my-nespresso.jpg

if you’re a coffee lover and you just can’t find the satisfaction in home made coffees, then this machine is for you! its easy to use and to set up, it requires no skills at all and it doesn’t make a mess! I got one of these (the smaller one) and I’m loving it. (don’t mind my huge mug lol :P I use big mugs coz ironically I hate espressos, but I love me some lattes so I just add more water and some milk)

capsules.jpg all you have to do is pick the little capsule, insert it into the machine and with a click of a button.. voila! not to mention you can choose from a very big collection of flavors too, every 10 capsules comes in a little packet (shown below)

o 3ad to top it all off.. when you run out of these little capsules, you can call up your local nespresso dealer in kuwait or wherever and order some more! free delivery too :D

Tree #4

My friend made it a habit to buy me a plant everytime he comes for a visit. I kinda grew to expect a plant everytime now.. :) the above picture is of plant #4.

I enjoyed his stay, I always do. this time in particular felt different, I didn’t spend as much time with him as I hoped for, I had to attend every class this week (well almost every class.. you know, too many absences, can’t risk getting an FA!).

we went to buddha bar yesterday, we didn’t have a reservation but we went there anyway just for a peek, to get an idea (bala’3at shaf). I can’t put down what I saw in words! it was amazing! the atmosphere was out of this world. dark, lounge music and great food! (we didn’t eat, but it looked and smelled GEWD!).

I just took him to the airport. I’m going to miss him. (hey INM if you’re reading this, where is the shampoo!!!!?)

My laptop is in a coma at the moment (since yesterday). it finally gave up. I’m gonna take it to an Apple shop to fix it.

I’m currently using my friend’s Macbook. I still can’t believe how he didn’t hesitate for second when I jokingly asked him to lend me his laptop! he said yes immediately…

all I wanna say now is, Thank You! Thanks a lot dear loco.

Note to loco: your screen is amazing!!!! (BAL!)

Raffles Hotel

We went to Asha’s today for dinner me and my friend. Dubai’s Asha’s is much better than Kuwait’s. You’ve got to try it out whenever you’re in dubai.

The picture on top is of Wafi’s new hotel, Raffles. it is shaped like a pyramid to go with the whole Egyptian feel of the mall and spa.

Here are some more infos on the hotel:

-the regular double-bed room costs 2500Dhs.
-11 restaurants are about to open. 2 already did.
-within walking distance from the mall and the spa.
-looks phenomenal!

 





I was in my apartment the other day watching tv. my computer was sitting peacefully on its own tray when I decided to lift the tray from the table and bring it close to my lap. thats when it happened… this is so hard to talk about *cries* my laptop slipped from the tray and fell… yes fell to the table!! and things aren’t the same ever since!

the computer at first was acting weird and producing some weird noises, then it froze for like 10 minutes and finally it stopped working and was like (………….), nothing, no sound no nothing. I tried restarting it but the cursor refused to move. so I pressed the power button until the screen went BLACK.

The next 3 hours were one of the worst hours in human history! the computer wouldn’t startup and whenever I manage to turn it on, a very tiny question mark would appear in the middle of the screen…. I kept restarting for 3 hours. no results. and just when I was about to give up, it sprung back to life. poor little computer. now it takes me a MINIMUM of 20-30 minutes to start it up after each shutdown (it won’t comeback after sleep-mode so I have to shut it down each time).

20-30 minutes for a start up! can you imagine that? looking at the symptoms, one can conclude that the laptop is suffering from a major memory lose and schizophrenia (faqad ithakera), it forgot what it is and now it thinks its a windows!

class

and I intend to miss the next class as well. I have an exam tomorrow.. got to study.

you know the feeling of missing a class? you know when there is something you’re not supposed to do, and you end up doing it anyway? I love that feeling! but I hate it when the night comes and I start to think “I missed a class today!”. oh well, I’m gonna enjoy it for now, coz at night I’m going to be busy studying for tomorrow’s exam.

Aramex

Is there anyone left who haven’t had a problem with Aramex? I assure you, there are NONE! Every person with the slightest interest in having their packages arrive on time, as promised, must’ve had a problem with this company. Either because of their below zift customer service or their nonexistent sense of time!

just 2 days ago, I received an email from them telling me they’re going to raise their rates here in the emirates too. First Kuwait now the emirates. I’ve never ever seen a company that thrives with bad feedbacks! And now they think they’re entitled for a raise??

Anyway, I was reading their email and one thing just made me real mad. Our goal at SHOP&SHIP is to provide the highest level of quality & customer service while offering the best shipping options available.

One thing led to another, and I ended up replying to them with the following:

your goal is not to provide the highest level of quality and customer service. the only thing you aspire to is to do a mediocre job and cash in on your temporary novelty!

I based my negative opinion because of the following:

1-You never delivered a package without calling me and taking my whole address all over again. each time there is a package, your guys call me and let me instruct them and give every detail about where I live. (you’d think they’d refer to their past delivery details. but I guess thats “Good enough” service for you).

2-Whenever there is a problem, I either wait a very long time on hold & transfers between your personnel, or there is absolutely no one in the shop and ship department.

3-One time you lost my package, I’ve waited a very long time for it to arrive with NO luck, finally I complained, and they told me to bring something to prove my purchase, and so I did. they compensated me eventually… then… around 3 months later, my lost package magically arrived!

4-And after all this, you email me saying you’re gonna raise your rates???? and you actually wrote in the email that your goal is highest quality and customer service?!?REALITY CHECK ASAP!!!

antibiotics.jpg

I had subway for dinner today. I ate 3 different 6″! chicken teriyaki, steak & cheese AND B.M.T. which stands for Best meat tatse! thats one hell of a misleading name for a sandwich, it was awful! after that I took my the last antibiotic capsule I have left…does this mean I should be feeling good and cured by now? not necessarily!

anyway, I had a very strong craving for some dessert right afterward! now the one thing that is known about my eating habits, is that I don’t like/care for dessert that much. but this time it was a bit weird! I was looking all around for some chocolates!

and look what I’ve found in the fridge!

leakage1.jpg

Blip..blip..blip..

Where is that sound coming from?!

after much searching and looking around I finally found the source of that annoying sound! the bathroom is leaking. and not any kind of leak, it was leaking from the ceiling! but wait there is more, the water is actually coming from the light bulb in the bathroom’s ceiling!

I called the doorman/janitor and told him about it. he said it must be coming from the A/C’s machine, which is located right above that ceiling. he told me he’s going to call the A/C’s company and that they’re going to be here first thing in the morning.
