Surprise Weekend !!

Yes. This weekend was a very peculiar one..
I did not have any plans to go to Dubai this weekend because I was there for 5 days last week. Also, my roommates were murmering that it has been long time since I went for shopping for the room. So I was prepared to stay in Abu Dhabi this weekend. So, I stayed a bit late in office this thursday and reached room an hour late from my usual thursdays.
I gave a missed call to my home number, as usual to notify my mom that am going home..... My mom gave me a call back. I thought this was her usual reply missed call for mine, but this missed call was ringing for a long time. Puzzled, I answered the call. My mom asked me when I am starting. Again puzzled, I told her that I am not coming this weekend. I had told her before too. My mom asked me to come but I was not in the mood to go as I was not prepared. Already I was late and if I start now, with Dubai traffic, I will reach home very very late.
I reached my room and started having my lunch. In the midway I got another call. My mom called me again and she insisted me to come to Dubai. This time my elder sister also asked me to come.
Confused and frightened, I agreed, finished my lunch, cleaned the utensils, packed my dirty clothes (for washing) and walked fast to the Taxi Stand to catch the Bus. (Quite ironical)
Luckily, there were two buses standing, one just got full when I went. So, I got into the second bus with my mind full of queries.
The Bus took its journey to Dubai and I took my Journey to my dreamland. Yes, I fell asleep. Suddenly, the shout of the driver woke me up. " Jebel Ali, Jebel Ali.. Come fast". I wiped my eyes and found that the Bus has reached Jebel Ali. I looked at my watch and it was One hour since I boarded the Bus. "Another one hour to reach Trade Center", I thought and went back to my Dreamland . Suddenly my phone rang. It would have just been half an hour since I slept. I confirmed with my watch. I answered the call. It was again my Mom.

Mom: " where have you reached?"
Me: " Sheikh Zayed Road"
Mom:"Ok, give us a ring when you reach Trade Center".
Me: "Ok".
I was about to hung the phone. I just peeped out of the window and shouted..
"Helloooo Ma, am near Trade Center".

I wiped my face and started peeping through the window and thought, " when will Dubai become construction-free?" Slowly and steadily, the Bus reached Bur Dubai Bus stand. I looked at my watch. Surprisingly, I reached in Two and Half hours!!! Normally it takes me around 4 hours.
I was waiting for my Dad to pick me up. My Dad came after half an hour and in another half an hour, surprisingly, I reached my home.

Two days passed by, and today, its time for me to go back to my crow's nest. I think even Crow's nest will be bit spacious. I reached Bur Dubai Bus station, thinking about the loooong queue. Again, another surprise was waiting for me. I was searching for the queue and there was None! And there were two buses waiting to go to Abu Dhabi. The first bus was almost full. I thought I won't get a seat, but just stood near the door waiting for the second Bus. The Driver called me in and gave the ticket. I was searching for a seat and thought the Driver made a mistake in counting.... All the seats seemed to be full. The guy who was walking in front of me stopped halfway through. I went till the last seat and Yes, I found one vacant seat.
It is on this seat that I am typing this blognote, travelling to Abu Dhabi ...

This weekend was really full of surprises for me.
