UK

Salaams to all, nice to hear from Suleman and Ashraf...I may be on my way to the UK again, this time alone! I have been offered a post in orthopaedics starting on the 5th of August, I am just waiting for the confirmation letter before I book my tickets. Suleman, from what you say about Oz, it sounds like Kwa-Dukuza!! Hey Ashraf? Must be nice being home though... no place like it! I will be on the South coast of England, next to Cornwall... for around 6 weeks, maximum. Hope I survive...

It is nice to c that Aslam is not blogging to himself. Life in Oz is not too bad, good actually. WA is not as bad as Sydney is. It is actually very relaxed, laid back and peaceful. So Aslam, u should stop over here next time you’re on the continent. It is also very cold here now. I suppose it is as cold as JHB. Looking forward to Ashraf’s arrival and other family holiday makers.

On The Move

I'm sure by now, most of you know that we will be immigrating to Australia. Khatija and I decided to give up our flat in Durban and move to good old Stanger, now known as Kwa Duguza! We decided to spend a few months with parents before we take the plunge. It feels a bit strange living in Stanger again after being away for more than four years. There are plenty of new faces, new businesses but the CBD just doesn't seem to expand. If all goes well, Insha Allah, we will be leaving SA on the 20th November. We plan to settle in Perth, it makes sense to have family around (Ebrahim & Suleman) whilst we find our feet. So all you guys out there, leave the UK and US and start planning to visit us in Australia next year!

Brrrr....

We have been having a very cold spell here, especially for Durban. I have recorded a few very low temperatures as I drive to work, especially near Pietermariztburg. Apparently the same in Johannesburg. It has been difficult getting back to work again after the break but what can one do....

Trip to Malaysia & Australia

Alhumdulillah Saaleha and I have just come back from a holiday to Malaysia with a trip to Sydney as well. Malaysia was an amazing place to visit. The people are friendly, food is not a problem and the shopping is out of this world. It was nice to go back to Sydney after such a long time. Things have changed there, I think. There also appears to be a better quality of life there but Sydney has its own problems....cost of living, travelling, distance from family. On the way back we stopped in Langkawi which was meant to be relaxing, but with so much to see and do in a short time, we have come back needing another holiday. Alhumdulilah we made it back safe and sound. Back to work the next day...... :(

Welcome

Because I have not updated our website for, well, ages, I am going to try blogging instead. Lets see if I can get other people to use it as well.
