Never thought I'd ever leave Singapore to make a living in a foreign country. Never thought songs like Sudirman's "Balik Kampung" or the phrase "pulang ke desa" would ever mean anything to me. I know it's super early to be listening to Hari Raya songs but it's getting me so pumped about heading back to SIN. It's like a race to finish my flights and to finish my course and pack my bag and go! Do I make staying in Dubai miserable? It's miserable if you're here during raya! Sorry to peeps who can't go back... Insyaallah nxt year!

Novelty of Raya still high on my ranks possibly cos it's the only time I can catch up with majority of friends and family. My nephew Euan unfortunately will be in Adelaide finishing his final year. You are cetainly missed dude! Come back as a graduate!

What am I doing up at 7am DXB time? Truth is haven't slept! hehe... Intentions of picking up GFs from flight but it was half achieved. Got niza's flt arr wrong... :P hahah... But it was nice to catch up with Alvi, the traveller, on the journey to her home.. She's leaving us to go to BKK and SIN... Crazy girl! Certainly been enjoying spending time with them. As time passes, there's only a certain group of pple you can really click with and the rest become acquaintance. Even certain close frens can be downgraded to that level sometimes. People who you thought understood what you mean or why you do certain things, but other times it's just off. I'm not the sort of person who confronts situations, but sometimes I wish I would. What if I start? Will things be better? Hmmm....

Oh well, when I'm heading home, I'll be catching up with my family and friends who have been there for me and who knows me! Can't wait....

Third time I'm fasting here in Dubai and it's been quite good. I've got new found friends and old ones to accompany for iftar so that I don't feel so lonely. likey likey... Haven't had a SIN flt in 2 mths but there has been lotsa blessing behind this misfortune. Sheereen has finally passed her driving test after taking it a numerous number of times... but considering the recent accident(s) she's had, she believes that the success might have been a fluke. Shan't describe to what extent the damage was made shall be kept in the circle of trust. :P

First day of Ramadhan, I had an eye infection which had me tearing up suddenly and me resulting in calling in sick. But got udang sebalik mee cos at the stroke of midnite, miss Surya spent her leave to see us. That evening we buka at Aniza's place. Aniza made a fishball soup proving that she can cook and Audrey's BF naser cooked his own style a treat from algeria. I haf to invite them for iftar one day to but... what shall i cook! Hehe... The subsequent days we ended in Tony Roma's 2 nights in a row! Niza's BF came for a visit and he has said that the reason he came to Dubai is not to see niza... but to have ribs... that's love man! Hehe... jangan marah niza! Surya and I had a blast... kita kan ader "kereta" jalan2 was quite a breeze... we did surya's 101 things to do list... which at the last minute grew and made it impossible to complete! Nonetheless, her visit was fun and greatly appreciated. Looking forward to many holidays to come!

I have a new Korean flatmate who just arrived a week ago. My previous Thai flatmate kept to herself most of time and this one is so different. She invited us to haf dinner together and stuff which is cool. Hopefully it will be a start to a great friendship. I am missing everyone at home but keeping myself at this major task at hand which will be due in 2 weeks! Please pray for me... And when that is over... BALIK KAMPUNG! 2 words I never thought I'd say before I came to Emirates!
