My Almost-Adventure to La-La-Land

SO here I am ... again .. trying to come up with something interesting to write, but still at a loss of words. I hate over thinking to the max but constantly end up in this same situation. Lol @ my life. But anyway, overthinking is my jammm, and in those spirits, I'll start the blog about how we NEARLY had an adventure of a lifetime, in the land of DOOOOBAI.. so here is my utterly sad and sob-worthy story...

I have been in UAE for like one year now and believe it or not, we never really got to visit "Ski Dubai". The place that I had been dreaming of since a very excruciatingly long time. My romance with this place dates back to the old days when we used to receive those forwarded mails in our client emails regarding some amazing stuff around the world. This particular mail about "Ski Dubai" remained all over my senses for a good one month. And again, it took over my senses when I was boarding the flight to Dubai last year.

As hubsy have only 1 day off in the week, so life here was pretty hectic initially. And fulfilling my wishes were nearly impossible as all the work descends on that particular day off. And, well, we finally planned our date to "SKI DUBAI" . I packed all the important stuff for Yusha  (My gorgeous little boy mashaAllah) irrespective of knowing whether he was allowed in there or not. Let me mention here that I'm kind of "GOOGLE-GIRL" as I use literally google everything on my phone in a jiffy. Be it a sale on any brand or food recipe or anything. But this time, lord jesus... My excitement was on peak and didn't even think for once to just check about the guidelines and the do's and don'ts.



Well we rushed to The Mall of Emirates and quickly reached to the doors of ICE LAND (I love calling it that), waited in queue for our turn while my heart was filled with so much emotions and joy. As soon as our turn came and the counter guy saw Yusha and the last thing I heard was a blast. Oh yess you guys read it right.. An imaginary sound of a blast that was confined to my head. Yusha wasn't allowed in there as he was under 2 years old.


After a lot of sad emotions and arguments, we accepted defeat whilst making fun of ourselves. Then, we treated ourselves with KFC's new CHIZZA, and I think it is necessary to mention that this day was an utter disappointment for us from the beginning to the end. The hype KFC created was all a lie. It wasn't even close to what I had expected. It was just a sad sad deep fried chicken with a little cheese on top, and not even remotely relating to a CHICKEN PIZZA. Major fail, y'all..

               

One of the countless lessons I learnt that day, was to never get over-the-top kinda excited about things without actually doing multiple cross checks about it, and never to try something new on an already bad day, because dude, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CHIZZA.

Very soon,  I shall pen down something even more happening than my tales of numerous Dubai-Fails and Food-ing experiences. You guys are always welcome to comment experiences me ways to control my hyper ninja mode. Till then, Shab bakhair!

Love, 


Anum
