Salaam and Hello again all! Thursday is the start of the weekend here and I started it off with an egg and khoubz breakfast followed by a much needed workout (courtesty of bodyrock.tv) and long, wonderful shower. I felt sorry for the two young boys because they couldn't come with the gym with me; only the sister (aaw, I hate seeing kids cry!). After, I made the tabouleh while Enaam made her yummy rice..mm....

After dinner we left to one of the smaller malls, the MCC which was actually quite large! Everything about the place was beautiful and grandiose. I tried on a few abayat that I fell in love with. I haven't bought them yet but I'm definitely going back for one of them.

We drove around Jumeirah andI soaked in the eye candy (abayat and cars lol) snapped a few pictures of both ;) We stopped for some meat shawarma which, again became the best I've ever had lol. Guuh I know I'm going to end up gaining weight this trip :( lol better up my workouts.
Today (Friday) I woke earlier than expected to a yummy breakfast of homemade zataar. We went to a small masjid that was beautiful smalah on the outside, but the inside lacked for the women. They got a teeny tiny room with no screen to see the lecture, just a blah white wall :(. Made me long for the Islamic House of Wisdome where women and men pray together with no partition, curtain, or wall. Aaaannyway, I finally got to wear my DAS abaya, yay! I'm in love with it wallah the style is not my favorite and I can see wearing it all the time for sure, it's so elegant and graceful; not to mention definitely kept me cool in the hot morning sun. The wind whipped discretely into it's folds and kept me cool.
After we came home to a lunch of okra, ruz, salata, and addas...mmm.... It felt like a lazy Sunday back home bc we relaxed most of the day until the evening when we went to vist Enaam's sister, Sausen at her villa. And boooooy masha'allah was it beautiful! We drove through the ridiculously packed streets of Sharjah to reach her. I've never seen cars going at these speeds get so close to each other without touching, wallah it's amazing the way these arabs drive. Lol I was told Sharjah is more cultural and that's why it has more mosques. Also, it was swimming with Pakistani and Indian immigrants, they were eeeeeverywhere, I could have been in one of their countries! I also saw my first bedouin, pretty cool :D. I took some pics of Sausen's beautiful villa, woow how beautiful masha'allah. We snacked on shai and sweets, not a bad evening in the lovely UAE :)
