For the first time, I walked around with my face totally unshaven of 4-5 days now, and my hair curly and uncombed. I wore a pair of shoes that doesn’t match the shirt I was wearing at all. I was in office wear, tucked out. I think I looked really shitty but it was alright. After Sydney, I came home with an acne breakout so that didn’t help out either. Dina helped herself with the ‘blackhead remover’ and I think went a bit overboard. I did say “knock yourself out”. Now my face has red patches all over. Do I look sad or do I look poor? Do I look sad and poor? I was broke, I admit it. Just now I’ve gone for an almost crew-cut do, but it’s really short now anyway. I think I badly wanted a fresh look. I shaved my moustache but I’m keeping the beard and the joining sideburns. I think it’s alright. I’m wearing lenses now. That’s a change, yeah?

Yesterday was the first time I broke my fast in town. The boys said to meet at 6pm. There is no way you can get a table at the Chinese Muslim places if you come at that time. So Hakeem and I went to book.

Eh be right back.
