I'll keep this short and simple.
Gays are not like women. They're just not manly enough.
Psychos are not crazy. They're just below normal.
Fuckers aren't sex addicts. They're the ones who get into trouble most of the time.
Sissies are somewhat like gays.
Scumbags are somewhat like fuckers.
Smart people aren't intelligent. They're just too good to memorize.
Everything in this world makes a little sense when you see things differently!
Putting all this into a local context.
Omanis, when cruising 24/7 in the streets, are psychos.
Every Omani boy is Gay in front of other Omani boys. (with some exceptions)
Scumbags and sissies will evolve in 2020 for Oman's new vision of the future.
Every omani boy is a fucker in the neighborhood.
More to come in the near future after lunch :D

Amazing facts
Amazing facts:If you want to enjoy life, don't think about yourself, don't think about others. Think about what's happening to you, and what's happening to others. For example, I want to go to Ibiza. I cannot buy ticket. I'm too cheap. I just sit back, and wear sunglasses with tropical juice.
If I want to be a millionaire, I dont have that amount of money. I go to cashpoint, withdraw 1000 dollars ($1 bill each) and pretend it is millions, and just spread them around me. Very reasonable!
If you want to discover oil you cannot because you dont have oil equipment.
You cannot buy 4 cell phones at once because no fitting in pocket!
Cinema is good if you have Nachos with cheese and Jalapeno because your stomach will be dum dum dum.
Laptop makes your balls boil so dont chat for more than 30 minutes.
Lacoste is better than Puma because crocodile can eat cat!
If you think I'm crazy, please dial for emergency. PS: I ain't crazy, i'm just trying to be more Iktessiobaan! :D that word doesnt exist so dont bother searching. put whatever you wanna put instead!
Good job!

london baby!
All I can say is that it's been amazing getting out of Oman. I feel like a desperate Asian Immigrant who wants to get the hell outta their own country. Hmm ok, as most of you all now, I am officially in the UK. That's right! London Baby!!! Supposedly, I'm here for some training at the Royal Banko of Scotlandio sent by the company in Oman. But until now, I haven't digged deep into something useful that'll give them, and myself, a definite assett! Anywhos, so I'm thrown in zone 2! East london, work is at central london, zone 1. Around 40 mins by underground, and sometimes, it takes up to an hour!
It was fun the first 2 weeks but by now. It's getting ugh-y!! lol!
Hmm I got almost 7-8 weeks left in the UK. Talking about weeks and days, I am hoping to spend New Year's eve in Las Vegas! I was checking out some prices n all, and its pretty cheap for this time of the year. The only thing remaining is the company's approval! Which we will see tmr! okkk..enuff of work, lets start the good stuff.. i get drunk every weekend.. and get high as well.. almost every day :P lol jkk!!!! hmm.. i've been "partying" pshh yea right, i went ONCE.. i just realized that british clubs are not as good as the ones in the US.. poor thing my tourguide returned back to Oman.. Apart from that, I've met up with friends from Uni, from High School and from middle school as well!!! It's pretty amazing how small this world is!
I hope I can make it to Vegas! really looking forward to it!
hmm what else, my cousin's been very nice to me. He has offered me free accomodation. (of course theres something in return), which is accompaniment! Guys, please, dont think tooo far.. it's not what you think! Nah, he's just stressed out for his exams and needs some mental and emotional support (NOTHING PHYSICAL...YET ;) )hehehe.. so yea, it's been going good so far. I've made some new friends .. british that is, and a couple of french ones too. They dont mingle together usually cuz they don't like each other, but these people are an exception. They're pretty much flexible with everything. FINALLY.. KRISPY KREME donuts is just chopping me off! maaaan you won't believe how amazing those donuts are. I just can't live without eating at LEAST 2 each day..ok make that 1! YUMMAY!!!
*buuuuuuuuuuurp*!!! :$ excuse me!
peace

