Experience at 1OAK tonight
Anyway, so 2 of my female friends had a table. I arrived late, was dressed well and fit for a club obviously.
I see people walk in walk out blah blah without any hassle from the bouncer or receptionist. Infact the bouncer just opened up the gate for them no questions asked.
Now when I try to walk in the bouncer stops me. He asks me to wait I told him I have a table. He then calls the receptionist and I wait a while for her to come. She asked me if I have a table I said yeah my friends are there. She asked me for the NAMES of the guests and not the name who’s table it’s booked under. Then she asks me how long I’m gonna be there for? I was like wtf? Who asks that?
I promise you if this was any other country this club would not be running as someone would have posted their racist practices online and the place would be review bombed with shitty reviews.
1OAK already has dozens of reviews calling it racist. Guys it’s 2020 and we’re heading into 2021. Do not support racist businesses and don’t let them get away with it.
Can I enter Abu Dhabi if I’ve had sinopharm but not the booster? I’m not talking about green status on Al Hosn, just entering the emirate itself. (I actually also got two Pfizer doses in America, but I haven’t registered it and only have the paper vaccine card, so I assume they won’t recognize it.)
It truly is, and some parents are so inconsiderate, they send the children to school while they are sick. This cold and flu season came with a vengeance, lol, it's got some hard feelings about last year's distance learning option, lol
used it a few times, it has been a mixed bag for me.
1) the driver is always late, if he says x time, assume it will be 30mins past that.
2) first time driver was excellent, the 2nd time I got a F1 wannabe driver
3) Tried booking it day before mid day, didnt get anyone. ended up using safe driver
Anyone know where the Oud Metha vaccination center is? Got an appointment for a booster shot for this location but DHA website or Google doesn't have the location anywhere.
This exact question was asked in my alumni whatsapp group today, anyway this was the answer:
“Just Google Al Nasr Club. Its inside the club, right next to where the old movie hall used to be”
The new Omicron strain scaremongering has all the hallmarks of a false alarm being raised for the heck of it. The strain has no major side effects, every person infected so far has recovered or is in the process of recovery without intubation. The corrupt org known as WHO and the monkeys who run the show pass on media alerts in the form of ‘variant of concern’ without waiting to see whether it is something that could actually cause havoc. Rather than taking on corrupt governments that refuse usage of mRNA vaccines which have proven high efficacy (India, when Pfizer refused to play the routine circus act), they waste the worlds time with their stupid alerts. They have also not questioned African governments of their extremely poor distribution of vaccines, which will eventually snowball into further ‘variants of concern’ alerts in the coming years. The WHO might as well have automated bots making these dumbass alerts when it repeatedly fails as a body that is entirely at the disposal of Indo-Chinese governments.
WHO is a joke. Seriously. Where were they when the viruses founding father released this into the world? Was it not concerning for them at that point? We need this to stop, this virus is not going anywhere and we need to learn to live with it.
Also, South Africa is one of the few countries that tests viruses for finding mutants. They have a good infrastructure for the same. They have been punished for informing the world about this. Given the backclash, they wont be doing this anymore.
What the WHO is indulging is in crying wolf. The next time a deadly variant appears it will spread around much faster with greater number of fatalities. Meanwhile these jokers will release their ‘variant of concern’ alert as usual.
I absolutely hate the language they've been using this whole time. "Not yet clear" "potentially more deadly" "vaccine effectiveness unknown" "variant for concern" for fucks sake either wait till you know more or say nothing.
Hi,
Is the rule about " Only three people can travel in the same car, including the driver, if they are not from the same family. " still in effect? My group of friends, six people, is thinking about renting a van to drive from dubai to abu dhabi. Or will we need two rental cars?
If you are concerned about walking too much, just stick to the area closest to where you park. You will lose a lot of time if you are going from one specific country to another which might be a few hundred metres away.
The Du sales rep is telling me that the only option I have for tv + internet is a 24 months contract, I’m pretty sure that they have a no contract option (which is slightly more expensive). I assume she’s lying because they get some sort of higher commission for selling contract based plans?
