Five Important Lessons I Learned from My Cat

Over the years I have had the pleasure of making frineds with a few cute felines :) They are great companions - and I have learned some very interesting things about life from them. I thought these 5 might be useful to share :)

1. There is nothing wrong with being a little arrogant

2. You can never take enough naps

3. There is no substitute for having a good sense of balance.

4. You can still be independent even when you are completely dependent.

Meydan SUCKS!! Sting rOcKs!!!

Meydan race course has been opened only just recently. It's definitely better than Nad Al Sheba horse race stadium... but as a venue for concert, IT SUCKS

! You have to walk all the way from the audience seat to the other side of the race track. And it's also the same scenario when you are entering the parking. An hour before the concert, bottle neck traffic willl already spoil your mood! PLUS the organizers didn't made it easier… Continue

More Rain Please :)

I have to say I love the rain in this city. As destructive as it can be at times, what with the flash floods and urban waterfalls, and more sadly the increased accidents and even human casualties... I think it must be because Dubai is so seasonally challenged - we have sunshine pretty much all year round! Who would have thought I, of all people, would miss the minus 30 and the snow days?

Let us be grateful to god!!

Begin your day by feeling grateful.

Be grateful for the bed you just slept in, the roof over your head, the carpet or floor under your feet, the running water, the soap, your shower, your toothbrush, your clothes, your shoes, the refrigerator that keeps your food cold, the car that you drive, your job, your friends.

Be grateful for the stores that make it so easy to buy the things you need, the restaurants, the utilities, services, and electrical appliances that

I got a small hike very soon. I approaced the guy.He told me
"It was an offer. You need a minimum of… Continue

Nickelback in DFC 2010

Nickelback concert is enjoyable but they used an acoustic guitar to play Rockstar which what I was looking forward to hear them play live.
The show is well equipped with slide slows that plays in the screen, lots of fireworks in the stage and memorabilia shirts shot to the crowd.
BUT....I've just realized that they're kinda nerd... Chad was asking the crowd to jump up and down with the devil horn sign waiving in the air... Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the music but DAMN the concert was ki… Continue

Leadership and the 'art of Potato Committees

Once upon a time in a distant land, there was a kitchen that made the best potato soup in the world. People traveled far and wide just to sip, to taste, to swallow what they called the ‘soup of the gods’. Tucked in a small room, almost hidden from the rest of the cooks were six men who peeled the potatoes. These were not just ordinary men, not just ordinary potato peelers, but the greatest and fastest peelers to have to have ever touched the hot skin of a potato. They moved so fast it was diffi… Continue
