The Island of Theme Parks


A slides extravaganza! Yas Waterworld, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Justin’s back from Singapore, for his mid-year school break!

This year, he’s gonna spend most of his 1-month break here in Dubai, revising, and catching up on his studies. It’s a crucial, make or break year! Fingers-crossed. But he doesn’t seem a bit worried. When is this seriousness going to get drummed into his big, fat head? Sigh!

Here’s a super, quick picture post of a treat we gave Justin during his last year’s mid-year break. A trip to Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island, where there’re 4 big theme parks! Here goes.


Yas Waterworld, here we come!


A map of the park. The world’s leading water park, izzit?


The Dolphin Gate?


Whoa! What’s that? A big fat trumpet? It’s a whirlpool ride! The Dawwama!




Water slides galore. Enjoy!


A slide for the Slytherins. Pick your serpent, each is different!


A relaxing ride on a river… (but scorching hot. It’s summer after all!)


Some water-splashing fun!


An artificial beach. Yup, it’s only the 2 of us. It’s a treat for Justin for getting that scholarship in Singapore. We went on a week day to beat the crowds. Jayden’s at school, and theme parks aren’t really mommy’s cup of tea


The view from above. Ferrari World’s (the red roofed structure) crazy roller coasters are just next door. We’ll do that next!

That’s all for now. Gotta get back to work. Got some urgent tendering stuff to finish. We love you son. We know it’s hard work, studying, but it’ll pay off. You’ll see.