Up D.A.T.E
I have no excuses nor any reason to tell you peeps why I haven't posted for quite a while. I was "EX"tremely busy with work, and "EX"tremely busy trying to re-unite with a couple of "EX" classmates back in highschool (which of course, I only see them once every 6 months or so). Sounds lame, but true. :)
So the summer holidays are over. Schools and academic institutions have re-opened once again. Wow, we're back to square one! The only thing I have done during the holidays was.. just like any Omani who got fused out, was going to Dubai. It's a pretty fun place to chill out for the weekend. But it's about time that I've had enough of it. So, I planned on spending a night at Shangrila's Barr Al Jissah Resort. All I can say is that I was treated like a King, like a Hero, like a Lord! The rooms were amazing. Mine had a beach view as well as part of the pool. Yea, I had the Executive room..which pretty much suits me :) . I ate as much as I can in all different cuisines. But at the end, I was shocked to see the final BILL...a bloody 300 rials :s! Ouch.. loool!!!
Hmm yea coming back to dubai, I've been to the indoor ski dome (Ski Dubai). What a marvelous piece of work they have done. Imagine, its 45 degrees outside, your body's temperature is 37 degrees and the temperature inside is below ZERO. Got the mix? I skied for a bloody hour but then gave up because of the intense chilly temperatures inside. Did some shopping, not that much. Had fun overall :)
Now we're in Ramadan. It's kinda hard this year because it's getting closer towards the summer. I just hope it skips coming in June-August lol. I dunno but this year's Ramadan preparations are not as good as the previous ones. I haven't seen nor heard any events that are happening recently. Plus, most coffee shops close at 1am. Jeeez! 1 AM??? and that's on a WEEKEND! DAAAYUM! lol!
ok sounds like I've wrote enough.
miss y'all
peace!

"It's me, I'm back again"
It has been a while since i've posted, or at least wrote 1 phrase of whatever is going on in this world. Guys, I swear to God, i've been busy with lots of stuff. Not only with work :s!! It's like I'm divided into different pieces that are made to do different tasks simultaneously.
Anyways, just to update you on whatever is going on:
1. We (at work), are supposed to be moving out to a new building by June 15; however I doubt that we will be able to. I'm really looking forward to get the hell outta the old building simply because there are no windows at my place. All I can see is people coming in and going out from the handicapped toilet! ugh! The office is just a mess. It's like a pitstop for anyone who wants to pass to the other side. I don't really mind having people sitting at my office, but its like, they're sitting their as if they're waiting for the bus or something. You know! lol!!
2. I was supposed to go to London for a 3 months course. It was ORIGINALLY scheduled for April 1. Yes, April 1, 2006! What day is it today? June 9. So... 2 months and 9 days delay! WOW!!! Are we waiting for Jesus to come back to life so that a new life can emerge or what? The last "scheduled delay" was supposed to be on June 1 (9 days ago), but again, due to unforseen consequences, it has been delayed! I still HAVE to go simply because I want to run away from this heat!
3. Already completed 1 year since I came to oman. May10 to be precise! I'm so proud I survived 1 year! :D
4. For the first time ever in Oman.. well the first time in my own personal experience.... dance floor? Couples only ? Singles allowed also? Formal dress code? does this ring a bell? YEP, THE PROM!!! Apparently, I thought that someone was gonna host a private party at the hyatt, but then the DAY of the event I asked some people about the dress code, and it turned out to be a formal code. I was like what? is this a prom or something? they're like "yeah"! JEEZ, what the hell am i going to do in the middle of 200 people of whom I have no single clue of who they are! It was OK! It ended up (for me) to be a dinner outing with friends along with some "dance watching". What more can i do? Dance with some strangers?? pshh yeah right!!!!
5. I had the BEST hair cut ever. It's shaved to 0 (zero). However, its gradually growing by the day! I had some nice comments from people about the hair style, so I guess its going to be the "ill keep it for this year style" type of thing!
6. Are you getting bored from reading through a list of what's happening in my life? It's like instructions on how to operate a mouse trap!. Are you really interested? Do you really care??? If so, continue to point 7.
7. I'll be posting more stuff soon. Just waiting for your intellectual comments!
Have fun everyone!!
peace!!!

Muscat Festival 2006
Today's the final day of Muscat Festival 2006!! As if I felt that there was a festival at the first place!! It's my first time going to the festival on sunday feb 6, after 8 years of rejections and denials to go to the fest!! I didn't want to go, but with some peer pressure, I managed to. The purpose of going to the festival was partially to experience what the cousin of sleep feels like. Thanks to kamakazy and his absolute courage in riding the 'sling shot'. I really recommend you guys NOT to ride in any of these amazing rides that are customly built for MCT fest!
One of the rides that kamakazy rode had some technical problem while he was 40 meters above the ground! hmmmm sounds goood for an adrenaline overdose buzz, as kamakazy puts it! you can feel the excitement from deep inside when there's a technical problem..
pshhh if i was paid to ride in any of those, i'd simply reject!
anyways, here are some pix of the fest!
ENJOY..
Mr T, Mohammed, Moatasim and Sultan smiling at the cam
Kamakazy getting ready to ride!
MOI looking excited!
Anywhos, today's the last day of the fest!
Peace :)

