Me in DXB week 3

Hello! It's me again @ 1am DXB time. I've decided to write again since I have loads of pictures taken in SG and HK that i haven't uploaded. Once a week is the best I can update :(

Have been carrying this bag to death in SG and here in DXB, since my dress code here includes a black bag.

love Alexis bag from Yventually !
Like how roomy it is with its multiple compartments and pockets.
This looks quite like a Coach hobo bag I once had before, and made of the usual good matte PU leather Yventually uses, I'm pretty pleased with its workmanship :)

It's a medium sized tote which you can place A4 materials in if you place the flaps upright.
If you don't really have that many items you want to bring in this bag, just close the magnetic flap and turn it down like I did below;

A versatile bag :)

Love the "motorcycle" kinda look this hobo has;

stitched with magnetic buttons, you can get items off the pockets with ease.
Alexis comes in 4 different colors so my best bet besides black, will be the purple or persian orange color :)

went for a tour around Dubai just before our training started.
We had a great time before health screening. Health screening = helluva waiting.

Met Su who came last weekend so we gathered and brought her to Dubai Mall.

the mango glutinous rice is delicious, great tomyum seafood soup, the noodles and padthai are all mediocre :\

Gathered at V's apartment to celebrate Sarah's birthday :>

happy birthday girlie!!! :> You always have us ;)

Had a Singapore friend come visit me so I brought her to the French established bakery, Paul.
I must say Paul's croissants are really good.

a picture in Burjuman Mall, one of the atas area in Bur Dubai.
I compare it to Ion Mall, where one section of the mall has branded stores, the other part has mid-range stores like Zara and etc.

First beach party @ Barasti, a known club spot;

soft, cold sand on your feet.
I love the weather last week.

Some random pictures;
- S$10 jasmine milk bubble tea at a Taiwanese restaurant. Thank God for SG's $3.50 KOI 'cos S$10 for a cup of goodness is all I can get here.
- Did my own fried rice today, so proud of myself.
