Spotted at Fantasy World for KD12.950. Perfect for those late night munchies.

I’m moving back to the old branch I used to work in  since I joined the bank. But I’m moving up to a higher post and grade which will make me pursue my career objectives. Wish me luck my friends

This lovely picture can only mean one thing… the weekend is upon us! Why is it that we always seem to have lousy weather on weekends? Sub7an Allah
If we assumed the weather will be like this all weekend, how would you spend your time?

Just a reminder, the Kuwait International Rally starts today at 3PM in the parking lot near the Kuwait Towers (picture above). For more details check out my previous post [Here]

I was surprised again today by my close friends with a cake and gifts too…how lovely to be surrounded by friends who really care about friendship….i love you all :*

Kuwait’s national football team just qualified to the Asian cup finals finishing second in the group qualifiers stage after drawing with Oman.

I spotted this at the Free Trade Zone today and thought the name was very 90’s internet cafe like. The place was a shisha joint strangely…

I read about this incident a few days ago. Seems the married British ambassador at the local embassy got one of his employees pregnant and that employee was also married. Lots of soap opera drama but it seems now its over since they’ve moved the British ambassador out of Kuwait and the employee moved […]

So I finally got the chance to try The Meat Co. – Kuwait earlier last month

As I read Kuwait’s daily newspapers or hear of what’s going on in Kuwait, I feel like people are getting more uncivilized as time progresses. Why am I coming to such a conclusion? Here are my observations:
1) A 12 year old kid stabbed his friend yesterday over a football match
2) A murderer killed a foreigner […]

Woooo HOOOO, Qatar, for not depending on a non-renewable energy source, but continuing to develop strategies for survival into the future. And Qatar definitely has an abundance of solar power. But then again – so does Kuwait.

I saw this at Soor/Alpha petrol station but they did not say more about it. I like the fact of utilizing civil id for such simple transactions.

Happy Independence and Liberation day for Kuwait and it’s people. I hope the foam was not that much….:P

The headline is taken from an Arab Times article. I had previously read that one person had died because of the celebrations but it seems the actual number is eleven. That’s really terrible… [Link]

I’ve been visiting Bayan Dental for over 5 years now. I first found out about them from Zaydoun and ever since me and Nat have been getting all our dental work done there at their Salmiya branch. They were actually featured in my Miskan project back in 2005 as Day 303 which is where the […]

As we all heard, there were many bomb threats made recently including the one on the Philippines Embassy in Kuwait. The person responsible for these bomb threats, Orlando Turner, admitted to these hoax phone calls in an exclusive Al-Watan interview. The reason why he made all these bomb threats was that he was seeking the […]

A couple of my friends and I were trying to figure out why we were friends. What goes into making friendships? One thing that surprised us was that we tended to choose people with some risk-taking behaviors – people who look ‘normal’ and conservative on the outside, but are thinking outside-the-box on the inside. They […]

Police officer Ahmad Husain Mutlaq Al-Azmi passed away yesterday after his police-bike flipped on Al-Seef Palace roundabout. The accident was caused by an empty foam canister thrown in the street. May God have mercy on his soul.

Yesterday a skyscraper in Kuwait City caught on fire at around 3PM. Judging by the video it seems the short building to the right of the skyscraper caught fire first and that contributed to the skyscraper catching fire. [YouTube]

I loved their signs of festivities

Oh and they have Fannie May’s Pixes in their store now

Wishing all my Kuwait friends all the blessings of liberty, and independence.

I always remember February in Kuwait as being one of the nicest months of the year – so how is it this year? My friends in Doha tell me they are having a heat wave!

Here are two videos I found on YouTube, one was shot from the bridge at Marina Mall the other in Bnaider.

On February 25th, 1961, Kuwait finally gained its independence from being a British Protectorate after years of negotiations and diplomacy with Britain. On February 26th, 1991, Kuwait was liberated from a brutal invasion and occupation by Iraqi armed forces. The results of the war was more than 1,000 martyrs and more than 600 P.O.Ws who […]

Although this year I’ve noticed a lot more cops on the roads than the previous years, I don’t think its making much of a difference. Gulf Road is still jam packed and the inside roads parallel to the Gulf Road (like Baghdad Street) are also packed.

Not quite the way it turned out. When we got here, the grandbaby was 11 days overdue. We got […]
