Yuva and Sara's Visit to Dubai

I don't remember when was the last time I laughed so much. Well I do giggle all the time but laughing till your tummy aches and your eyes tear up. That pretty much sums up to how much of laughter we had for the last 5 days. Yuva And Sara (Saravana Kumar) at last made a trip to Dubai. They were on their way back to Glasgow from Malaysia and we had only 5 days with them.

Sara is one of Fairoz's very good friend, safe to say his best friend. They go back a long way. Yuva his wife and Sara are both doing their Phd in Glasgow. They both make a lovely couple just like us. He he. Timing was perfect when they were here since we had school break from the 15th till the 19th. So I had no worries keeping up to routine and school rush. It was a short visit but one to be remembered.

Usually whenever we have guests Fairoz comes up with a long printed schedule on where to visit and good places to eat. So this time was no different. We had the list again but to our surprise they wanted to take it easy and not rush as they just came back from Malaysia where everything was a big rush as always. So we too sat back and relaxed and did what we could. We managed to bring them to Dubai Mall Aquarium , Dubai Festival City, Heritage village, Chamber of Atlantis and they went for the Desert Safari. I wished we could have brought them to Global Village but the one time we tried we could not even enter the place and somehow time went by and we could not go. There is always a next time. The main thing we did when they were here was just to catch up with each other and have a good time. And that's what we did. We talked and talked and talked. Anyone who knows Sara knows that he can just crack you up by just looking at you. Boy did he make us laugh or what. I feel like I laughed so much that today without them around feels like i've just had the most boring day of them all.

Hope they can make another visit soon or us going up to Glasgow. Thank you for coming and being with us. We too had a little break and having friends like both of you is the best anyone can ever hope for. Like they say all good things must come to an end. Looking forward to the next one with you guys.

Hello Again

He he..I know what you're gonna say kak Gim. Ok I'm here dusting off my blog again. Seriously I get so much of ideas to write but somehow again time plays a nasty trick on me. I have to admire some women out there. How do you manage to keep your blog in tip top shape and still juggle with everyday life. Give yourself a lot of pats on the back.

Just thought of dropping a line or two and see how things go this time. So what has happened so far. Let me see. Azfar has moved from nursery to KG2 to Grade 1. He's a brilliant boy. We are working very hard to get some things sorted out but I'm sure all will be well in due time. Little Hanaa Z is in nursery now. Currently she is attending Palms Nursery. 10 minutes drive away. I was just too excited about both kids going to school. just imagine the time i will have. Boy was I so wrong about that. The drop offs and pick ups is done by me now. Yes got my driving license. After failing 2 times...not bad in a place where people actually fail 16 times and then leave the country. Well to get back to the leisure time i was talking about. None...what leisure time. It's either sit down and be a couch potato or sleep or start cooking and doing the laundry. Well with two kids who only eats home cooked meal and being the laundry freak I am I guess it's safe to say that I come back and start cooking and cleaning and by the time I know it it;s time to go pick them up. Im writing this so fast so please pardon me for any errors. No time for spell check coz i know if I do that this thing will never get published.

SO kids off to school and what else...Well it's 2011...Happy New Year...My parents and sister's family came down last December. It was great fun. One good memory and just Last month my in laws came down for the first time. Somehow with school and it's timing we still managed to have lots of fun. Thank you for making us very happy with your visit.

That's all for now...Let's see how long it takes this time. Ciao
