It's been so many years now that I missed all the things I do when I wake up early in the morning a few repertoire that become a habit that hard to break. Sipping a cup of hot chocolate while mesmerizing of what's going to happen through the entire day in a long working hours in the office; sitting an hour daydreaming of a better thing to do or will happen in a day.
Then my day starts with all smiles in the lips and glee in the heart. No rushing hours, you are in control with every minute. You aren't clamored 'cause you have so much time left to do everything to gear up yourself. Take your morning shower, read a line or two of your favorite quotes, a minute exercises, these are all the things that I miss doing here in Dubai. I'm not able to do now due to tight hour in the morning.

| having a cup of tea every morning before the grueling hours of work is a good start for a day.... |
Things are not all the same living in a different place, culture, aspect and ideas could even twist the perspective of a person. All my morning routing has gone now, and every morning is clamoring hours. Every day you had to rush waking up, with body pain, rush up for quick-bath, rushing up for breakfast or sometimes none-at-all, rushing up preparing yourself, hayayay, no time now for a good cup of tea.

| the receptionist, the secretary, the document controller, I love my three in 1 job. As for me, it's better to have a busy job than to deal a boring day every day for being idle. |
Living in a very fast pace country was not an easy thing to deal with, but you had to adjust yourself or if not you won't enjoy it even though you had the most advance life or you will face a boring day everyday. While you are surrounded by different kind of people, so different in what you grown up to, the language, the ideas, the perspective, sometimes it's hard to comprehend with their likes and dislikes. You will then realize how hard it is to become apart from the place where you have been raised, and then you will wish that my country will give much better opportunity; so that you don't have to leave, and work in another country just to look for a greener pasture, much greater salary just to make a living better than you had right now.
Yet, sometimes we use it as a tool to run away from the pain by leaving and hoping that it will take away what's hurting you. Or just take it as an experience to make you a better person.
Well, my morning cup tea has now stirred up!

It's like Forrest Gump said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates.' Your career is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're going to get. But everything you get is going to teach you something along the way and make you the person you are today. That's the exciting part - it's an adventure itself. -- Nick Carter
