Well today was a pretty good day actually, I woke up around 14:35 and I was so happy when I saw the sun shine brightly today, I got out of bed and started to get ready as fast as I could, it feels as if I haven’t seen the sunshine for days, weeks even.

I made an omlet with mushrooms and peppers and had some grapefruit and yoghurt made it such a good start, I just felt the need to go back to that park and lay in the sun as long as I could. I left the house around 15:00 or so and jogged down to the park, Im still feeling a bit light headed recovering from this cold/flu whatever it is I had, but I feel like im functioning normally again now.

Just as I got to the park the sun was already on its way down, but there was a good few moments where it just shone on my face, i’ll really have to chase it next time. I made my way down to the far side of the park as I’ve never been there before and I saw someone doing some boxing shadow drills I was just thinking to myself I dont know what it is about this guy but something seems special, as I walked past he said hello and kindly introduced himself to me and told me some of his tale.

He was a former feather weight world champion boxer and was just keeping his game up in the park, so its very good for me to meet him as I just started my training at this park as well and he was very keen to do some work with me, he was actually pretty keen on introducing me to some boxing moves and training.

So we set the date of next Friday to meet here and we’ll get too it, hope its not so cold out there

amazing.. just finihsed watching naruto on the plane to aus, im crying still. but man looking out the window .. one of the most amazing sites ive ever see, this truly is the land of the rising sun, i been sneeking peeks every now and then while i was watching naruto but man.. the colours ive never seen before, the suns tint is bringing out the blues and hues, … just amazing, i could even see the stars when it was first creeping out, now its a little bit more lighter outside but still .. AUS time is 05:29, so 1h 30min to go!!!

im soo excited can’t belive it, im actually gonna stay with ladyk .. funny how we lost contact for couple of years, and was able to pick up back where we left off and also how warm and inviting she was allowing me to stay with her. Truly an amazing person, I really look forward to spending time with her and learning her story a little bit at a time while im there. Besides all the sites and adventures.

Just being in the airport i was all excited about japan, getting closer to AUS makes me all excited about that now!! being just above the clouds .. woowo i can see the formation and shapes so clearly now its a little more brighter. i slept about 4 hours tonight so not feeling that bad, when i woke up i knew i wasnt able to get back to sleep so perfect time to pull it out. ;0

Man, Everyday just seems to get better and better. I been staying at Fountain road for the past 6 days or so, and man I love it here so much, Samina baji .. what a wonderful person, she was always my favourite as I rememberd as a kid coming here I always used to love it, such a warm and inviting person .. I can see everything. That day spent just walking to shops and waiting while her and Sunnah were trying on Saris.. I was actually tearing a bit just thinking about things, and how happy i was to be around them. Theres so much love in this house.  Im so glad to be part of the love right now, Have been really spending alot of time with Sahir, heh he reminds me of myself so much in some ways and i guess thats how we attract each other. and getting to know more about Minnie, Sunnah and Faraz is coming on too, they’re all such beautifull people!!

I dont remember much about Ikki bhai as a kid, but now I really am getting to know him, getting to know how strong of a person he is, and how wealthy they all are to have one of the most beautiful families ever. Just being here feeling so warm and comfortable, getting to know my neices and nephews .. Also getting to know Dr. Rahman Uncle. one of the foundations of my family, my dad always talked so much about him

I played squash yesterday!!! owowowowowo man i was actually dying to play, like its only been about 1.5 weeks since I last played. but man it was incredible. I defeated 2 players fairly easily when i got warmed up a bit, but regardless just to get out on the court, and hit the ball.. in another country. Legs felt really heavy for the whole session, but that’ll go away in a couple of hits 4sure, i really needed that, just feels so icky when i dont execercise for that long, like i been biking everywhere and went for a jog one day, but not the same!!

Thank you Omar Samad for reminding yourself of what is important. I have literally been crying the past while thinking of how happy i am to see my family again.
I love them so much, and it is the most amazing feeling in the world to be here with them right now. omg im crying so much more!! heheh ive only been home
about 2 days now, i say home but its my home in Birmingham that is, where I was born. and theres still so much more family to see!!!

Fury aunty my favourite aunty!! and her beautifull children, omg they’ve grown so much!! hehe today i only spent an hour playing with Sarah, but omg it was
the most amazing thing in the world!!! she was just showing me some stuff on the computer, and like we played some fun games at bored.com, then we played 2
player mario kart sitting down in my room, and she actually beat me in one race!!! lol i didnt let her win either. so i think i owe her a quid. but she owes
me a treat which im definately gonna cash in on soon. Sarah is the most adorable girl in the world!!!  i still remember her when she was a baby, and she would
bite me and scratch my face lol!! and Zainah too! omg they are the most gorgeous girls evar!

also i talked to bunny hala today!!! my other favourite aunty!! heheh omg i CANT WAIT TO SEE HER! OIMG AND HUSSAN TOO!!1 hehe he picked up the fone. wow
just thinkining about htem makes tears just stream down!!! but yeah, i was so happy to talk to him only for a few moments tho im gonna see them 2morrow.
Talked to bunny hala for a while after that, and wow!! hehe can’t wait to see them!!

so i havent had a hit yet. omg im dying to have one actually. i sent some emails around so hopefully within a couple days ill get some sorted out. but on another
note athar my cousin that plays squash has invited me over for the next weekend coming up so i’ll be going there, which is a 3h train ride from here, and
he lives right outside Camebridge on the coast. So i can’t wait to swim in the sea, and also play squash and table tennis with him!! man im really dying to have
a hit. i got a bike so 2morrow i’ll be biking around lots.

Arquam, what a nice young man hes become. and it’s really lucky that hes on holidays now because spending the time with him, just chatting doing simple little
things is honestly the most important thing in the world right now.

im sleeping in his bed right now. although hes not here with us, hes with us everyday in our hearts. The life and the legend of a warrior will forever
be ingrained within my heart.

My heart is filled with love for everything and everyone around me, and will always be my guide in life. hehehe im so fukkin happy about everything
and everyday keeps just getting better and better. UN BELIEVABLE!!!
