Adventures In Dubai Day 12: Visit to Jumeriah and Korean Dinner!

Ace woke up late.. Max woke up even later and so Ace started to get hungry and finished his Panda Biscuit.. Then by the time everyone is ready to go out, I thoguht that we can go and eat lunch because it was noon time already.

So we told Ace we wanted to go and eat Brunch or Lunch.. and he insisted tat he wanted to eat breakfast, then lunch, then dinner.. hahahahaha.. so okie, we went to have our lunch.. i mean breakfast...

Lunch was at Paratha King! Well here in dubai, they spell the word PRATA as PARATHA.. very strange.. maybe because of arabic pronounciation or something...Anyway, Max went to order food and Ace got upset tat his dad did not order plain prata but ordered Mushroom and cheese prata... he insisted taht he did not want to eat so much cheese because he will become "Fat fat".. so Max jokingly told him not to share the mango lassi with me because it will make him fat fat too.. and he got so upset he walked away to the staircase to sulk... I so wanted to give him a slap then... somehow Ace behaves diff here in Dubai than in sgp.. in sgp, he listens to reasoning.. and is most of the time ok if I discuss things with him.. here in dubai.. he is like this spoilt brat tat just wants his way.. everytime he doesnt get his way, he goes into a tantrum... like a little tyrant.... and I think Max gives in to him because he hasnt seen him in a long while and maybe wants to make up to him...

But all is well and ends well because after Ace tried the prata, he says it is YUMMY.. and so everyone is happy again lor:)

I had to have a prep talk with him again about how when we go out as a family, we be happy as a family and don't throw tanturms for nothing to make each other unhappy...


Max asked us to try this pickled sauce.. just mentioning that it is a little sour.. I had a taste and it was the MOST HORRIBLE TASTING thing I have ever tasted in my entire life! My hubby is no good one lor... so long no see me... if not he trick me into eating foul tasting things and there was even one time in dragon mart where he tricked me into touching a stun gun...horrigible man! Only nice to his son:S

That's us taking a picture to show off Ace's new sunshades from DAISO.. hahaha.. now everyone has a pair of sunshades..

Then we madeour way to Jumeriah.. can you see the MOST EXPENSIVE HOTEL in the world?:P



We went to this souk which is indoors and air conditioned.. there are hotels here and I think this is about the most amount of ang mohs I have seen.. but the decor here is like the old souks... I saw a very interesting ad in the car park that says, "I wish I were a xxxx (names a type of Volkswagen car)" Cool... Anyway, our conclusion is tat we cannot buy anything here because for sure very expensive! :)



Taking pics with the Burj Hotel...

Ace trying to help me and max take pictures...


These cups are interesting..they say something like "Dubai was so expensive I could only afford half a mug!"

Then Max a call to go back to work and so we had to leave...


Ace was very upset on the way home... until Max found a way to cheer him up ;) By joking with him and playing silly games with him...

On our way back, we saw alot of interesting things... like a boat at the port area, beautiful mosques and a very beautiful iranian hospital.. I realized that Jumeriah is mostly private housing.. kind of like our siglap and east coast..

Iphone 4 is popular here too!

Here are some shots of cars that decorate themselves for National Day... see all the pics of the Shiek?:P

We were channel switching at home and saw a CAMEL RACING on tv!

After Max was done with his work, he brought us to a Korean Restaurant that also sold Chinese and Japanese food... We were happy to realize that they have the sushi that Ace likes.. like inari and tamago sushi...



As usual, Ace finished his meal reallly fast and started running around. He saw three other children from the same family and I think they are korean... he made funny faces at them and they started laughing and so Ace had a field time making them laugh.. he said to us about his new friends, "They cannot speak english, they only know how to laugh.." Hahaha. i would say laughter is an international language:)

Anyway, the kids' dad gave Ace a lollipop and the 4 kids just ran here and there.. all over the restaurant.. and it is a rare time where Ace was a leader.. cos most of the time, Ace is a follower...

He was so excited to play with them that he didn't even want to finish his ice cream!

We discovered a korean supermarket and found lots of cheap and good food.. and did some supermarket shopping both there and in the ang moh supermarket below the restaurant... Max bought some soya milk and Ace said he wanted to drink the milk.. the milk was ok but was too sweet for my liking... Ace drank the soya milk and said he is drunk...

He became "crazy ace" and started running around the house, pakcing the house (because he wanted to invite daddy's colleagues to our house for xmas because they have been nice to daddy... and then he started riding daddy like a horse... walking all over daddy's back and he just REFUSED TO SLEEP!


He even took my shower cap and did a dance with it..

That night, Ace slept FINALLY at 1.30am..... hahahaha..
