Possibility of Rain in Oman 30.10.2011

As many people having being praying for rain in Muscat, Oman for months and months we didn't see much of it since the start of 2011.

We had a massive dust cloud few weeks ago and that was all.


Well, that's not the case for the time being or at least its seems to be not for the time being.

Following the local news two days ago, I came to find out about this wonderful low pressure floating in the mid of the Arabian Sea which I pray so hard will bring us a lot of good rain. I emphasize on the good part. :)

Even though the synopsis charts clearly show its drifting away very slowly from the Omani shore, which am starting to get a little depressed about every 2-3 hours. Due to one big fact, its a slow moving low pressure system, if it keeps the same speed it will slowly shift its course towards Pakistan or Iran once it has gone past Ras Al Haad.

So far the lucky areas which will witness the rain over the next 6 hours or so are as follows:

1. Sur
2. Qurriat
3. Muscat (Possibly)

I highly doubt Dhofar will have much of this low pressure rain over the next few days as its obviously moving towards the Northern parts of the Omani coast.

Local Store: Be Beautiful Boutique

In comparison to Boutique Muscat which a ridiculously over priced Muscat based boutique I think that Be Beautiful Boutique will be able to survive the difficult clothing industry in Muscat! Heck, they might even be the best in town.

With their simple, elegant designs which mainly consist of tops, blazers and a few dresses I think they might become extremely popular in a short period of time!

I will leave you with some pieces from their collection as shown on their Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Be-Beautiful-Boutique/183483231730970

Royal Opera House Muscat

The opera house in Muscat has been paid a special kind of visit by His Majesty the Sultan Qaboos of Oman, a soft opening if I may say so.

The building looks spectacular day & night, I have came across this video on the Opera house produced by a Dubai based agency TBWA\Raad on youtube.

Its simply amazing! <3

Frank and Ella - The Lady is A Tramp why is it so much better than Lady Gaga's version with Tony Bennets?

For so many reasons but the most important one is; the fact that old school is just simply unbeatable.

Lady Gaga lacks the class of Ella Fitzgerald, Tony & Frank are impossible to compare to each other because each one has his own greatness plus it'd be extremely stupid to say that one is better than the other.

Not saying that Gaga is bad its just that this is a song that will always be nicely remembered through Frank & Ella.

Sorry Gaga, try again..

Latest Sukar.com purchase!

Am loving my latest online purchase which was delivered to my apartment by sukar.com! The excitement is hard to describe when something so elegant arrives in a nicely packaged box (which I have left in my car because I had to show my sisters my new bracelet which am in love with so much!)

I must share with my online readers one fact about sukar.com which am not too fond of; they are SLOW! I placed an order on 29th August and my order arrived from Dubai to Muscat on the 29th September, a whole month to deliver a bracelet! I think its a serious issue they should look into improving soon or else they will lose a lot of customers because I am surely not a patient girl, I forgot that I placed an order but it was a nice surprise at the end!

I will leave you with pictures I took with my new canon lens ;)
