My Favorite dessert

My favorite dessert is "Legaimat" which is a traditional Arabic food, that people usually enjoy eating while drinking coffee or tea. Almost every house in the UAE prepares this dessert in the holy month of Ramadan. I'm no chef! So I have no idea how to make one, but I can suggest that you visit Al Fanar Restaurant in Dubai Festival City if you are looking for the best Legaimat ever.

Enjoy & Have Fun!

Yesterday, I went to Yas Water World in Abu Dhabi with my friends, we decided to go on Thursday since every Thursday is ladies night. I really enjoyed every game, the park is huge and has many rides even a roller-coaster; which will take you on a tour around the whole park!

What I liked about the park is that prices for tickets are affordable ranging from 210 for regular tickets and 385 for premium. Also, I liked the fact that every game has an Arabic name for example; Sebag which mean race in English. However, what was really tiring is that we had to wait approximately 45 minutes for each ride because of the long queue. So if you are willing to visit the park I suggest going any other day except for Thursday, and if you wishes to go on a ladies day, then make sure you buy your tickets in advance and go for premium instead of regular. Enjoy and have fun!

Habit

Afternoon tea, everyday around 5:00 o’clock I have to drink two to three cups of tea. I know it’s somehow a bad habit but what can I say it’s an addiction! to prepare the tea with milk it doesn't take 10 minutes and I can do it myself. Here around the UAE it is called "Karak" and it's part of the culture and Emirates habits to sip at least a cup a day. That's why in every corner of Dubai streets you'll find a Cafeteria who offers Karak.  

Looking forward for 1st of May!

After one week exactly is my best friend birthday Sara. Therefore, I spent the day planning for her birthday, and I came up with what I think is a nice idea. I'll go to her house uninvited and without her being there, I'll decorate her room with balloons, candles and the gift. Plus, today I made a reservation for dinner at Zuma restaurant in Dubai International Financial Center, where we will have dinner and celebrate her birthday afterwards when the waiters will sing and bring her birthday cake over. looking forward for that!

Quiz and exam!

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013

Today we had an advanced accounting quiz plus a midterm exam in one day. The quiz was multiple choose test, which were really confusing and required deep and critical thinking. The midterm, however, was a bit long and fairly divided with easy to medium questions. I really hope that i did well in both can't wait to have the grades! 

Sebastiao Salgado

Sunday, April 21st,2013 

I and my colleagues were gathering at Rowdha’s residence once again in order to complete our presentation for Mr.tridib’s course. The topic of our presentation was the photographer Sebastiao Salgado. He is an interesting person with many beautiful black and white photographs, who he took of four main aspects: poverty, injustice, war and landscape. If you are looking for inspiration I would suggest you buy one of his books which are available through amazon and other retailers.    

Movies again!

Saturday, April 20, 2013

Last weekend, I went to the cinema twice in two days. The movie I watched was fire with fire it’s an action movie for Bruce Willis and Josh Duhamel. The story started when a fireman testify against a criminal, who later on threatened his life. Well, the movie is not that good because the story is just like any other and it was more of a drama movie than action! So I don’t recommend watching it.  

Movies

Yesterday, my friend insisted on going to the movies and I eventually agreed not knowing what movie she chose. We went to oblivion for Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman, it is an action fiction movie, which I didn't like or enjoy at all. it is about a man who is assigned for a mission to save earth when suddenly he starts to doubt his mission and himself. I think I wasted my time spending 2 hours watching the movie when I really don't like fiction movies. Therefore, I don't recommend watching it unless you are into fiction movies!

Today's class

At college during Mr.Tridib's class we had a discussion regarding the various steaks people can eat, including strange animals meat such as kangiros. which made me feel weird since I don't eat beef in the first place  

Project time

Sunday April 14th,2013

Spending the day at Rowdha Kamali's residence pretending to work while I and my colleagues were actually satisfying our cravings eating fresh homemade Kunafa. Which is originally a sweet or dessert prepared by Syrian people. However, we Emarati learned how to prepare the sweet and added our touch to it to make it special and unique. 

  

A great experience

Saturday, April13th,2013

Spending the day fishing in the middle of the ocean enjoying a great new experience with friends. I really spent a great time since I was able to go fishing for the first time in my life and also catch my first fish. It felt great and it was really exciting, however, the fish I caught was tiny and small and the others were lucky to catch bigger fish. I call it a great day not only a great experience, since the day was well organized, we enjoyed many activities not only fishing but also, cruising, swimming and cooking!
