Dubai Mall Again

Since we still had much of the holiday left after our visit to the souk, we decided to visit Dubai mall again to watch the fountain... I finally got a nice photo of this building.. I have always tot that this looked nice but I never got a chance to take a nice photo of it..:)


Today, the sky is really beautiful so I see beauty everywhere we drive past.... it's a wonderful day:)

And finally, like the Virgin sign says... "WE ARE HERE!"

Look at what we found in Marks and Spencers!? Very very tempting!!!!!! Each bottle is about 17 aed.. which is about maybe $6 sing dollars..

I contemplated buying this tooo SINGAPORE laksa paste leh..... even thought of buying it as a bd gift for one of our singaporean friends here.... UNTIL i read the sign that says "MADE IN UK".

I mean, not tat I am biased but hor, after a bad experience at a Dim sum restaurant here called Ping Pong (which is from UK but claims to serve aunthentic dim sum) but served us HORRIBLE food.. my take on that experience is that UK pple have a very different sense of wat tastes good from us.. so when they say Made in UK, i think tat it means it is tasty to UK pple but not necessarily tasty to me:) wahahaha.. so in the end din buy...

Anyway, reminders of home seems to be everywhere lor.. look at what we found here-- PAPA ROTI!:) And the arabic people loved it lor.. there were so many pple sitting down at the Papa Roti cafe and eating roti with a coffee:)

As it is a holiday, there is alot of activities for children.. Ace queued up for a balloon.. and we saw this really good face painter and asked him to get his face painted but he didn't want to.. instead he went to pose with thsi policeman 3D cut out:) cute or not?:P


They also have art and craft to make picture frames... And Ace wanted to do that but there was such a long queue.. the only thing tat din have a queue is the traditional games section where they got the kids to play hopscotch and roll a tire with just a stick.. Since Ace played with hopscotch before, he was more intrigued by the wheel and stick game... hahahaha...


As i was not feeling very well by then, we went outside to find a seat to sit down and wait for the fountain to start...

This is the first time I see so many people here in Dubai mall lor.. most of the time when I come by during weekends, it is only half as full.. never seen so many people in my life!!!!! Inside or outside the mall.. equally full!

Today's show was a little bit different as they used a different song and had different colour lights too:)

Here is the video of the fountain performance...


Anyway, after tat, we tried to go to the foodcourt cos Ace wanted to eat Mac donalds. But it was so crowded..we gave up. We just dabao via the drive through at the petrol kioks (There are many mac donalds in petrol kiosks here with drive through services) and Max cooked fried noodles for me and him when we got home..

Ace was so tired that he slept through the whole journey home in the car:)

But it was a great day out I guess..
