22

I'm still alive and kicking! Thank God!. It has been almost four months since my last blog post. I miss you guys more than you miss me, I am still crazy. Amidst of the overwhelming distance from home, culture shock, timezone, depression/ isolation, I am happy to say that I'm getting better each day in the sunny and sandy Abu Dhabi.

Life here has never been easy, like any other expats stories, you will feel the ups and downs of living far from home. I still can't deny that I don't miss home. Every day I wake up is a struggle to face another day, go to work, think about my loved ones back home. But as time pass by, It will all get better.

And as much as I want to deny it, I don't feel like turning 22 tomorrow. Yeah, advance happy birthday to me! Another year would be added to my incredible insanely life and as I look back, a lot happened on my 21st year. Cliche as it may sounds, I would still be dreaming of being Forever 21.

And yesterday was my last day off. Starting tomorrow, I won't be getting a rest day until 2nd week of August though I'm fine to have two half days in a week. Since Youssef, our team leader will be on leave, we don't have a choice. I just hope everything would be fine. :)

Happy Birthday, Tweet! I hope you will be able to know what you really want and do it bravely. Everything will be fine, just trust yourself and do your best. Inshallah!
