hi
i am yakoob aldubay
i live in bedroom but i sit on the floor between the bed and capin
but i sleep above bed with my wife , some time sit on the window
I live in a small apartment but very divided. It has a large bedroom, bathroom, living room, kitchen and a balcony.
In the room I have a king bed with two side raised, a desk, drawers and frames on the wall. I just do not like the white walls. But my next project will be painting the wall of another color that I have not yet decided due to some alterations in the decoration of the bed.
Also dont really like to keep things under the bed and it is very common here, but unfortunately I have to do this because I do not have many places to keep that things. My desk is on the corner near the window. I have two favorite pictures on the wall above my bed.
I live in big a room this color is purple i like it, The room’s size is 50m2 on second floor of my house, have a big bath and big closet, large windows and one door and a big balcony.
My room is very quiet and ventilated has a big bed i love it.

My room at work is a small room, painted light blue all around. I hate this colour actually..and I’m going to paint it with a cool, relaxing colour soon. I can’t wait for that moment to come. I have a big shelf for putting all my references and my pupils exercise books and school projects. There’s a big working table for me where I put my laptop and a printer. It’s a bit messy right now…waiting to be cleaned and tidied by anyone who would like to come and give me a helping hand..!
I have a room that I share with my wife. There is a small table. There are two cupboards for clothes. There are three windows. My room is vetilated and so lighted. I have a telephone in my room. That is fully carpeted room. Its carpet color is brown. Its paint is off white. It si neat and clean room.I also have a TV in my room.There is attached bathroom. I like my room.
I’m really grateful to you and all your sharing with me although I couldt check my emails due to shifting to saudia. I feel so great to continue with such a nice teacher who is always been a great help to me to update my english languag.
