The Story of Jayden, Year 7


Jayden, Love Lake, Dubai, Dec 2020

Finally, I finished looking thru all the photos of the little one between his 6th and 7th birthday (after 3 months!), and here they are, a summary of his Year 7 adventures, stuck completely in the UAE, thanks to friggin COVID. (I’m getting sick of this word…). Enjoy!


Here’s he at home, explaining what his monsters can do. Hey, did it kill King Kong? Nov 2020


Al Jazirah Al Hamra Old Village Fort – Behind this fort is the abandoned ghost village of Al Jazirah Al Hamra, spooky eh? Ras Al Khaimah, Dec 2020


With his Koko at the zoo (he loves aquariums and zoos, by the way), Dubai Safari Park, Jan 2021


Another fort! The little visited Falaj Al Mualla Fort, Umm Al Quwain, Jan 2021 – We were the only ones there that afternoon. The watchman had to unlock the museum just for us. A whole fort to ourselves!


Hey Harry Potter, where’s Ron and Hermione? Fooling around at home as one of his favourite characters of that time – I think this was British Book Character Day, or something like that. Their school has all sorts of ideas to make parents use up their money – Feb 2021


Gong Xi, Namaste, I’m confused… Malay clothing, Indian greeting, Chinese decorations, …ahh, what the heck, we’re Malaysians! Malaysia, truly Asia! – Mar 2021


Last trek of the season, Wadi Ghub, Fujairah, Mar 2021 – The weather turns up the heat from April onwards… Waiting eagerly for the end of Oct again to go outdoors


Another of his all-time favourite character, Spiderman – Apr 2021


Oh, it’s stifling hot! May and June 2021 were the skating months where the kids went every other weekend to rack up their skating skills (coz that, and swimming, were about the only things we could do that’s free …nah, we aren’t stingy, …just thrifty, ahem) – Nshama Town Square Skate Park, May 2021


Museum trips are still OK during the summer months. Hey, where’re your legs??!? Sharjah Science Museum, Jul 2021


Jayden with friend Viva and the Fox of Fabyland at Dubai Festival City, after a playdate with his Koko, Arya, Mashel, Viva and their moms at Bounce Trampoline Park, Jul 2021


Pulling faces with Koko, at Ce La Vi Restaurant, atop the Address Sky View Tower, Downtown Dubai celebrating Mommy’s birthday, Aug 2021


Abu Dhabi reopens! Abu Dhabi finally relaxed its internal border controls regarding COVID-19. Before that, all entering the emirate of Abu Dhabi from other emirates had to show COVID-19 PCR test results not older than a certain amount of days (it changes from time to time) – Hey, look at my piece of salt! At the Al Wathba Long Salt Lake, Abu Dhabi, Sep 2021


Expo2020 Dubai finally opens! I AM THE MUMMY!! At the Egypt Pavilion, Oct 2021


Happy Birthday! Jayden at the South Korea Pavilion on his 7th birthday, Expo2020 Dubai, Oct 2021
