Christmas Eve At Madinet Jumeriah

The little boy woke up in the hotel the next day and was very happy lor:)

According to godma, he shared a seat with her father and the two of them just talked for hours on the chair.. giggling non stop.. poor godma and god grandma wanted to sleep right but cannot sleep cos these two men were too noisy.. afterward when I asked Ace what they were talking about, he said they were talking about POOP.. yew...

Anyway, afterward, Ace declared that he is Xiao Uncle and that godma's dad is LAO UNCLE.. and so we called them tat for the rest of the trip.. after this bonding time, the two of them became best frens.. which made god ah ma jealous cos she also wanted to be best frens with Ace as she adored him....

It is really our blessing to know this family lor.. minute we meet they already just welcome us into their group like tat... so all encompassing:) Really make me miss my two sets of parents (in laws included as the other set)....

Anyway, as promised to Annie, I hosted them in my house for a meal that I cooked lah. At her request, I made the niang bittergourd dish.. and i also made salty duck rice and fried an egg... I think the food is not too bad..

In fact, Annie's mum told me that I should be so honoured. Annie does not like to take bittergourd but she took many pieces of what I made:) wahahaha.... she also liked my chilli.. hehehe...
Simple meal made with love okie:)

That's Annie.. super excited n taking photos:)

Ace was also super excited and gave her her present and all of them their christmas cards:)

After lunch, Max managed to book a chrsitmas eve dinner somewhere in jumeriah.. and so, max went to take a nap.. while i went to dress up as Ace entertained the rest of the old folks by showing them how to play dance central and golf on the kinect:)

We made a wrong turn and ended up in a unfamilar part of Jumeriah Madinet... so we just walked and walked...


And as we walked, we just took picture with watever nice thing tat we saw:)


The hotel lobby featured a nice toy train...
We walked inside the hotel grounds and it was simply beautiful...


And before we realized it, we accidentally found the beach!:)

And realized tat we can take fantastic pics of Burj Al Arab here! wow.. heng man! Anyway, when god grandma wanted to take pic, ace ran away.. minute lao uncle wanted to take pic.. he automatic go and take and pose for pic with him lor.. wahahahahah

I think they really have a bond... Annie godma says she has never seen her dad speak to anyone so much.. as her dad is very quiet usually.. and much of an introvert.. wat can I say right? This boy is ren jian ren ai one:) wahahahah


The other side of the beach, we saw this interesting building..

After googling when we got home, we found out it is a restaurant... maybe some day can go there to eat at sunset:)

Wah.. Ace is so strong ah!

Wah, Max lagi best lor!:)



This is Burj Al Arab later in the night...

SO shiok if can come here and chill out at the beach..

Ace took this photo for us.. pretending to get married again lor:) wahahahahhaaha.. second beach wedding!:)

Then afterward we went to the shopping area to walk around.. cos there was some carnvial there..


That is a heater to heat up the environment during cold cold winter:)

Care for a ride on the abbra? Well I prefer the ones at the creek... cost only 1 dh.. the abbra boat ride here cost 60 dh lor.. I think can take at the creek till i xiao lor:) wahahahahaha


We found out you needed to buy tickets into the christmas carnival and so we bought lor.. since the tickets can be used to buy food and drinks there...





In the end, we used the tickets to buy the worlds most expensive 5 packets of cookies:) wahahahahaha... but the cookies were delicious!

Walked around the mall somemore and saw these interesting stuff... this is a quirky map of dubai... I think most of the things on it.. I have already been there, done tat:)



This is the Burj late at night...

I super love this lamp so wanted to take photo with it:)


As we walked to our restaurant, we saw a turtle conservation area...

It was super dark and so after photoshop, this photo still looks lousy.. but you can tell it is a turtle right?:P

Ace said he wanted to take picture with Frosty the Snowman...



We saw this really little chair and when max sat down, it creeked and wobbled and so max got up but the guard there said it is meant to be like tat.. we found out later it is some sort of rocking chair:) Max says it is quite comfy:)


Our restaurant;)

Beautiful candles right?:P

I tried to eat all the desserts featured here but only had tummy to try half of them:) wahahahaha.. and some we were lucky we got the last few pieces lor.. YUMS:)







Everyone is happy.. Annie is surprised when Ace almost dropped something.. anyway, Ace just wanted to open the party popper cos we found out there are little toys and a crown inside each popper.. and becuase Ace is such a lovable kid, alot of adults gave him their toys:) wahaha

And the happiest thing for Ace is that there was SUSHI!!!!!!




We even had a present to bring home:)

Anyway, on our way home, I saw this sign... initially I wondered if it is a lesbian wedding man.. wahahahahah.. anyway, I googled and found out that it is more of like a Hen night... for friends and family to give blessings to the bride:)

And since it was christmas eve, me and Max went out again with the blessings of godma who bb sat ace again.. as Ace really enjoyed staying there... we went out with Max's friends to this club called Club Seven in dubai.. it is similar to Rocky's but the singers here are more chio and got dancers too:)

Also, they serve fruits instead of veg...



Of course after a few round of drinks, we went dancing at the dance floor lor:) hehehe.. it was great fun and Max's buddies are great fun too... hehehe..

Highlight of that night is the table of 15 young, pretty thai babes sitting next to us.. wahahaha.. very soon all the single and available ones in our group all dancing with pretty babes in the dance floor liao.. wahahahaha:)
