As-salam àlaykum from Dubai!!

As-salam àlaykum!!!!

Now is the ending of Day 6 already... so far so good, relak everyday, visiting places, etc. Actually wanted to blog from Day 1 onwards, but i'm either too tired or too lazy heh..

Super exec summary, my flight from SIN to DXB via Thai Airways was almost 12hrs, including transit time.. B, Shir and Tek were there to welcome us and we were whisked off to their apartment in our rented car. The place is nice, kindda condo-like and the whole place is air-conditioned. Oh btw, weather here is hot hot hot, but chilly at nite. 1st meal was steamboat at home, had it at 8+ DXB time, which is basically 12+ SIN time... machiam eating supper liao haha... Its v nice, warm n homely, with a huge spread of food. Went to Zinc (a club) after that... dun like it; music and crowd quite yucky.

Fell sick the next day...down with fever, so I practically slept throughout the day, while being taken cared of by the rest..

Got better the next day, so went jalan jalan again... Till today we've visited several big malls (n I mean real BIG), Dubai Museum, Hardrock Cafe, Irish Village, etc...B will drive and bring us around everyday, machiam he's a semi-PR of DXB ha...He cooks for us too... Its so nice to prepare and eat breakfast or any other meals together... Their Korean flatmate cooked dinner for us a few nights ago too... authentic Korean food.. Yummy! Things here are really expensive; had Lebanese food at a FOODCOURT and it cost me S$17...Grocery is ex too... only thing that is dirt cheap is their petrol of coz... Full tank cost S$20+ only!

Looking forward to visiting Jumeirah Beach - the sand and sea looks so damn nice and most of all, Burj Al Arab aka The Sail. Thats' all for now!!! Miss everyone at home and No.10 of coz hee... Till then, cya!!!

@ Work

Heh heh =p

1st Bday Present of 2007!!

Xin bought me these for my Bday!!!


We met up at TM last nite... Initially I was told its just the 2 of us, and I didn't even realise the 2 other 'idiots' who were sua-ku-ing (e.g. "Wah here got StarHub!!") behind us haha.. Brushed them off as noisy kids in fact heh! Had our dinner @ Ajisen, where the Hokkaido Seafood Ramen was so damn yummy... Had a long-distant chat with Qiao too. Vin joined us much later and we proceeded to Mac for his dinner. Short but nice catch up with one another... esp for Muchacha, who got so many shocks in 1 nite haha =)

Thank Yous to...

• Xin for the so-Me-card, Sammi's DVD (which I've been so so so waiting for) and organising the dinner
• Vin, Ah Bye and Muchacha for coming (They travelled from Boon Lay, NUS and Woodlands respectively, though the guys stay @ Tampines while my dear Muchacha has to go all the way back to Sembawang... thanks Babe! =p)
• & last but not least, Qiao for Voice-appearing.

To the rest who couldn't make it, cya all when I'm back (8th Dec)!!

Crab Walk

...cont...

Walked to AMK Blk 232 for the famous crabs after No.10 finished his revision... I led the way with my photographic memory of where the place is situated... Not too bad, we didn't really holland-ed, just went an extra BIG round only haha!

Had to queue for a while before we were seated. Ordered the Claypot Crab Beehoon, Butter-milky Crabs, Kailan and Mantou... Was pre-empted that we might have to wait for 1.5hrs! Went ahead nonetheless, in the end we waited for about 45mins or so only. The Claypot Crab Beehoon was nice though the crab meat was kindda soggy I think... The Butter-milky Crab was good as well, though I very much prefer Defu Lane's.


I gobbled up everything, ate more than No.10 heh, feeling so '我是幸福的'... eating the crabs I mean... Major OPPS. =p

Then we walked back to AMK interchange... '是 nice 的'... =)

图书馆记

(standard studying gear)

I'm @ AMK Community Library now...Haven't been to one in ages, a place where I normally wouldn't be caught dead in ha... I'm a 陪读书童 today, bumming around - reading, blogging, etc. while No.10 revises. Stormy weather outside, lots of students mugging (feeling is so 'been through, done that' ha) Looking at them, brought back so many memories... Those times where me, Xin n prob 1 or 2 others cramming at WhiteSands' Mac to study, when I was alone at Woodlands Library, etc... I will never be revising in my Uni though.. not to mention the library, which main purpose served to me was to print notes.. coz looking at the hardworking people burying their heads beneath books n notes juz makes me sick. Can't imagine how they can stay overnight there to study eeurrrgh!!!

Anywayz I found these pretty interesting books and this interesting quote:

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first - Ernestine Ulmer

I like! Heh... Going for crabs later yum...

to be continued...

Jingle Bells Are On The Way!!!

Christmas is coming! Walking down Orchard Road daily, can see the lightings and decorations up day by day... malls are playing x'mas jingles too! Lurrrrrrve X'mas! Not to mention the goodies and shopping and gifts and and and...

Side-track a bit, am going to Dubai next Friday (23rd)... so fast, only realized that its next Friday yesterday! No idea what to expect... am going for 16 days and spending my bday there... People, doesn't u mean you can forget about my presents! Heh...

Alternatively, you can combine both my Bday and X'mas gifts together and give me a BIG one! Hee...
