Time for footie


A song/poem dedicated to all my friends at football in Dubai...
We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

RAP
We love us some good footie
Yalla, let’s get busy
This may not be no champions league
But still we’re always well fatigued
We’re often put to the test
But we always try our best
We’ve created a community
Such a wonderful opportunity

DWFA on Tuesday nights
The games are played under the lights
Some girls they got some moves
They all got something to prove
Let us not forget Mix it up
Saturdays, mixed teams battle for the cup
The guys are finally invited to play
They all got mad skills to display

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!
  
RAP
And what about that new team
Dubai All Stars are very keen
They thought they’d get their butts kicked
But such good results no one could predict
They sometimes play in Jabel Ali
Or bus it all the way to Abu Dhabi
Top 3 is definitely where they want to be
Amongst some of the best in the UAE

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

Living Outside The Box

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I believe I’m on the path I’m meant to be." As we get older, it’s easy to get trapped in society’s idea of what life "should" look like. By the time we hit 40, there’s a well-defined picture of success: owning a home, starting a family, climbing the career ladder. But as I approach this milestone, I’m choosing to remind myself that true happiness isn’t found in checking off someone else’s list. It’s found in stepping outside the box, embracing the unexpected, and allowing life to unfold in its own unique way. Sure, my path hasn’t always been conventional, and I’ve often found myself comparing my journey to others, wondering why I’m not where they are. But when I take a step back and reflect, I see how much I’ve gained by stepping off the well-worn road. Life may not have gone according to plan, but I’m proud of the unexpected milestones I’ve reached along the way. I’ve traveled to over 40 countries, lived in three (ye...

The runner in me

“Mind over miles.” A few years back, I was all in. I was that person signing up for every race that came across my radar—10K’s, half-marathons, marathons—you name it. The thrill of crossing the finish line, the camaraderie at the starting line, the way the crowds cheered you on, it was all so energizing. I didn’t even need music to get through a run, even a whole 42km marathon, which, I know, sounds crazy to most people. But there I was, in my zone, taking it all in and doing something I enjoyed. I collected lots of medals and racked up plenty of podium finishes, but most importantly I had some memorable international races, and met tons of amazing people along the way. I discovered that running was a really accessible sport; all you needed was a pair of shoes and the will to go. I could literally show up to a race, put one foot in front of the other, and—boom—be part of a community of people all working toward the same goal. So, what happened? Why did I stop running? For me, it came d...

Locked in.

“ The successful warrior is the average (wo)man , with laser-like focus. ” Life’s been feeling a little dull lately, but there’s one thing keeping me fired up; the experience of a lifetime is just around the corner. In just four weeks, I’ll be heading to Chicago to compete in the Hyrox World Championships, and I’m locked in. For many competitive and athletic kids, the dream is to make it to the Olympics or stand on a world championship stage in their sport. While Hyrox may not be the Olympics, for me, this is kind of that moment. This is my ‘world stage’; I can’t wait to soak it all in and add it to the list of things I’m proud of. This idea sort of started on my 40th birthday this year. While most people celebrate with a party and cake or a getaway, I made a wild choice: I booked my place in the Hyrox World Championships with my doubles partner. Bold? Definitely. Crazy? Probably. Worth it? Without a doubt. The last time I pushed myself this hard was back in 2019 when I trained for a C...