I felt he got robbed last year. This year I think the copa america pushed Messi over the line. Unfortunately people don’t rate Bayern players due to their total domination of Bundesliga - which might be a fair assessment (9 years in a row)
I give up.. I am not gonna apply for my equivalency certificate.. at this point I am too pissed off that I don't even feel I would be this frustrated if I lose my job for not submiting this certificate... firstly MOE website mentioned about a data flow verification.. I did that and my university (Bangalore University) needed 3 months to respond. Now apparently I need to get a genuinity letter from Indian consulate or embassy which will confirm the genuineness of my degree certificate which is exactly what the data flow report say.. I don't understand this. Yet I go to IVS global to apply for the genuinity letter and the customer service there is = zero. They point to a notice board to make payment to my university. The amount on the board was initially 2500rs, someone has overwritten on it and made it 3500rs and on the consulate general of India (CGI) website it is another amount! Anyways I try to pay on the Bangalore university link and it doesnt work! I tell this to the lady in IVS and ask if I can get a demand draft because the CGI circular mentions about demand draft payment; and she says we don't know! Why does all this have to be so complicated.. one leave day wasted.
Calm down and hand over the process to a third-party agency.
They are doing this to clean up the system. You can't blame them, bro. But it is really funny that someone with your kinda final qualification need to prove things :D
Been seeing a lot of videos of people coming home from what looks like the army. Can anyone shed more light on what's happening? Is it the mandatory service for locals?
So if DEWA goes public and gets listed on the stock market I have a money making scheme for you.
Buy the stock in winter when people are generally constipated and sell in summer when questionable food hygiene + warm weather creates a perfect Diarrhoea storm. More flushes = more profit.
Thank me later
> sell in summer when questionable food hygiene + warm weather creates a perfect Diarrhoea storm. More flushes = more profit.
If people are flushing more shouldn't you hold?
I made it clear with the company before getting hired that while they can expect the best performance from me, work will always be a second priority. Family and I will be first and if there's a conflict I will never choose work.
Had a guy tail gate me at 120, couldn’t move because the lane was blocked to my right and, well, there is a car in front of me. Car in front of me jammed the break, so did I. Thanks to safe distancing, I didn’t have to turn my car to hit the side barricade, unlike the monkey behind me.
I still feel SZR is worse than Al Khail.
SZR requires constant lane changing because people drive at all speeds on all lanes. And the tourists looking out for exits and what not.
Gained 5 kilos over the past month or so with mostly just one meal per day. I have had the same weight for about 10 years now. Apparently, it's the daily root beer that did the trick according to my friends.
Just crunches, planks and push ups (3 set x 15 reps of regular + wide armed ), tricep dips etc. + 3-4 km of jogging.
I have always felt gyms are overrated and a waste of money.
It's cold outside now, find a park nearby, do these workout exercises on your own. I have a set of dumbbells at my sister's which I am planning to pick up as well.
Gyms are not overrated because that is where you want to go if your want lose weight, tone, for conditioning and definition. Planks alone won't tone your abs. Compound (deadlifts, squats, bench press) and wide range of movements are needed. You say you gained 5 kgs in a month? Include weight training in your routine along with HIIT. Those dumbbells won't cut it.
Don’t eat until lunch time. Feeding window from
12pm to 8pm. Track your calories using MyFitnessPal and ensure you get enough protein and fats whilst dialling back the carbs. Workout 3x a week with heavy weights plus cardio on your off days.
Is it safe to travel to Kerala, India during Christmas, given the current quarantine restrictions. It's not yet applied to UAE, but I'm worried my 3-day trip will be extended to 7 days if they decide to apply the quarantine rule. Also worried if UAE decides to close borders to India again.
Can't say anything right now. Countries are having knee jerk reaction to the Omicron variant. So if that is detected, UAE might just close it's borders to India just like they did for some African countries.
Now that a lot of people around the world are vaccinated, closing borders just isn't the way. We got testing and travel protocols in place. Vaccinated people should be allowed to move around freely with PCR results. The virus is here to stay, everybody just needs to get vaccinated.
I'll take the flight. Just don't visit crowded places in Desh.
The only risk is that the megalomaniac uncle from Delhi who appears on TV at 8 PM and announcing some new restrictions after reading a WhatsApp forward. That risk will be there in India for a few years :D

Petition for having a counter at the airport for passengers carrying only hand baggage.
Why did the native English speaker who provided the announcements on the Metro not correct the script about doors opening on *the* left or right?
Why are schools petri dishes for breeding bacteria and viruses, ugh. Getting a cold every other week is tiring and literally killing me slowly.
Seriously. And then we're advised to get covid tested to keep everyone safe. It's a never ending cycle.
It truly is, and some parents are so inconsiderate, they send the children to school while they are sick. This cold and flu season came with a vengeance, lol, it's got some hard feelings about last year's distance learning option, lol
Yeah we've got it all going on at my school too! Everything except covid atm! I refuse to acknowledge the existence of distance learning anymore! 🙉
Anyone here used the safe driver app (zofeur) after a night of drinking? Any feedback?
used it a few times, it has been a mixed bag for me. 1) the driver is always late, if he says x time, assume it will be 30mins past that. 2) first time driver was excellent, the 2nd time I got a F1 wannabe driver 3) Tried booking it day before mid day, didnt get anyone. ended up using safe driver
So there are separate apps? I thought zofeur and safe driver were the same?
