It being my semester holidays, from my stint in psychology, I finally decided to take a vacation and visit my mum. Passport was renewed, tickets were booked, and I was soon midair on the way down to the Middle East, a place I hadnt been in over 10 years. Finally touching down after a pleasant 7 hour flight, I finally reached Abu Dhabi International, The smaller equally prosperous cousin of the Bankrupt Dubai.
My first surprise of the night was that Maxis did not have international roaming out here, or that my assumption being that my package was post-paid and roaming would be automatically covered was non-withstanding. So this morning it was off to the mobile shop to get a prepaid sim. It cost a bomb, The simcard it self was DHS 75. With credit of $ 10 contained within. The irony is that we bitch and whine over telcos in Malaysia.
Truthfully the 4 hour time difference is a nice touch. Since Malaysia is 4 hours ahead, Even if I theoretically wake up mid day, Its still early morning over here. Thats a nice touch, however I can imagine the havoc its going to wreck when i get back to KL.
I feel as I'm going to start perusing the local cafes. With only 2 weeks, Theres much to explore and to discover. Sadly withouth bringing a proper camera along, I'm resigned to taking camera shots. Oh well thats better then nothing right.
It's been months since I've actually last pasted in an entry. Frankly, I wouldnt even apologise for such. =)
Why I'm even beginning this post, Im hesitant even unsure of. But I guess everybody, myself included needs a place where I can jot down my thoughts as a rhetoric, so I may reflect on particular moments and thoughts well down the road. This is probably the umpteenth such post and can be guaranteed wouldnt be the last, as I have a knack for putting things off. However I guess its always better to atleast attempt to ride a bike rather then fully give up hope on it.
