95:5
When people drink tequila and beer, the conversations can turn into something interesting. 😛 It became the theme of my “Almost 40 Birthday Party” which was celebrated on Cinco de Mayo. The reference was for the percentage that men should satisfy their women. I will leave it at that. However, like I do with just about…

Packing Up a Chapter
Packing is one of my least favorite, if not THE least favorite, things to do. It makes me a bit sad. Even when it is packing to go on holiday for which I am super excited about, I hate to pack. 🙁 There are remnants of fear and worry that are associated with packing for…

Performing at Your Peak
This weekend is a bit of a blur, I must admit, as we were overly gluttonous and indulgent with food and drink due to brunches and events. However, Saturday was a bit of a recovery day where I spent it at this summit. If you know me at all, you know that I am absolutely…

Transition…
(card from my honey) Well, I am trying to fully embrace “retirement”. I have said that I do not think any of it will fully set in until about October when everyone is back in full swing at work and I am not. At the moment, it is just the usual summer holiday transition period.…

Changes…

Settling Down…Or Not…
Well, you might think that now the wedding is finished and married life has begun life would be settling down for me. Not quite yet…. Since I decided to quit working full-time at the ZOO, we now need to work on moving to a new apartment as our current place is part of my work package.…

In like a lamb, out like a lion
Spring has already come and the weather in the UAE is somewhat out of character lately. Seven years ago when I first arrived, there was similar weather of rain storms, flooding and cancelled classes. This year, hurricane-like weather passed through – they didn’t call it as such but what else do you call 130kph winds?…