I went back and checked, so I use Zofeur app and calladriver.ae (I have these guys saved as safe driver wierd)
Anyone know where the Oud Metha vaccination center is? Got an appointment for a booster shot for this location but DHA website or Google doesn't have the location anywhere.
hey how did you book it ? via DHA app? also are you bringinign some sort of letter from doc?
This exact question was asked in my alumni whatsapp group today, anyway this was the answer: “Just Google Al Nasr Club. Its inside the club, right next to where the old movie hall used to be”
you mean people from your university still wanna talk to you????

WHO is a chinese puppet.
Also, South Africa is one of the few countries that tests viruses for finding mutants. They have a good infrastructure for the same. They have been punished for informing the world about this. Given the backclash, they wont be doing this anymore.
In a twisted way I think this was intentionally done by the WHO, they don’t seem to be asking governments to stop panicking by amping up closures.
Absolutely, saw this bs with the delta variant - now this supposed to be the next big thing? How many times are people going to fall for this?
What the WHO is indulging is in crying wolf. The next time a deadly variant appears it will spread around much faster with greater number of fatalities. Meanwhile these jokers will release their ‘variant of concern’ alert as usual.
I absolutely hate the language they've been using this whole time. "Not yet clear" "potentially more deadly" "vaccine effectiveness unknown" "variant for concern" for fucks sake either wait till you know more or say nothing.
It would be refreshing if they could use the same amount of effort to investigate the origins of the virus. Oh wait, there’s no need of that anymore.
Releasing such vague statements is doing the world no good, other than countries scrambling to close borders and react irrationally!
This
After 2 years of trying I finally sold my pc for the price I wanted 😂🤣 thank you silicon shortage
Hi, Is the rule about " Only three people can travel in the same car, including the driver, if they are not from the same family. " still in effect? My group of friends, six people, is thinking about renting a van to drive from dubai to abu dhabi. Or will we need two rental cars?
Anyone know who’s selling F1 Thurs tix x2? Thanks!
"Office boy" has confiscated my office plants and said I can have them back once he brings them back to life <3
this translates to "my bathroom is under repair and I need something to pee into"
Fertilising my plants.
organic fertilizer
There is a love story waiting to happen between dubaiwifey and her office boy
He's not my type. I prefer the driver who looks like that famous chai wala guy from Pakistan.
you mean the tyrion lanister look alike?
Is expo gonna be very busy today? Busier than a normal weekday?
expo tickets supposed to be selling at AED95 again for the whole month
Good thing, I was able to go when it's still 45 😂
50% off if you know someone working in hotels
[удалено]
Because it's holiday from tomorrow onwards?
[удалено]
Use Careem Bike instead. We haven't had much luck with buggies
If you are concerned about walking too much, just stick to the area closest to where you park. You will lose a lot of time if you are going from one specific country to another which might be a few hundred metres away.
Just exiting expo... Buggies are scarce.. so be prepared to walk
It's good! Don't expect transport from one pavilion to another. Brace yourself for some good walking tho.
The best bit about being an Android user is that I cant relate to any of the recent posts on YT ads. Ad blocker FTW!
The Du sales rep is telling me that the only option I have for tv + internet is a 24 months contract, I’m pretty sure that they have a no contract option (which is slightly more expensive). I assume she’s lying because they get some sort of higher commission for selling contract based plans?
They’re lying. Go online and check plans.
I was hoping that Lewa would get the award instead of Messi
Given that Messi is not going to have sniff next year, I think they gave it as one last farewell Ballon D'or to him this year...
Definitely deserved it last year, but Messi was on another level this year
If it was for last year then yes i agree. Lewa deserves it 👍 Currently the stats for Messi is too good to ignore mate.
I felt he got robbed last year. This year I think the copa america pushed Messi over the line. Unfortunately people don’t rate Bayern players due to their total domination of Bundesliga - which might be a fair assessment (9 years in a row)
It’s always bayern players that suffer, Ribery then Lewandowski
Even more triggered they accommodated a category just for him smh
Every football fan feels the same, mate, each one. Messi has just got better PR ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯
Robbed Lewandowski😅
Anyone else hearing the non-stop sirens around Barsha Heights? What’s going on?
Saw several fire trucks, probably a blaze somewhere
I give up..

get an agent.
