I zoomed out of the house early at 8.10am, so as to miss the cleaners. (It's either to sleep in super late or run out super early) Haa... AGAIN, i'm so suay to wait for the bus for 1 hour and headed towards Jumeira area. Main aim is to cover Souk Madinat Jumeirah...
It's again a market place (think, night markets in Bkk), but this is the high-class kind, covered and air conditioned, machiam shopping mall with a twist. Well, there are beach resorts and hotels at the area and so this souk is real pretty IMO. I forgot to top up my wallet before I left the house and so I didn't have much $$ with me. :(
Got myself a lil' camel toy, hee, will remind me of Dubai when I'm home, v cute la. (I got myself an Elephant from Jim Thompson when I went BKK larh.) Got mama a blouse, i hope it's not too small... =X and also got something to hang in the house. Well, persian carpets are one of the can-buy items here, but we don't need one, so I got a mini version, with antique silver ornament hanging down (camels) so it looks like a carpet-flag thingy. Expensive but sweet.
Took pictures of the Burj Al Arab, the icon of Dubai. Silly me didn't walk further to take a picture upclose. Eugene also chided me for not going down larh... Fine, I will make my way there before I leave. Hmpf.
Cabbed down to Mercato shopping mall. It's an Italian inspired building. Very beautiful, you won't feel that you're in Dubai, it feels like Europe. Went around snapping pictures of the mall. Wanted to get dates and date-products but no more money!!! :(
Took the bus home, very very tired... don't know why too... And now, i'm getting the effects... Horrible headache plaguing me. Tomorrow and Saturday is the weekends! Yay, the boys will be out with me! More fun coming my way before I leave...
I.Hate.This.Feeling. :(
