Z is for zebra crossing

So we are finally here, at the end of the challenge and it has gone quick! Z is for zebra crossing, I would have loved to take a photo of a zebra but don't think we have any in Leicester haha so zebra crossing it is! This isn't any old zebra crossing though, I have crossed this zebra crossing many times from 2005 to 2009 as this was where I crossed over to enter the Fletcher Building which is the Art & Design department of De Montfort University ( Leicester, England). I studied a National Diploma in Art & Design and BA Honours Graphic Design in that building and I have many fond and stressful moments there, I do miss that place!

Y is for yoga..ommmmm

Ive been doing yoga over a year now, every Mondays for an hour and a half at a neighbourhood centre, I find it very relaxing and I always feel like I have stretched every part of my body, I have become more flexible now too, before I couldn't touch my toes without bending my knees but now I can! The pictures include the yoga class meditating at the beginning of the lesson and then exercising their legs and our yoga teacher, Ashok, who looks very good for a man in his 60s!

X is for Xmas!!

Xmas is the time to get together with family and friends and celebrate life and show how much we appreciate each other by buying presents and spending quality time with them! My sister and her hubbie would come over to stay for a few days, cousins will come and we'll have a good catch up! Last xmas we played Family Fortunes and it got very competitive! I get excited over decorating the tree, buying and unwrapping xmas presents, xmas dinner, getting to wear my xmas top and just being in the festive spirit! Yes i'm a big kid when it comes to Xmas!



W is for Waterfall

In summer 2004, when I was 17, me and my family visited my mum's brother in Toronto, Canada. I had a amazing time, my family are lovely over there, I liked how spacious the houses and roads were and how clean it was. Got to see some amazing attractions like the CN Tower, Wonderland theme park and Niagara Falls! I knew the falls would be big, but not that big! It was such a eventful day what with the tourist shops and restaurants nearby and people from all walks of life coming together to see this wonder of a giant, perfectly curved-shaped powerful waterfall.

V is for videotape

Who remember these big rectangular tapes!? I used to love recording films from the telly onto videos and labelling the videos and sticking cello-tape on the videos so you couldn't record over it. Most of my videos are homemade videos of family parties and weddings, we have captured some funny moments! My bro has stacked videos away in the cupboard and has forgotten about them! Its all about DVDs and Blue-rays now, you can watch a film on the internet too, no more fast forwarding or rewinding! Oh how times have changed!

U is for Undertaker

My childhood days involved playing out with my neighbour, playing games, watching cartoons, colouring away, playing footie n tennis with bro and watching wrestling with bro and dad.

I remember the outrageous outfits and long curly hair with funny looking face paint and masks and what did the women wear! Not much! I also remember I was disappointed when I found out it was all fake and that they weren't really getting hurt..whaaat!

My fav wrestlers were Brett the Hitman Hart, Shawn Michael ( loved his intro song 'sexy boooooy!') and Undertaker!! He was so scary and haunting, the music, lightning effects, darkness and eyes rolling back in his head, it all added to the suspense!

T is for TV

Tv time is me time, when my mums not watching her crappy dramatic indian dramas, time to chill out and watch crap or something educational or just some entertainment! I like to watch the BBC News most mornings whilst having brekkie with Bill Turnbull and Susanna Reid!