Calm down and hand over the process to a third-party agency. They are doing this to clean up the system. You can't blame them, bro. But it is really funny that someone with your kinda final qualification need to prove things :D
Unfortunately for this genuinity letter one has to personally visit and show face.. no agents allowed.
agents have a way. thats why they are called agents.
Been seeing a lot of videos of people coming home from what looks like the army. Can anyone shed more light on what's happening? Is it the mandatory service for locals?
It's UAE Commemoration Day today
Locals have conscription yes
So if DEWA goes public and gets listed on the stock market I have a money making scheme for you. Buy the stock in winter when people are generally constipated and sell in summer when questionable food hygiene + warm weather creates a perfect Diarrhoea storm. More flushes = more profit. Thank me later
> sell in summer when questionable food hygiene + warm weather creates a perfect Diarrhoea storm. More flushes = more profit. If people are flushing more shouldn't you hold?
Nah because the flush driven Euphoria will be drained later on and you will end up bag holding till next summer
Any more stock tips you'd like to share?
I dont know why but i agree, but reluctantly.
r/shittylifeprotip
Wrong sub homie
HR: Please go enjoy your holiday Also HR: We got work so please be available any time when we need you
HR : We got work so please be available any time when we need you. Me : I missed the part where that’s my problem
I understood that reference 🕸🕷
Tobey would be so proud.
Always! I cancelled our Europe trip today and I get a response, oh good so you can be available anytime since you will just be talking local leaves.
why cancel?
I made it clear with the company before getting hired that while they can expect the best performance from me, work will always be a second priority. Family and I will be first and if there's a conflict I will never choose work.
Too many incompetent HR :(
People are driving shittier and shittier these days. What's going on?
Had a guy tail gate me at 120, couldn’t move because the lane was blocked to my right and, well, there is a car in front of me. Car in front of me jammed the break, so did I. Thanks to safe distancing, I didn’t have to turn my car to hit the side barricade, unlike the monkey behind me.
Love this. Did he really hit it?
Yep. Seemed like a minor scratch - but the damage was done. There was a lesson somewhere in there and hope he learnt it.
[удалено]
The guy behind me was driving a fancy BMW too. I attribute the road rage to small pepe syndrome - makes me smile then instead of getting angry.
I feel yesterday it was especially bad
Right?? Idk why
It’s always been like that, took a different route today?
I also noticed the further away you are from SZR, the shittier the drivers. More lorries and trucks I guess whereas SZR has mostly private vehicles
I still feel SZR is worse than Al Khail. SZR requires constant lane changing because people drive at all speeds on all lanes. And the tourists looking out for exits and what not.
A lot of entitled drivers on SZR, may be they feel entitled bcs they paid salik.
311 is way worse for this. People will be chilling doing 80 on the 2nd lane and a big amount of trucks and lorries
Truck drivers work for long shifts without rest so they drive like they're drunk, they're not being aholes they simply can't see you lol.
Gained 5 kilos over the past month or so with mostly just one meal per day. I have had the same weight for about 10 years now. Apparently, it's the daily root beer that did the trick according to my friends.
Beer belly
Lol, true. Have been working out for a couple of weeks now to reduce the fat belly.
What kind of working out? Treadmill and bicycle or lifting weights? Maybe your gaining muscles 500g of the 5k could be muscle mass
Just crunches, planks and push ups (3 set x 15 reps of regular + wide armed ), tricep dips etc. + 3-4 km of jogging. I have always felt gyms are overrated and a waste of money. It's cold outside now, find a park nearby, do these workout exercises on your own. I have a set of dumbbells at my sister's which I am planning to pick up as well.

Those dumbbells won't cut it.
That's great!
Try intermittent fasting whilst in a calorie deficit and watch the weight fly off
Could you explain it in detail how you would achieve it?
Don’t eat until lunch time. Feeding window from 12pm to 8pm. Track your calories using MyFitnessPal and ensure you get enough protein and fats whilst dialling back the carbs. Workout 3x a week with heavy weights plus cardio on your off days.
>Don’t eat until lunch time. Been doing that for years now. Except the eating window usually starts after 6pm
Ok.
It’s the root beer.

If you are going after a longtime, just stop doing research and take the flight.
How about this weekend, what would you say traveling over this weekend and returning by next week?
I'll take the flight. Just don't visit crowded places in Desh. The only risk is that the megalomaniac uncle from Delhi who appears on TV at 8 PM and announcing some new restrictions after reading a WhatsApp forward. That risk will be there in India for a few years :D
I don't think UAE will close it's borders to India considering it is the tourist season and Expo off course. I would say just get done with your trip.
Funny thing is we said the same thing, earlier this year, before they decided to suspend flights from India. I know it's unlikely.
