TOO MUCH TO WRITE, TOO LITTLE TIME
i haven't been writing for so long that i don't even know how to start. it has been a busy week definitely... my work here turns out to be quite demanding. luckily i have set my expectations very low about the possiblity of me loving my job here. but i have to say that it is not that bad at least i have ok colleagues to work with. and that's really important.
a lot of things happened during the past week that i think is worth writing about here. so i'm gonna try and condense everything in just one entry
SO HE'S NOT REALLY ONE OF US
after staying with my new roomate for about a week, i can safely conclude that he's not a plu (i wanted to say normal, but i don't think i call call him that... hahah). after frequent mentions of fasha sandha, observing his dress sense (hehehe), listening to his obnoxious guy jokes and observing the way he oogles at the local girls (which is pretty much the way i oogle at the local guys - eheh) - it's confirmed. he's not special.
MEDICAL EXAM
before your work permit is approved, you need to go through a medical exam. i had mine last wednesday. did some x ray , urine test , blood test - the usual thing. but somehow it didn't quite feel so usual this time around. perhaps it was the first time that i was taking an blood (read: HIV) test after i have engaged in some 'extra-curricular activities'. now although i am pretty sure with the knowledge that i have on AIDS, it is not possible for me to get it, i felt a bit worried. and call me crazy but it seems like my boss knew that i was a bit 'naughty' last year.. he kept on saying things like "you're sure that you don't have anything that you shouldn't have ah..." and end it with a very sly grin. he didn't say it once - he said it like 5 times. isk orang tua tu...
but anyway the test went ok. and i got my health card today - yay!
RAIN IN UAE
it rained in UAE 3 days ago. by malaysian standards - it was a mild rain. but since it's the uae - it made the newspaper headline. they had photos of school kids going to school with umbrellas on the front page. and get this - 430 something minor accidents were reported in the city because of the drizzle! (uae people should be banned from driving in malaysia). the radio deejays talked about the rain for hours and played songs like 'it's raining men' to celebrate the occasion.
my colleague said that she's been in uae for about a year and that was the first time it rained here. no wonder...
DEJA VU
i remember barely a year ago when i moved to subang it took me a while to buy stuff to make my apartment look like a home. bit by bit, i was buying things to complete it. it took me a few months. and now a few months after that, i find myself doing the same thing again. it's not fun ok - it sucks. yesterday, i got someone to fix the curtains and bought carpet for my room and a tv (i didn't watch tv for 3 whole weeks - i have to say that i'm quite impressed with myself). and there are still a few things that i need to buy before i can really call it a home (a tv cabinet is one of them, now my tv sits on the floor). i seriously hope that i have the will to stay here a bit longer. with all the capital expenditure that i'm spending - it will not be wise to go back only after a year. but i still can't imgaine myself staying here for 2-3 years.. halp....

It's a pity that your room-mate is a non-rainbowlander.... or you guys would be like horny rabbits....
By the way, hujan pun bising-bising ke? Macam kera kena belacan... hee hee

There should be a blessing in disguise. I guess what matters most now is for both of you to 'click' or else you'd have the urge to shorten the stay in Dubai. Live the life in Dubai to the fullest ar bro.. ;-)

Ditto what synchro said. Doesn't matter if your roomie is not what you want him to be. Being away from home, you definitely want a friend who's on the same page as you.
Sexy, hairy arab guys notwithstanding. Hehe !
Oh, of course I wouldnt want you to get in trouble. But, some eyecandy wouldn't hurt, right to get over boredom ??!!
Damn, I swear I'll stop with hot hairy arab guys from now on. I just can't help myself. ;p

kitjar:
oohh... don't get me started on the roomate again. urghh!!! he'll be a disgrace to us fellow rainbowlander if he was one... hehehe
savante:
still looking paul. no luck so far. it's so hard to tell here cos the guys here hold hands and kiss other men even if they're not plu. it's making my gaydar go haywire!
azlee:
how can i forget? kata2 hikmah tu.. seriuosly i think what you said effected my decision a little bit.
synchro:
'clicking' would be a near-impossible at the moment. and so is living life to the fullest - considering that i have no life at the moment. bila nak datang dubai? ;P
akihisa:
i'm not sure if he's in the same BOOK as i am... sigh.
oh btw .. there's PLENTY of eyecandy here ... hehehehe.
