Feeling Hot, Hot … HOT!!! [ & Other stuff ]
Ok, so my last post was about a week ago ... It’s frustrating but I don’t get much time to write/type about what is going in ‘my not – so – interesting’ life at the moment! Until now that is - got a long weekend break! Yey! 4 days of relaxing and gathering my *ahem* thoughts! :~)
Anyhoo, as the title of my post points out - it has been an extremely HOT week in England! Woaaaaah!! Wednesday was THE hottest day in many many many years!! It’s the kind of the weather where the last thing one should do is go to work and sit behind a desk for 8+ hours each day [Especially if the Air-Con at work sucks big time!]. My journey to work yesterday morning at 7am was refreshing – the weather had calmed down. It was cool and drizzly but unfortunately that did not last very long ‘cos it is BOILING!
Enough rambling about the weather ……..
“ ... Brutal, Gruesome and Horrific death ... ” [ Extract from dailymail.co.uk ]
A short while ago I mentioned in one of my previous posts [ Can't seem to add a link to this post but can be found in the month of May 2006 ] about a ‘barbaric’ honour killing of a young woman who fell in love with the wrong man. 25 – year old graduate, Samaira Nazir was knifed to death in a savage attack after her family disapproved of her marrying an Afghan asylum seeker.
Samaira was stabbed 18 times by her brother, cousin and her father [who was arrested, bailed then fled to Pakistan and was claimed by the family to have died there]. Samaira was murdered in her own home [witnessed by her 2 small nieces] where she bled to death “ ... defendants acted together by strangling and holding on to her to prevent her from escaping ... ”
The situation reached crisis point when Samaira tried talking to her mother at a relative’s home but her mother refused and she and Samaira reached home in an angry mood. This would be Samaira’s last moments. Neighbours heard cries from the house and tried to help but was told “ .. She’s having fits ... ”. Shouting was heard from Samaira by the neighbours saying “ ... You are not my mother anymore ...” ... “ ... Help me, Help me ... ”. She tried to escape and made it to her car but was pulled back by her brother. By the police arrived they found her dead slumped in the hall, surrounded by blood. As her brother was arrested his response was “ ... My sister did not want an arranged marriage. We only allow marriage within the family. This had to be stopped ... ” .
Her brother and cousin were jailed for life – hmm doesn’t really matter now though. What happened has happened. Cannot bring her back ...
Makes you sick, doesn’t it?
Makes my blood boil. Poor girl.
I detest these vile creatures who would do such a thing and hope they burn in hell. As for Samaira’s own mother? She’s not fit to be called a ‘mother’. Enough said.
Moving on ...
Middles East troubles – It is so depressing to watch the news on TV and read the papers nowadays. Hundreds of innocent lives on both sides – Israeli and Hezbollah are being taken. This has to stop! How will this situation be resolved? Will it be resolved? Who’s going to help? What are the so-called most powerful men of the world [who are currently at the G8 summit] going to do about this? Fuck all I guess.
Hmmm depressing post hey? Better stop before I make everyone else feel ‘down in the dumps!’ I apologise.
Hopefully next time my next post will be a little up – beat.
Til then.

Another year gone by …
My birthday is coming up soon and I am not looking forward to it. People are reminding me practically each day but I so don’t want to know! It actually frightens me that from now on I will be ticking the 26-30 categories on forms when asked about my age instead of 20-25! Pathetic I know!
So what have I actually achieved? Well, when I was a teenager I thought by the time I turn 25 – I’d be married, with a kid and living it up ... how wrong was I? I have ‘liked’ a few guys in my lifetime but have only been in love once. I thought he was the one … I would have done anything for him [and I did], The guy I would spend my life with & have kids with but it wasn’t meant to be. Love hurts …and it’s a horrible feeling.
Anyways I can’t stop the inevitable happening .. so BRING IT ON! *Sigh* ... It’s bout time I ‘settled down’ and find myself a nice Punjabi Pakistani guy and stop ‘going after’ the goray’s I tend to go for .... *GRIN*.
Talking [or typing] bout marriage – my cousin is getting married soon. When? I have no idea ‘cos I don’t give two hoots - I will not be going! This is the same cousin who I was so close to that she knew everything [I mean everything] and anything about me and visa versa. We knew stuff about each other that we’d hoped NO ONE else would ever find out – if they did then I couldn’t even begin to imagine what the repercussions would be of our actions.
Never in a million years did I ever assume that we would ever fall out and not speak. It’s been nearly 9 months and we have not said a word to each other. She’s tried on a few occasions to make some kind of ‘contact’ but I am not ready to forgive her for what she did. I know we’re suppose to forgive and forget and normally I would but this time – no way. All our lives we [her mostly] would make plans for our future weddings, as most girls do when their kids and make promises about how we would stay in touch once we’re married and moved many miles away from each other – well, things change. It’s sad but I don’t miss her at all. She hurt me and us trying to mend our ‘differences’ – I don’t see that happening anytime soon. But I do wish her all the luck… she’s going to need it.
I’m not a bitch but I am standing up for what I think is right for once in my life ...
Moving on – I finally changed my hours and contract at work. So this means from now on I work more than 9 hours a day but get a random day off during the week [like today]. So far it’s been going well [mind you it has only been a week!] but finishing late will take a while to get used to. I really don’t mind starting early each morning but the time I get home it’s already 7pm.
Not really in the mood to type anymore ... Who knows what the future will bring. I do know there will be joy and there will be sorrow ... but hey ... that’s life.

