Night Out in Dubai

Side-view mirror view - 2 am at jumeirah beach. I like the way the mosque is lit up.

4 am - Building at the Marina. I like the way it was lit up too. :o)

Same building...

Dubai Marina, 5 am. Foggy day.

Barong Bali!

Take off!

The pool at the villa we were staying at. That's my room in front of it. :o)



They have this thing called "raksha" that they put in front of their houses every morning. It's like an offering to God.



The beach was a short, lovely, walk away from our villa.

... the beach.


Quad biking through the jungle is a messy business!

Temple in Bali.

Have looooads of pics, and mannnnny more memories.

Quad biking, scuba-diving, white-water rafting, pushing people into the pool, getting pushed in, playing water basketball in the pool, just sitting around drinking beer and chatting with friends...

oh man! I need another vacation!

It's all relative!

I was talking with my sister the other day.

Me (in Dubai): Oh! The weather’s so nice and cold here now! It’s 15 degrees! :D
Sis (in the UK): well, the weather’s nice and warm here now. It’s 10 degrees! :P

Let's hope that in 2009 I use up all the pages of my passport! :o)

Wimps galore!

Wonder why men are such wimps?!
Or am I just meeting the wrong kinda men?

The last two men who I sorta happened to kinda date (it’s all very complicated) turned out to be the kind of people who say they are madly in love with me and then when their parents say “no beta! Don’t!” for the silliest of reasons (we don't want girls from the south, was one excuse!) without even getting to know me, the men falter in their steps and say “Oh! Did I say madly in love? Let me rephrase!”
I mean, strap on a pair for heaven's sake!
where are the men?!

Universe, you want me to come up there and kick some serious ass or you guys gonna get your act together?

Btw, the Bali trip was AWEsome!
Will post some pics when I get time.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

My friend had done all the bookings for Bali and he had refused to tell us where we were gonna stay.
He wanted to surprise us.
Today he sent us a sneak preview of where we’ll be staying...

I’m super-excited now, after seeing the pictures of all the rooms I’m going to get drunk in

;o)

Lacking Lustre

I'm leaving for Bali tomorrow.
I'll be back next Saturday.

I'm going with the same gang who I went to Turkey with and a few more fun people.

I don't feel any excitement though.
I'm worried about a lot of things (mainly work) and just running around trying to get stuff in order before leaving.

Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow, once we actually set off.
I'm just so unprepared.
And I don't feel like doing anything.

Lacking life.
