1 more month before I return!

Hi Pple,

So how are all of you?

Let me tell U a very ti siao incident lately.

That night, I went to watch Portugal vs Germany in Dubai at a place called Irish Village.

When my colleagues and friends enter the place, I was stopped by the bouncer.

Bouncer: Hey, can you show me your ID?

I was so worried at that time, this is because I left my IC and passport in hotel.

The only ID I have left is my Ezlink.

So I just gave him my Ezlink.

Ter: Sorry, I am from Singapore. I did not bring my passport. This is the only ID I have left. But what is the problem?

He just said a word.

Bouncer: Age.

I almost laugh my brains out at the moment. This is because some of my friend who were younger than me has passed.

So after looking at my ezlink, he let me pass.

Then I went to ask my colleagues about the age limit here.

Ter: What is the age limit?

Colleague: Oh yah, they are quite strict here. Its only for 21 years and above.

I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad.

Another incident about my age also occur during my office celebration of my birthday. (YES, MY OFFICE GAVE ME A SURPRISE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION)

They prepared 2 cakes but the cakes only had 16 candles. Everyone started to ask about my age after looking at the cakes.

I said “16, shown on the cake.” But I also ask other to guess. And the result is 19,20. haha.. so funny.

Don’t know what they will guess about mendi’s age.

Okok… here are more photos.

Al Qasba. The only place in sharjah that shows EURO2008. But the commentary is in arabic. (Anyway, the longer you are here, the more you appraciate Arabic. I know how to look at numbers 0 to 9. haha... its important if we go shopping!)





Another picture on Burg Al Arab, with me and my other SMU interns.



And here is their livestock pasar malam. When pple buy the goats, sheeps or cow... seriously, I saw them just putting the animals in the car boot and left. Just imagine under a heat of 40 degree and in the car boot, bet the goat is cooked even before the car reach the destination.






That's all.

Anyway cannot wait to go back to singapore sooner. My body still cannot seem to adapt to the country after so long. Have been sick twice since i came here despite my healthy lifestyle here.

See ya soon.
