After a weekend of eating out for almost every meal, I just wanted to stay at home and relax. After a trip to the supermarket and then the gym on Sunday morning, I came home, showered and got into my pajamas. I intended to spend the day bumming around the house. I caught up with …
I woke up on Sunday feeling like hell. I eventually got out of bed at noon, but only because I’d been invited to lunch at 1pm. I made my way to Tresind at the Radisson Royal on Sheikh Zayed Road. I don’t really go out to eat at Indian restaurants and I’d been to Mint …
After going to the gym on Sunday morning, I decided to take the rest of the day off. I’d done quite a bit of work over the weekend and felt like switching off for a while. I had a facial at Dermalogica in the Dubai Mall (I’d booked it the previous week). I’ve been going …
I had a busy week with work and most of my plans to attend Art Dubai went out the window. I had a session with Trevor on Sunday and then decided I was going to finally open my new laptop! Later that day I went to Spa Zen at the Radisson Royal for a massage. …
What a busy week! I had my usual work and gym sessions but it was also a very social week… After my session with Randy on Sunday morning I went to the airport to meet a friend from London who was on his way to Riyadh. He’d been in Abu Dhabi for work and his …
After my session with Randy on Sunday morning, my parents suggested that I sort out my PIO card. I’d been putting this off for one reason or another but my parents were insistent that I sort it out. Ugh. Mum and I went to a typing centre at Al Khaleej Centre. I don’t know why …
Again, I had Arabic every morning from Sunday to Wednesday – we covered: How we find life in Dubai – easy, fun, boring, etc Whether our friends are local or foreigners How to say sentences such as: I see you, he sees me, she helps them, and so on More verbs After my class I …
I didn’t have a session with Randy on Sunday as the schedule for my Arabic classes for the week had changed. There would be three classes instead of two – on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Sunday we covered: What our jobs are (engineer, lawyer, teacher, psychologist, freelancer, etc.), where we work (private company, Government, …
What a week! After my usual session with Randy on Sunday morning I met up with a friend for lunch. We thought we’d try Fuego, the new Mexican place at Souk Al Bahar. We got there a little after 2pm and apart from one other table, we were the only people in the restaurant. We …
I got back from Vietnam late on Monday night. I was home by about 2.30 but chatted with my mum for a while before passing out. I can’t remember the last time I was so tired. I would have gladly spent all of Tuesday in bed but had a piano lesson that afternoon! I also …
