113, Miracle Apartment, 322/8D ST,Al Hudaiba....
Here was the first impression of our living place. Arrived on 21st July and was greeted with this so-called "studio apartment" with an open living space, a toilet and a kitchen with a door. It's 95% close to being called a typical Malaysian hostel. We; Siti, Sue and I; weren't happy by being partitioned by bulky veneer laminated wardrobes in between our beds with no living space or dining. We've handled things on our own. We've made the shifts :P
At least, we were still provided with TV(we bought satellite receiver on our own), iron with board, washing machine, heater, oven, air cond, curtain, dining table with chairs along with three beds and three wardrobes. Well, it aint' so bad for us beginner. Except for the part that HOSTEL is written all over the place.
So, IKEA is the place to hunt although it's furniture isn't the best quality. But we were more keen on the furnishings. Quilt cover, computer table, rugs, carpet, etc. At least, you'll feel home when your space is furnished to your liking. And a HP laptop with a stable internet access to accompany you. Soon, the home is the heaven.
This is my slumber space. Three beds in a row, wardrobes facing in the opposite direction and a space as a living and a dining right at the entrance. If we were to dry our clothes, we have a courtyard-like space in the middle of the building. So, we will drag our cloth liner outside of the apartment to the courtyard. If there's a sandstorm, your cloths will end up smelling like sand. We have a balcony but with an ugly view and the floor which gets dusty every single second. And lately, there has been an attack on me from the bloody bed bugs. It's leaving scars on my scar prone skin.Anyhow, scrap that and this is my lovely slumber land in Dubai.
p/s: Mum, I'm living just fine here and please don't worry about me. I can survive here.
p/s 2: And HELLO Winter in Dubai....whee hee!!! :p
