19th Nov 2009 Dubai day 6

Went to Battuta Mall, not much pictures. The mall is pretty nice. With different courts of different country's team. China court, India court, Egypt court is the few of the courts.







Had supper at Burg Al Arab. Really amazing building. Supper cost us 700 dirham. Two pizzas, two bottles of water, three desserts.

Supper was by the beach again. Dark and romantic. ;D

These kinda places will make you feel rich. See the ppl walking into the hotels are all dolled up with thick make up, expensive designer clothes shoes and bags. It makes you feel rich when you're at these kinda place. But, you kinda have to be rich right to be able to pay up a 600 dirham bill for supper? Thanks to daddy and uncle Richard.

I got to go. Pictures will be uploaded onto Facebook. Not going to come online till the 24th. Flying off to Jordan early in the morning tomorrow.

Misses Ruth, Grace, Ash and Gaya.

Love,
Jessica L.

18th Nov 2009 Dubai day 5

Woke up about 9am, went to Jumeirah Beach Hotel for breakfast at La Veranda. As usual, really romantic. :) La Veranda is by the beach, lots of cruises and boats there.






You.

Took a trip to Desert Safari. Our driver was crazy. The way he drive on the desert! I could get a heart attack. You needa be there to experience it, can't explain through words. Just amazing.

Sat on a camel, got myself a hana drawing, belly dancer performed for us, and went home about 8pm. Cost approx 300 dirham per person. Transport and everything included.






Tomorrow, Battuta mall. :)

p/s: Got some personal pics for Ruth and Grace to see ;D winkwink
p/p/s: uploaded some pics on facebook. check it out!

17th Nov 2009 Dubai day 4

It' ; le ll soit étonnant si you' ; re ici avec moi. Se sentir vraiment étrange parfois.

Went over to the second country of the trip, Oman. Passed by a lot of places, Ras Al Khaimah is one I remember the most, since I like the name a lot. :) Stopped by a castle, snap some shots and left.

Khasab is the place we board a personal rented boat, and went dolphin hunting. Cost approx 100 dirham per person. Saw lots of dolphins, really cute, took a video of the dolphin swimming, won't be uploading now, since the internet connection is really bad.

Took us about 3 hours to reach Oman, including all the visa registering and stuff. Had to pay 60 dirham per person to enter Oman. The left hand side of the road we took to Oman is the sea, and on the right, mountains. Really amazing. You can see all Gods creation, the sea, sky and mountains.

There's another place called Musandam, but, I'm just pretty lost la kay about the places. -.-

The sea here is beautiful, like I say, nothing is not beautiful. My brother went snorkeling, I din't bring extra clothes, so too bad :(



The oyster's heart was still beating when the boat driver opened it. He caught a fish when we were fishing and I saw him slice it into pieces, and the fish was struggling. How sad :(

Ahh, the environment is darn romantic. I would definitely bring you here one day. ;)
Tomorrow, breakfast at La Veranda, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, then Desert Safari in the evening. Stay tuned :)

Love,
Jessica L.

p/s: U again.
p/p/s: I miss Grace, Ruth, Ash and Gaya! <3

16th Nov 2009 Dubai day 3

Just a quick one, visited only two places today.

1. Aquaventure, Atlantis
2. Gold Souk, Abra ride

Aquaventure is like Sunway Lagoon. The only difference, everybody is in a bikini, not sure about Sunway Lagoon now, and I'm very sure the people at Aquaventure are hotter. ;D Their slides are pretty cool, and I chickened out one, which is The Leap Of Faith. Totally wasted the 250 Dirham entrance fee -.-



The Leap of Faith

The shark attack ride. Took that. Pretty awesome.

Kid's pool. My sis made me ride one of the biggest slides there. -.-

Had dinner at home, webcam-ed with Ruth, and showed her around. Dinner was at the garden, and went to Gold Souk and took the Abra ride. Which cost only 1 dirham. Gold souk is a street full of Gold shops. Hah, the most amazing thing, their gold shop are not guarded by any guards or metal bars like you would see in KL. Funnay.Largest gold



old shops.



Alright, that's it. Tommorow, will be going to another country, Oman. Will be on the sea the whole day. Stay tuned :)

Love,
Jessica L.

15th Nov 2009 Dubai day 2

I wish Ruth & Grace are here. I'll show them how amazing the buildings are, and scream at the hot dudes we see. I miss you guys. Thanks for the very nice notes, Grace. :D

Arise and shine people, we shall head to the following destination for today. Keep your eyes open wide, and this places might just give you the popping effect, rather than just an eye opener.

Places to visit:

1. Atlantis mall & Resort
2. Madinat Jumeirah Resort & high street market
3. *special* homecooked lunch at Springs 12 ( my uncle's place)
4. Outlet Mall
5. Dinner at Sammach, Souk al Bahar
6. Dubai Mall
7. Get to LOOK(can't enter) at The Burj Dubai

Atlantis resort was amazing. Honestly, nothing is not amazing here at Dubai. The way they decorate and design their resort is just wonderful. Admire those brains, admire those owners even more. There's this aquarium world thingy inside Atlantis, and the aquarium is HUGE.










