He kept talking about it week after week and we decided finally to explore this place after Max's soccer game.
When we arrived though, our very first priority was to get ourselves some dinner. Alas, the dinner here is very sad.. no mac donalds and the only thing tat Ace might want to eat here is Subway.. which I even had to entice him to choose by telling him that their meals came with either chips or soft cookies...
The food court even though very sad in choice.. is very intereesting:) It has an open concept and looks out into some sort of adventure obstacle course.. so you could hav a meal while you looked at others squirming as they try to overcome obstacle after obstacle in the obstacle course:) It looked like alot of fun:) But I think i am too much of a scaredy cat to try it.. wahahahah
Interesting view, isn't it?
But Ace said he was very hungry and so he just digged in and didn't really enjoy the view until he finally finished his meal.. wahahahaha:) He must be super hungry...
We saw a super big Sharaf.. which is like our Best Denki in Singapore. Ace said "Yeah, boy's toys.." cos we always referred to these sort of shop as Daddy's favourite toy store.They were promoting this new kinect game from Disney and it is really alot of fun. The best thing is tat this mall is sort of deserted so there is no one fighting to play the game with Ace and so he got to play with his dad for a good 15 minutes:)
Initially, when Max was just observing, he noted that Ace does not seem to understand the cause and effect of the game as he keeps moving too close to the kinect machine and losing his sense of direction about where to go..BUT, when Max finally joined in and played with Ace, Ace outplayed him lor:) Somehow along the way as he played, Ace started to understand how things work and started to outlast and outrun Max in the game! wahahaahaa... I guess Max spoke too soon!:)
The boys do seem to be having alot of fun, don't they. Ace has declared this his current favourite mall:) wahahahaha
Well, the store also has some hello kitty stuff.. my favourite is this Hello Kitty Samsung phone.. too bad it is pricey... alas, I think if I did up my iphone, it can look equally cute:) hahahahaha
While I had been on the search for an extra phone.. every since Max brought home the puncher and helped me punch my mini sim using my dubai phonecard, I have been very happy with my iphone and my lau ya nokia phone since I dun use my singapore line much:) (But if you whatsapp me often, my registered number is still my singapore line since most pple i talk to are from singapore..)
In the mall, there is also the COOLEST place in Dubai. Not because it is "cool" as in hip.. but because it is "cold". Apparently, the three coldest places in dubai irregardless of weather are the ice skating ring in dubai mall (6 degrees celsius), Ski Dubai in Mall of Emirates (5 degree celsius) and Ice Bar in this mall (4 degree celsius).Basically, if you paid something like 60 dirhams, you get to go in and sit inside for 45 min and get a nice hot drink and some winter clothes to keep you warm.
But leh, according to my friend, Annie, who went to this place, she said what you see outside is what you get.. so might as well take photos from the outside.. ahahahaha. i guess I will visit this place one day when i have friends coming to Dubai;)
There is also a huge HK shop but alas, the shop so big.. but there was nothing that caught my fancy...
There was also a Dino LIVE exhibition here. It costs 50 dirhams to get in.. and since when it was at another place, there was a groupon thingy for it, we are waiting for groupon to come out with another promo before we will bring Ace to visit.. luckily, Ace did not make much of a fuss over it:)
Then Ace started to complain that he is thirsty... the reason? He saw this coffee place and wanted to have iced chocolate and coffee with us:) Since we are quite full, I asked Max to just order one drink to share and so Max ordered only one mocha.. but instead of a frappe, he ordered an ice mocha and so Ace did not really like it and ended up just wolfing down the cheese cake:)They have a nice kids corner with a bear cushion and some toys.. so cute! And also, NO ONE AROUND TO FIGHT FOR IT!:)
R and R a little before we explore this adventure store which is like decathalon...
Ace lying down on the hammock and becoming frightened cos he was unable to get up! hahahaha
Ace asked me what this is.. we found it in the horse riding section of the store.. I told him it is a whip to whip naughty children.. wahahahahahaha
I also found this interesting dead bird under the Falconry section.. the people here like to rear falcons and the fake grass patch goes over their arm so that their falcon can stand on their arm... But i really dunno wat this bird is for...
This is how the obstacle course looked like from the store.. you have to be minimum 25km and 1.25m tall to do this.. so Ace is too short and too light to try it yet..
Also discovered a -25degrees chill chamber for you to test out their winter gear.. gosh, never see this before lor.. wonder how much money they have to invest just to have this chamber... and then no one inside the shop to buy anything.. how do they survive???Satisfied, we decided we will come here once every few months as we like it cos it is not crowded at all:)
