Dubai Day 1: Sakai is the word.

2:09:00 am

Assalamualaikum lovelies! Lama is it I've written something? Hehe, sorry I've been busy but yeah other than that I just got back from my family holiday Alhamdulillah and this year we went to Dubai for our trip! I'll be blogging about it of course so if sudi, sit back relax and just read on!

The flight from Brunei to Dubai took 8 hours and 15 minutes. It was my first time ever to be on such a
long flight so overall I was sakai. Hehe..We also get to try the Dreamliner on this trip and again, I was sakai with the entertainment they provide in it. Lalah eh long flight ani. Hahah, I cannot imagine the ones who goes through it frequently and the longer flights. Ayung lah ah. Hahah.
 
We arrived at our hotel in Deira around 3am Dubai time and the moment I stepped out of the car I got sakai again; the wind was so cold! Like air-conditioned cold! I couldn't believe it. Mind you I've never traveled outside of Asia and I've never experience winters in Hong Kong or China so seriously, I was really shocked and sakai. Hahah. As for our hotel, our room was an apartment and it was a 3 room apartment with living room, kitchen and balcony. Quite pleasant. Again I got sakai because the AC wasn't on but it's cold! After going through the place, we finally settled and went to sleep at 4am.

The day later, our first stop was Naif. Simply put it's like Masjid India times 3? It has fabrics, gold, technologies, abayas and etc. Alot of stuff to see and the plus thing about going there during winter time? It's cool so it wasn't really a bad ordeal for my brothers (who usually whines when we're at Masjid India for too long). It's clean too! The markets there are called souks and it was so fun going in and out of nooks and crannies of the place. Bought abayas for myself and some shawls. Fabrics too but honestly if I'd want to buy fabrics like the chiffon, I'd rather buy the ones from Ho Chi Minh or China. One thing it cost about the same and there's alot more fabric there compared to Naif- or perhaps I've only went to a very small part of Naif. Hmm. Hahah. We had our lunch there as well and I've got to say food portions are really big. For me. Hahah I was pretty sure I couldn't finish it so I just opted on ordering arabic salad. Atu pun inda abis. Luan banyak. Hahah.

That day's OOTD.

Our lunch at Naif was at this restaurant called something Afghani. Dad's Charcoal Chicken was the bomb!


Do you see that rice portion? Confirmed I cannot finish that on my own.

A part of Naif.
After Naif we went back to our hotel and continued on to the mall nearby called Deira City Mall. My brother has small expectations for this mall but heck when I went in it definitely served me well! I mean, quite large. The size is like, 1Borneo I should say but alot more stores I am in love with! So I shopped there for abit and ate sandwiches. It was pleasant. Hehe.

Just a section of the place from where we ate sandwiches.

Yummy artisan sandwiches. Hahah, ate alot of these the whole time I was in Dubai.
I couldn't really remember what I did after Deira Mall but I think we just went home and relaxed. Harris bought a hoverboard so that mainly distracted my evening. Hahah, hoverboards are so fun! I would like to buy one should the chance come again. Banartah! It's crazy fun! Damn! Hahah..

Well that was day 1. Day 2 up next!
