What's uP?

It's my 18th day in UAE.
So far i've been relaxing and enjoying the sand for the most part of the day.
Basically, i woke up at 5am to pray fajr, and then will come online on gulfnews to check for appoinments and send resumes.
Will be online till around 8am, pray, and then will take a nap till 11am.
Then i will see what ill do for the day.
Usually will help with the dishes, and cleaning the house, the kids and a nice chat with my friend.

I went to an interview on Saturday.
It was with Samsung C&T, and if i managed to get the job, i will be one of the team in building the tallest building in the world - Burj Dubai.

I am positive that it was a good interview, but they are negotiating my salary demand. :)
Another interview was on Sunday. I went alone, to Deira.

Waited for a cab for about 10 minutes under the blazing 1.30pm sun, when finally one cab stopped. Confidently said "Al Mahtoob Road, Deira?".
The cab driver was looking at me like i am an alien, and slowly nod his head.

Sigh... The cab fare was suprisingly low, only DHs14.50. One of my friend said it might be DHs50. Well.. there is not much traffic and i was suprised as Deira is not as far as what my friend told me. Anyhow, i was super early (the interview was supposed at 3pm, i arrived at 2), made it to the right building, done the interview and try to find my way home. Well.. it was a long wait for a cab tho :)

The way home cost me Dhs24. That was because of the traffic, and ahem... i kinda didnt remember my way home. Hehehe... So i asked the cab driver (who is a Pakistani, 3months old in UAE and started to drive the cab 5days back-just my luck) to just drop me at Al TaaWun Mall, and i walked home.

so what else?
Mom and ziqi is in Medan. Hope they enjoy their vacation.
Wish i can tag along.. ehehehe

I have a long day ahead of me, being alone at home and planning to cook dinner.
I guess, if i didnt receive any call for interview today, i will go to the mall and jjcp.

May be i can lepak at the Starbucks for a while... will see...

Till next entry!

Meet Wooly, everyone


Salam.


First post from Sharjah, UAE.
After a few days, finally i got the chance to update my blog.
Im here in Sharjah, UAE. Dubai is just a few minutes away, and i am yet to tour the whole of the town.

The trip here has been smooth, alhamdulillah. The line at KLIA was long, but there is no glitch, alhamdulillah (my cargo was 30.5kg, by the way!). Had a bad time lining up to go to the transit lounge at Doha International Airport, what with my shoulder bag, and two carry ons. But things only gets better when i arrived at the Dubai International Airport. No lines, and everyone is smiling, alhamdulillah.

My friend and his daughter came to fetch me and ive been shown part of Dubai, Sharjah and Deira on our way home.

I started to miss my sisters when i was in Dubai International Airport, but i kept on telling myself that i will see them again, insyaAllah.

And i bought Wooly, third day i was here. We found her at Magrudy's, Festival city. She is so cute.. and here is a picture of her with her best friend, Flower Foot (Haleema's fav toy).

the few |ast days in msia

Well...
Bzbzbz with my preparations.
All been well and smooth last Friday, alhamdulillah.
The IDP only took me less than 10 minutes to get it done, even i wont comment much about the degree of sourness of the face of the JPJ clerk. What is wrong with me wanting an IDP? Jealous? ehehee...

And EFP has been very nice...alhamdulillah.
Managed to go to Jusco for some groceries and cooked for the kids.

Saturday was a blast!
Went to the fitting with patreena at 12.30 (promised time was 12..sowey babe).
She look gorgeous! Ill upload the picts when have sometime tomolo k..
Then we went to Sogo, she shopped for some towel, and i got myself a nice, slim travelling steam iron. :)
Then lunch at maju Junction's Deli France.
Fat called and said that he is at that area, was excited, may be he will join us for lunch, but he cancelled and went back to Damansara... hmm...

Then we went to TAR's pasar malam and search for some anti-allergys keronsang, which was a non-existance last weekend.. bumped onto Ita and Taj on our way home..

Took LRT and nisa picked me up, and we went to Jusco with Ina and Nani, to be joined later by Ita, Taj, Ammar and Joe. Had fun shoppings for some necessities... thanks Ina for the shoes!
Sat at food court and had dinner, layan si ammar and picture snappings.

Went home at 9 something, and aisyah dropped by to give me the oreos bought by Eva fr Spore and she shows me her new toy.. a 10megapixels canon.. wowieee... :)

|ast day of work

31July2008

Last day of working with cimbaviva.
Was a hectic day, from 3pm onwards.
Handover and teaching ppl things.
Im not sure why they wanna learn when its my last hours... way ppl work are weird for me, sometimes.

Sent my farewell email at 5.45pm, when almost 70% of the staff has gone for the day.
Was touched when Kavita, Ganga and Rohit came up from level 4 to 8th, to bid me farewell.
Didnt expect that the Head of Corp Strategy, Zaleha was so suprised that she spent almost 10 minutes talking to me.

Anyway, i said my goodbyes, i kissed some cheeks.
I think i made some marks in cimbaviva, i dunno. I think only la. :)

So.. what to do now... since i got only 8 days remaining till the trip?
Getting bz. My daily schedule is already packed.
Hope i can do what i wanna do without major glitch, insyaAllah.

Today- to JPJ to get my IDP, KWSP to rename my benificiary and HSBC to close an account.
Then Lunch with Anansa. Dinner with Yoke Munn.
Theres a lot of similar activities this 8 days.

Counting down to yet another adventure.
A clean break, i hope. I believe. InsyaAllah.