Love is in the air
OK first off let me set some rules and regulations before I start talking about this subject:
1) I don't mean to offend anyone.
2) It's just a personal view!
Well, after 8 straight months of living in Oman, I have JUST started to adjust myself to the environment here. The thing that still does not click thru my head is.... (let me give you an example) --- (Allah yester 3alaihum .. i won't mention any names because it won't sound good)
When I first arrived here, one of the first priorities is my network. This includes friends, family, relatives and what not. I was really concerned about our past relationships because I've been out of this country for more than 8 years. Anyways, so I made some friends, from different style, different lifestyle. The only problem is... the opposite sex! I still don't understand whats up with the girls here in Oman. Actually, the khaleeji girls in general!
I once got to know this girl, through a friend (who's a girl too). Anyways, we were having a cup of coffee at Starbucks. So she's like you know Ali, we should meet up in the future. I was like OK sure. We exchanged numbers and all that, and so I gave her a call the next day to say hi and what not. She didn't respond. I didn't care. I just forgot about it, until the weekend came, and the other girl, the one i knew before called and was like hey Ali let's meet up again. I was like sure who's coming with you? She's like so n so.
We met up, at the same location, started talking, and that same girl told me. Oh Ali I couldn't answer your call last week because I had some issues with my boyfriend. I thought it was OK to ask what happened, but she gave it to me straight in the face. "none of your business". Jeeez! Whats up with this attitude! I called her back after we left, still didnt respond. I called her one more time the next day. She answered and we started talking. Then all of a sudden, just outta the blue she told me "Listen, I don't know what do you want from me? If you want to meet up then call my other friend and we'll meet up, but just calling me is not right!". I just told myself : WHAT THE F**K is wrong with you. Anyways I didn't wanna bother myself with bullshit, so I just didn't call her since then.
Thats one example.
Another example that recently happened to me is that here in Oman, MOST (not all, but MOST) of the girls that I know shayfeen nafes-hum and met3aqdeen. They think that I need them for something. They think I want them for something. Maybe they had bad past experiences, but don't generalize things. If I wanted a girl for something I'd go straight up to her and ask her directly! But just assuming that I want something, and making 7arakat and I dunno what is just bullshit!
Oh and let's not forget, the loooove conversations on msn!!!!! How complicated can it be. It's true! I'm not making this up! :D (check out this typical example)
GUY: Hala
GIRL: hala
GUY: How are you?
GIRL: Ok, and u? Where have you been the past few days?
GUY: Oh I've been busy, but I MISS U LOTS
GIRL: Me 2. I (presses enter) Mi (minimizes the screen to check if anyone is around the house, comes back) Miss (presses enter) U (presses enter) and closes the msn window, and goes out the house to check if her parents came back.
GUY(talking to himself): It took her 8 weeks to say I miss you. Wow. Scratches his head. How much longer will it take her to say I love you? Yel3an abu el sa3a eli jeet!
OR... pick me up situation. (on the phone) =)
GUY: Hey sweetie what time shall we meet up?
GIRL: In 1 hour. Pick me up from the back door.
GUY: Ok
1 hour later, he's behind the house waiting for her. The guy calls up the girl.
GUY: Where are you?
GIRL: Oh I can't go out today because.. because.. oh because I have something due tomorrow and I didn't know about it not until now. I just checked my agenda a few mins back. And plus no one's in the house. ---- *to herself* ma fathya...
GUY: Ok
GUY *talking to himself*: Yel3an abu elsa3a eli jeet!
OR... not the right time situation.. the girl calls up the guy, and she KNOWS that he's busy doing something. Let's say, invited for lunch over at a friends place :)
GIRL: Hey sweetie are you free now?
GUY: Not really, why is there something wrong?
GIRL: Oh you know, I'm really sorry about last time. You came and I couldn't make it, so I was wondering if you can come now.
GUY: But I'm invited for lunch over at my friends place!
GIRL: But this is the ONLY time that I can leave because I told my parents that I'll be shopping, and they agreed. Otherwise, I won't be able to see you for another 2 weeks. You know, my car's in the garage, and my family from dubai are coming.
GUY: Ok i'll call you back in a few
GUY*to himself*: Yel3an abu el sa3a ili jeeet!
I'm just laughing right now! because whatever I said is true! At the end of the day, I just got used to how complicated the girls here are. But at the end of the day, you can't live with them, and you can't live without them! Also, it's because of the local traditions and the local customs here. You can't do stuff as if you are in the states or latin america. And you can't limit your fun as if you're in an extremist nation. Just enjoy life, and have fun :) . To the girls, I'm more than happy to hear a similar story from a female point of view! I just looove drama, and trouble!!! Once again, I'm not saying that khaleeji girls are bad and I don't mean to hurt anyone. No. KHaleeji girls are educated, respectful, smart, and most of all, better looking than western and other arab girls. SOOO, you ppl are wondering why the hell is this guy writing all this? Hmm.. Valentine's day is coming up, and I just wanted to start a "pre- valentines environment!" by talking about something related to L.O.V.E! annd.. just to tell you whatever's happening in my life!
love y'all :)
peace!!!

