Sandstorm ... Aug 16, 2006
Just now..

I'm busy on my desk ...doing my job though my boss is not around...(APL - arbab )
And then suddenly...thick dust covered Deira...I can see it on the office window..
It's like you're in Elm Street..
This is one part I don;t like Dubai..sandstorm aside from the fact that it does not rain... ( ohh I miss rain!)

How often does this happen? sandstorm...

Wow, I just took a look, unreal.

Normally after this you can get a little rain shower to clear the air, lets hope anyway.

And then it will be car washing time :lol:

I wish that little rain shower will really come...
Back home it almost rain the whole year round that's why i really missed it...staying at your room ...hearing the raindrops...or go out with your umbrella...and seeing the flood... then government will declare no work! :lol:

HP ...sheiks...farted ...yeah right funny...

It's funny, you really think you miss the rain, then when you get back to a country which has rain, 5 minutes is enough to get you real depressed and wishing for the blue sky of Dubai.
