Ottawa to Dubai - In Dubai

I know I've been missing in action for a while now.

Just like I do every few months, I had to catch a flight to Dubai on the 17th of last month.

My parents plan on moving to Dubai for good sometime next year when our villa there is completed. At the moment though, we live in its neighboring emirate, Sharjah, because that's where my dad works.

Contrary to what most might think, I haven't been blogging because I've hardly had time to sit down and write since I've gotten here, and it's not because of my extremely lazy-to-the-point-of-being-debilitating nature.

My mom, dad, and myself have been busy going around doing all sorts of things because we just moved into our own place here in Sharjah.

Because it's a new place, and because we didn't bring a single item of furniture (as well as other household things) from our old place, it's like starting all over again.

It's a lot of fun, no doubt.

But it's also very tiring, time consuming, energy sapping, and downright frustrating at times.

We got most of our furniture custom made, according to what we had in mind for each of our rooms.

I picked out the theme and colours for my room, as well as my sister's, who is still in Ottawa, and couldn't be bothered to tell me what it was that she wanted done to her room.

Not to brag, but our rooms turned out pretty neat, so all those hours spent figuring out every little detail with the interior designers finally paid off.

I'll be back, with more details of what I've been up to here.

Till then, take care,
