Ari ni lepas office decided to bersiar-siar along Corniche... they called it North Corniche and surprisingly terjumpa la masjid terapung.... pada hal bukan la jauh sangat dari office dan apartment tempat saya tinggal but it is different now. Cleanner and more orgnised with paver etc. Sempat juga posing depan kete sewa tu...
Last week our office organized a bowling competition. Hmm sebenarnya I ni bukan la pandai main. Tapi sportingnya fasal join la juga. So we had 3 teams of 3-4 people in each team. So the rule of the game, whichever team loses.. kena belanja breakfast. Guess who loose? Our team la hehehe. But it was fun especially tengok our office mate yang pakai jubah main....
My second day at work, my boss told me that we were having a office gathering. I don't really remembered the name of the place but it was quiet a distance. The food place is kind of chalet where you have a private place for your group just like a karaoke room in Malaysia with majlis seat around the room and the food is all grill food from fish, squids, prawns etc. There goes my diet..
It has been 3 weeks now since I arrived Jeddah for a new job. There are lots of things need to be done and I literally have to start all over again and it seemed it might takes longer than I anticipated.
Initially I had different impression of Jeddah. During one of my Umrah visit to Jeddah, I was brought to a different part of Jeddah and I wasn't that excited to be here at first except the fact that I will be nearer to the two holy mosques.
But eversince I am here I have a different impression of Jeddah, totally modern just like any other morden city and I began to like this place. It is not as expensive as Doha. The house/apartment is almost half the price of Doha.
The only thing initially one will find a bit odd when you shopping, and suddenly the cashier close the counter for prayers and one really have to time oneself to shop etc. Ladies are not allowed to drive here and they have to wear black abaya whenever they go out even non muslim.
But for muslim I guess that is something easily to adapt.
I know some of my fellow visitors has been wanting to know my new development here..Alhamdulillah I am fine and if you are able to read in article in Bahasa Malaysia please use the google translator to help you out with the translation. So stay tune.. I will start writing my new life here in Jeddah....
HAri tu masa pergi ke Balad kami sempat singgah ke kedai Perfume. Mereka ni jual perfume tester dan harga ni pun murah gak. Bayangkan semua tu saya beli dgn harga SAR500!. So ada sesiapa yg berminat boleh buat business ni...
Ni beli sampai 4 botol kalau tak wangi sengaja la kan..
I remember a few years back when I came to Jeddah during my Umrah, the brought me to Balad. It was still the same and I can relate as if it is like Pertama in Malaysia.
Yesterday we decided to have our dinner there in an Indonesian Restaurant and we had Nasi Goreng. Talking about food, there is nothing you miss here. There lots of Indonesian and Thai Restaurant.
I bought Yemen Honey and a few perfume selling very cheap here...
Sekilas pandang suasana tinggal di Jeddah, rasanya boleh mengesuaikan diri. Jeddah seems like a bit city and one have to have a good drive skills. Kadang-kadang aje muncul aje kereta di kiri dan kanan. Malls pun banyak juga just like any morden city. So ari ni nak explore memandangkan ari ni cuti...
Ni la ruang tamu yg tak de TV dan Air Cond. Hanya satu AC je yg ada iaitu di bilik tidur. So bila musim panas ni dok kat bilik aje la fasal nak sejuk kan...
Ni hallway ke kitchen, toilet dan bilik tido.
Ini kitchen yg comel tapi cukuplah dengan cutlery etc.
Bilik air yang ... Ok la...
Bilik tidur yg hanya ada satu bantal utk satu katil.. lembik bantalnya tu.
Rupa depan apartment
Dah bersiap utk pergi kerja. Apa macam ada tokok Tuan Director ke?
Pemandangan dari dalam office
My room alhamdulillah
Sampai ke Jeddah petang semalam dan terus menuju ke serviced apartment. A bit put off fasal I ni high expectation dan compare dulu masa kat Doha kira mewah la dulu. Anyway, ini pun sementara aje so terima aje la. Petang semalam sempat g beli groceries sikit dan balik naik taxi SAR 10. Pagi pergi kerja tumpang Iqbal teman sepejabat dari Malaysia. Sampai office, I was expecting the worst tapi alhamdulillah I like the office set up. Tapi ni pun sementara kerana katanya kita akan pindah ke office baru, hujung minggu ni. Katanya lagi spacious.
