Secured in my Home

Living in Dubai has its perks in terms of security and safety. Although we cannot dispute the fact that there are crimes anywhere. However, crime rate here is down to the minimum.

We live in a building flat and have a security guard round-the-clock. The home security systems here are okay because most buildings are equipped with auto-lock system in the main lobby door. Unless you are a resident of a certain building, you cannot enter right away without buzzing the owner of the flat or leaving your ID in the security guard.

Beeping Loot

I was a bit upset last week when I went shopping with my daughter and brother in one of the recently opened malls here. I bought 2 blouses for office wear and some card-making craft. I noticed that each time I come in and leave a store, my shopping bag would activate a nerve-wreaking alarm that was not only irritating but seriously embarrassing for me. One guy even joked "so they caught you huh?" The nerve!

I realized that no matter where I go, the scanners would set because the lady where purchased the blouses did not remove the tag bearing the bar code with one of the shop's barcode scanners.

I have never been so humiliated in my life! Next time I buy something from that shop, I will make sure that the tags are literally cut from my goods.

Up and About

It's only 6:30 a.m. and I am already up as the sun is. I have finally settled back to this part of the world's time but still has minor glitches to fix with my body clock. I still wake up very early than usual even prior to my alarm clock setting off.

I have no qualms about it. But it's the weekend today and I prefer lingering in my cozy bed wrapped in my warm comforter.

So, how is everybody's morning???
