London

Today In what may be remembered as the most spectacular IT meltdown in history, a failed software update from a cybersecurity firm crashed countless Microsoft Windows computer systems worldwide, grounding airlines, halting banks, and hospitals, and even affecting the London Stock Exchange.

Woke up early, the messages were flying around on the work group chat, I usually would get ready for the gym but just decided to get ready for work but then did 3 sets of 10 reps of push-ups with feet on the chair, while brushed and ironed shirt.

Made a protein shake with banana, Samya, and cashews with milk. Wore a white shirt, and blue trousers, the Sun was bright out, beautiful and shining, left for work on the bike, beautiful, beautiful day.

The enormous moon is about to slip behind the building at my 11 o’clock, and there’s nothing more beautiful than this sight. as, I can hear some happy, drunk guys singing downstairs from the seventh floor.

Got to work at PS, worked a full day reviewing docs, broke for lunch around 13:40 went upto the river and had a chicken breast with some veggies and then a toffee pudding, sat under the Sun while I ate and spoke to a mate on the call for 20 min.

Brother and sis are both away on vacation to Madina, I texted bro to check if he’s got there all right, and how the weather was.. too hot there.

Back at my desk, I worked until past 5:00 PM. Last night, my dear friend and former colleague Raz texted me that she was coming to my current workplace for a startup event with her husband. We planned to meet up, so I walked to the other gate, and the three of us caught up. I was so happy to see her, and we both were thrilled. We had a quick chat.

I got back home on the bike by White Hall Guards Road, to Picadilly, and took the stairs up 7 floors, bum is getting harder. Chilled for a bit, parents are visiting SRPT, so didn’t ring them after work, a mate was going away to get a train from Canon Street to go to the seaside for the weekend to celebrate birthday, and they all booked a flat, I texted to check on him and he said I was rushing so much, but I made it and send some video the view from the train, then pix on the beach after he got there.

Around 19:20 I left home to go to the gym for a quick workout, did the upper body, 4 x sets of 22 kgs of Dumbbell presses, then bench press, lateral raises.. jumped in the shower, and walked back home. Offered 2 x rakaths of Salah-to-Jumma, then 2 x Rakaths of Salah-to-Hajath, then ate dinner Spaghetti, and Salamon, just finishing eating and bhaia bro phoned, sis was also with him, little neph was there too, neice Noush was there, we had a quick catch up.

Then I sat under the mood sitting closed eyes for a few min and now sitting down to write.

Around the world today –

  • The United Nations’ top court issued a historic ruling today, declaring that Israel must end its “unlawful” occupation of significant portions of Palestinian territory.

  • Ukraine received a hero’s welcome at No. 10 Downing Street in the UK to address the cabinet.

  • Our Planet is once again on the brink of World War III.

3 things I felt grateful for today

  • so grateful my friend from my old work has not changed, we had such a big laugh as we met.

  • grateful got some reading and preparing work to do this weekend.

  • so grateful brother arrived at my sister’s after a long journey, to spend time both families.

What would it take for me and for you to wake up 10 x times bigger, thicker, stronger, more energetic, happy, motivated, confident, healthy, wealthy, richer, wake up early, make it work out in the morning, day to go good, everything to be fine with family, friends, and everyone around then have a relaxing, relaxing, relaxing, yet a productive day tomorrow?

Goodnight, good luck!
