Another Busy Valentine's

Couple photo, on a dhow cruise in Dubai Marina, compliments of our niece Karishma, and the company she works for, Tour Dubai. Couple photos are rare nowadays, especially after the kids came out. This one actually has a little bit of Jayden (I cropped him out hehe!)

Looks like it’s gonna be a busy Valentine’s again. Busy not on candlelight dinners and romance, but on work, chores and kids! Hell, it ain’t even on a weekend here this year! Besides, how do people celebrate Valentine’s when one kid is constantly bugging you with questions about everything under the sun, and the other is screaming his head off for attention?

Maybe, if we put them to sleep early? Good idea! …But it’s easier said than done.

Anyway, here’re some rare photos of when we (the adults) managed to squeeze some time off the kids, to bring back memories of more romantic times. Justin is 6, Jayden is like 15 months old. …Hmmm, maybe we can have a nice romantic getaway in another 9 to 10 years’ time. 2026, not too long to go, shite!


Dinner at the Jebel Ali Palm Tree Court – another gift from Karishma and Tour Dubai. (Karishma won a Dinner for 2 gift voucher and gave it to us). But why do they keep this place so friggin dark?!

Cruising Dubai Marina in a dhow, thanks to Karishma and Tour Dubai. That twisted building on the left is the Cayan Tower. The building where the red string is attached to, is the Princess Tower

On a more serious note, I have a friggin black spot under my big toenail that appeared mysteriously some 2 weeks back. No injury, no rashes, no swelling, no peeling skin, no smell (OK, there IS smell. Whose feet are completely without smell anyway? But the smell is the normal everyday shoe stink, not something extraordinary, like Athlete’s Foot or something like that). Try googling ‘black spot under big toenail’ and you’ll know how scary that is. Went to a dermatologist, and she prescribed some meds for fungal infection, and added that if that doesn’t work in a week or two weeks’ time, go see a surgeon to get a biopsy done. Scary, ain’t it? Now waiting for the surgeon to call back on when insurance approval is obtained, and then I can go for the biopsy. Wish me luck!
