January was our long holiday between semesters, so I was off on the planes again. My family decided to meet in Hawaii this year for our first all-family vacation in years. It was a fantastic week spent together!
After I left them, I headed to Malaysia for about a week with a stop in Kuala Lumpur and most of my time spent in Kuching, Sarawak on the Malaysian part of the Borneo island.
It was, perhaps, the most relaxing vacation I’ve had in quite some time with little domestic travel in the countries I was in. So, I came back feeling very refreshed and relaxed – ready to start the new term!

More trips to come,

Slowly, but surely, the catching up is happening. 😀

Christmas this year was a bit of a mix of emotions. Some personal stuff was going on and I was extremely homesick as it just doesn’t feel like Christmas when the weather is warm and the only Christmas cheer is that of commercialism – everything I hate about what Christmas has become.
Being with family and those I love is what this holiday means to me, so it was a little difficult to adjust. However, I wanted to share the day with my new family in Abu Dhabi. Most of my closest friends here came over to celebrate. We had a “White Elephant” gift exchange and a potluck dinner. I made the turkey and stuffing, while others brought wonderfully tasty additions. Overall, it was so lovely to have a way to share with those who are near and dear!

The turkey was tasty! My AD family
