hard stuff that requires a lot of brain power's done, it was time to commence the fun, de-stressing night! the night started with dinner with the guys, watched SamSantoEd and laughed at whatever happened in the previous day's football matches, then met my girlfriend for SATC2!!!^^ we've been planning to go for the past month (before the premiere I kid you not), but of course reality made us postpone this much awaited movie for 3 weeks (reality=exams).
I thoroughly enjoyed and loved the movie, although I'd like to point out some things *warning: this may or may not be a spoiler*
1. Abu Dhabi is NOT the future as far as I remember. Been there twice and aside from the beautiful mosque and Emirates Palace (that in order for you to get in, everyone must spend AED100 each!) there's practically nothing but desert and construction (although some of the things under construction was jaw dropping cool). Perhaps in the next 15-20 years, when Dubai has become overcrowded and too expensive, will Abu Dhabi get the title of 'the future'?
2. In the Souq, Carrie was totally ripped off by the shoe guy lol I couldnt stop laughing when she thought it was cheap!Souqs are basically markets, so in markets you BARGAIN. And frankly speaking, dressed like that, she's asking to be ripped off!
3. Who, and I will ask again, WHO, wears stilletos inside their own apartments/house?anyone?please let me know i'm curious!
4. Can someone please tell me if your bf/husband/fiance/partner would give you that super gorgeous sparkly black diamond, after what Carrie did????oh hollywood, you're really gonna mess some women's head for sure!
All in all, it was a really fun movie and it made me miss Dubai. really. very. much. So, I'm going to leave you with a few decent pics from my Dubai days :)

ReplyDeleteThey took down SATC2 already. My reality postponed me from watching too booo. And the bajakan is not out yet. (very surprising) So no SATC2 for me...
LOVE your photos of Dubai and Aby Dhabi...I'm so fascinated by these cities!
