HAVE AN AWESOME DAY! 

I got him this time.................................!!

I decided to go back to The Dubai Mall today..........so I took the bus to the Metro (it's an automated train that runs through Dubai...it's high tech and great).........

So I'm walking through the mall and guess who I found.............it's 'the guy in the back' of that photo that's to the left of this post showing me with the Toy Master and take a look@ the guy doing the peace sign in the back.

And this is what he was doing...........................

His name is Noewark and he's from the Phillipines.........

I told him I didn't realize what he had done in my pic with the  Toy Master until I downloaded it......we laughed for a couple of minutes and the other store associates joined in.......I said he must have a hard job to do!!!!

There now he doesn't have to hide behind anyone!!


It's amazing what a smile will do...............So keep smiling and when someone doesn't return one back........Oh well, U just keep :)

My First..........................

.

 ...............time eating Chinese food......let alone with chopsticks....!!

Please don't fall......what happens if it goes flying and......it won't cuz i stabbed it!!!

Yes I am a queen..........

Who u calling hairy ?!! Nah Nah.....

 

Close ur eyes and make a wish: "I wish for a Flat white coffee"
...............

See wishes do come true............believe!!!!



Point is: Be Silly and have fun.  Have Fun and be silly!!

Try something different.............let the fear go...... :)

I'm at the Mall of the Emirates.......this mall has an indoor ski hill...would u believe the ice is brought in from Canada! Really. So I was having a coffee in an air-conditioned mall watching people ski downhill. How ironic? 

See you soon.

Wanna see a MALL..............................

I went to the Dubai Mall yesterday...............for 5 hours!! and we still didn't cover the whole mall or touch base with "the bookstore". (Trust me this mall will put a whole new meaning for those shopoholics......... or maybe even be a remedy!!....actually it made me ill by the end!!!!! (Oh Norma........ I wish you were here.........oh the purses......and .........the walking doesn't end!)

So there's more than 1200 stores, and there were many empty ones on the third floor, so if anyone wants to open..........go for it!! And that's besides the restaurants, coffee shops, etc. There's an aquarium (variety of fish, sea animals and SHARKS!, a theme park with rollercoaster and an olympic sized ice rink with a huge screen too (but no zamboni)!! Three huge fountains with the silver plated divers...........trust me no picture was taken twice.........need i say more! Many Cinemas, a Gold Souk (which is a gallery of over 200 gold and jewellery vendors) that's all!
Oh my.......the Candilicious store.........the pic after........take a look at the size of the lollipops....enormous............!!!

And we ended it off having late afternoon lunch at Al Habbib--the best Lebanese restaurant chain, took some pics from balcony table, you'll see the Burj Al Khalifah and fountains surrounding, hotels around and some SUN! (i'm burnt!)

In one of the mall pics, I thought I got the top of the Burj Al Khalifah.......but it was the top of the Address Hotel! (In order to get the whole Burj AL Khalifah in a pic u have to lie down and take a pic......lol......actually that's true.......i'll see if i remember to do

I created a video of all the pics, the reason why I picked this song is because there were so many Julia Roberts Ads + endless stores=this song.....


I hope you enjoy.............................

The Dubai Mall

Keep :) and have a great day!

Al-Souk Madinat Jumeirah

Eeeeek, what a great day!

Went to Souk Madinat, 25 minutes via bus transit and added a nice 30 minute walk (longer and I would've melted (it's still 40)!)

I found my Costas (italian coffee chain and tried there new Flat White coffee, sister would call it-fat white coffee!----its so creamy, yeah that's my kinda stuff... and she's so low-fatfoodie!!.......actually toooooo low-fat foodie (plz. ........sshhhh!!!---i lost 5 lbs in a week)

Took some pics with the BB, met some funky italians and spanish people and wandered around the souk (shops). Oh!Vivel Patisserie.........it's been sooo long!!!!!! (most amazing pastry store, there's one in Montreal)

Here's a little slide show of today and some pics from last year (place hasn't changed it's still GORGEOUS). I hope you enjoy and maybe it will add a touch of sunshine to your day.......

Click on................ Al Souk Madinat Jumeirah

I haven't seen so many Bentley's, Rolls Royce, Ferrari's, Lambourghini's and Porsche's in my life.....................i just find it mind boggling.....very very very very expensive metal..............I enjoy driving my Japanese car!!!! But then that's just it.........drive whatever puts a SMILE on your face!
(I can recall driving a beater car in high school ('80 FORD!)---that was the funnest, plus it was pure heavy metal!........except for the time I got stuck at an intersection-green light in the left turn during a winter storm and I had an exam.......good thing I was within 3km of school.....cuz it was the day i also RAN the fastest!)

(Gas is cheap here! come on over and fill up.........................................................)

Take Care, it's light's out for me.......I'm 8 hours ahead of you!

Keep :)

Burj Al-Khalifah last night: Fountain show

We went to the Burj Al-Khalifah (tallest tower in the world) and it's also beside the Dubai Mall which is the world's largest shopping mall.

They have these awesome fountain shows every half hour, ENJOY! (It's just like the fountain shows @ the Bellagio in Las Vegas (remember Norma!!) but longer!

Here's a video of one show: VID 00011-20110501-0450.3GP (sis video'd, thx!)

Burj Al Khalifah-the base, everyone waiting for  fountain show, there are restaurants around all over
and connected to Dubai Mall

Burj Al Khalifah-tallest bldg in world, i would need to take 2 more photos for building to be  pictured however all these photos are via BB as my camera---well that's another story!!!


Have a great day!

Tomorrow: Madinat Jumeirah and exploring with the Dubai Transit......
