Weekend events

Packed for an overnight stay on Thursday morning hoping things would work out,started late to work.For more than 3-4 days I have been starting late to work.Since traffic is not bad I take advantage of that too.So its been convinient to cook,clean and then be in office a little before 9am.Not having the boss around when you really need that sort of time is such a blessing right now!
Work was quite a bit on Thursday,though i enjoyed burger,fries and juice for lunch-the weekend start was good...mmmm,then headed off to the library,spent more than 1.5 hours reading a fresh book on marketing in the KH library.Nice library,cos no one really comes and i love the idea of having the PC on every desk,making it convenient to simultanously check on the lecture notes.Class began around 1700 hrs expecting to go on till 1900 hrs.Tasks about assignment were discussed and a little before 1900 hrs we were free to go home since it was becoming overload for a week's target and we decided to have more workshops.
I headed off to GSN and RSN's place.I got to drive RSN's X-trail,wow!lot of fun!smooth vehicle and the first 4x4 i drove!:-) JA and Sam called up,then once we got back home we kept asking about the dinner plans.The men as usual ,didnt want to step out,so SG,Rich and me went to Lamcy.Rich wanted to see the DSS events,while that kept him busy we bought him som KFC and we bought chinese for ourselves.It was good fun but kids can be tough and my God very tough at times!Once we got back home,RSN was all set to leave and we watched random stuff on TV until his car came.Once he left GSN played a movie called Yakeen,gosh it was crap!so i slept off and then come next morning we decided to go to a place called Dragon Mart after breakfast.We drove to Jumeirah,they have such beautiful villas out there and specially those that face the beach!Dragon Mart was closed so we explored Nad Al Sheba Club.Amazing place,nice drinks,sports on every TV screen,a beautiful view of the golf course and it had a pond in the centre,simply superb!i tried out Tropical Trio(mixture of kiwi,strawberry and mango) and had tortillas,yummy!then we went home for a nap when SG and me were bent upon watching Parineeta.We caught it at the Ibn Batuta Mall,the place was crowded n we picked up Nachos with salsa and jalepenos!We finished that in the first half of the movie,bought another tray for the next half and thus munched through out the movie.
Oh!the movie,well it was ok.What i enjoyed?well,the classic feel,the clothes,cars,haveli,the jewellery,the Moulin Rouge!LOL!it was all fun to observe,the story wasn't all that great,but the relation pictured was too close to heart to ignore!the 1st half had some pace but all that was lost after the intermission!Rich got his face painted -some bat man kinda thing,eeks.There was a weird act at the mall.A gora had this huge balloon over his head and he was walking around waving his hand....very weird act!
After we got back home had dinner,drive was very tiring and crashed on the bed in no time!

Nice weekend....

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...
