Finally after so many weeks of shifting, cleaning, shopping etc etc. I have so call finally settled into my new apartment. I am now staying at the Al Barsha area, which is about 10 mins drive to work with smooth traffic condition and 45 mins drive with traffic jam, and trust me most of the time I end up 45 mins in the car. It’s a pretty nice one bedroom apartment fully equip with gym, pool, steam bath etc, but I will not go to the pool, as there are a lot of construction going on here. So those workers high up there will have a ‘bird eye view’ of what’s happening at the pool, therefore in order not to create any commotion, best to stay out of pool… hahahaha…well I do catch a good glimpse of the pool from my balcony… heehee..
Other then that, the daily wake up call from the construction just opp my apartment will be my wake up call, 630am without fail. Only consolation out of this is I can once a while enjoy my wine at my balcony with a nice view of the Burj Al Arab 7 star hotel and occasionally sea view if the sky is clear. Well I can also monitor the work progress of the construction from here, hahah.
Next on my list of things to do is to grab a nice low coffee table and rug for the living room, my TV is finally coming this Saturday after many weeks of waiting for them to arrange for delivery, sick, in Dubai all is wait and wait, and talk about waiting I went to the Karama post to pick up a parcel sent by my monkey friend in Korea, took me 30 mins to get out of the place. They wanted to charge me 350 DRH for storage charge for a week for a small tiny winy box, of course I refuse to pay and make a big fuss all the way to the manager whom seems to take sides on his people, but the moment I mentioned that I don’t want the parcel and he can have it sent back, he back off. So when he finish with his Arabic talk, he turn around smiling saying it’s a miscommunication.. ya right! My foot. Anyway I just glad to be out of the place. So monkey don send things to me liao ok.. please send it to Singapore to Ms Pig at Whampo ok??
