:: abu abu abu dhabiiii ::

I had a super looong stay in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE last week.
I tried searching online the places to sightsee...but to my dismay, not much info was found. WHAT A SHAME!! Instead, what pops out most were those places in Dubai...which is a good 2hr taxi ride from Abu Dhabi..and cost about 70SGD (one way). Wanted to go over Dubai as Jenn was there at the same time. But the taxi fare was too steep for us... So we stayed put.

Roy, my leading, called me up early in the morning. We had buffet breakfast downstairs and had a suuuuper long chat...from 9am all the way till 2pm! It was nice...and ya..i think i know his family and his life pretty well now. He's such a jovial person..not only he made me laughed, he made the waitresses there laughed as well. Basically, he just makes everyone at ease. He just couldn't stop talking. Over at dinner one night with other colleagues and pilots, the captain challenged him to try stop talking for a minute. Ha..He just couldn't do it. Hahahaa...
So anyway, Roy accompanied to do some sight-seeing after i found out from the conceirge what's interesting here. They do have some desert tours... And so we took up one of them.

We went to the sand dunes by Toyota LandCruiser....and we literally crrruuuuisssse on the sand!! We went up and down the dunes in the Jeep! It was like a roller coaster ride and I'M LOVING IT!!! Now I'm even MORE SURE i will get a Jeep next time!!!Woohooo...

After that adventure in the sand, we were taken to a "base camp" where we have several activities there. I tried on the arabian women costumes... tried to do the sand boarding but end up stucking there and ate lotsa sand!!! Rode a camel as well..but not for very long... And lastly we had our dinner there. The typical arabian food...It was excellent!!! What a tiring night!

For the next 2 days, i just went out shopping at the mall. (yes....again??) Coz they are having sale there! (dun bullshit lah Val..that's just excuses). But but.....oh well... There's nothing to do over there anyway...

(yah yah..you brought your swimming costumes u could have swam...brought your laptop n could at least update your blog?)

Oooops!!!
