Road Sign

Today memang bad day for me. Here's the series of unfortunate events:

Unfortunate event 1:
Early-early morning dah argue with the GM, our partner rep. Disagree on tender bid format. At last, since degil jugak and deadline by 12.30, i surrender. lantaklah.. if not successful, it's your problem. I have fulfil my budget for this financial year.


Unfortunate event 2:
Meeting in Jebel Ali with IFRC. Knowing how crazy road sign in UAE ni, i've been very careful. The direction given is to enter through Gate 5. OK, manage to find this.. Then, once arrive roundabout 12 turn left. Where the hell is roundabout 12, there's so many roundabouts inside Jebel ALi Freezone..how will i know where's roundabout 12??? Passing thru few roundabout blur2, finally come across a roundabout with huge number 7 in the middle.. OK, should i go straight or should i turn back for r/a 12 ...arghhh pening2. After lost for 45min inside the freezone, finally find IFRC office..
ehh hello, u all kat ofis jangan dok gelak, Jebel Ali freezone bukan macam Westport kita tau.. ini yg macam 1 bandar sendiri, besar gilerrr.


Unfortunate event 3:
After meeting, want to have lunch in Mall of Emirare(MOE) . Again drive very carefully as i know i have to exit in Barsha to enter MOE. But the usual exit was close..macam mana ni.. turn here and there, 15 mins journey became 40 mins. Sebab dah janji lunch dengan kamarul terpaksa pegi jugak, otherwise i'll head straight back to office..

That's UAE road signage. I'm complaining about Dubai, tapi Sharja is worst. Masuk Sharja dont know how to go back to Dubai. There's no signage at all. It was a rat run of dead ends, U-shaped roads, bizarre loops and circuits, and streets going nowhere.

Memang nak muntahh..
Construction all around the emirate had caused heavy traffic, congestion and road closure.

Hi Tinny,

Setiap kali kita melanggkah ialah mulakan dengan kaki kanan dan teruskan dengan hajat dulu bukan buat temu janji sebelum membereskan amanah yang awal.

Masa dan sikap memang tidak akan selari jadi sikap mesti Cool dan masa mesti diutamakan. Amanah mesti dipenohi.

Selepasa amanah tertunai Thanks to God baru rancang what is next...

Jangan tipu perkara yang kita buat yang diamanahkan pun tak dapat ganjaran...he..he..he..;_*

GanyaS
