today we decided to leave the apartment earlier, so mom can at least enjoy her last day here. we made our way to mercato mall, by far one of the nicest mall in dubai for me. the mall is not too big, the design is so colorful and vibrant, the crowd is bearable, and the shops that they have is sufficient for the shoppers.
mom was talking about how much she loves the design of the mall, and she was hoping and wishing that hubs and myself will have the opportunity to work in dubai or abu dhabi so she could visit us frequently... (secretly wishing and hoping in my heart too ma!... really i do...)
from where we entered, the first shop we passed by was the shoe shop! oh oh my kryptonite!! seriously, oh gosh, please get me out of this place!! we were looking at their collection, its extremely stylish. i saw the "in" slippers with swarovsky crystals and thought it would be extremely expensive but it was rather affordable... tried them on and it was the perfect fit! hehe, you know what to expect next, that particular pair made its way next to the cashier! then... i still couldn't stop browsing, damn it! i saw another pair that i thought i should just have! WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME??!! (then we left, instead of feeling guilty, i was happy!)
hubs was walking around and got himself a watch, haha we're doing the last minute shopping i guess. this time round i decided that it's better to spend on one particular item that i really like, even though its slightly pricey. i usually complaint after a trip that i usually buy a lot of these small items such as accessories which makes no sense at all, and it doesn't have any value at the end of the day. then i REGRET every second, minutes and hours, of not buying what i liked. (YES DRAMATIC)
sat down at the cafe, for an hour... mom was chatting with bella, sharing her experiences and stories about life and work, which bella took interest in. hubs and myself just sat and listened. if you're wondering, how come in every blog that i have posted all we do is just sit and have coffee, its apart of their lifestyle in dubai, it is extremely normal for them to sit down, and sip on their drinks for an hour or so with friends, and family... if you can't beat them, join them...
we left the beautiful mall, made our way to check out "the palm on the jumeirah beach" we only managed to drive onto the trunk of the palm, the highway is complete, the apartments on the trunk is halfway done... so we made a u-turn... and made our way to the marina.
just thought i should share some pictures we took along the way to marina and marina itself... haaa... i just love this place...
