Cameron Highland...

Dear Hubby is currently in Cameron Highland on work basis... Does he miss me as how I miss him??

swing mode ...

Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small town, never looked back
I was the flight risk with the fear of fallin'
Wonderin' why we bothered with love if it never lasts

I say "Can you believe it?"
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes I can see it now

Do you remember when we're sittin' there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

But we've got bills to pay,
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take yes, yes
This is what I thought about

Do you remember when we're sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Oho oho oho

And I remember that fight 2:30 AM
And everything was slippin' right out of my hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye
Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone
You said...

I remember how we felt sittin' by the water
And every time I look at you it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine

Hold on
Make it last
Hold on
Never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Hold on

Yeah, yeah do you believe it?

Hold on
We're gonna make it now.
Hold on
And I can see it yeah, yeah
And I can see it now, See it now, See it now

Emirates Palace Hotel at night...

medical checkup..

Today I have to do my medical check up in order to apply for the labor card. It is not so easy to enter and work abroad ok people.. After the immigration had stamp my visa, now I had to do my medical check up. The result of the medical check up will be out in 2 days time.  I went to Abu Dhabi Hospital with Dost (a Pakistani) the company driver.

Guess what?! I told him to speak Urdu with me coz I did not talk Urdu for such a long time. I did not want to loose that language after how hard I had learned it. The journey is quit far so I had the chance to talk and talk in Urdu with him. Then he commented, “Your Urdu is good. You can understand 90% of it..” huhu I think he is exaggerating as my Urdu is not that good.. =)  

Then we reach the hospital. There is a special section for the ladies. All of the staff and  doctors are women.. It is so cool!! All of the staff is wearing the black abaya. There is also some of them who cover their face while working.. (It is called niqab if im not mistaken…) the service is good and fast.. There is no TV or music being played in there. I just love the working environment. It is so relax.. Most of the women that do their medical check up are the Philippine. At this time, im feeling im like the Indonesian working in Malaysia.  

First I have to pay Dhs250 for the medical check up. Then I have to do the eye screening. Then I have to line up to see the doctor. She is a nice lady.

Doctor: Are you married or single?

Tim: (Im I Married? Huhu sometimes I can forget my status as we are far apart and still newly wed) yes Im married

Doctor: Are you pregnant?

Tim: No (As soon as possible and loudly) huhu

Then I have to go to the other room for the blood test.. oh I really don’t like this part. Ok then the blood test is also done, I have to wait for the x-ray test.. All together I have to go to 5 different sections. Then it is done and the staff told me that the result will be out in 2 days time.  

Then on the way back to the office, we chat again in Urdu!!  Later, Dost take me to eat at this Pakistani restaurant in Mussaffah. But later we decided to take away. He bought for me the food with 3 type of dish (chicken, mutton and fish). Im so touch with his kindness. He told me that he did not have the chance to take me to eat. (The Arab culture is popular in term of serving their guest. They really honored their guest) When we reach at the office, he told me that my Urdu is 99% good.. He is exaggerating again..

P/s: while im writing this blog, Dost is telling Reem (the Egyptian receptionist) how good my Urdu is.. huhu oh Dost!! (In Urdu, Dost mean Friend) im so happy today coz I can practice my Urdu after 6 years I left that language… hope that I can improve my Urdu within this 4 months.. I want to practice my Arabic too!! Who want to speaks Arabic with me? Maybe Reem?? 

one fine weekend..

1. my total view page is already 1013 in just 40 days?!! cant believe this.. hope to know my readers... or is it me who always open my own blog?? huhu

2. is this for real??? we had be knowing each other for 2 years??!! time flies so fast!!

Muscat or Oman??

In the airport..

The officer: Are you going to Muscat?

Passenger: No, im going to Oman

The officer and people near by: Laugh out Loud…

P/s: Muscat is a city in Oman.. huhu.. Did you get the joke??

Abu Dhabi-Muscat-Abu Dhabi in a day..

Yesterday I went to Muscat, Oman coz my visa had problem. (Still remember bout that? I had mention in my previous entry).. The flight is at 1.30pm. We reach airport at nearly 12noon.. While waiting, these are some picture that took at Abu Dhabi International Airport.. The airport is so beautiful. But it is still under a major construction work..

Soon, it is time to board the flight.. This flight took us bout 1 hour to reach Muscat. We are flying with Oman Air They also serve some food for us. I remember, with Airasia, everything is not free.. But can we compare Oman Air and Airasia.. Not a suitable competitor I guess... The scenery from the top is marvelous.. Here are some pictures..

Than we landed at Muscat international airport at about 3pm. The things here are quit expensive if we convert into UAE Dirham. 1 rial oman = 10 uae dirham. So, we decided to just stay in the airport and wait for our flight back to Abu Dhabi. There is nothing much at the airport.

