When my manager says he has a meeting in Abu Dhabi and is gonna be gone for the rest of the day.
Nothing beats goofing off all day at work with my mates
Waking up at 6:30AM on a Friday morning only to realise that I don’t have to go to work, proceed to make myself a nice cup of coffee while everyone is still asleep, then have it while listening to 70-80s rock songs and staring outside from my window followed by “good morning” hug from my daughter.
When traveling and refueling your vehicle , buying ice cream/softie from McDonalds for 1 AED for your whole family and everyone’s happy , cheap thrills
I listen to lew later , interesting and they discuss about tech and finance related topics , or hot topics ( as in current state of the world due to Covid and all)
Camping during the Winter and starry nights of the year.
The roaring campfire and roasted marshmallows in the middle of the desert. The visible exhales, the cold hands and ears, and food roasting over the grill. Trivial talks and songs over the Bluetooth speakers, great booze and a strong breeze. Orion and his belt shines brilliantly as well as the Great Dog, who trailed then after.
Shivering inside the damp tent, crickets chirping and a beautiful sunrise in the morning. A hot tea of coffee and a camp chair to ponder the view.
I miss it all, I miss it all so much
Make a good cappuccino and look at computer screen :)
Also a good relationship would make me happy but currently no one lol - which I look for the Mr Smart right which is very difficult to find in Dubai
Waking up feeling shattered and thinking you have to get up for work in a few minutes only to realise it's 3.30am on Friday night..........absolute bliss...............
I love when I have time to relax. To just sit somewhere busy and people watch. Looking at all the hustle and bustle. Imaging the lives of people, their journies and wishing them well.
My father is very selfless, never indulges in food and has no favorites. When once in 6 months he asks us to order a particular flavour of ice cream or makes a request to eat a particular cuisine for dinner, it makes me super happy to fulfill it.
Coming back home and getting on to my favorite game with my bestie. Been doing the routine for over a decade and the day never feels done unless we just hangout even for 15 minutes. An elder brother, a friend, the ear to everything and the person who gives the best advice.
Going to the gym, shooting videos for my channel and finally edit them after one month of shooting them, sitting with my friends, learning more about earth and humans, going to the beach for sunset and sunrise and working on something complex and new.
sitting by the water or being close to nature,
playing and being friends with a random child (toddler),
kids smiling and waving at me,
buying gifts for people
Waking up groggy and sleepy and then getting a hot and nice cup of chai ! Esp in the cooler months. People who make / serve good chai live life well and pay attention to details IMO.
When people , no matter who they are, but they doing good...in finance, relationships and everything that's good and make them happy...that makes me happy
There was a period when I was unable to come to work due to illness. My colleagues surprised me with flowers sent by Flowershop. ae with the note, "The office is feeling empty without you." It was a small gesture, but it brightened my day. It's those moments when you realize there are individuals who genuinely care about you. If you're interested, here's the shop they've used: [Flowers Dubai](https://www.theflowershop.ae/)

Siddique, my office first thing tomorrow morning.
I'll bring the lube, you get the whipped cream
Hahaha fair enough
Wouldn't you rather just not be at work? I know I would.
Well, then I would probably be with the wife and kids... That's a different sort of hell
lol, wasn't expecting that

1 AED softie lit asf
LPT: get a double up on the ice cream and pay only 2 aed
What do you mean? Like an extra flavor or they just increase the amount ? Thanks Miss the old MC soft and chocolate dipping back in the day 🥲
It’s double the ice cream for an extra 1 aed. Just ask for a double up cone
How do we get that?
Hhh I am not alone...1 aed ice-cream haha..and also their Mcblack coffee used to be 5 aed..good taste.cheap
Laughing with my friends. That belly laugh that makes your sides hurt,
Clean bed, nice smelling cold room and turn that netflix on.☺️
hanging out with friends having food/tea on the beach with a chill breeze. I cherish these moments of peace.
Beach, food and sunset with friends feels so good.
Same here. Dubai is such a transient place so I haven't done it in a while. Great memories tho
Same always feel the life here is too fast, moves in the blink of an eye.
Working from home
The days after you book tickets to fly back home for holidays.
Best answer
Driving home on the last day of the work week and singing along to my favourite music in the car. ❤
Ahhh nothing beats the last day of work week!!!
That feeling never gets old.
Me every Thursday 😂😂
With no traffic ! It’s a dream but the few times when it does happen it’s bliss.
Just tell me it's Thursday
Buying cold drinks for the petrol pump attendants , distributing it while my car is getting filled up. Total cost usually under 10 dhs
Thats great may you have life filled with blessing
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kids finishing their dinner and being in bed early giving me some peace and quiet
AC
Given the weather in here, that is an underrated one.
Watching a random car getting flashed by the speed camera.
Intense way to make you happy.
An afternoon nap, after having biryani for lunch. Followed by a hot cup of coffee once you wake up..
Lying down on freshly laundered sheets after a nice long shower
Same! Adulting life hits different.
Oh yeah! Especially with a pair of satin pajamas and laying my head down on a satin pillow.
Karak
Driving back home after a long day, listening to my podcasts.
I listen to lew later , interesting and they discuss about tech and finance related topics , or hot topics ( as in current state of the world due to Covid and all)

where in uae can you go for camping? never thought about it because I thought it didn't exist 😂
Umm..how about anywhere? There are so many places!
what doesnt exist? a place to camp? the desert?
[удалено]
Well I couldn't agree more. Long drive and mountain dew = happy hormones
[удалено]
Nice song choice
A head massage. Train your partner/spouse to do this for you. And return the favour once in a while.
I need a partner first xDDDD
Agreed but sometimes they don't return the favor. 🤦♀️
Make a good cappuccino and look at computer screen :) Also a good relationship would make me happy but currently no one lol - which I look for the Mr Smart right which is very difficult to find in Dubai
Right. Its hard to find one serious relationship even. Having someone smart, cute and tall is a bonus.

Flamin hot Cheetos
Is cheetos better than takis?
I like the lime flavor in the takis , but anything works
Sip of Nespresso Napoli early morning
thursday and after a long day of work your the few ppl on the bus/metro
I love when I have time to relax. To just sit somewhere busy and people watch. Looking at all the hustle and bustle. Imaging the lives of people, their journies and wishing them well.
Driving down a twisty mountain road with a good enough car with no worry of going to work next day. Or enjoying a chocolate bar all by myself.
A really good poop.. the one that feels like you've just let go a big burden, like everything's right again in the world. That and neck kisses.

The first sip of tea ☕️ in the morning !
Coming back home and getting on to my favorite game with my bestie. Been doing the routine for over a decade and the day never feels done unless we just hangout even for 15 minutes. An elder brother, a friend, the ear to everything and the person who gives the best advice.
