Virgo-gos Road Trip

Awesome weekend getaway with two of my best girlies, Therese and Tracy! And here the best highlights of the first of many road trips to come:

1.       Hotel Hopping: Switching hotels all around Abu Dhabi in attempt to find restaurants/bars serving alcohols which didn't came too easy considering it's the Holy month of Ramadan

2.       Speed Craze: Drove the Ford Mustang GT hitting 210km/hr speed on our way to Liwa.

3.       Cheeky Weather: Experienced sandstorm then rain showers in a scorching 117 degrees summer heat within 10 minutes ;)

4.       Sands of Liwa: We got stuck in the sand attempting to find a great spot for taking pictures. Two men with a pickup truck came but failed to help us out. Luckily a tanker truck carrying sweet water finally pulled the Mustang out. Fact: people from the Western Region are very generous and really helpful without expecting anything in return. But then of course we insisted to give them some money for the trouble we've caused them; not to mention eating probably a handful of sand grains during the attempt but hey so did we plus stiff, brittle and dry hair!

Rain Rain Go Away

Sandstorm, thunder, lightning and heavy rain showered Dubai last night, not sure about the other Emirates but yeah it was crazy! I've taken some videos of the rain whilst I'm on my way home and uploaded them on my youtube channnel. I hope there will be no more rain next week tho as we want to enjoy the sun in the beach, please!!!!

I was in Sharjah Industrial Area to get all my car tyres changed and I just finished with the alignment and balancing when suddenly the wind started to blow a sand full of air and garbages lol!

So here are the pics I've taken last night when my car got massacred...again ;-)

balancing & alignment

Nice junk! I asked them if I can drive it and they said sure when it's fixed :s

Please be careful with HIM :p

Zero visibility on Emirates Rd

And oh btw here's a picture of my paratha with double egg omelete for yesterday's breakie.. my hubby wants to see what's a paratha like so I took a picture of it lol! I'm going to buy one for him very soon! Acha tike bolo?!

What's Up... What's Up

Hey ho! So what's been happening in Doobers? I don't know but here's what happened to me last weekend. I got my car stuck in the sand due to my laziness of making a u-turn when I decided to take a short cut in a sandy area instead and there you go my  poor1.3L engine little car!

After trying to scoop out the sand where both my front wheels got stuck (for almost an hour) and just when I almost lost hope, these three very kind and generous supermen (1 just happened to throw some garbage near where I got stuck, 1 which I literally stopped in the main road, and the other was a passerby) helped me out! I can't thank them enough for rescuing me even though they had to deflate my tires :(


And last Thursday, my hubby bought me SIMS3 for PS3. And last night after 4 days of playing, my sim got pregnant and after 2 simoleon days she gave birth and guess what, to twin baby boys!

I guess even in video games, there is no hope for me having a baby girl, LOL!
But hey who would still want for any thing more than this?

I woke up one morning and was about to get ready for work when I saw my two boys sound asleep close to each other almost hugging. Bless them! Made me want to go back to sleep and lay down in between them.hehehe...

Can't he get any cuter? This little piggy grabbed some chips from my plate munched it then just spit it out!

And boy am I so glad that I finally had enough of changing my blog template and editing HTML codes for the past few days. Gah!

So that's all for now folks!
Cheerios!
