Matt: Another year of my life passes. I've now been in the Emirates for 3 years, where does time go? I have to say it's been a pretty interesting and exciting 3 years, I met a lot of great people and done a lot of exciting things, I was a scary move to come out to Dubai, never having lived abroad before, but it's probably the best move I ever made. Of course I miss family and friends back home, but moving here gave me room to grow as a person, discover a little more about what drives me and has taught me a few life important lessons. There are times when it's been a lonely existence - but that only serves to make you stronger and more comfortable with yourself.
The 25th also marked my 34th Birthday, I guess some of you never imagined I'd make it this far - lol - either because you'd kill me yourselves or because of the crazy things I have a tendency to get up to! But I'm here and I'm loving it. We had an awesome weekend celebrating in style - Matt Style that is.. none of this poncy dinners in posh places.. nope.. We held a School Sports Day Olympics on the beach!! A lot of fun with events like javelin, shot-put, hurdles, long-jump, sack race, egg-n-spoon.
It was a great turn out too, take a look over the pictures - links below.
We chilled in the evening with a Bar-B-Que back at my Villa. Big thanks to Aimee for all her hard work and organising and thank to Matt (no not me) too for manning the grills, SOOO much food it was stoooopid! And finally thanks to everyone for showing up and making the day a lot of fun and for your kind gifts and cards!! You all best start mentally preparing for next year!! :)
