Traveling back to Cape Town 14th September

I am going back to Cape Town. I am flying back. My friend Saajida came to fetch us and we took like a short way to the airport i don't think it's the same distance as the high way if you on there all the time. She got as there early, it was sad leaving her and we hugged each other so that i won't forget about you.

We checked in early so we walk around, and we went in to our terminal there are few shops but not so much time then we went to sit by our gate until we could board.

I was sitting by the wing and i fell asleep for an hour then i woke up. An just saw we flying above the clouds then did not sleep after that.

We landed on time and there was slight turbulence but not so bad. We were waiting for a luggage and it came out last.

My cousin came to pick us up then we went to fetch her mom when we got home we where lock out my cousin who stayed here locked the bottom of the door so we had to fetch it in Cape town
and only got home past 4

and that what happen but i arrived safely.....

Day 8 ----- 13 September 2009

It was hajierah birthday. Bilal came to fetch us at 11:00 then we went to have hasan ali hair cut. Rabia called so we went to her and greet. Then we went to Hajierah's place clearing up most of her things are coming down to Cape Town.

We left past 3 to the airport they 155kg and about 90 kgs over weight but they did not pay. It was really sad my sister was crying alot but when she left previously she never cried i think she now realise what she is going to miss

We where all sad and crying they thought the flight it's at 6 but it was delayed for nearly 3 hours. But they have arrived safely but every one is so depressed.

Day 7 --- 12 September 2009

This morning we went to the oriental plaza. My mom was not feeling well this morning. We did not not stay there to long. Then we came to my sister place and i was tired and i fell asleep. I woke up only now. Last year i was on my way to joburg. My brother in law forgot his wife birthday. That's very bad of him.

There are still lot of still alot of stuff to be packed away but every is becaming lazy.

I think we going to eat by spur last year we also went to eat at spur for her birthday.

Day 6 --- 11 September 2009

I am a week in Johannesburg. My stay was very nice and exciting but not the end it won't be nice but sad.

I was just thinking this morning that they are leaving again. And it not nice feeling, seeing them go. I would tell you guys how many times i said good bye to them already.

1. South Africa - London -
2. Syria - South Africa
3. Johannesburg - Cape Town
4. Cape Town - Johannesburg
5. Johannesburg - Senegal/ Mauritania

And how many more time would i say good bye it's so unfair every time they are taken away the kids. When i see them again they well be big and i well be old maybe married or not...

I was the whole day at my sister place. They got there passports so there no delaying. I fell asleep i think after 1 pm then i woke up at 3. It was nice just to take a nap then my niece was sleepy she just came to me and she put her head on my shoulder and fast asleep. And she still sleeping.

We are going to break fast at the people in front my sister stays at.

There is still lots of stuff to be packed a way or just to be cleared. That's the thing when you get married have kids an please settle down get a house. if you don't do this you be just like my sister just storing all her things what she can't take with...

Day 5 ---- 10 September 2009

My free day 9 September 2009

This was my free day and i could be with my friend... She picked me up at the hotel while my mother was not so happy about it anyway i just went. She asked me to have iftar at her house and i did not know what to say if i must or must not go. But i did decide to go. Anyway i went with her to Johannesburg hospital it's name is Baragwanath it's the biggest hospital in South Africa

A small introduction of the Baragwanath hospital

Those of us who have been here for a long time say you either have to be mad, bad or religious to stay at Baragwanath," says Veliotes, who currently services as one of the public hospital's eight administrators. The hospital borders the legendary township of Soweto, which was the site of some of South Africa's most memorable anti-apartheid rebellions.

After the hospital we went to Saajida patient and i was getting the idea what she really does because she was telling me and i did know what she saying. Now i know she is a care giver. We spend same time. Then we went to The Zone it's a very cool mall and the lift's i am so amazed with you press which level you want to go too out side the lift it's got a whole key pad.

Then we meet with Saj friend. I am just meeting so much guy all at the same time i have not meet so many guys before.

