17 more days to Singapore

Found that she's been doing alot of counting down this year. And probably more so for the next 1 year. For it is for the better, happier moments.

Singapore is now like the HOLIDAY DESTINATION. Its always human. The closer you are to somewhere ideal in your dreams, its always not the place that you end up visiting. She's close to Turkey, Greece, Athen..and even long haul flights is now only 6 to 7 hours away..London, Europe..But it seems Singapore is still much better..Maybe it all matters is where people are.

Workplace has been a evil place to be. In fact, it feels like Bollywood. She hasn't been watching TV for 3 mths soon, yet there's always drama going on..and some case, stupid idoitic drama that..Well..Tired to say...And thank god there are nice people around. But yes..this place sucks.Have not been anywhere as sucky as this can get. Days can get real bitchy and...yes its very fucked up place.

But she's taking Syafiq's advice to create a "own environment". Its comparable to working in your little own air bubble and be somehow cut out from the rest of the shit that is floating around. Somedays it just make you feel like squeezing and shouting at somebody. Anyway..I will still try to be positive and I'll still be back here...For the sake of herself really. For the better, brighter and happier future.

And for the moment..she is very thankful to all the special ones that makes her inner soul feels so much better. If not some days really feels like shit..

Winter is here in Dubai

Hey folks. Guess what. Its the starting of winter here in scorching Dubai!

Been very cooling for the pass few days it the night. But today it feels cool even at 3pm when she went down lunch with Immanuel. And we were happily sitting outside the Indian shop at the mosque opposite office when she witness the sand stirred up infront of the sandy carpark, and she was so amazed and thought what happened..so as she looks down the pack of Sheik Zeyed Road..wohooo...the sand was stirred up from everywhere and to describe how it look likes in a tropical context-heavy rain. Yes I'm sounding like a mountain mushroom but its amazing works of nature.

11 November 2008

Somedays it makes you wonder..if having everything you wishes for..or more than what you have expected to be at this stage of life..actually makes you happier?

Would it have been better if I wasn't here..Would it been a better choice back at home? Closer to people who makes you life all that better, all that easier..

But if I'm home, will I get the chance to do all these things that I'm doing now? But then again, for all the anger and the frustration...is it worth it?

For the future, as far as she think, maybe its worth it..and she just have to try to hold on..and bear with all those..ups and down..Hate to say that, but probably be driven by the extensive amount that can be saved up for "future building"

7 November

Hmm..Its just one of those days she just feel so so bored and alittle sad..and just wanna talk...she just unreasonably wants everything she wants...and feels the insecurity..hmm.

Another Sunday

This is another Sunday night spend rushing for presentation on the next day. Lost count of presentation we've been doing so far. Well nowadays it is once or twice a week of mad rush and then it get a little less rushing.

Oh well..finally after about 6 weeks, she's finally gotten a place call home! Defination of a home now is a place she can start unpacking and stop living out from her suitcase. Well..she's still staying at the used-to-be temporary apartment. Fond memories there..though it has been few weeks already that we hasn't met, it still feels like you were around. Objects reminds people of the past. But besides that, she's too lazy to think of moving, cleaning and all those dust fighting..and moving things in the heat.

And well, yesterday the 4 of us, Immanuel, Derrick, Nee and I went to Ikea to finally pick up things with peace of mind and not just thinking about the basic survival, but also some items to spice up or help make home a better place. Humble, simple and liveable.

Buddha Bar

Dinner sponsered by company to take a look at the interior which is the "IN" place to hangout in Dubai. Food are expensive. Taking an exchange rate of 2.6, calculate this:

Tom Yam Soup-40DHS

Steamed Rice-20DHS(which we can almost get a week supply of 5kg rice in the market)

Manchurian Prawn-Can't remember, about 140DHS?

Lemon sorbet 1 scoop-18DHS

Excellent ambience which reminds her of the Shintori in Shanghai. Food is nice, especially her long missed Tomyam soup...yes definately it have to be nice based on the fact that it is about 18SDG for that bowl.. Lucky company paid for that. Alrite..photos shall speak alittle of what's in there!

Might be coming back in December if my leave is approve..I'll find time for everyone!! Till then, take care!!

TOMYAM SOUP & I MISS SEAFOOD !!

A long way more

Office related stuff are not at the best here. She've not moved to a fixed lodging yet, though already comfortably staying in the temporary one. Things that she hate is happening. She doesn't believe that she is actually looking for motivation, advice and confiding in someone she wished so much that she was working for. Some things now does not make sense. Good projects, good housemates, known some people from the partnering company.

However, what that was supposed to be good, ie office management blah blah..argh. Money spent unwisely, words that are twisted..all those trust that people need isn't there. Let's not spoil the morning today by reminding how sucky it can get to. Not sure how long more she's gonna stay. Wait till bonus? And that will be about another 14-15 mths..

Anyway, some of the nice moments amidst all the..hmm.. Nevermind.

Here are some photos taken at the beach in Jumeira..Pictures are only happy photos of the housemates.
