Dubai - Day 9-10

It took us 8 hours to fly back to Dubai from Casablanca. After the flight, Ah Lun fell sick. It's already 3am when we checked in the hotel.
Dec is the best month to visit Dubai, which means hotel rates are high. I could not stay in the beautiful hotels this time on my own budget, so we just go for Ibis Hotel Mall of Emirates. HKD800 per room per night is very reasonable. But given that we are arriving in mid night, we had to book two nights. So unfair!!
We have got one day in Dubai and Ah Lun is sick. What should we do? We have to do something easy.
Finally, Ah Lun would like to shoot Burj Al Arab from the beach. We spent sometime there chatting and this was the best moment for our anniversary + birthday trip 2012. After this, we went back to hotel so Ah Lun could take a little break. And then, right after the sun had set, we went straight to Dubai Fountain to shoot Burj Khalifa. The tower always look beautiful during the magical hours. After some serious shots, Ah Lun wants "steak". You can imagine his appetite was not pleased in Morocco. When we went to Dubai, we know we will be full and satisfied in every meal.
After dinner at TGI Friday (balcony overlooking the fountain), we decided to get a small cake for our dual celebration - his birthday and our wedding anniversary. I got it from my favourite bakery, Paul, at the Dubai Mall. I brought along the long candles from Hong Kong. Meiling thought she is creative, and suggested to cut the long candle into 5 pieces to indicate that's 5th anniversary. Unfortunately we did not have scissors to cut the cotton thread inside the candle! Ah Lun showed his craftsmanship by bending the candle into the number "5" with a lighter. It's amazing. Hurray! We have a special candle to go with this rich Chocolate cake.
That's the end of our 2012 holiday. We know this is a tough holiday, but we know this eye-opening trip will stay in our heart forever. Cannot wait to start editing the beautiful pictures taken in Morocco.

Dubai - we will come back for a long and luxury holiday. wait for us! 
Watching the music fountain from 3rd floor balcony was great 
as we could see the pattern clearly from top. 
First time having a candle burnt from right to left.
