Recycling

Today, I decided to stop my recycling initiative at home. After making trips at night by foot to the recycling bins three times a week it has been good. I felt good. But it has become an eyesore at the kitchen at times when I have to wait until evening to take the recyclable goodies with me during my evening walks.

I have emailed DULSCO to see whether they can place recycling bins just down our building to encourage more residents to participate in the waste recycling program of Dubai Municipality. I will post updates later.

Thursday cupcake

Thanks Ms. Je for a very nicely crafted cupcake. This is going to be my breakfast, yummy!

Everyone's happy it's Thursday :)

Little surprise

I found this at my work mailbox today. How good it is to come to work everyday and find little surprises like this.

I feel lucky and blessed to be surrounded with nice colleagues. Wait a sec, 115 calories, oh well, not bad eh?

Cyprus visa

I am very excited and happy today, well, they say I am always excited about every little thing. My friends and I applied for Cyprus visa and we just have received our passports back with the visa stamp from Cyprus Embassy in Abu Dhabi!

Special thanks to Kuya He who took the effort to collect our passports from the embassy. Trust me the embassy's location was very hard to find.

The next step now is to finalize the itinerary of our 6 nights' trip. Very excited to visit this Mediterranean island soon and see the Rock of Aphrodite, Lara Beach in Akamas to see turtles, Mt. Troodos, Mt. Olympus, Nicosia and taste the Greek Cypriot's meze.

Also, (my younger sister will laugh at this) I would like to visit the Donkey Sanctuary in Vouni to see little donkeys.

Burger Fuel at Dubai Mall

And so I almost forgot to write about where did we go after the flea market. We went to Burger Fuel, sounds odd eh? It's Ate Sa's new fave burger place.

She's determined to have burger at Burger Fuel for lunch and excited to show us how it's different to other burgers like McDo, Burger King and other fast food places. We went to the branch in Dubai Mall. Very nice location. We had the view of the rice rink below.

A snap of pendant light utilizing spark plugs, very artistic.

The Menu

A bit more expensive though, but if you're eating healthy then it's worth it. The best thing, it was her treat! So I didn't have to part with my hard-earned dirham for a burger :) Yipee. Ooops, she might read this.

Flea Market at Safa Park

Every first Saturday of the month there is a flea market in Safa Park from 8am till 3pm organized by dubai-fleamarket.com.

And so we thought of going to see. I must admit that this was my second time to see the place. First time I went I was a volunteer selling goodies to raise funds for charity. My first time today to go as potential customer. Ready to brace the heat, wearing my sunglasses and carrying my purse with some money, I drove and left from my building at 10am with two of my girl-friends. Outside is 36°C temperature.

Park entrance is AED 3.

Ate Sa as seen here is busy inspecting a dress.

More photo from the market.

Me and Ate Fi with some stuff we got from the market. We enjoyed today's flea market especially I found pairs of dangling earrings at AED 2 each. I am going to wear those soon.

We're done at flea market now and must feed our tummies next.
