon as it hit 7-8 inches.

lol There's so many Pakistani folks with that look here, I can almost image what you look like.

Think that is the ideal type of hair to grow out. But takes a lot of maintenance.

That's a ridiculous statement. That's like saying all Muslims are terrorists because the majority of Terrorists happen to be Muslims.

All Christmas movies have Snow in them because it normally evolves around the North Pole, Santa etc. and America.

Australian's celebrate Christmas in 40 Degree Celsius heat on the beach, and they bloody love it.

Funny how you sneak that in. That isn't correct btw.
 
Have never seen snow irl, would love to see it. Have always lived in places with next to no chance of snow. On the extremely rare chance it happened about few hours away, I completely missed the family trip.

Am a desert dweller :zulfiqarb

Snow isn't all that bad, it looks beautiful when it falls fresh but over time the weather and all just messes it up. Also be honest, Christmas holidays and the mahol around it just isn't the same when there isn't snow and lights. Obviously too much snow isn't ideal either :uakmal

I'm muslim myself, I'm not going to run away and hide the fact that recently most terrorists happen to be Muslim.

It may not apply over the course of a large space of time but recently it's hard to deny it.

Once I was in Alberta on an internship a couple of years ago and during the summer it would be bright and sunny till like 11:00 at night and then the sun will come up again at 4:00am or something.

However during the winter, the sun won't come up until after 8:30am and go back down at like 4pm. Talk about short days!
 
I was looking at the PEC accredited universities for Masters but all the information is about Bachelors. Does it mean Bachelor's accreditation also applies to Masters automatically?????????
 
I make so much fun of SAF and ABD and Amla as well for choking and bolting under pressure that now irl whenever I'm in some competitive situation like a sport i choke under pressure as well more often than not. :afaq

Maybe its karma.

Christmas is celebrated on beaches because it's hot there, over here, most want a white Christmas because it's winter here, and it doesn't always feel like Christmas if there is no snow.

I'm about one year in. What's ATAR?
Click to expand...
What is the ATAR?:
The ATAR or Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank is the number which determines a student’s entry into university. Speaking in rough terms the number scored by an individual is the percentage of students they ‘beat’ on the higher school certificate. For example if you scored 90 then you ‘beat’ 90% of the other people in your age group who sat the HSC. Universities use the ranks and scores to offer their limited university positions to graduating students.

How the ATAR is calculated:
The ATAR process involves several steps and components. It can seem contrived or at worst biased if you don’t understand. Here is a simple explanation to help with the complicated steps that make up an ATAR.

For each subject taken there are 4 marks which are attributed to it:

Examination Mark
Assessment Mark
HSC Mark - (High School Certificate)
Performance Band

I was going through some posts earlier; about a couple of months ago, when it came to my attention that you're quite well versed on matters relating to C.P.E.C.

If you don't mind me asking, can I know which companies are partaking in the acquisitions of heavy duty machinery and their accessories? Is the government entertaining private foreign vendors who might be interested in supplier such assets on the on going projects that are currently happening ??

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated bro.
