SydiaYY Sharing: The DAY in Dubai!!!! Burj Khalifa & Musical Fountain of Dubai Mall

It was the DAY in Dubai, the reason I was here. I came here because our company organized a seminar during the Gulfood season so that our customers can all meet us here in Dubai. I woke up earlier today at 3.30am Dubai time, wrote my yesterday;s blog and stared into emptiness in my room. I was too bored but I could not get back to sleep. There were still ample time before 9.00 am (the time that we will be gathering to leave for the seminar venue). So, I decided to go to the gym. You can use the gym anytime. It will be locked at night but you can just give a call to the reception and they will sent someone to open it for you. So, I went to the gym for some exercise.

The gym was small and the lighting was dim. I guessed it would look brighter in the morning as shown in the picture posted in Booking.com. I liked to do exercise early in the morning so that the gym is all mine^^.

I used the thread mill for a few minutes (not a big fan of running), did some squat and some weightlifting. I left when someone came in and i was already 6.38 am. It felt great to sweat a little after a few week without any exercises. I went back to my room, showered and got ready for breakfast. There were slight changes in the menu but still mainly Indian food and some local Arabic menu.

I got back to my room, dressed up and meet the others at the lobby. There were 9 of us with a lot of stuff to bring to the venue. so we took two taxis to World Trade Centre where our seminar was.

The place was huge. Although our seminar started at 1 pm but we still had many things to be done. We need to set up the sampling station with the sample we brought and pack the goodies bag for all the attendees. Our seminar started registration at 1.00 pm with lunch prepared for the attendees and us. There were appetizers, main course and desserts.

The food was really good. I loved the chicken served with Basmati rice. The chicken was slightly salty but went very well with the rice. Our seminar started at 2.00 pm sharp and ended at 6.00 pm. We cleaned up everything and went back to the hotel.

Later that night, I went to Dubai Mall which was 7 stations from Burjuman. We took the metro to Dubai Mall for AED 3 only. After exiting the metro station, we still had to walk for 5-10 minutes in order to reach Dubai Mall. There was a musical fountain located at LG of Dubai Mall in front of Burj Khalifa. It operates daily based on its daily schedule. You may visit this site for the time schedule. (https://thedubaimall.com/en/entertain-detail/the-dubai-fountain-1). We reached the location at 8.25 pm. There was a huge crowd where everyone was waiting for the show at 8.30 pm.

While waiting for the show to begin, you may enjoy the magnificent view of the world tallest building - Burj Khalifa. This monstrous building is 828 m tall.

Finally it was 8.30 pm and the music fountain show began. The music used was a Chinese theme music in conjunction with Chinese New Year.

After the show, we went to the food court located at second floor of Dubai Mall. There were so many stalls that you could not decide which to eat. I ended up having my late dinner (Supper for Malaysian stomach) with Lebanese food (stall name: Karam Express).

I ordered the set of Chicken Sharwama Sand which had two wraps, fries and a soft drink. I ended up eating only one of the wrap and kept the other for the morning.
