Family ties...

 Just 5 of us. We are very close to each other.

 This was the best time to meet. The weather in Dubai was not too hot. It was breezy. But night time was so busy. Traffic was the worst ever.

 We were at the Burj Al Arab. The food was delicious. The interior design of the building was superb.

 The apartment we stayed at.

 Priceless...I am the eldest yet...the shortest...emmm...

 The 5 siblings. I hope mom and dad are watching us from heaven. They must have a big smile to see us together like this.

 My brother in law, Zaini also joined us on this trip. We all have a great time.

 Posing and posing...

 Anita...

Anita's new front yard is ready for viewing. The fountain is flowing non stop all day. At night it was beautiful with colorful lights. Lovely!

Scenery in Dubai...

 It was a long trip for me, but I am happy to see my siblings. My brother and my sisters flew from Malaysia to Dubai. Anita and I flew from UK. Dubai was a bit hotter at this time but the scenery are so beautiful. We stayed in the 46th floor apartment and above picture was the view from our living room. I can see the Palm of Jumeira on the right.

 The mosque in Dubai.

 A quick stop at Hard Rock Cafe in Dubai.

 Beautiful building in Dubai.

At Anita's house in UK. Ida cooked such a delicious nasi lemak. She used the banana leaves to serve the rice. My favorite dish was the sambal paru. She brought it all the way from Malaysia. It was really a nice treat. Yummy!!

Stay tuned for more pictures.

When in Dubai...

It is said that April showers bring May flowers. But it was not an excuse for me not to update this blog. I have been very busy with chores around the house, caregiver to my love one and starting seed indoor for the vegetable garden. The weather has been weird lately. One day it was warm like spring is here, then the next day it was cold like in winter. I am sure the plants are as confuse as I am. I was ready to pack all of my winter jackets and store them in the closet, but then, suddenly, this morning the temperature went down to 30°F (below freezing).

Life is too short, that is what I have been telling everyone. My sister has the same thought. So, she invited all of her siblings to meet half way across the globe. We spent 5 days lurking the city of Dubai.

 We spent a day at the dessert. Firstly, we were taken through the dessert ride in a 4 wheel drive car. It was the best experience ever. My niece was excited. We all feel like we are on a roller coaster.

We finished the night with a nice dinner and entertainment. The food was awesome. The performance was great.

 Before dinner, we spent a few minutes up on the dessert hill watching the sunset. My youngest sister could join us. So, above are my brother and sisters.

 The sun finally set.

 My brother, Anita, Myself, and Aton. My youngest sister was missing from the picture. I cannot wait for another trip like this. Meeting all the sibling, 5 of us in one place without any disturbance from the kids and the husband was fun.

Never in my wildest dream did I think I could ride on the back of a camel. Honey was surprise too. He thought that I would not dare since I am afraid of a horse.  

I really had a great time on this short trip. 

Stay tuned for more updates...

p/s The garden is ready for planting...yeay!
