Calculator & Phone Number Pad Arrangement

This question came across my mind some time ago: Ever wondered why they are arranged differently?

Rabbit

It may seem unusual for some, but its a delicacy in Malta. I remember having it when i was young, when my mum deep fried it and it tasted like chicken. Ed and I had a rare chance to taste it, thanks to Marjoe's parents...


Yup, its the leg... Delicious...

Pool & Billiard

We've been playing pool for quite awhile since last year, and finally found some courage to play a game of billiard (or snooker) yesterday with Michael. Its definitely more fun and challenging than pool, and give me more "satisfaction" everytime the ball goes into the pocket.

Anyway, here's a video clip that you'll watch in awe... even for those who don't play the game... simply breathtaking to watch...

Busy December

Now at Jeddah airport, after spending 6 long days in Saudi, finally going back to Dubai. 3 days in Riyadh & 3 days here is really long and hectic. Can't wait to get back to Club GS10 and have a good rest... Too much less sleep!!!

The next few months will be tougher. Hope that i can focus well, and insha'allah things can get good here. This may be my biggest challenge yet...

Had a great week when my family visited me before i came to Saudi. Spent lots of quality family time together (with TF too), and home cooked food... Mum almost brought the whole fridge over! Can't wait to finish up the remaining goodies.

Half the month has passed in a blink... and hope that i'll be back in SG for CNY soon...

Jebel Hafeet

Having 4 days off from work during the Eid holidays, so we decided to go somewhere. Went to Fujairah on friday, but it was quite disappointing. So Ed and I decided to go somewhere more interesting: Jebel Hafeet - the highest point in the UAE.

Jebel Hafeet is in Al Ain, and will have to take the mountain road to the top. This road, some calls it the World's Greatest Driving Road. Go search on the internet, there're many articles and pics on this famous road. Here's a link.

Its about 1.5 hrs drive from Dubai, and the mountain road up takes about 15 mins for a casual drive. Truely magnificent...

The smooth winding road...


On top of the world! err... UAE only lah...
