Walk By The Creek

It is the Dubai Shopping Festival again and so we thought we should go by the creek and walk walk lah... got fireworks and street performances and all that mah... somemore we stay so near mah!

So we went with F and sat at the seats to wait for the  perfornances to start.. around 8pm.. instead of having street performances, there were actually fire works!:)




















Then Max walked down to see if there are any performers furthur down.. alas, no performers leh... so we decided to go walk walk along the creek and see what they have..



Basically like pasar malam like tat and mostly they sell food and drinks.. there was a stage for perfomrances.. this one i dunno wat country.. but they dancing with wooden rifles...


I think the hand very pain man.. they kept moving the rifle up and down throughout the whole dance!

Then we walked along somemore and around 9pm or so, we saw alot of people gathering to wait for fireworks.. and we were thinking.. aiyoh.. no one tell them no more fireworks meh... so poor thing...
But turned out they were right and we were wrong.. cos suddenly got one more round of fireworks..

And we happened to be standing right beside the creek with nothing to block our view :)






If you look carefully, you can see the boats/floating platforms where the fireworks are shot out from.




















Not that i want to haolian.. but living in dubai where twice a year there are fireworks near my place for one full month. really can say we see till we sian liao :) wahahahahaah....

UAE falcon perhaps?

Wah, first time see this.. MOBILE ATM!:)

Ace saw these paddle boats and wanted to play...


You supposed to paddle with your hands...


Looked easy right? Initially he seemed to be enjoying..


Then he start to chiu sng.. wahahahahaahhahaha






Very chuan!:)



Ok.. at least having fun:)



Then we came to the tikam section.. the most crowded tikam stall was this one.. they have a mobile phone box and on top a flat plat... you throw your 1 dirham coin... if you land on the plate, you get a bear... you land three coins, you get a phone!

But looks easy and is in fact very difficult:)


Furthur down they have those villages on exhibitions.. they invited the neighbouring countries to set up a tent and all these people do is to just sit here and sing songs... I think really enjoy man!:)







Lucky Ace got to see how they start fire with just wood!:)



Then time to go home.. cos I was feeling a tummyache coming on.. wahahaha :)

Well, nevertheless still thankful we got to see fireworks twice:) wahahahaa...
