New Arabian Ranches Interchanges

Yesterday, when we travel passing by the new Arabian Ranches Interchanges, we notice that previous roundabout already replaced with the new Interchange Flyover. This interchange linked Emirates Road with Umm Suqeim and Al Qudrah Roads, taking 24 months to complete at a cost of Dh410 million (S$164 million).

The previous roundabout at the intersection of Emirates Road has now been replaced by a multi-tier flyover spanning 11 bridges and one underpass. The project also entailed widening of Umm Suqeim Road to four lanes in each direction and Al Qudrah Road to two lanes in each direction. If you travel and miss the junction, you may take a big turn from the other junction.

This flyover just like the other highway interchanges along Sheikh Zayed Road, they are contrunsted with 6 lanes each direction and flyover to a big round flyover or underpass.

Fly with Emirates

This 7th August flying back to Singapore, I was unable to get the Singapore Air Line ticket as my own schedule. The company order the Emirates Airline business class ticket for both ways for my trip. But this EK 348 departure is at 3am midnight. To avoid over sleeping and traffic jam, I checked in earlier in Dubai International Airport about 11pm and spent about 4 hours enjoying some beers and food over there.

The flight took off and stopped over in Colombo of Sri Lanka for an hour. The food served very well together with some lastest movies in their ICE (Information, Communication & Entertainment) System.

By the time we landed in Singapore, it was about 4.40pm 8th August. So happy to see so many cloud in Singapore sky after several months of sandy sky in UAE.

My Way

And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain.
My friends, I'll say it clear; I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full - I've travelled each and every highway.
And more, much more than this, .........I did it my way.

Regrets? I've had a few, But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course - Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this, ......I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall ........And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill - my share of losing.
But now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that, And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh no. Oh no, not me. .......I did it my way.

For what is a man? What has he got? If not himself - Then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows And did it my way. ..........Yes, it was my way.