I brought a novel with me, so im occupied in reading it.. Suddenly, I just feel like miss Dear Hubby.. =( you know when we are reading the romantic novel and we are involved with the characters.. huhu.. Dear Hubby, Lovely Wife is missing you la..

Later, before the departure time, I bought a pictorial book about Oman. It cost me RO18.5 or Dhs185. Will mention about this in another entry.. Then it is the time to go back.. when we landed in Abu Dhabi, I have to do eye screening and to settle bout my visa..soon, by 10pm, everything is settled..

Owh, did I mention to you that I have to carry this heavy beg with food stuff in it?! It is so heavy!! Lucky we did not go out from the airport. Otherwise, I think im going to break my back bone. We brought a lot of food but only eat a bit..  When we got home, im so exhausted. My whole body is in pain.. I just go straight to the bed and sleep soundly..

I think my beg is Soo super duper heavy is coz I took a lot off the free magazines at the airport.. =(

free stuff..

Abu Dhabi is a very rich country I guess.. they always provide free magazine for the public.. below are some example that I can observe..

all these are free in the airport.. you can take as many as you like.. i only took 4 of them..

this one come with one of the newspapers on saturday.. again for free..

this one also come with the other national newspapers.. also for free..

this mag is available at the mall.. it is publish weekly and also for free..

personal collection..

I love books.. so I decided to buy books from various places that I go to. All these books are quit expensive but it will sure benefits all. hope that I can show to my kids later on.. "mummy had been to all these places..." (although just at the airport..huhu )

hindi movie..

tomorrow is a holiday. I had nothing to do tonight, so I decided to watch a Hindi movie.. I choose to watch "we are family" by karan johar..

I did not know that this movie is a sad movie.. had been crying a lot while watching it.. luckily im alone in the room, other wise, it will be quit embarrassing to cry while just watching a movie!!

all of you should try to watch this movie too.. don't forget about the tissue!!

Malaysian Business Award 2010

Hi dear readers,

My internet connection is problem again. So there is nothing much that I can do.. How are you? Hope that all of you are in the best of health.

Last night I went to the Malaysian Business Award 2010 that was held at Shangri la Dubai. Guess what?! I feel so honored that I got this life time opportunity to attend such a prestigious dinner. We arrived nearly 6.30pm if im not mistaken. It took us almost an hour to reach there from Abu Dhabi. But I guess, Mehran (the driver) drives fast too, that’s why we reach quit fast. Mr. Allan the CEO was not here, so Mr. Phoon is the representative CEO from our company for that night.

The hotel is marvelous!! It is lavish and looks exclusive. All of the attendee was the top level management from various Malaysian Company in UAE. When they meet each other, they will start to exchange their business card. The VVIP for this night is the Minister for Foreign Trade UAE, H.H Sheikha Lubna.

Soon the event started. There are speeches here and there. Soon it is the turn of the VVIP to say few words. I’m speechless.. I thought that she is a he?! I though the minister is a man and actually she is a very simple lady.. And she looks young too. Her speech is the best!! When I say the best I really mean it!! Just want to hear she speaks and speaks.. =)

Then is the award giving. There are various award and winners.. Pembinaan SPK Abu Dhabi won the Malaysian construction of the year (for the UAE)!!! Feel so proud when they announce the company’s name.. =)

Later, it is the time that everyone waiting for!! (Especially me) it is time to eat.. There is a lot of food and I think I had tasted all of it. Not to mention that I eat 3 plates ok.. I don’t care if people are staring at me as I keep on going outside to take more food.. it is buffet style..

Then they have the lucky draw. And the prices are 5 electrical stuff from KHIND and also a return ticket from Dubai to Malaysia sponsored by MAS. SPK teams are not lucky enough as we did not manage to get any of the prizes.

I went to the toilet later and took picture of it… (Nice lor with good smell) owh did I mention that I take pictures with the Minister? I think I am the one that start the crowd of taking pictures with her. At first no one was there taking picture with her. I just went to her and ask if can take picture with her. She is so friendly and simple. Not even a make up and only a simple black cloak. Just love her personality. After I started to take picture with her, people start to do the same. After realizing that the picture taken just now was shaking, I go back again to take another picture.. Does it sound like the real tim?? hehe (for those who know me, they will understand it perfectly)

The only thing that I regret is that I did not tell her how nice her speech was for that night. =) if I said that to her, maybe she will asked me to work with her?? Hehehe.. daydreaming.. LOL

We went home at about 10pm and reach Abu Dhabi at 11pm. Though out the journey, I just sleep… tired eating I guess… =)

P/s: did not know why this entry is a bit too long..
