Back Again - For how long this time I don't know...
I’ve just not had the commitment to update my blog recently. I am hoping to revive my interests again at least to put an update every now and again. It seems in my absence quite a few interesting bloggers have called it a day or taking time out. What a shame, really.
Well where do I start…
I was back in Abu-Dhabi over summer and had a wicked time. It was the first time in years that all my family (brothers & sisters) were actually reunited and under one roof. Of course this time with the added pleasure of having my own family; consisting of my loving wife (E) and gorgeous daughter (Little M).
Little M loved it as she was occupied all the time. She went from a quite home of two to having nine to play around with. We took her to the beach for the first time. Initially, she was terrified from the sea and the sand but she enjoyed her time after that.
We had trips to Dubai’s Wild Wadi, City Centre, Souks, Restaurants and Sheesha Café’s. I was pretty much fed-up of Dubai by the time I was leaving.
We had a memorable trip to Al-Ain were my dad decided to take us the Zoo in mid-afternoon. I was gassed out just walking from the parking lot to the park entrance – it was ridiculous but we ended up laughing about it later. We drove up Jebel Hafeet and ofcourse my favourite part of Al – Ain was swimming in the natural springs even though I could only last about 10 minutes or so as it was extremely hot.
Times in Abu-Dhabi consisted of linking up with my cousin who I haven’t seen in 6 years – we were really close before and I thank him for showing me a good time. We had spent endless hours in sheesha café’s chilling, playing cards and ofcourse every Arab’s favourite pastime argueing ;o)
On the whole it was a much needed holiday to be honest.

How do we know who's posting- sweet sugar or tobasco?
Thanks for stopping by on my modest little blog... Dubai gets boring for everyone after a while.. and as for bloggers - everyone stops eventually I guess, once they no longer need words to maintain their sanity!
Likewise thanks for stopping by. The "Posted by" at the bottom of the posts will give you a clue of who's posting ;). I've been unsuccesful of luring sweet sugar to post again but she might surprise me sometime.
Tbh never been a big fan of Dubai I very much like the quieter emirate of Abu-Dhabi.
:P abu dhabi's boring :P i went to see Christina Aguilera perform last week and I was pretty shocked at the risque-ness of it all!
Not really my scene to be honest, I can't comment on what it is you saw that was risque but I can't take a good guess there ;). AD is less eventful and peaceful than Dubai but thats one of the reasons why I love it.
