And Middle Eastern babies are all happy kids. I've never seen one cry. And they always smile back to you. Stress free babies.

Singapore babies are probably at home learning ABCs all the time.

Anyway, just below our hotel, is this fast food restaurant that's called... Eat Max Cafeteria. And they offer fried chicken sets called... MFC.

But I like their fruit juices there. It's so colourful and tastes quite nice actually.

But I hate how I always come back from the cafeteria smelling like roast chicken :(

Since my flight was at midnight on Sunday, we had the entire morning free so we took the bus down to Dubai so I could go take a look at the Mall of Emirates.

Halfway there, we passed by one of Dubai's beaches. It was pretty!!! I was sitting on the wrong side of the bus, so I couldn't get pretty shots.

But seriously, sun-tanning at 38 degrees no joke please.

And on our way to the Mall of Emirates... This is Burj Khalifa that I have mentioned in my previous post. The other buildings around it are almost insignificant...

Lunch was at Paul's @ the Mall of Emirates :)

Boss and me were the only Asians there. HAHAHAHAHA. It's a really nice little cafe to chill out at.


See the cream. Mmmmmm.

And this pumpkin with carrots soup is totally to die for! It's so good I want a bowl of it now!!!

And my apple chiller!

Whole table of food.

But guess what... We didn't even finish half of our main course.

Saddest case ever.

No appetite for one whole week. I get hungry for like 5 minutes, and after that 5 minutes, I can't eat anything anymore. This is pathetic.

So after lunch, we both went our separate ways to shop.

But Mall of Emirates is just like any other shopping mall in Singapore. It's supposed to be big? But I guess it's just like ION, selling high end branded stuff which I obviously cannot afford. I got tired after one hour so I got myself Baskin Robbins and sat somewhere to play tiny tower for the remaining time. Omg their Baskin Robbins was bad. Cheap, but bad.

Funny how I've never eaten Baskin Robbins in Singapore but I've tried them in Genting and Dubai. Going international yo!

Oh back to the Mall. I think the only cool thing they have is a skiing centre!!!

You take the freaking chairlift up and ski your way down. What?! A skiing centre in the middle of a desert?!

Snow city is put to shame.

After shopping, and before going back to Sharjah, we requested our cab driver to drive us to the beach side so we could see the Burj Al Arab in a nicer view.

And omg look at the sun.
And look at the crazy nuts who can stay in this weather for hours.

You say, does it look better in day light?

Oh, there's usually wind and it's quite breezy. But still the heat... No kidding.

Back at the hotel, we chiong to check out and board the bus to the airport cos for whatever reason, everyone's on the bus already when it's supposed to leave half an hour later. Oh well...

So while Boss was busy clearing customs at the airport 6-7 hours before my flight at midnight, I was at the foodcourt... hungry and freezing...

And even more not funny was that my netbook died on me. Should have charged it... :(

HAHAHA I looked like a total IT geek with my netbook and iphone and my old phone, machiam doing big business.

So huge relief when Boss finally whatsapp me to go find her.

Checked in and all, got some stuff and board the planeeeeee.

Damn awesome that the flight was only 1/3 full so we had 1 row each assigned to us!

See how empty the plane is!

So I just shamelessly sprawled across my row of seats and slept through the flight.

Other than the times that I was having my supper... and watching a really sad Taiwanese movie omg I was bawling my eyes out. Thankfully the plane was dark so the lights was out and I was trying not to make any noises lest anyone turned to look at me. But it was so sad I cried 3/4 of the show *sob*

The rest of the time I was zzz-ing.

And the next moment I knew,

Tada I'm back in Singapore!!!

Other photos are up on facebook nong nong time ago!

So... here's all for my Dubai trip!!!
