I am so exhausted. the whole set of crew decided to give Karachi a last minute tour and a slight boost to its economy. Overwhelmed by boredom, we rented a minibus and went to several places to kill our time here. First, we went to Zainab Market, where we (girls) went crazy for the Kurtis (ladies pakistani tops) which were sold at a damn cheap price of 4 bucks each! I bought 6 of 'em. Next, we stopped by the Emperor's Market and then we visited the tomb of the founder of Pakistan. Now that was the hightlight! Not the fact that it has a beautiful sculpture which rested on the the blue patchy sky, but the fact that the locals reacted to us like how the PAPARAZZI will treat the celebrities! Different groups of people started surrounding us with their mobile phones, trying to get a snap of us. I really wonder how diffferent they think we are from them that the amazement they experience at the sight of us is simply unbelievable. Those who were already by the tomb, got distracted by our entrance and joined the rest of the mob by surrounding us too. Unfortunately for us, the celebrities for the day, we only managed to take a few snaps and had to leave. Believe it or not, we could not stop for more than a minute at one spot as the locals will definitely swarm around us. GOODNESS! Ms Hilton, i so get you.  Well, enough of the effort to convince you guys about what happened. Just take a look at the pictures below. hehe.

Well, after visiting the tomb, we went to a seafood restarant called, BAR-B-Q Tonight for dinner. One word: Scrumptuous!

Prawns and Prompret (or stephanie would call it Ikan Bawal: classic)

The super big special platter! Yummy.

After the heavy dinner, we had Chai (tea) in the van. Basically, we just order the tea, it was served directly to our vehicle. We had our tea in the vehicle. Once we're done, we actually could place the tea cups on the car roof and press the horn so that the vendors know we are finished. But  we dint do that coz we were in a van! not practical. heh. Our last stop was the Arabian Sea. The sea maintains at our knee levels for as long as approximately 150 metres or more. You can also find horses, donkeys, camels at the shore and can ride them for a small amount of money. However, tanning is not advised. hahhaha. try it n you will never return! hahha. and also coz the sand is practically dark grey in colour with blobs of faeces here and there. Eew, eew eew.

And now, after a nice shower i am lying in the comfortable bed, all ready to zonk out! Cant wait to go home tomorrow~ I miss my bf so much! Alright then, its been a pretty long entry. till the next one, ciao!

So the MDIS peeps decided to meet up for buka at bugis last friday with much hopes from a few, especially cynthia, that we will avoid geylang! FAT HOPE! hahha. we ended up going to geylang right after breaking fast. thus, bugis was unnecessary. sorry cyn, its not my fault that the rest dint have anywhere else to go...hahaha.

with her slippers packed to replace her heels to forge through the stampede of malays, cynthia hesitantly followed us to the most crowded precinct in SIngapore. We kept on telling her how fun it would be to diss the floating caps and 'night' shades worn by mats to make her feel better. dint work. hahah. so we met up with mazly and sinar  and took some pics along the way.

once i get back home, i will upload some of the raya pics I took and the latest pics of Alvena Nasya, my cute lil niece!

As for now, i shall take a short nap before heading out with the rest of the crew for some shopping and a dinner at redford restaurant. 

till then, take care and selamat hari raya, maaf zahir dan batin.

Cheers,