I once got to know this girl, through a friend (who's a girl too). Anyways, we were having a cup of coffee at Starbucks. So she's like you know Ali, we should meet up in the future. I was like OK sure. We exchanged numbers and all that, and so I gave her a call the next day to say hi and what not. She didn't respond. I didn't care. I just forgot about it, until the weekend came, and the other girl, the one i knew before called and was like hey Ali let's meet up again. I was like sure who's coming with you? She's like so n so.
We met up, at the same location, started talking, and that same girl told me. Oh Ali I couldn't answer your call last week because I had some issues with my boyfriend. I thought it was OK to ask what happened, but she gave it to me straight in the face. "none of your business". Jeeez! Whats up with this attitude! I called her back after we left, still didnt respond. I called her one more time the next day. She answered and we started talking. Then all of a sudden, just outta the blue she told me "Listen, I don't know what do you want from me? If you want to meet up then call my other friend and we'll meet up, but just calling me is not right!". I just told myself : WHAT THE F**K is wrong with you. Anyways I didn't wanna bother myself with bullshit, so I just didn't call her since then.
Thats one example.
Another example that recently happened to me is that here in Oman, MOST (not all, but MOST) of the girls that I know shayfeen nafes-hum and met3aqdeen. They think that I need them for something. They think I want them for something. Maybe they had bad past experiences, but don't generalize things. If I wanted a girl for something I'd go straight up to her and ask her directly! But just assuming that I want something, and making 7arakat and I dunno what is just bullshit!
Oh and let's not forget, the loooove conversations on msn!!!!! How complicated can it be. It's true! I'm not making this up! :D (check out this typical example)
GUY: Hala
GIRL: hala
GUY: How are you?
GIRL: Ok, and u? Where have you been the past few days?
GUY: Oh I've been busy, but I MISS U LOTS
GIRL: Me 2. I (presses enter) Mi (minimizes the screen to check if anyone is around the house, comes back) Miss (presses enter) U (presses enter) and closes the msn window, and goes out the house to check if her parents came back.
GUY(talking to himself): It took her 8 weeks to say I miss you. Wow. Scratches his head. How much longer will it take her to say I love you? Yel3an abu el sa3a eli jeet!
OR... pick me up situation. (on the phone) =)
GUY: Hey sweetie what time shall we meet up?
GIRL: In 1 hour. Pick me up from the back door.
GUY: Ok
1 hour later, he's behind the house waiting for her. The guy calls up the girl.
GUY: Where are you?
GIRL: Oh I can't go out today because.. because.. oh because I have something due tomorrow and I didn't know about it not until now. I just checked my agenda a few mins back. And plus no one's in the house. ---- *to herself* ma fathya...
GUY: Ok
GUY *talking to himself*: Yel3an abu elsa3a eli jeet!
OR... not the right time situation.. the girl calls up the guy, and she KNOWS that he's busy doing something. Let's say, invited for lunch over at a friends place :)
GIRL: Hey sweetie are you free now?
GUY: Not really, why is there something wrong?
GIRL: Oh you know, I'm really sorry about last time. You came and I couldn't make it, so I was wondering if you can come now.
GUY: But I'm invited for lunch over at my friends place!
GIRL: But this is the ONLY time that I can leave because I told my parents that I'll be shopping, and they agreed. Otherwise, I won't be able to see you for another 2 weeks. You know, my car's in the garage, and my family from dubai are coming.
GUY: Ok i'll call you back in a few
GUY*to himself*: Yel3an abu el sa3a ili jeeet!
I'm just laughing right now! because whatever I said is true! At the end of the day, I just got used to how complicated the girls here are. But at the end of the day, you can't live with them, and you can't live without them! Also, it's because of the local traditions and the local customs here. You can't do stuff as if you are in the states or latin america. And you can't limit your fun as if you're in an extremist nation. Just enjoy life, and have fun :) . To the girls, I'm more than happy to hear a similar story from a female point of view! I just looove drama, and trouble!!! Once again, I'm not saying that khaleeji girls are bad and I don't mean to hurt anyone. No. KHaleeji girls are educated, respectful, smart, and most of all, better looking than western and other arab girls. SOOO, you ppl are wondering why the hell is this guy writing all this? Hmm.. Valentine's day is coming up, and I just wanted to start a "pre- valentines environment!" by talking about something related to L.O.V.E! annd.. just to tell you whatever's happening in my life!
love y'all :)
peace!!!