“Catch – Up”
It has been a fairly quiet week. The usual crap … [or routine] .. Getting up early, go to work, get stressed at work, finish late, come home, watch a bit of telly, eat, have a long hot soak in the bath and then go to bed …. Then the whole cycle begins again …
As mentioned before on Friday was the first anniversary of the London bombings. A tragic day where 52 innocent lives where taken early morning and more than 700 injured when 4 ‘British Muslims’ blew themselves up – 3 underground and one on the bus [youngest bomber only 18 years old].
Even though I was not anywhere near London when this horrible tragedy occurred, it still affected me and my family so much that till this day it we still shiver at the thought of what if.
My brother – whom on that fateful day would have taken one of the trains at that particular time and I know for a fact he would have sat in the same carriage as one of the bombers did. The only reason he wasn’t on that train on his way to work was that the very first time ever he left home late. His then girlfriend [now wife] had rang him early first thing to see how he was doing as the night before he was unwell.
July 7th 2005 – I was at work when we heard about what had happened. At first we heard 2 trains had collided but when we heard what really happened that’s when fear began. Many of my colleagues had families in London so we had 1 thing in our minds – ring them and find out if they were ok – fuck work! Immediately I rang my brother on his mobile, his work phone but there was no connection. No one had heard from my brother … my family … my grandparents – everyone was hysterical as was I. The more we heard on the news about what had happen the more anxious we all became. Finally it wasn’t until 4 hours later when I finally got through and believe me I have NEVER BEEN so happy in my life when I heard my bro’s voice on his mobile phone!! And do you know the first thing I said to him?? “ …You bastard!! …”. lol – ok I know it isn’t funny but I was in tears and so angry with him that he didn’t ring one of us to let us know he was ok. Granted all phone lines where down / jammed but still!! It was a horrible day for many people. Many Allah bring peace to all who lost loved ones.
It wasn’t until a few weeks later after this day my bro told me what really happened. He would have been on that train underground but was running late. I owe so much to my sis-in-law!
2 weeks after 7/7 four men attempted to ‘copy’ these attacks but thankfully their bombs failed to explode.
So this Friday, nationwide there was a 2-minute silence to remember the victims. My family and myself also remembered this day when we had them over for dinner.
But amid the solemnity of such an occasion there were angry voices. Many British Muslims feel the police have targeted their communities since the attacks. Only a short while ago police officers shot 2 innocent brothers during a so-called anti-terrorism raid. What did they find? Absolutely nothing.
No one has been charged in connection with the bombings – I doubt they will find anyone soon.
When will this all stop?

Tiny update
I was going to type out a long post today [as usual] but unfortunately I am absolutely knackered! Came straight from work and then helped out at home where we had another dawaat for my grandparents. Don’t get me wrong I like the occasional family gathering but on a Friday bleeding night?? …. The night before I have to get to up at 6am and be at work for 8am [on a Saturday!!!] - Doing over time at work tomorrow so that’s less than 5 hours sleep for me then ….
Cant keep my eyes open so until whenever … ta ra

... Howdy...
Off from work today. Pulled a sickie. No, I’m not skiving! I really I’m not feeling too great today. Should really be in bed but me bored.
It is extremely hot today. In fact this heat reminds of the time I was in Pakistan in 1997 during the summer season! Whoa, it was so HOT that not only had I never experienced before but also I passed out on numerous occasions due to the extremely intense & hazardous heat! Ahhh sweet memories … NOT!
Anyways as I have nothing of significant to chat about, I’ll go on one of my usual random mumblings. My hols are coming up soon which is a great thing! I can’t wait. But unfortunately, on the other hand, not so great because my birthday is also coming up around that time. Another year gone by and what have I achieved with my life? Absolutely shit all. Zilch! Older? Yes! Wiser? …. Yeah right!! I am especially surprised that my family haven’t brought up the ‘M’ word – Marriage. Are they waiting for me to bring a nice Pakistani mundaa home?? Hmmm they’ll be waiting a long time!
Looking back, I seem to have dedicated a lot of ‘post-time’ to England and the world cup. I haven’t been into work today but a friend of mine rang me up a few minutes ago and told me that the atmosphere at work was that of ‘sombre’, ‘sadness’ and ‘very very quiet’. Oh well …. Next time, I suppose …
July 7th – The first anniversary of the London bombings is on Friday. I will post more about this subject nearer to the date as this day was not only one of the worst days of mine and my families lives [and those of hundreds of people who lost loved ones and where injured] but also how it affected as all and will do so forever.
Anyways peeps, I have taken some heavy ‘drugs’ that are making me feel drowsy – and it does say on the label not to ‘operate heavy machinery whilst under the influence’. Well, I classify my PC as ‘heavy’ LOL!!
Till next time. Later

World Cup Misery [one last time]
“ … We were just not good enough ….” – You think(!?)
Gutted. Totally and utterly gutted. There were tears and tantrums all around England on Saturday.
Really thought it would be our year but it wasn’t meant to be.
But what a disappointing game! Rooney sent off – Ronaldo you bastard! Beckham injured and don’t even get me started on those crappy penalties taken by our so called ‘best’ players – Gerrard, Lampard, Carragher ….
Now the ‘who’s to blame’ game will begin by the British media and people. Supposedly we had the best players who would bring the cup home this year .. hmmmm …
As for Beckham – leave the poor guy alone! He made a tearful announcement early Sunday morning. He is no longer the captain [but hopefully will carrying on playing for his country].
Time to take down those flags people but roll on Euro 2008.
Misery.
