CIRCA 2014: THIS IS MY STORY
.
In 2014, I flew across the sea in a 26-hour journey to reach the city filled with dreamers, Los Angeles to pursue my passion for dance and to train in an academy. ✈️
.
To be honest, financially it was a rocky road being a young creative but I kept my hopes up and did what I was supposed to do, dance and live with my heart💛. Timberland has always been one of my favourite brand.
.
In 2014, a Timberland shoe was almost $169. I loved the shoes but it was unfortunate that I couldn't afford it at that time.
.
One fine morning, 2 days before I left LA, I was shopping down the streets of Hollywood and I coincidentally entered this authentic thrift shop with really good streetwear. As I was looking through, a man walked in with two Timberland boots and sold them to the owner.🤩🤩
.
It was spotless, it was iconic, it was their original yellow boots and it was in size 9 1/2. What are the odds!? That's my size too! I asked the shop owner if he had the price for the shoes he just received and he told me to come back in an hour. 👀
.
After roaming around with the hopes of getting those boots, I went back to the counter and they sold it to me for $30!
.
At that time, I didn't have a bag big enough to hold my Timbs, so I walked in them for an hour to the train station and flew back to Malaysia in them.
.
Till this very day, even after working with @TimberlandMY for years, those boots mean the world to me. I gave those particular boots to my father and it has always reminded me of our journey, sacrifices and accomplishment and seeing my dad wear it tops it all.
.
Thank you Timberland for the priceless memories.

What's your yellow boots story?

Dear my son Omar Mukhtar,
I can’t believe how time flies. I remember holding you the day you were born when your feet were just the same size as my two fingers. I was the happiest man on earth. Now we can share the same shoe size (as long as you clean & put them back after you wear mine).
I am still the happiest & proudest man on earth. I still love you as much as I loved you when you were born. You were still a shining light in my life & I shared your joy & triumphed with you when you succeeded.
But the harder part was letting you feel pain because every pain in your life will be a pain in mine too. Son, I won’t stop guiding you, providing a roadmap for you, and being the rock you know will always be there as long as I can. My first job is not to be your friend; it is to be your dad, but I still so desire to be your friend.
We have had some rough times. I want to thank you for helping me & Mrs Mom throughout those times. You were a blessing from Allah. I’m sorry you had to go through them. But I can’t tell you how much I’m proud of you for being there helping around the house & looking after Fatimah & Ali. You’ve sacrificed a lot for our family.
One thing that I’ve learnt from our difficult times is that while you may not understand the purpose of why it’s entered your life, that time can transform you into an even more beautiful creation than you already are. You are who you were, who you are now, and who you will become.
What I want you to know is that I love you so much. I always have, and I always will. Just as there is not a way to make Allah stop loving you, there’s nothing anybody can do to take away my love for you.
Happy 14th birthday, son! You are now a man beyond your age. Keep it that way! May Allah bless you, protect your Iman & keep you safe from the Fitna in the world nowadays.
Luv,
Your cheesiest dad & don’t care!

p/s: I know you might think I’m the cheesiest dad for posting this on social media (not daddy cool 😎) but I just want to show you that I’m not embarrassed to show the world how much I love you & how proud of you I am. And I don’t care what others think about this post as long as I get it to you ♥️
