Dubai and I am having flashbacks to page one of my journey.
Here are a few flashbacks from this day exactly a year ago.
'Sitting with mum in the lobby of Perspectives (the building I used to
live in) waiting for Adhil to fetch us. My good friend Hangwi was
moving into the flat and was in and out of the lobby and at one stage
stopped to spend a few minutes chatting to mum and I. Hangwi and mum
shared some special parting words too."
'Dropping mum off at Adhil's place en-route to the airport as she
wasn't feeling well enough to make it. We hugged outside the car and
her parting words were "Let's say goodbye like I will see you
tomorrow".' (The hug itself was deep and i could feel its warmth and
motherly love flowing through my soul however the words very few which
was best.)
'Zac,Adhil and I heading to the airport.'
'Arriving at the check-in counter and there was Mariette awaiting my
arrival with a vida coffee for me.'
'Yasmin,Cashel,Aunty Lolie,Tatum,Zac,Mariette,Adhil and I having a few
last laughs and chit-chat in the food court area at the airport.'
'The final goodbye hugs and words exchanged before I headed through
the gate-each so special and unique.'
In 2010 I had shut closed the lingering idea of one day going to
experience working in Dubai and I had decided that I will go on a
holiday at some point of my life to see what it's all about and get
the curiosity out of my system. As the new year 2011 dawned destiny
came knocking on my door banging it open and thats how it all began...
"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only
connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots
will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something -
your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let
me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."~Steve Jobs
