Return to Say Bye2

Boarded a almost empty MAS airline from KLIA to Dubai... the stewardess told me that was only 30 passengers on boards. The same TV-less plane I boarded with MAS DUbai-KL & vice versa. I make an official complain this time as their airfare isnt cheaper either but provide no personal entertainment... MAS!!!
Beside the *no personal entertainment system* we also gotta stopover in karachi, pakistan... not a safe place to land not even for an hour stopover! Most of my ex-colleague request to be transfer back to Msia... KARACHI is almost a WARZONE now...

Rented a car in the airport... booked online at a much more cheaper rates. got myself a Toyota Yaris (Vios) manual. MANUAL... that was a challenge for me... 2nd time drive a left hand side manual... the 1st time was about a 15min drive... my UAE driving license is for auto-car but the rental company didnt notice so i took it anyway... no wonder its so cheap because manual car got low demand... nevertheless renting a car is much more cheaper than taking a cab in dubai...

The same *OLD* building in dubai... nothing special for me... has been here for 3years... so it was kinda bring my parents over to see2 look2 & settle some of unfinish business... As usual my paretns were impressed by the 7lanes road of dubai... & lot of people must have left dubai as the roads were mostly empty even at peak hours... queue at the immigration also empty... now Dubai looks a Msian version of putrajaya... UNDER UTILIZED!!! took my papa & mama to the outskirt... to let them see what dubai looks like 15years ago... Wow... boy the weather was HOT! 46c MAX.... I always wonder why Dubai's SUN seems bigger than Msia's SUN? Air-con bus stop... the ultimate shelther during this 4months of HEAT waves... if there is one in msia... the same day the Air-con would have been stolen. The world tallest structure is still under construction.... wonder if they gonna complete this THINGS when the economy is so down... Abu Dhabi make a PANCAKE building.... this PANCAKE is huge... maybe they got the idea from KLCC Jagugn look alike strucure... maybe MSia shall start a Durian lookalike Mall? Although, Burj al arab (the self proclaim 7stars hotel) is the most famous structure in UAE but most visitor would agreed that Abu Dhabi Emirates Palaces ( also a hotel) are much more beautiful. Sammy is still there even after all the campgain to free her... Sammy is a whale shark caught near UAE water for the sake of *Education*! Pix from top of UAE... the tallest mountain Habeel Jaffet... I dunno why but I like this pix very muchi... maybe of the vastnest of land? this hotspring is not popular during the summer but during winter... it was the HOTSPOTS! This is DATES in its ori form... very oily... same family with our oil palm.. Burj al arab as always... Everyone who never been to dubai will ask about it... Beautiful... yes it is...

empty airport... empty road... Dubai at it worst... gh0st t0wn?
