# my travels so far-

I can't believe I've been to 100 cities, and I feel like I'm still missing out on some. Travelling is the most awesome thing ever, but so so tiring. Some of these places I vaguely remember because all we ever do is work with the odd 2 days of sight seeing, the places where we've been forced to live for a few weeks or months, those tended to be the sucky places. guess travel is also best done in little bits.

Johannesburg, South Africa

Sydney, Australia

Zanzibar, Tanzania

Mumbai (Bombay), India

London, England

Amsterdam, The Netherlands

New York City, NY, USA

Granada, Spain

Singapore, Singapore

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

# Ez-pesh-she-ally...-

I'm somewhere between two countries at the moment. A bit bored, decided to do a quick upload from the one of the only pieces of jewellery I wear- my flash drive. I'm hungry and coffee just isn't doing a very good job, but it's relatively uncomplicated thing to order when the proclaimed speaker of the house is gone awol to a book store.

The reason for my leave of absence is not because I am bored of blogging, I've just been very much on the move lately. Haven't been in my own space for days and weeks on end.

This picture, is very special to me and I'm sending it back out there across the great blue oceans and skies:

" 'Cos all the world must know
that I loved you so..."

# courtney sux-

That is the bottom line. One of them killed one of me so I dont put it past another one of them to kill another one of me. But you only realise how badly courtney sucks when you scroll down your google contacts list and see the total opposite. staring right at you...more like looking right through you, almost asking you to just be honest. As that incredibly beautiful face stares back you know that all you want is right there on the other end of the planet.

All your past fuck ups come back to haunt you now cos all you want to give that face will never be half as honest as what that face deserves. So you sit there and plot how to rid yourself of Courtneyitis instead. Bleh. Talk about your biggest fucking mistake ye.

But there's just that look of total honesty and trust and true depth.No matter how timeless it is and how true and sincere, it is a picture still. A moment in time long ago. And that picture never stares at you but at the original artist.

Saying all that just felt ghei. But now that I have successfully removed Internet Explorer users from reading this blog through no fault of my own. I feel I have slapped Microsoft quite solidly.

# Yo' Momma aint got shit on my momma-

Of all the messed up things I've ever done. Last night was the one that will be my humiliation for a long time.So we have our ready made Saffa family iftaars...and apparently I wasn't supposed to bring anything considering time constraints and distance from knocking off at work to finally eating.So what's the joke? I didn't get the sarcasm...I spent half the day googling recipes for something "chocolate and sexy" and then left a bit early(3 hrs) from work to go and buy some very fucked up ingredients like arrowroot powder (apparently I could've used ghaas but like I'm supposed to know that) and then I made the bloody thing which gave me endless grief. All I can say is that thank god I didn't have to spend 12 hours perfecting it like the original. okay, they all enjoyed it. But then again we're pretty much garbage disposal units on legs so who knows. Chocolate is not the easiest thing to work with. The love which fills my heart now for my mother's chocolate mousse and the new found respect for my sister's ganache things.

And it makes me hate Courtney's cucumber sandwiches even more.

So while we're discussing food. My mother I think bought out the whole of Makro.And then shipped it to me. I am practically an amoeba (not in size but in singularity).

I have about 3kg of condense milk, 20 packets of Tennis Biscuits, 15 Marie biscuits, 4 kg of Cremora, 6 tupperwares full of savouries, 2 boxes each of chocolate: peppermint crisp, tex, kit kat, 2kg of dates. Thank you ma....but really....wtf am I going to do with all of this?

We get fresh milk here, I've never had condense milk ever in SA unless it was disguised in some dessert.Oh ya and 2 tins of All Gold Apricot Jam, 4 bottles of (with 15% extra free) Crosse and Blackwell Mayonnaise, a box full of the smaller all gold tomato sauce bottles, homemade atchaar, masalas, sauces,the one thing I'm thankful for though is the half a ton of Nandos sauces, good for marinading things. And then I phone to thank her for the parcel and I get told "I wanted to send you the yogurt you like and bananas but I thought it will get squashed".

Nothing will ever stop an Indian mother. How can people attempt being independent if they wont let you? Between the 6 of us this stuff is enough to last 6 months. But you'd think Britain has no food because "it's expensive to buy in pounds" wtf. It's good to know that my mum's not the only crazy on the planet...most of the SA mums do things like this. It's crazy. It's like when they buy us eid clothes and send them up for us to wear. And cry on the phone eid morning about how the "biryani is missing you"{that's not my mum btw that's Faheem's lolll}.

Fringe elements the lot of them I tell you.

Is it just me but my blog settings got screwed up? Everything is in German even on my profile so now I have to enlist the services of the only person I know who can translate it(qL ftw :) before I delete things and stuff.

Too weird.

At least that way, she may marinade something other than a cucumber with the nando's sauce.; 14 September 2007 at 22:32
