Nail color


Weekend manicure.

I have IELTS exam proctoring this morning at UAE University.  There are about 200 male and female candidates and about 14 proctors all together.  Every thing went well, only some small mistake like one candidate fill in the wrong side of the answer sheet.  A bit tired at the end.  There will be exam again in next two weeks.

Al Jahili Fort again


Al Jahili Fort.

The weather is nice and cool still.  The group decided to stick to out door painting until the weather is warmer.   We did Fort sketch again because last time some
of us didn't finish the work.  My sketching is a bit better. What I like about
working  out door is that we get together afterward for cup of coffee
and bit of chat for a change.

New restaurant in town


Hubby and I tried a new restaurant in the Al Ain Mall for lunch.  The restaurant called
"Shakespeare restaurant @ Cafe".  Their decoration is beautiful vintage style, it's
beautiful, of course.  There is flower shop attached to it too.  The service
was very nice and friendly.  Hubby order turkey cheese sandwich - he
thought it was a safe order, but he could hardly eat.  It has no taste,
very thin slice of turkey ham.  He gave up half way through and 
share my safest food order in this country which is "pasta".
Very disappointed.

Al Jahili Fort




Al Jahili Fort in the unique oasis city Al Ain.  One of the great landmarks
and symbols of the UAE.

We enjoyed painting in the peaceful place.  I did some lazy sketching
today.  We went to Starbucks, Al Ain Mall  afterwards. 
Had value chat with friends. A chicken cheese
 quiche and hot chocolate are Emm... yum

Al Ain Zoo




Al Ain Zoo is the largest zoo in the UAE and an attractive place to visit.  We
went there from time to time sketching.  This time I did better with
3 sketches, not great but better. 

Flowers in the Paradise Park


This trip was a bit complicated.  The park changed the opening time to late afternoon
without notice.  We're there in the morning and have to get permission from
the manager.  We finally got a special permission to enter.  Good grief!
 what a beautiful park that is full of all kind of flowers.
It's must be very expensive garden.
Worth waiting for jing jing
