MyDailyRoti is in Dubai!

As of now I am concealed in a safehouse in Dubai with the room number of "911". =) It was an exhausting 6 1/2 hours flight from KL to Dubai, made worse by technical problems with the plane engine causing an extra 2 hour delay which made us spent a total of 8 hours in an Emirates Airlines Boeing 777, my maiden flight on the newer Boeing. A few noisy kids and an arsehole passenger behind me made the trip even more unforgettable by constantly complaining and threatening the flight crew for not providing Middle Eastern food, instead serving croissants.

    Anyway, I was recommended by one of the customers at my workplace, who travels a lot that Emirates Airlines had one of the best on flight entertainment systems, simply dubbed "ice". Of course, remembering the words of the wise man, I had to give it a try and it sure did impress me. So many of the latest movies that I missed last year, I made it up by catching up on flight, making use of the time. I watched a total of three movies: Toy Story 3 (finally), Grown Ups, Dinner for Schmucks and Inception. Of which the latter two I only watched half because I fell asleep in the middle of both movies. Anyhow I will try to review all the movies next time.

    ....and finally, touch down at Dubai International Airport, which is not as good as our very own KLIA at 3pm Dubai time =) Met up with sister at airport, went for dinner at Dubai Mall and then went n to visit the world's tallest building, the amazing Burj Khalifa. Being a car nut, Dubai is heaven for me, I can honestly say that 50% of all Mercs here are genuine AMG meat machines and Rolls Royces are a common sight. Great!
    Finally, back to room 911, took a bath and blogging as of right now. Anyway, will go back to the airport soon to catch a flight at 2am Dubai time to JFK Airport, NY. Cheers! Bon Voyage!
