First of all, Thank you to everyone who’s commented on the posts… I appreciate it, the comments actually make me want to continue with this blog, rather than just give up! lol So yeh, just a quick thank you *Acting as if i’ve won an award* Might as well say thanks to my mum as well =P Secondly, I apologise *Don’t worry I will stop saying sorry, lol* That this blog post is like 5 days late & i’ll try not to drag it on too much.

 At the end of the last post I told you guys I was going to be going to Sahiwal on Thursday (3rd July) at 10AM… Well that was the plan to start with anyway.. things never quite turn out how there planned, as they say. We had to end up getting up at 6AM to catch the 7AM coach as it was the only one, which had air conditioning in. For me the person who NEEDS plenty of sleep, it wasn’t easy to wake up so early. I was half asleep and it was so hot…I thought don’t worry I can sleep on the coach. So anyways, we got our luggage.. Dad took one of the mini suitcases n got a rikshaw *However you spell it* & Me, mum and lil sis got in car with relative who drove us there (there = the coach station). It was so busy there even with it being so early, I thought.. so this it what its like so early in the morning *Im never awake to see it* It’s weird when everyone looks at you and the fam because they seem to know your not from Pakistan. We should of put our luggage in broken boxes and maybe they might not of noticed, maybe even grow a ‘dirty’ tash lol! Sleeping on the coach was a NO NO as the driver ragged the coach so much, I swear I thought the coach was going to topple at least 10 times… crazy driver don’t even know if he had a license, probably not. On the journey, it finally hit me.. that we have so much and don’t appreciate it… I mean here I was in an air con coach *nice and cool* going past farms and agricultural areas looking at how hard people are working in such heat, sweating like no tomorrow. The amount they work is unimaginable, I really think it hit you properly when you see it in your own eyes.

We got to Sahiwal, it took 2 Hours and my mum’s older brother picked us up. As soon as I got out the coach I realised how hot it was going to be.. Faislabad was nothing compared to Sahiwal in terms of how hot it is. We went to mum’s little brothers house where we stay had ice cold drinks *7UP/Sprite all the way* after a while my cousins (8 and 12 *I think :$*) started playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City *A game for 18+* on the computer. It wasn’t a normal computer it’s a Pentium 4 comp *I didn’t even think they would exist here* and quicker than some of the computers we have at home =/ .. Pakistan has got more advanced since the last 4 years. My mum’s brother and sisters family came round and we were all just chit chatting, electricity went off in the evening, so we decided to go on the roof and relax there! It was pretty cool, we ended up eating dinner up there as well. In Sahiwal, so far just been having relatives come over and dawats and stuff. We stayed at my mum’s older brothers house for 2 days (Saturday & Sunday) the electricity went off SO much over there. Luckily, relatives houses have a thing called UPS system where it charges when there is electricity and when it switches off it gives electricity. So the fans and lights still worked, so it wasn’t TOO bad . Yesterday (7th July - Ibz Bday…Happy Birthday for the 3rd/4th time* I went to the city centre of Sahiwal and bought some Shalwakamiz’s aka Shalley Walleys lol! Girls did there shopping, standard! Taking about an hour in each shop lol.

I’d write more, but electricity might go off in 6 minutes lol… Im off to Bahwalpur tomorrow morning, going to take 4 and a half hours! Ah the joy… mum’s sister lives there *Yes, mum’s got a big family and relatives all over the world! =/ lol even Japan? =S* Going to be there for 4 days.. no net there so won’t be able to write another post until then. Hope you guys are having fun and a great summer! P.S. Theres probably a lot of mistakes but I don’t have time to read over it :$ so ‘apologies *haha*’ if I’ve not made any sense.

Take Care, Zahid
