mehmas-died-of-heart-attack

AlQabas reported the other day that the cause of Mehmas’ didn’t commit suicide as reported by all of our media outlets, but of a myocardial infarction (heart attack). His son, Khaled, who was the first to enter the late actor’s home, denied earlier reports of a suicide and said that he found his father dead in his living room in a sitting position. The forensics’ report is going to be out soon, and according to Mr. Khaled, they’re going to prove that his father did not commit suicide.

Thanks Alf Laila

no-more-prontowash-in-mishref

We posted about ProntoWash in Mishref when they first started, and we liked the idea, but today HNM was at the co-op’s parking and there was no prontowash no more. It has been less than a year for them at Mishref, I just hope they continue in the other places.

Thanks HNM

the-new-salmiya-park_1

It will cost around 25 million KD and will be located in front of Souq AlSalmiya (the empty area where all the Hajj 7amlaas are there and the circus). It’ll also have football and basketball fields.

Thanks 9K2HN

 





Again this was one of our Bahrain trip stops. The exhibition is held in Moda Mall. Billboards and decorations outside the mall were all about the Om Kalthoom exhibition and the music inside the mall was all Om Kalthoom’s. The exhibition was surprisingly small and the items were very few (aside from her photos) considering all the signs and flyers we saw about the thing. However, to be there and seeing her stuff was worth it.

how-many-faces-you-can-figure-out

It says there are 11 human faces in this picture and the normal guy can figure out 5 of the 11 .. So how many you can get ? 🙂

 





We got an e-mail from Alf Laila where she kindly wrote a Dean & Deluca review for us to publish. Here is what she thought of the place:

“Wanting to try out the all too hip Dean and DeLuca cafĂ© in the Avenues my family and I went there for a light early dinner. While I’m impressed with their collection of caviar, honey and marinades, I have but one phrase regarding their cafĂ©: ALLA YZEED IL NI3MA. (May God increase our blessings).

Unfortunately I don’t recall the exact names of the orders and I do apologize for the poor quality of the photos as they were taken from my phone. My order was a goat cheese and avocado sandwich, both ingredients that I like. But, there was way too much of the goat-cheese-avocado mixture inside the sandwich and I had to leave some of it out. The picture shows what was leftover of my sandwich. One of us also ordered some sort of chicken sandwich and please do speak up if you’ve seen this 7araka before but I don’t recall ever going to a restaurant where they actually left lemon peel INSIDE a sandwich! Again refer to the picture. Last but not least, the pizza was not made of bread that was typical of pizza bread but rather it looked more like pita (Lebanese) bread and it kind of looked like hospital food because it was so thin. All in all the cafĂ© was a disappointment and we decided not to stay there for desert. I did decide to go again but I warned my cousin this time against eating there. We ordered two coffees and a muffin and when we finally asked for the bill we received a stack of maybe three or four bills stapled together and on top of them it said on a small piece of paper a price of a little over 14KD. I was astounded because there was no way a Chai Latte, a CafĂ© Au Lait, and a Blueberry muffin would cost that much! It turned out the register was broken. Our actual bill was for only KD 3. That, I can forgive because a broken register is an understandable glitch in the beginning of a restaurant’s operation. Also, in their defense I have to say that the waiters were polite and friendly and our waiter was very apologetic about the mistake in the bill.

What is going outside is unbelievable! Not because its orange outside and we’re coughing and have sand in our mouths, But coz we just had some showers some days ago! Dust particles shouldn’t be able to fly so freely after the rain! It goes against all the laws of physics..

On a side note: I was just informed that the sea ports are suspended and the ships aren’t going in nor out at the moment and till the sky calms down.

I went along with my friends to Bahrain this weekend. They planned a very quick getaway, just 1 night, we ended up having lots of fun and spending less than 23 hours in there… not even a full day in the country.

I found an intresting interview with Shaikh Abdullah Aljaber Alsabah .. telling us the meaning behind most of the Kuwaiti area names.

The above video is the first part of the interview and if your interested you can see also the secound part of it.

 





I think we’d live longer if we had rain once every 3 days in Kuwait*

So last week in the chalet I took some pictures of the flowers growing wildly right infront of our chalet and on the beach. The pictrues turned out nicely, imo, which got me thinking as I was editing the hell out of them.. What if it rained every 3 days in Kuwait for, say, 3 or 4 years.. what would happen? I think We’d live longer. But how?

I’ll tell you..

Soon there won’t be anymore afternoon shifts for all the banks in Kuwait. Based on the tabel above, the majority seems to be with the new timing, which i from 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM. and thats it.

Thanks Abdullah

UPDATE: They disapproved it, because  BKME doesn’t accept.

 





This is the guy I promised you guys to post about, His name is Abu Abdullah and he makes his living out of doing this home delivery kind of barbecuing. He brings all of his tools, meats and stuff and does the barbeque right infront of you.

His grills includes Reyash (lamb chops), Kabab, Sheesh 6awooq (the chicken in the picture), sho2af (tikka), and Arayes (the sandwich in the picture below. It is minced meat+onion+tomatos+cheese, all sandwiched and grilled together).
