Wonderous Wonder Bus

Some time back, Ace went on a school trip on the wonderbus because the topic they were learning about for that semester is UAE (how very apt Ace joined them then and got to know more about the country he is staying in now...)

When he came home, he was like Wonder bus THIS and Wonder bus THAT.. I think he absolutely loved it and said he wanted to be on it again... and because our friends did not quite like the idea of an abbra, I tot the wonder bus might be more well recieved and suggested that they do a tour on the wonder bus;) Anyway, since we saw a discounted ticket on sale the night before, we bought the tickets lor;)

Anyway, this is us before the bus ride.. there were so many people there lor.. and they din have any signs.. it was only when we went up the bus then they told us that we needed to show our reciept to issue a ticket and in the end, the bus was overbooked and we had to wait for the next bus.

And it was so popular lor.. I saw so many people inside the wonderbus office waving money and waving their credit cards wanting to pay for their bus tickets but the booking agents just ignored them! Like tat also can! Then another woman paid for 18 tickets and asked for 19 seats.. initially saying tat the kid is younger than 3 (cos kids younger than 3 free) . However they say free is becos they get to seat on your lap... when they found out, they said their kid is scrawny 5 year old and needed a seat.. wahahahahaha.... chow kuan lor:)

That is our guide asking Ace where is he from... he said, "Singapore.."

"Can you sing a song from Singapore for us" The guide asked.. after a 10 second pause, my son said, "No!" And giggled.. wahahahahahah


I only realized this when I took the wonder bus.. that there are many palm trees grown in Dubai.. according to our guide.. UAE is the country with the most number of palm trees grown.. apparently they have like 2 million palm trees in the whole of UAE.. tat is almost as many people as we have in Dubai:P



Splash and in to the water we go!:)






Anyway, they gave out drinks and hor, Ace dam bloody heng lor.. by the time it is our turn to pick the drinks, no more orange juice left and only odd flavours... Ace wanted orange juice and last minute, the bus captain found ONE orange and Ace took it lor:)







That is Ace saying he is hungry but we were told no food allowed on the bus.. so I gave Ace the bread I brought and he secretly hid behind his jacket to eat.. wahahahahahaha...


Anyway, that's our guide sharing about Dubai.. That pic on the left is Dubai 20 years ago.. the pic on the right is the same stretch of road now.. 20 years later:) Isnt the transformation amazing!:)

Remember that I talked about Jumeriah The Palm.. this is the aerial view of it...

That is Burj Al Arab...

This is my favourite building across the creek.. See tat yellow line? Tat is our wonder bus!:)

Okie, thank you and good bye..

After tat we are all hungry abd went to have Lunch at chillis;)



After lunch, the whole jim gang spent another half hour walking around th mall with Ace cos Annie ganma wanted to reward Ace and he wanted to choose a toy.. he kept wanting the big boxes of toys tat are too expensive and finally settled for this shift changer thingy.. where you spray water on the car and it changes colour..

But that was not the end of our day:) We actually went for a nice indian dinner after tat:) More about tat in the next post:P
