I just would like to share a scene you can’t see in Dubai if you’re visiting and only been around to what is called “New Dubai” – all those luxurious street, malls and tall buildings part of Dubai.
(We live in the old part of Dubai, away from the glitz and glamour.)
Here’s an Indian bread maker [...]

This is the part where y’all pause and give me the proud mommy moment

February 21, 2010

Pristine, who attends Year 1 at a nearby International School just got her half-term assessment report and we could never be more proud.
For English:

Reading books aloud at home certainly helped. We love reading books and during bedtime story telling, sometimes we take turns reading instead of me reading the whole story/book.

Human twirling, whirling machines

February 17, 2010

We chanced upon an interesting program at the Dubai Mall in connection with the ongoing Dubai Shopping Festival. Can you twirl, whirl and turn for more than 20 seconds without getting disorientated?

Breathe.
Wipe away the tears. Sit straight. Breathe deeply one more time.
Now, write.
I’ve promised I’ll put it behind me. No more heavy drama on every good news I hear. Damn, these people need to be congratulated, not cried upon! I am sure I am happy for each and every one of [...]
