Its all about the money..........

Why I keep saying that Dubai is all about money? Check this out.

You know that there are always some rich fellows that bid for a particular number for their car plates and that in Spore, the amount can reach tens of thousands? Well, Dubai beat Spore hands down in this extravagant display of wealth. The guy in the middle bought the number "7" for a cool Dh11m. That's S$4.5m dollars!!! WTF right??!! And this is not the extreme. The same fellow had earlier set a world record, paying Dh25.3m (S$10.5m dollars!!) for the number "5"!! Haha. Can you imagine? The car plate number is actually more expensive than the ferraris and lamborginis that he will probably own!! Haha. I can picture him saying to his friends while pointing to his latest ferrari, "don't look at the car, check out the number 7!" . Haha. I just don't get it. Well, at least one good thing that came out of this crazy auction is that the money raised will be used to help accidents victims although we can't really know for sure. But at least that's what the article says.

Oh ya, the kid on the left is the son of another rich Arab. He is only 10yrs old but is already spending millions of dollars to bid for NUMBERS for his dad!! Haha. Case closed.

Mall of Emirates

Hey pple,

been really lazy to write about my trip to Emirates Mall aka The Biggest Mall in Dubai. So I will let the pics do the talking. Oh btw, this is the mall with the snow city in it! But think it costs quite alot to go in and the hourly charge is crazy. Well, this is Dubai. The city of money. Haha.



Nice huh? Imagine having this in your living room!

Check out the size of this TV!!! (I put myself in the pic as a gauge!! Haha). Seriously, why do you need such a big TV for? Well, if you have too much cash to spare, this is one TV you can get for Christmas!! Haha. Imagine playing PS3 on this TV!! Haha.

The Cineplex

These are some photos of the snow city - taken from OUTSIDE!! haha.


And my dinner for the night.

For more pics of the mall, pls check out the album on Facebook!! Haha. Good night pple.

My lebanese takeway.

Check out the lebanese dinner which I just bought! Shiok man. And its cheaper than chinese food!! Haha.


This is a lebanese cocktail. Its a mixture of quite a few fruits including, apple, orange, kiwi, etc. I bought it becoz its look kinda cool!! Haha. The damage is about S$4.


For my main course, I ordered this boneless chicken (half). As you can see, the chicken comes with a few other stuffs. Bread is almost a compulsory item in lebanese food. So you can wrap the chicken in the bread toge with other ingredients like, vege, olive, cucumbers, etc. And you dip it in the garlic. Its actually pretty good but i hated the waiting time for it. As the lebanese believed in cooking on the spot, so everytime you ordered anything, you will have to wait about 15mins. Its a good practice but its just plain frustrating for a hungry man!! Haha. Anyway the damage is about S$10.
