Singing Dune

Yesterday, I woke up around 11~ish a.m. That's quite early since the day before that I woke up straight after azan zuhur. =D Around 1pm, everyone, excluding Haziq, went to Uncle Yusry's house for lunch. Since I'm friendless, the only ppl I talked to the most was Atiqah. HAHA~~ Actually, there were only 4 to 5 families there and they were mostly adults. Not that I'm not friends with them, just that, well...we don't really have a lot of things in common to talk abt. Anyway..

1 hour later, we walked back home because we're the kind of ppl who don't like pollution and also because their flat was right opposite our house... :<

Home Sweet Home, nothing to do except relaxing all day long. AT LEAST, that was what I thought before mama told us to get ready to go to the Singing Dune. Hmm...this is the kind of life you get if you live with two adventurous parents. =p Chilling at home is prohibited!, not that I mind of course. =)

Eventhough abah tried to drive at the speed of light so that we can arrive there before sunset, the trip there took us nearly an hour. What's with the wrong turns and all.. As soon as we got there and met up with 2 other families, I realised something. I've been there b4! Not with my family but on a geography school trip. Huhu~~~=p (great times. great times.)

The sunset scenery was breathtakingly gorgeous. Somehow, it really made me feel for the 1st time, that I was incredibly lucky. To be able to live in an Arab country and was very fortunate to be able to see, for myself, what 'singing' dunes were really all about.

The fun part was trying to climb the dune. Since I am incredibly fit and likes challenges, I've picked the highest point to climb. YEp..Bring It On!!!! [not...] Like the uncles said - "1 step up, 3 steps down." As you would have noticed, dune climbing was the hardest exercise I've ever done throughout the year :+ so to whoever that wants to get fit and loose weight, TRY IT!...and break a leg! (literally.)
