Sunset At The Palm

Since we arrived in Dubai, the weather has been hot hot hot... so leh, there is really not much motivation to do anything or go anywhere except supermarket shopping and shopping malls...

Perhaps the weather is better now.. or perhaps it is Max's reward to Ace and me for waiting for him past that weekend that he was away and pass half of this weekend when he had to do OT, Max came home on Friday afternoon after his OT and declared that he will bring us someone special and that we should not ask him where....

But I could tell we are heading towards Jumeriah and then when he missed a turn and went to far up, he had to confess then that he was actually bringing us to The Palm at Dubai.. which is a famous hotel by the sea...
Take a look at the beautiful scenery on the way there...

And the houses here al look like resorts.. hahahah:)

Finally found the right way and appraoching The Palm...

It's a super windy day.. just check out the direction the leaves of the tree are all blowing in....

We passed by The Palm and there were so many people who were just hanging around and taking pictures.. many of them are indians... move inside the hotel to the actual people who stay there and they are mostly caucasians...

A nice, clear picture of the palm WITHOUT other distractions.. wahahahah:)

As we were driving, I noticed that the sea iis just on the left side of us.. Max says we will make a u-turn, find a place to park and sit there to enjoy the beautiful scenery and wait for sunset together:)

Ah.. too bad I din bring my camera.. but well, let's not waste any more time and start camwhoring with the iphone! hahahahaha

But the wind is very strong and so Ace is frightened.. frightened that he gets blown away and frightened that his sunglasses will be blown away.... wahahahahahha....

Plus, the very strong wind is creating very big waves and sending sprays of water towards us even though we are quite some distance away from the sea...

But we quickly get Ace to pose for a few pictures anyway:)


And now a family shot.. Max has to FORCE ace to look into the camera... hahaha

Afterward, Ace says "I don't like the sea, I want to go into the car..." And so, while we were enjoying the sun and the breeze and the sea and the sunset, this strange little boy is happy just to stay and play in the car!



The sun approaching the horizon soon...

My attempt at a panaromic picture..


Max asking me to pose against the waves...

Ace is just happy to stay in the car...


I love this photo.. the lighting makes everything so warm and sweet.. you know... like the feeling of LOVE :P


Then Ace had a brilliant idea and asked if I could take a picture of him driving the car...





Goodbye, sun....




And so, the sun finally set....

It was really a lovely evening out...

And then, we decided to proceed to a restaurant in The Palm for dinner:)

Akan Datang for part two in the next post:)
