Adventures In Dubai Day 5: Festival By The Pool And Mac Donalds Lunch
















Day 5 in Dubai is a Friday.. which means the weekend is here...

And it is GREAT! Because we get to spend the WHOLE DAY with Max.

Though I had not totally recovered from my flu, I was feeling much better.. except I was prone to bouts of coughing which seem to start for no good reason.

Anyway, we headed out early in the morning to a place tat AC recommended Max to bring us.. because it is by the sea, it was a really nice view.. and we were lucky because they were having some sort of festival and there were alot of children.. Ace even got a handful of sweets!

When we arrived, there was a strange assortment of people on this boat and the clowns were all painted with black faces.. and there is this santa claus like man who was dressed like the pope.. we were thinking it might be some sort of italian festival of something..

Anyway, after breakfast, we walked around the mall...

Having been cooped in the small apartment for so many days, Ace was really excited when he saw a playground in the mall. We paid 50AED for him to go in and play for an hour while me and Max made our way shopping around....

After that, we went to Toys R Us where Ace had a field day... and then, we went to this bookshop called Magrudy's to buy a notebook for Ace to do his special diary where he would draw or write down interesting things he did and saw...

Then we wanted to have lunch and Ace asked if we could have Mac Donalds because he wanted to get the Megamind Toy.. hahahaha.. and so we had veggie burger.. I wonder why they dun have it in Singapore.. it actually tastes quite nice:) Ace didn't like it though and prefers cheeseburger without patty.. Incidentaly, Mac Donalds is the cheapest meal we had here... Most meals cost about 35AED per pax (and tat is the cheaper ones, tat's like S$15)

After that I felt really tired and needed to go home and rest...

When we reached home though, Max took a nap and Ace kept disturbing him.. so I asked Ace not to disturb his daddy. Having no one else to disturb.. just as I was about to sleep, he came to DISTURB ME :S So I woke up, and felt quite awake... and when I turned around.. the cheeky little boy was fast asleep in my bed, on my pillow.. SIGH...

Anyway, when Max woke, we decided that since we had alot of veggies left, we would cook them and so we had a home cooked ai xin eggplant spaghetti ;) (Spaghetti kindly sponsored by Ai Ching.. hahaha)

My son goofed around for a while and then he went supermarket shopping for ice cream with his dad while I finally could fall asleep in peace.. hahahaha..
