Winter Season in Abu Dhabi

This cold weather will pass soon. By end Feb, when I return to AD from SG again, it will be turning warmer. I remember that last year in July, we were always soaked in sweat and engulfed in the thick humidity (esp. in the nights), and would imagine how nice it would be to walk Kenji when the weather became cooler.

And so these last few months (Nov. onwards) were cool, and sometimes, the wind would be pretty strong. I have to put on a sweater or jacket wherever I go. And I found myself wondering when I can jump into the pool again, when I can be in my T-shirt, shorts and slippers again, when I can get my tan back again.

Even the house feels really cold and we have to put on the house slippers, and wrap ourselves up. Ha.

Snugly tugged, 被偷拍。:D

Today, after work, I played tennis (in 16-deg weather and with some wind), and while it was cold to begin with, I soon worked out a little bit of a sweat. :)) It was so so nice. I took up tennis lessons here and the coach is a very soft and mild-mannered Arabic man from Egypt. He is really gentle in demeanor... but packs a punch on court. I thought the 45-minute session was too short. But well... I will see him again in a month's time.


Then, because it was cold.. the next best thing to do was a hot shower, followed by Hot Pot!
Actually, we are pretty boring people and never really ventured out to eat all the "must-eats" here in Abu Dhabi. We've heard different ones recommend this place and that place, but generally, we don't think about driving out far to just get dinner, unless there's a special occasion. So tonight was kind of impromptu. We headed out about 940pm for hot pot! Haha, and it was really comfort food, like any of the steamboat buffets you can find in Singapore. This Seven Hotpot restaurant is opened by Chinese, and we had 2 soup bases and lots of the usual "steamboat" stuff. It was just... nice. :)) Now, we have 1 more place to add to our list and know where to head to for this kind of strong-taste craving.


I am wrapped up all again in the pink fleece blanket. It is time to turn in.
Tmr, Kenji will go to his "concentration camp". We jokingly term it that way because we are sure he will miss us so much. And also because he always looks so forlorn when we leave him there. He will also miss his warm couch and blankets.