Breaking up my mind
I've been working for the past 5 months or so, plus an intensive training of 3 months. That gives a total of 8 months. I started in the heart of the summer, which basically demotivates you from working because of the 'deep heat'. Anyways, it's time for me to start thinking about holidays! Yep I'm trying to ask for a 1 week break. The thing is with Omani companies, is that you always have to plan what other people are going to think about you, just like when a guy calls a girl for the first time (yea I did some planning too). You know what I mean!! Anyways, so its Feb 06, 2006. My mind is starting to lean towards holiday mode, or at least, GOTR mode (its not God of The Rings, but its Get Out of The Region mode). So yea.. I need a holiday whatsoever! And I need to get out of the Gulf Region as soon as possible, more importantly, as FAR as possible.
I didn't enjoy my 4 yrs in college because I was under 21 back then. Soooo, what I'm planning to do is to do whatever I didn't do in those 4 years (whatever that means :P). Well I still didn't plan where my target is.
Good news: Just got the US visa. This time as a tourist :( .. OH well!!!
For all of you who are under 21.. TUFFF! :D
peeace!

Mysterious Miss
Have you ever recieved text messages from people you don't know? Have you ever wondered why the hell is that person sending me an sms? Did it come through your head that there's something behind it? Do you want to continue reading/listening to the rest of the story? If you answered yes to any of the questions, then this applies to you.
I have received several calls from people I don't know. I usually do not answer phone calls from weird numbers. Three weeks ago, I got a call from a strange number at around 11pm. And again a week later, from the same number at 3pm on a friday. I thought about it for a second. Why would they be calling me? Could it be that they're mistaken? Could it be that...umm.. nevermind! Yea that made me curious. So, I called that same number this past Thursday. I told the other party that they called me twice. They denied it. Seems like everyone is curious who's the "other party"? Yea it's a female. So I was like ok it might have been a mistake. So we hung up. An hour later (around 3:30pm), I received a text from her saying that she was sorry. I replied back telling her that it's ok don't worry about it.
Next was the ICE BREAKER Q . "Who are you? You sound so familar?". I just gave her my first name. She's like oh I know alot of Ali's, so what's your family name. Now that made me quite puzzled as why does she want my info. I thought about it for some time, and found out that basically, one of my friends, who's a girl (i hope she stays like that), is trying to test my level of "playness". I don't know why is she doing it at the first place, but she was public enemy number 1. Suspect number 1. So I asked this cryptic girl, do you study at Majan college?
"I am working now, but why from all the colleges, did u chose majan?"
"Just a random choice, so you did study there!", I said.
"What do you want from me? I am engaged", she replied back.
What the fuck was that all about?? First she calls me twice, then she's curious of who I am. I "obeyed" her rules lool, and answered her q's, and now she's asking me what do I want from her?? I seriously don't get it what's up with this attitude? And to fire up the situation she added that she's engaged. Oh so that means "please dont try to make a move", or "Don't you ever think about it". I couldn't care less, it was just fucked up. So I asked her "Do you know G******"?
"Why are you asking me about her? Do you want something from her"?
I's like nothing. Thank you for your cooperation.
A summary of what's going on: This friend of mine, is trying to test me (i dont know why), if I talk to other girls or not! Pshh.. like I would tell her "oh no you're the only one I talk to, I'm so innocent" bla bla bla and all that crap. So out of no where, she asks her friend to call me and see if I would call her friend and make moves. NOW, her friend (the cryptic one) forgot about the situation, and she's just messing around or doing something else.
First I am not trying to make moves with any of the two! Second, I hate it when people do stuff behind my back or just suspect something about me, when they really know who I am and what I'm like. That was a reaaally bad move.
Third, if miss cryptic is trying to play hard to get, then SCRAM!!!
So yesterday night cryptic girl sends me this "love" text sms!!!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW HOW SWEEET!!!!!
I still don't get the whole story! :P
I hope some of you do!
Peace!

