Hi everyone, happy new year :)
What has happened in your world nowadays? Mine was surprisingly very normal.
I moved to Dubai on November 27th for work. It'll be for two years, and we'll see what happened after that :D The really good part about it is I'm working in Kinokuniya Dubai; I'd most probably bump into some Johnny's fans soon. I'm working in Operation with Mr. Uramoto, who was from the Other Language section (basically all non-English books) and he was the one who ordered ALL (I really mean ALL) official and non-official Arashi related books and magazines. Now that he's in operation, he's such a darling to me; he searched for all the magazines which might possibly have Arashi/ Johnny's in it and suggested to the suppliers if they can supply it to us. Basically if you follow Yamakaze's list, we'd most probably gonna have 80% of those magazines. Naissss~
My apartment is located at Park Towers, Financial Center. Usually we'd tell the taxi driver it's the building beside Index Building and they'd know. It's 7 minutes walk to the Dubai Mall where I work. My place is not big at all; it's basically one entire space with kitchen and bathroom and a balcony. We can't see the Burj Khalifa building because the Index Building basically make it impossible for any building behind it to have the view *sigh* I'd say that's good marketing strategy xD I share this place with Nora who is also from Malaysia and she has been working here for the past 4 years? Maybe I can be here that long too... who knows~
I did not have internet connection for 2 months before I got here, and yesterday was the first day I officially got online. I miss everyone. Everyone on my f-list. I know I have not talk to most of you for the longest time, and some of you might have defriended me, and I'm ok with it. Staying in Dubai made me realize I missed this side of my life. I was so busy with work in 2011-2012 and that's most probably the reason why I decided to resigned last May. I took this job mostly because I believe this would help me become active here again. This journal started out as a dummy and it has evolved with each passing year. My biggest involvement here is also linked to AST, and I realized last year that my life and AST is very dependent on each other and I felt guilty for neglecting it for so long. I made it my new year resolution to start again with AST as how I have started again with my life. I hope I'd get the support I need m_m
I need sleep badly now, since it's 7.29am and I have not sleep at all. Blame it on the internet xD There are a lot of exciting things happened for the last 2 months that I've been here, and maybe I'll be conscious enough to write them down tomorrow ^^;;;
And, I plan to visit Northern Africa, France, Belgium, Holland, Finland and the UK while I'm in Dubai. If you're in any of these countries, maybe we can finally meet!
