Golfing

     Two day ago, me and my three friends went golfing at Sharjah Gold and Shooting Club. We took an eighteen hole game and drove together with golf carts. The experience was nice and we all played well. On hole 10, the course was at its peak and many other golfers were coming. So we were slightly pressured by people behind us and slowed down by people in front of us. On one of the holes, my friend hit very far, about 250 yards and almost hit the person in front of us. They were angry and complained, so that shows that you should be careful when you hit. Anyways, the eighteen holes was very fun and I hope to do that again!

Jailbreak'ing to the furthest

   Despite the amount of updates continuously released by Apple, the jailbreaking community finds a way to jailbreak it. What was the big deal of the Iphone 4S? Well the Iphone 4S mainly has better graphics and a better A5 chip, but the main feature was Siri. Siri is basically a built in program that understand speech and does what you say. For example," Please call my 'Mom' afterschool." It will then do that at the specified time. Anyways, Siri was meant to be the special feature of the Iphone 4S as specified before. But now hackers have found a way to put Siri on the Iphone 4! Even with the new release of the firmware update 5.1, its been jailbroken. Its also an untethered jailbreak! You can search it up on many websites but normally for a jailbreak, i use Redsn0w. The Redsn0w application also allows you to boot for tethered and it has many features along with it!

Al-Ain Trip

     Yesterday my whole family went to Al-Ain for one night along with my friends family. We rented a chalet next to the mountains and unpacked everything there. Straight after packing we headed for a picnic at the foot of extensive hilly ranges. The picnic area was packed, it seemed as if everyone else choose to have a picnic at the same place on the same day. There were many different small ranges of rocky mountains. After the picnic, it was already midday and we headed back to the chalet for awhile. We took a short rest and wore sweaters, getting prepared to drive up the mountain. It was dark when we started departure to the mountains. As we started escalating higher and higher, my ears started to feel air pressure. After some stages or so there were observation stops. My friend had Chinese lanterns and lit them. The lanterns flew away in the air brightly, attracting lots of attention from other people along with it. Finally, we approached the summit. There wasn't much up there but a restaurant and some hotels. But the view was simply splendid. After this we went back to the chalet for the night. The next morning we went to the Al-Ain zoo. It was an average zoo but all zoos are a nice experience, in my opinion. At some point my baby sister was tired and got really grumpy. In result we had to leave and that concludes the trip. I'm just glad to say that I've been to Al-Ain before, it was a nice trip overall!

Honey! Sweet Goodness!

     Just yesterday, my parents and their friends along with me went to Global Village in Dubai. If you don't already know about Global Village, I have an article about it somewhere in my previous posts. Anyways, it was a really fun experience with many cultural stalls and amazing performances. We had visited 'Yemen,
 which is one of the many countries they have in Global Village. Yemen had lots of local merchandise and probably the most distinctive of them is their honey. Yemeni honey is supposed to be one of the best. Most of the sellers gave free samples of the many types of honey they sold. They had special honeys to add on to the original honey like honey for married couples or kids. Honey is very healthy along to it being very delicious. If someone tells you that honey isn't good for you then that person is wrong. Honey is rich in antioxidants. It helps clean the body and is good for your throat. Also, honey has various healing properties to nearly all parts of the body, it can even cure eye problems. Lastly, honey is good for skin care like healing scars. As a conclusion, honey is very tasty, sweet, and can be used for cooking as a glazing or dip whilst being very nutritious and good for you!
