For long term readers of this blog you might have noticed that I have enjoyed getting dressed up. My favourite being the Buzz Lightyear outfit I wore for a party earlier this year. My Father thought he knew why I had this obession with fancy dress when he dug out some old photos this week.
We lived for a while in Brunei when I was probably about five years old where these pictures were taken. I remember it being blazing hot most of the time with the occasional massive monsoon rainfall. I recall it being a fun place to live as a kid as it was only a short bike ride to the beach from where we lived.
Here are my sister and I dressed as the dynamic duo. I certainly seem to be enjoying myself, my sister less so. But we are still looking cool:
And another this time in our pyjamas (isn’t it a bit early in the day to wearing these?). I am looking distinctly unimpressed and it is probably why I detest wearing pyjamas nowadays:
I am going to have a look around for some photos of when I was in Abu Dhabi as a kid a few years after this and see if I can tell anything about my life in Dubai today from them.
The batman costume is definitely a keeper! Can one find retro Adam West costumes? Party idea. That entire decade was rife with great costumes.

Thanks Natlie. Yes – I am sure Adam West costumes are they way forward. Far better than this Dark Knight nonsense….

Enjoyed reading your blog. Your dad put me on to it. I am thinking of coming to Dubai if your dad can help me find work, so all the info in your blog about the place has been very interesting.
Must get a gold plated Cayenne. Life not complete without.
