A Typical Weekend

Fridays and Saturdays are weekends here in Dubai...

Sundays... are actually schooling and working days...

A very typical weekend goes like this here.... On thur night, Max usually has soccer... then he comes home for dinner (but last weekend he didnt have soccer and we met up with frens for dinner instead) and by 11 or 12 midnight, it will be ME TIME for Max as he will go out with his uncle frens for a beer and return later in the night...

Friday, being a day for mosque means it is a day where pple sleep in late.. that's because i think due to the friday prayers, almost all restaurants and eateries are closed from 11am till 1.30pm... so it would be best to eat at home..

So anyway, after you have your meal, you can do nothing but go shopping at the many huge malls here....

This wkend, we went to Mirdiff City Centre.. a shopping mall so big that Max says you cannot finish walking around in... and we found a sports shop inside it called Decathalon which is like Carrefour.. only, it only sells sports stuff...

That's Ace posing with the shuang jie gun...


Ace trying his luck at boxing...


Jumping on the trampoline.. but my funny boy kept sitting down.. it took him a long time to realize that he has to stand up and keep in momentum of standing up and jumping up and down so that he can stay upright..


Ace trying his hand at golf...

Skateboarding....

And Max and Ace posing in front of this mini table tennis table tat Max is very tempted to buy to recreate his memory of playing table tennis with his dad at home when he was young...

Then we went to a furniture shop and Max says this sofa is very comfy.. so both of them posed and pretend to sleep on the sofa...

After that, Ace got hungry.. and we discovered there is a carrefour here and so went there to buy drinks and cake... the cake plus drinks cost us about 20 dirhams and Max says that if we had gone to any of the cake shop or cafe in the mall and tried to have the same amt of cakes and drinks, we would have paid 3 times more lor....

I take back my words about saying that there are no good cakes in carrefour.. the hazlenut cake tat we ate was cheap and GOOD.. and here is PROOF of that! :) wahahahhaahaha...
