ski. in dubai?
the last time i experience ski, it was in bali (serious. blog about that here)
recently, i went skiing in another hot city
apparently, Dubai boasted the largest indoor ski slope on planet earth.
Known as Ski Dubai, it is the main feature of the famed Mall of Emirates (which ranks as the biggest shopping mall in the Middle East, according to Wikipedia the daily kindergarten bible)
no wonder shopping is dubbed the no.1 sport in Dubai
later i went bowling with some friends.
fact: the last time i went rolling was when i am 9 years old, after a typical boring day at school. Went back home quite late from the bowling alley, and got caned by mum. So bowling is kinda evil sport for me, full of greed, sin and lust.
Fast forward 20 year + later, i scored a weak 150 in the first game. is that the passing mark?
One thing that baffled me since i moved here is the huge presence of supercars on the road, some are literally left cold on the hot dusty road
checkout this Prancing Horse with the Qatari plate, and some random douchebag poser acting lame

conclusion:
1. skiing might be the coolest thing to do in dubai
2. don't tell my mum i went bowling
the gaslight anthem- the '59 sound
New Jersey's The Gaslight Anthem’s debut album Sink or Swim turned a lot of heads upon its release last year, and the band was quickly singled out as one to watch for the future.
Their fresh blend of punk, soul and blues, which mainly due to their charismatic frontman Brian Fallon, might be punk rock's equivalent to NJ's other golden boy, Bruce Springsteen.
The band's second effort The '59 Sound arguably leapfrogs their impressive debut, which was one of 2007's best release. Packed full of vivid imagery and storytelling that resembles Born to Run/Darkness on the Edge of Town*-era Springsteen, The '59 Sound is an impeccable work of punk rock artsy
