Before anything: Happy Birthday to Emaratiano, my beloved sis, my precious mummy & LoLo.. love you all forever & ever.. and I am glad you are all in my life.. ow Allah y7fa'6kom 7aggy ameeeeeen

A week ago, I was about to update, but decided to do it 5 mins later.. & now.. 5 mins turned to more than a week later because of a 101 reasons lol
Anyways, if you happen to visit Dubai's Ibn Battuta Mall, then you mussst check the yummiest ice-cream place ever: The Marble Slab Creamery, next to the cinema.. where you can have your very own personalized ice-cream! *slurrrp*

The shop from outside..

Pick your cone..

then any two flavors of ice-cream..

then get it mixed with any two goodies to choose from including various chocolates, fresh fruit pieces & even cookie doughs.. alot of choices where you can go wild! ;)

then watch all your ingredients be combined manually infront of you..

& finally served in the cone of your choice with whatever topping you like.. =D *slurrrrrp!*

The friendly staff of Marble Slab who couldnt help not gather infront of my camera for a happy shot! =D lol
Like I said.. highly recommended! ;)
Next, part II of the Hong Kong summer, click below to view the album:

Hope you enjoyed the photos.. though they seem to be a few shots, but they took forever to sort out.. >_<

Ever notice how stupid TV ads have become nowadays in the Arabic channels? I mean there are alot of good ones, but double that number of bad, silly ones.. Like yesterday, the latest Tefal cooking pan ad was on.. & it made me think "What the hell was that?!" O_o
Basically it shows a woman busy cooking, chopping onions & some vegetables, while she's in tears because of all the onion-chopping.. Then she looks at the pan, *lightbulb! she has a bright idea!*, she moves her face closer to all that chopped onion - supposedly to trigger more tears.. then moves her face over on top of the pan.. and you watch as a tear rolls down her cheek & on to the pan where it sizzles.. showing the magic & effeciency of an already hot, bring-the-food-on Tefal pan.. and just suddenly you see a fresh uncooked piece of meat plop onto that same pan (right after the tear) and starts sizzling.. & so the ad ends.. leaving you with a disturbed thought of having a steak being served to you with a flavor of human tears.. X_x
Ok it may not sound that gross, but the concept is senseless.. & knowing how alot of people are like sheep in a herd immitating everything they see.. especially when it is gracefully shown to them & introducing a new hand-free way to test if cooking pans are ready.. it brainstorms a 101 thoughts in your head..
Another one of smash-that-tv-screen-right-now ads is the whole series of Danow drink.. I wouldn't even go into that, but hearing a "MAFEE DANAAAAW?!" at the end of the ad is already enough to introduce a new screaming line for kids, ofcourse not to mention that whole concept of the ad is again senseless..
Ok enough ad attacking from my side.. I just had a little steam & had to let it out somewhere..

Anyway, here is a super-easy method to enjoy a refreshing drink, all you need is: a blender, a full tray of ice, water & Tang or Vimto (I recommend Mango Tang!).Mix all together in the blender (remember you need ALOT of ice) until smooth and slushy.. then serve in a glass.. Now you've got a yummy slush to enjoy! ;)

That's all for now.. look for Hong Kong part II soon! ;)

[craving: nothing]

Yesterday morning, I experienced one of the most disturbing sights that no one would ever imagine.. I thought I was over it, but was proved wrong when it haunted me again at night through unpleasant nightmares.. (>_<") I will not talk about it, but I'm hoping it can just get erased from my memory eventually..
Trying to move away from the topic.. finally I managed to squeeze a few photos from Hong Kong into an album.. & yes it took forever, yes it's not easy trying to choose a few shots from 1000s to share, & yes there is a part II.. In the mean time, click below to enjoy:

I was never fond of how I displayed these images, but I am also too lazy to think of creating a different layout.. Maybe one day.. maybe..
That's all for now.. until next update... ;)

[craving: DO-BUY!]

I couldn't believe what happened to Oasis center, that mini mall located on the entrance of Dubai, when I was told it was completely burnt down!! Luckily no people got hurt because it happened at 1:00 in the morning, but all the cute little animals down at Pet Shop were killed during the fire.. =( I also feel sorry for all the shop owners who had major losses and shop workers who may have lost their jobs for this too..Allah y3eenhom bs

I'm still feeling unsettled from my vacation, I still didnt even finish unpacking! Anyway, here are a few more shots to share..

Today is Banoota's birthday! Happy birthday gurl & may all your wishes come true.. see ya soon.. ;)
[Final whisper: Its 8:00 already and I am still at bed.. gotta run for work.. (-_-") ]

[mood: Happy]
[craving: The fruits day]

Since I got back I was immediately tossed back into the fast-flowing routine of my everyday life.. No unwinding, no settling down.. nothing! My bags are still due to be unpacked & my biological clock doesn't seem to adjust to the +GMT04:00 timing of UAE.. I guess it just needs some time..
I did however, got to finally meet my favorite people (Pink Sushi still pending =P) whom I missed so greatly.. That is a must even before unpacking!! lol

Just when I thought it wouldn't get any funnier.. the Simpsons show is now going to be shown in Arabic!! Yes, you heard me, aaand in an Egyptian accent too! lol I caught the Ad while I was flipping channels on TV.. I think its going to come out in Ramadan.. The Simpsons somehow was converted to Aal Shamshons!! looooool & apparently Homer is called Omar in the show! lol
Anyways, for those who were wondering, yes my short break was spent in vibrant Hong Kong and oh-so-worth-every-minute!! It was so alive, fun and so full of stuff to see.. Here are just a few shots.. & more to share in the coming updates! ;)

Even more photos will be shared in my Flickr account too.. check 'em out.. =)
[Final whisper: I am sooo craving Dubai right now! ]
