Sorry, I'm late.

Heya everyone! Just so you all know, here I am in Germany. Urgh..I miss Malaysia. Well, I arrived on the 8th of September, but couldn’t get access to the net till last Friday..blehh..blame the internet tutor. Anyway, the air is dryer here, sunny, and yeah, COLD. Still not used to the weather, but I think I will just need some time to get used to it, I hope. Coming here is kinda different for me. Food's different, weather's different, people walking on the streets are different, and the language, yeah...language is different. People here can speak English but they somewhat refuse to. Their style. But the younger generation Germans here are ok. They speak to you in English. Probably more open? Liberal? I don’t know.

So, I’ve just got my room, the administration stuff is almost settled, and I’ve got a telephone number too from O2. Apparently O2 is good but I don’t know why. Probably the coverage in Germany is good. I did some grocery shopping and noticed that shops here close by 8pm. That’s early as compared to Malaysia. Another thing is that shops are not open on Sundays. Sigh. Eateries, petrol kiosks, and boutiques are the only shops open on Sundays. Well I guess the people here are rich enough to not open for business on Sundays. This is how things go in Germany, which I will have to get used to.

By the way, here are some random pictures of Abu Dhabi. Well, I was at Abu Dhabi for a couple of days (4th-8th of September) visiting daddy. And mommy joined daddy. So the house in Malaysia is now occupied by my cousin, his wife and his little kid. Anyway, Abu Dhabi is a fekking hot city. Seriously hot. Just step out of an air conditioned building and feel the heat wave. It’s bad. I thought I was about to get a sun stroke while hailing a taxi under the scorching heat and during the night, it’s still hot and humid till it’s difficult to breathe. Oh by the way, taxi rates here are far cheaper as compared to the rates in Malaysia. That's probably because buying a car in Abu Dhabi is not too expensive.

Picture of Burj Dubai . Yeah its blur, because it was dark and the camera's shutter speed was really slow.


Highway with five lanes.


A random picture of the city.


Another random picture of the First Gulf Bank.


Century Hotel Apartment. This was the place where I stayed.


Familiar eyy? Yeah, Chilis in Abu Dhabi. Chili's here is better than the Chili's in Malaysia. I don't know why, but yeah, somehow it is.


If I've not mistaken, this is Khalidiyah Mall. Another random pic. (Mummy and daddy on the left)


Construction site.


Another construction site picture.


Feel the HEAT?? *swt*


Sales office.


Notice the cranes in the background? It's kinda blurry, but there are fekkin many of them, if you pay attention.


That's all for now.

Hey Giju, heard you are going to Russia? All the best and see you at Red Square!
