After I leave Mosque, which would be after two to three long hours, I go back home and play video games on my
Playstation 3 for a while and check my emails. After a couple of hours, I head back to the high street if I’m bored. When I’m at the high street, I regularly run into family and friends.
During my day, I normally go to the Slough high street two or three times, 5 times maximum. Since I’m fasting, I try to keep myself busy with internet or my homework that I get from school which takes me at least a couple of hours,
praying which takes an hour for each of the five prayers of the day or enjoying some video games that normally have gory horror or long action through it which is really thrilling until 7 when I can eat but I’m an outgoing type of guy so I would just go to a relatives house like a cousin or uncle that I haven’t seen for a while for the day and chill out or catch up with them since they’re fasting too and have a lot of time on their hands.
Fashion is a big thing for me so I normally just wear whatever is stylish at the time. Most of the time, I don’t plan my day, I’m just thinking what next all the way through. I don’t like planning what to do like people that are always up-to-date with everything. I refuse to be one of those paranoid types of people that are always wondering what I am doing next. What should I do tomorrow? Where should I go in an hour? I always wear something I can run in comfortably. Shorts and a T-Shirt if it’s hot but if it’s a mild type of weather, I would wear something like a hoody with jeans and try to cover my body.
I don’t really have a routine day. I’m always trying something new. I had nothing to do last week, so a lot of the time I was out with mates going to places like maidenhead or Windsor and coming home late. This week I’ve been to the cinemas which something I do on a regular basis. Next week I’ve got to really revise for a test I’m having in science. In between times, I’m playing games; playing cricket; I’m on internet chatting to people that I know – I’ve just finished a cricket tournament where I was playing for Uxbridge cricket team against teams from all over Berkshire and Windsor.
Up until a month ago a lot of my time was spent at home as I had cousins over from Pakistan and Germany but now that they’re gone, I’ve got a lot of time to relax. If I go to high street I’ve sort of made it a habit to stay there all day, maybe just come home in the middle to eat something and even that is only a snack usually. When I’m at home it’s completely different to when I’m not, I behave differently. When I’m at home, I just take it easy, kick back and relax.
Lunch is usually late – about two or three o’ clock, some days. I like to have at least one meal of junk food in a week – Pizza Hut, McDonalds, KFC something like that. When I play in a match, I don’t fast because of the amount of running I have to do so I just eat a fairly heavy meal quite early and then I won’t eat again for the rest of my day unless I’m really hungry.
I don’t like to go to bed early as it isn’t really easy for me to sleep early, so I do my homework if I have any that I haven’t already done yet. I normally go to bed at 11 unless I have something to do or if there’s something I want to watch on TV. Normally when I go to bed, I don’t feel tired straight away so I just lay there listening to music on my iPod but in the end, I finally get some sleep!
