On this weekend I was planning with Adnan to move to some other state in UAE for a change, after all spending every weekend in the same town was boring. Adnan owns a car so we decided to move after finishing up the work late night. We started 2:00 midnight for a change. Before moving on we took a nice meal at KFC, a cup of tea from our favorite gas station on Jumerah Road and finally gear up to move on, but wait we had nothing in our mind where to move, so we tossed and finally it was decided to move to Fujairah, a very romantic state. We were driving for the first time to Fujairah so we took the directions by means of map from the same gas station.

Enjoying up the weekend in this summer season is a little bit difficult, but the roads, lighting, beautiful arab faces and, with the music of your choice you could easily forget the temperature outside. It was our first trip so we took a long route, we stopped at every one or two gas station, enjoying up the sandwiches and drinks and moving on to our destination. Believe me the way points were so helpful that we didn't missed a single turn. It was wonderful weather and, we were passing interchanges over interchanges, giving way to other vehicles, enjoying up the music and making fun.

At 4:30 we finally reach Fujairah, we went to sea shore, it was like moon was lighting up the whole sea, with clouds everywhere and waves making sound while hiting up the sea shore. Life looked like a romantic scene. One thing I liked the most during our way to Fujairah was the mountains on both side of the road looked like gigantic shadows, the roads were fully glimmed with the street lights, especially in the mountain areas. While we were moving to Fujairah the car started dumbling we were thinking that we had already crossed more then 200KM, how we can get back, but we decided to move further. Believe me it was just the trust on God that we finally reached Fujairah.

Something we missed was the camera, and we were unable to capture the nature, but our eyes were believing on all that. We both were amazed with the beauty in Fujairah, I was thinking if in this hot summer Fujairah has excellent weather then what would be in Winter.

We took an excellent breakfast and plan to get back, till 10:30 morning we safely reached our homes. I stayed at home while Adnan went to the motor garage so that next time we can go without any difficulty.

Well, Fujairah is still under contruction but well planned, you can find plenty of space to own a property for your reaminging life. And if you want to spend your weekend, Fujairah is on the beautiful places in UAE.

Cheers,

Oh my God! it was totally a hack for me to find out why my Visual Studio 2003 Enterprise Architect was not bothering me, i mean was not loading.

It was my PC everything was loaded successfully after running a fresh WinXp installation, and after having installed the VS.Net 2003 I was banging my head to wall, getting a strange message "Dte.olb could not be loaded, please re-run setup and repair your installation". I tried every thing to solve this mystery but my whole day was gone.

The very next day I search through my hard disk and I found it lying under the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv” folder. I tried on MSDN and found that Dte.olb is the COM object model for EnvDTE namespace and if not installed properly VS.Net never worked.

So registering Dte.olb using regsvr32 will solve the problem, one thing to keep in mind that regsvr32 might not recognize long file names so its better to run regsvr32 directly from the folder where Dte.olb resides.
