I'm doin' it!

Against everyone, I'm going to get a motorcycle license here. If this is all it takes to make me happier in this sand pit...the hell with it!

First step: asking for a letter from my sponsor a.k.a my company (coz in this part of the world, the sponsor plays a prudent role in all expat community). Want to open a bank account, must get a no-objection letter..want to change job, former employer needs to issue a no-objection letter to the new employer saying so and so has worked in this company and they have no objection for this so and so to start at the new place. To learn how to drive also need a no-objection letter for him/her to drive in this country.--so that's CHECKED! (it will be ready in the next few days via internal mail..so I should check mailbox at the EGHQ soon)

Second step: getting 7 pieces of passport photo (What the heck are they going to do with 7 photos, don't ask!) --CHECKED!

Third step: Passport copy with residence visa page -- CHECKED!

Fourth step: This I was not quite sure, someone told me I have to ask permission from Road & Transport Authority to apply for a motorcycle license since I am a woman (WTF????) --NOT CHECKED and I need to find out tomorrow

Fifth Step: Cost about AED1500-1800 --CHECKED!


I've always wanted to own a motorbike. Now that my car has done financing..I may sell it and buy a bike instead. We do not need three cars in life of two household, do we? So, make sense if we have only two..one for me, one for him..and a bike for me! to fulfill my passion. All I heard was don't ride in this country, it's dangerous..if you want a free death certificate, go for it then! And others was just agree to that statement. If you going to die, you'd die..regardless where and when or on what. If that's my destiny, so be it. It's been written...I JUST ACCEPT it. *wink*

So, this is my next challenge/project dealing with my mid-life (I know..mid-life at thirty...huhhh) crisis..lmfao!

So people, talk to me...shall I go for it? Shall I pursue my dreams of destruction? Or shall I just be the average thirty year old married woman with average job and average life?