Nothing much to shop at the high streets, stuff was ridiculously expensive. Madinat Jumeirah Resort was beautiful. They have this approx 1km long river and cruises will take you for a ride on the river for about 100 dirham per person. They even have this mini open air stadium where bands will perform.
Pink guitar for Ruth :D

Souk al Bahar is famous for its world highest water fountain. Had dinner right beside the fountain, and every half an hour, the show repeats. The restaurant, Sammach, is directly opposite The Burj Dubai, the tallest tower in the world. Dinner was good, really expensive as well. :S Food at Dubai is NOT cheap. Just a normal plate of friend rice, you'll have to pay about 15dirham (RM15) and thats like the one's at their worker's canteen, the one daddy's friend brought us to.

Souk al Bahar is connected to Dubai Mall. The most fascinating shop there, to me, is the Candylicious chocolate boutique. Its a big shop, where they sell a sorts of chocs and candies. If I were to work there, I would gain weight like crazy. I'm going to take chocs from the dispenser every minute or two.The Burj Dubai






Love,
Jessica L.

p/s: U.
p/s/s: There's a lot of other pictures, but will only upload them onto Facebook when I get back. :D

14th Nov 2009 Dubai day 1

Ladies & Gentlements, this is your air stewardess cum tour guide speaking. The plane will be taking off anytime soon, and here are the details for your 14th November's tour. The plane would be touching down at the airport about 4am Malaysia time, about 11pm UAE's time. We would be heading down to Abu Dhabi in the morning at 8.30am and here are the destinations:

1. Grand mosque
2. Lunch at Beijing Restaurant
3. Emirates Palace Hotel
4. Marina Mall
5. Heritage Village
6. Dinner at Port Zared
7. The Yas Hotel / F1 Yas Marina Circuit

So basically, I reached my uncle's house at 4am Malaysia time. The flight was good, watched The Ugly Truth, The Proposal and a bit of Angels and Demons. Dinner, supper and hot dudes+chicks was served (WINK WINK) and hmmm, how not to get fat with such delicious airplane food? :S

Slept till 7.30am ( i think, i sorta lost track of time) and got ready for Abu Dhabi. Went round and round looking for the entrance to the Grand Mosque and we finally found it. Loads of tourist were there, and know what I had to wear?


NOT GLAMOROUS AT ALL
Grand Mosque

The mosque was amazing. Every single thing there is detailed, designed very very properly. Rules were strict. Guys are not suppose to touch girls, even though if they are husbands and wife. Went lunch after that and lunch was alright lar. Chinese food. -.- and it felt like dinner to me. Jet lag?


Emirates Palace Hotel was awesome as well, the interior especially, and the strictness just increased its sophisticatedness. ;D We had to get our bags scanned just like the airport before entering. I guess all the big shots stays there. ;D



Meet up with Daddy's friend and he took us to his 'restaurant'. It was actually a canteen for workers, good experience though, and the food wasn't all that bad.

THE BOMB OF THE DAY- THE YAS HOTEL

Please do go check out their website and google images of the hotel and their skylite bar. They have really good looking(hot) bartenders too ;D The design of the whole building is just AMAZING lar. I was speechless when I see it and I'm darn proud to be able to set foot there. I can't exactly tell you by words its beautiness. I dint manage to snap a lot of pictures, but daddy's friend did, with his DSLR. So I'll post up more pictures when I get the pics.

Skylite lounge is the awesomest place there at the hotel, since its pretty new, I can't get an exact picture of how it looks like. Its a ROOF TOP lounge with DAY BEDS around. So its like having a room on the roof top, out door with your personal bartender. Grr, wait till I get the pics lar then I can show you.



It got me thinking of Chuck Bass. In a n episode of GG, He bought over a hotel. Grr, I want to marry a rich guy and ask him to buy over Yas Hotel. LOL. Ok, pretty unrealistic. I should be rich myself, and buy over Yas Hotel. :D Lol. I'm just darn in love with it :) Something missing though when I'm there. The environment was just too romantic, got me thinking of.......


I won't say I regret coming, if it was a friends trip rather than a family one, could be better. Especially when we are at those romantic places. So farney to be with parents. Thanks though, dadda&momma for bringing me here :) I can't wait for the next 11 more days :) Will be flying again to Jordan this Friday.

I miss Grace&Ruth dearly. Damn awesome lar if you guys here :) Imagine what we would be doing if you guys are here? Muahahaha. ;D

Internet here is pretty slow. Thank God I still have access to wifi now, if not... Can't imagine how would it be like in Jordan without wifi? Grr. Oh, Grr is my favourite word now. I keep on grr-ing whenever I can. Grr. Anyway, more pics to post later lar. I needa go get some sleep now.

Love,
Jessica L.
