I loved dressing up like a boy and acting like one too..I tricked so many people into believing I was a guy! Back then it was all so cool nowadays though they'd prolly diagnose someone like me with something!

I was already doing newspaper delivery to earn extra pocket money going to school (grade 6 elementary).

And when I was 12, used to walk about 4 kms just to reach school (one way).

When I was 12, the Indian plate cut itself off from Madagaskar and sailed off for a date with Eurasia. I remember I sat there dressed in dino-skin with a little sail made up from skin shed by a super croc!

When I was 12 I had just hopped out of my mama’s pouch and began Chilling like a real dude dude ^.^. Started making trouble in my neighborhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared. She said "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Brisbane." I whistled for a cab and when it came near the

License plate said "fresh" and had a dice in the mirror

if anything I could say that this cab was rare

but I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to Brisbane!

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight

And I yelled to the cabby "Yo, homes smell you later!"

Looked at my kingdom I was finally there

to sit on my throne as the prince of Brisbane.

at that time, it would only be during eid, that you would find a few cars waiting at the (hand full of)signals at 9pm or past 9pm, and you would comment "There was traffic at the signals today, must be because of eid"

never liked hum log or nukkad, so dont remember much of it.

mesaieed wasnt a barren land, the industries were there and the residential area, but coming to Mesaieed to visit family friends during weekend trips used to be a major thrill, almost a picnic.

Raslaffan and khor, would have been more barren, its developed fast only over the last few years.

School picnics used to be to AlKhor part, thats it....or the zoo.