We went to her house and i meet her family. They are so nice warm humble people. They dropped me at the hotel... It was awesome meeting with your family and your cousin

Day 3 --- 8 September 2009

This morning we nearly over slept to eat.. of all that walking we did the previous day. we went to the Oriental Plaza it just around the corner where we stay. Then we went to Gift of Givers stayed a while there my dad had to bank money for them.

Day 1 ---- 6 September 2009

Our first night hasan ali came to sleep by us. He did not want to sleep with me. But there was a bed for him. He slept right threw until i woke up @ 3. I could not sleep after fajr not use to the bed but even ally i fell asleep until H. Ali came in the room and said i must wake up the sun is up.

Then i went to shower got dress and we went for walk in Mint road it's very quite i told my mom ask how much you must pay for the room. They same thing now and when you ask again it's completely a different thing, and clever me is always right.

The one that was there at the reception did not know anything about it then we had to pay that price for that room. so we had to move to another room.

We went to Botanical gardens there were a kids things happening. It was so warm and we went to

Pretoria. I was sleeping all the way i was so tired. We went to break fast by Bilal family in Erasmus. It was very cool the boys got Playstation 3, Xbox and Nintendo Wii.

My Journey - Day 2

The second day on the train. We went to sleep early because there is nothing too do. And i was just complaining why is this driver so slow and it made the train so delayed. But when we where sleeping it accually went faster.

I woke up at 23:00 again it was so hot and i had to take off my socks and was just took off my blanket. I evenally fell asleep again then i felt it very cold. My parent's woke up and we made our morning prayers. I did not know exactly where we are but we were going towards kimberly. We got to Kimberly 7:00 it was sun rise. We stoped there for an half and hour. And we are still 30 minutes delayed.

Just 6 more stations then in Johannesburg... But the driver did make up time but it was not engough... We finally arrived in johannesburg at 16:15 we where only delayed by 45 minutes. We got confused of witch hotel we phone too and so we went to Fordsburg Inn but that was not the one it was Fordsburg Tower...

We had Iftar by my sister place and my bro in law father brought lot's of chicken tikka and my sister also made food.

The journey - Day 1

I am only updating this now because i don't have access too the Internet.. So this is the past few days already.

My cousin brought us too the station... They are also busy with contraction work on cape town station. The train arrives on time but the engine did not and since then we where always delayed. Most of the people on the train where mostly whites..

The train is already 10 minutes delayed. i complained since i left cape town until i arrived in Johannesburg. I did not want to use my phone and in the end i did and my battery did not last.. I mostly listen to music on my IPOD.

We where at Worcester station at 16:00 and there where a lot of old people getting on i think it was like a tour for them. And it was still delayed. time just go by so fast but the train did not go fast. We where supposed too reach 2 stations already and we did not reach there. Last year we where at Lainsburg at sunset. But when we got to those 2 stations it was already dark. . That train forever is st oping they said because there where red light's. They came to put on our bedding at 18:00. it was so hot on the train. i went to bed at 8pm...

LEAVING - 04 SEPTEMBER 2009

I am leaving for Johannesburg i am going by train. I am excited but got mix emotions because i know what is going to happen. I have to say good bye too my sister, nephew and niece and that is very hard for me. Even though i did it before but you can't see your family go all the time. I always ask my self this why do they have to go? why are you leaving your family and your country? why do you want to make it difficult for you children? For kids like my nephew he is getting big and he noticing things that he is geting big. To a place and then after not a long time they take him away and that's not fair on them. Children must have a stable back ground where they know this one country, place, house they could call home. But no, that's not happening he is going from one country to the other, and the environment and life style is not the same.

Last year i went to Johannesburg the same time like i am going now.And when we left he was crying so much and he did not want too let my mom go.

Hey, but i am going anyway and if i do think about it tears just flow and it's really sad..
But i would enjoy it on the train, views and be taking pics....

i would write soon don't know when i get a chance but i have a journal that i write in and i would put it on my blog
