2007 International Market Place

On the 7th of December 2007, I went to PDO club for 2007 International Market Place. It was an annual event where different nationalities opening up their stalls selling their national cuisines and souvenirs. There was also performance by different nationalities showing up their own national dancing, singing and arts performing on stage. Ibu also got a chance to get her henna painting on her hand. We bought some Sate and Karipap from Malaysian and Brunei stalls. We also bought some souvenirs from Omani stalls. Check out the photos!

PDO UID Away Day at Al Sawadi Beach Resort

On the 6th December, 2007, I joined my ayah's colleagues and families to their Away Day at Al Sawadi Beach Resort (one hour drive from home). It's first time that I joined such an event and it became more interesting as it was in Oman. I enjoyed taking photos with camels eventhough I didn't dare riding them. The food was good and it's very nice relaxing by the beach.
