Dubai

August 19, 2007

So as I said before, this trip to Dubai was quick, spontaneous and fun… i think we went to “almost” all the malls there lol

We went to… hmm.. let’s see… City Center, Dubai Mall, Dubai Festival City and Ibn Batoota Mall (where I took most of the pics)… and I think that’s it…

Anyways, here’re a bunch of random pics i took there…. and of course, with comments!
From Ibn Batoota Mall:

Me & The Gulf

They had a huuuge World Map on the ground (obviously), so i took a pic with me standing near the Gulf… there’s Kuwait!

Candeh!!

IIIII LOVE CAANNDEH!! *shakes her bonbon* and yes, i covered my face, eshtabooon!

Marigold

I saw this poster for an indian movie called Marigold, and i found it very interesting that Ali Larter (Jessica/Nicky from Heroes) is in the movie with Salman Khan!

Magrudy's!

Magrudy’s Bookstore! The Ultimate Bookstore Hotness! A very unfortunate name but an amazing bookstore! it seriously kicks Jareer’s ass! and of course, Virgin Megastore is just a 1/4 of what it used to be, so it’s almost useless… When do we get our very own Magrudy’s? :(

The Ibn Batoota Live BrassBand

This live band was AMAZING!

Future Dubai

This looked goregous, so I had to take a pic… this is what Dubai’s going to look like in the near future…

Swair!

There was this tiny shack thingy that took names and you’d have to come back in 30 minutes to see the finished painting… so i got my very own “Swair” painting *wiggles eyebrows* <— For Princess :p

Dubai Festival City:

Boat Ride

We took a tiny boat ride near Dubai Festival City Mall and it was fun… And yes that’s MY reflection holding the camera! ;D

Ashtray!

Found this Coughing & Screaming Ashtray! I should’ve bought it for all those smokers out there!

Aldo's GuestBook

I saw Aldo’s GuestBook so i HAD to sign it! (I bought a wallet, hence the”YAY! NEW WALLET!” comment)

Books! Books! Books!!

For the curious, these are the books i had with me/bought from Dubai!
The Catherine Alliott book is my birthday gift from Sou, and i enjoyed reading it during the flight *wiggles eyebrows for Sou*…

The other four are from Magrudy’s (see above!) and thanks to Mimi for the “Girls Of Riyadh” review, that sorta convinced me to buy the book lol

Home Sweet Home!

I love this shot, check out the shadow of the plane on the ground right before landing! ;D

And that’s pretty much it… but if you’d like to check out more pics, check out my “Artsy Fartsy” aka Deviantart gallery :D