What did you do for New Year's?
Anyone did something interesting for New Years?
I wanted to go to any of the hotels, but they're all full, with the exception of the InterContinental. I heard from a couple of friends who have been to previous new years eve parties at the inter that it sucks really bad because it's full of old people. So that discouraged me!
I ended up eating shawarma at some gas station, met up with some high school friends until 12 midnite. YAY!
I just saw a sedan full of girls in it (who were celebrating), and were chased by no less than 15 cars full of guys! What an interesting chase. Roads were blocked by the cops! WOW !!
hehe sounds kinda bleak n lame.. but it was fun.
so what did you guys do? :D

MCT-DXB Rally
This past Thursday, the 29th of December was one hell of a nightmare. I woke up from a fresh n natural alarm, (moms' screaming). Right after lunch, I find myself trapped in between 2 different speakers. Sounded more like a Dolby Surround System. Mom's screaming at the maid for some trivial thing that happened, and dad's screaming at something that's happened recently. I got used to the screaming and shouting at our place. There wasn't much that I can do at that moment. All of a sudden, I just felt like leaving the house..hmm..the neighborhood.. the city.. the WHOLE COUNTRY.. that day was really bad..I had to do something to make them understand that there are human beings living. It was 2pm, if I can make it before the sun sets, it'll be great. So I called up one of my cousins, Mr.T (or T). Without any hesitation, I received a YES IM DOWN FOR IT!
3:30, we hit the road to dubai! I didn't tell my folks that I was going there. I had packed my "sports" stuff, so that they would think that I'm going to the gym and would be returning within a few hours.. Anywhoos, half way thru, he's like "hey ali, I think we should go to al3ain, and return at night around 2 or 3 because I didn't tell my parents" etc etc etc.. I's like ok sure.. So we reached the amazing Sohar Roundabout, and from there we had a last chance to decide if we should continue straight to dubai, or divert to al3ain. I was flexible with anything, as long as we leave the country. He insisted on going to al3ain. So I diverted to al3ain. The road from sohar to buraimi is pretty shitty. 1 lane, no lights, in between 2 wadis. Soooo, let's say you lose control, you immediately lose your life. Oh and let's not forget, most of the drivers are jolly 17-18 yr olds, so you'll be getting some wonderful stunts while driving. :)
7pm...arrived at al3ain..cruised around at the famous mall, al3ain mall. The city is much smaller than muscat, but the traffic is as busy as muscat, which is not bad. The mall was OK, bigger than the ones we got here, and has most of the international famous retail store outlets and brands. I craved for some Burger King and off I went to order my fave Double Whopper Meal! Damnnnn I miss BK!!! :D
8pm.. Mr. T's like "Hey ali, al3ain is boring dude, let's head to dubai and come back tmr"! I got soo fukkin' excited!! We hit the road then.. took us around 1 hour to reach there (not bad)..
I still didnt tell my folks about anything. My mom called and was wondering where I was because apparently I was the designated driver without payment at that day, so I told her everything. She didn't say anything. My adrenaline is starting to pump up real fast. More like an adrenaline overdose. !!
9:15pm, reached T's apartment.. took a shower n what not, n off we went to do some club hopping..we used cabs as the means of transportation because you know dubai's traffic.. and on a thursday night.. just can't handle it!
Clubs that we went to :
--Boudoir (owned by Al Zawawi) --> really nice medieval style environment, with dance music. Couples only but the bouncer pencilled us in. ;)
--Mina Alsalam club --> Kinda like a house party because everything is legal there.
--Amnesia (next to the hardrock) --> Different music (arabic, dance, hip hop), very high standard. around 10 rial entrance fee. However, it's full of prostitutes. ugh!
All 3 clubs were amazing. I really recommend you go there at least once.
Soo yea we didnt get hooked up well, but we had fun. We reached the apt at 4 am n hit the bed.
Dec.30
Woke up at 11, went cruising for a bit, ate lunch and came back to Oman
arrived at muscat--> 7:30 pm.
What a ta9neeefa!!!!
All in all, it's a memorable trip! Parallels with the Dakar Rally because you don't really know where you're going! I should've stayed an extra day to celebrate New Year's but I was slightly dumb to come back. Oh well! Next year inshallah!!
I brought my cam with me but I was too occupied n busy to take pics.. Sorrryyy :D However I have one "souvenir" to share with y'all:
Wadi Al jizi Vehicle Exit Fee Reciept!
