I know this post is long overdue. I've been residing here in my "new home" for more than five months now and I am only doing this now. A lot of things already happened in the past months I've been here, met a lot of different people, learned a few Arabic words, became thin and fat again(sad!!!), been through ups and downs at work and my personal life, laughed and cried my heart out, but I chose to stay silent. Anyhow, late is better than never, right?
First up, I am now residing in a foreign land, a land of deserts and sandstorms and dates and chai (tea) and sweets and sheisa, a land with extreme weather, summer that gives its 100% to try to burn you and raise your blood to boiling point and winter that does its best to freeze you, that is Kuwait.
Yes, I've learned quite a number of things in my span of five months here. That "salamat" means "get well soon" and not "thank you" and "mahal" means "store" and not "expensive", to name a few. But no, I don't know how to write or read Arabic that's why I rely so much on Google Translate when I send text messages to a "sadik" (friend) of mine. Take note that I only type the Arabic words here based on how I hear them being said. ;-)
So, how am I? Basically I am fine. I came here to work and I am fulfilling it, thank You, my Lord. Aside from that, I am also able to fulfill my church duties as a choir member. So that is a real bonus! I have also learned to be more responsible and organize my time better, so in summary I am in good shape here. I hope I can say the same for my physical shape. Hehehe... I'd like to write some more but it's time to take a bath and prepare myself for work. I can't miss my transport! Mara thani (Next time) I will post some more.
