I heard of Bossaball and posted about it, but never tried it. I thought it should be fun and easy since it’s all about jumping on a big inflated volleyball court. Well I was partially right, it was fun, but easy? well not really.

We rented coz we knew we were going to spend the whole weekend plus the 25-26th vacation in chalet, so we all pitched in and got the Bossaball for the chalet. They deliver it and assembled it. You don’t do much (and if you’re taking pictures of them working then you’re guaranteed a minimum amount of work).

The first time I tried it I was exhausted after only 10 mins of jumping. I got used to it eventually and was able to play for an hour and so, but it is very exhausting. It was fun though, we all enjoyed it and played it almost everyday of the vacation.

The Bossaball can was rented for KD250 a day. I think it’s expensive too, but according to the renter, it’s of high quality and doesn’t cause allergies and stuff, and they are flexible when it comes to the timing. They also rent and sell inflatable slides and castles and Human size foosball.

The car and the crane was big and we had to use our neighbors chalet to get it to the beach. So if you’re thinking about renting it make sure you got the space.

^I thought, at that point, that it was huge. I didn’t know it was only it’s half!

^Almost ready.

^And ofcourse, as is the case with every bunch of friends I’m sure, there is always those who are only good at “supervising”

This is was our location in Al Somman, It is 3 hours from the Kuwaiti borders and it was chosen and arranged for by our great friend Mishary (a different Mishary). They have professional people in Saudi who get paid to take care of everything (They bring the tents, rugs, dig a toilet *Yikes!*, and you know, make it happen). The trip was from wednesday (I went on a thursday coz I couldn’t take a day off work) to saturday. It was worth it and we had plenty of fun. Take a look at the pictures and compliment me on my amazing eye and photographic skills *sarcasm*

First thing you do if you wanna keep your friends, you go and wash up. This scene to some of you may seem icky, but to me it was fun, brushing my teeth like that and wondering how the hell I’m gonna use the toilet if I think THIS is hard. Yeah priceless.

Then You go to the toilet to… you know.. but before you do, you go and ask a nice friend of yours how to “manage” going in and out without creating a mess. That friend was ½ cream milk. I asked him and he showed me how to fill up the toilet with water from the tank, how to fill up the 2 buckets and keep them near you in case you needed more water. And for a moment there, I thought of skipping this whole toilet thing and just hold on till I get back to Kuwait.. but yeah.. I couldn’t. But I came out of there triumphant!  :P

^Coffee and tea for breakfast, before the real breakfast arrives. The weather was cold and kinda windy.

This hill was the play ground for my friends and their cars.

Keeping your mouth busy makes you forget the sands gritting away inside your mouth.

^That was part of our dinner. We made a muchboos laham. 2 full sheeps (tyos) some were cooked the Kuwaiti way, and some were wrapped in foil and thrown into the fire. The outcome was amazing, the meat melts in our mouths.

Kuwaitis can’t help but be patriotic when they’re away.

^Lots of activities going on at the same time

^This picture up here has a story:

We were told that there is a place with lots of greens and flowers maybe (faitha. esem faitha ithaher yay min fayathan. ya3ny elmokan fath min elmo6ar. stupid word). So we were given the coordinates, and 3 cars followed a single GPS to get there. 2 hours later we reached the place. The place had nothing special and was full of big rocks. It sucked. 2 hours of driving, 20-40KMPH, and nothing, no faitha no ba6eekh. We sat there, we tried our best to make the most of that place but ended up starting a little fire and having some tea. a total of 5 hour trip for something we could’ve easily done near the toilet’s tents!

The End!

We were in Al Somman a couple of weeks ago and one of my friends got his car stuck in the sand on top of a hill. We got bored up there, so Bo9ale7 went to the kitchen and brought this round thing and Skied. It went wrong every single time

^Going steady?

But it turns

And a flip

^Maybe he can do better?

But there is the turn

out of control

And the flip

But they keep on going back

^ ½ cream milk giving it a shot

Yeah it was a fun half an hour doing of nothing but that

Me and ½ cream milk were having dinner at Johnny Rockets in Salmiya. We were sitting on one of the tables next to the bar when we saw a lady coming in and start talking to a guy on the bar. We were pretty sure the guy did not know her, he was in a bit of an awkward position. We did not pay any attention and continued enjoying our rocket burgers… till we heard the word Blogger!

All of our senses came to life and we found ourselves trying so hard to eavesdrop you’d think somebody’s life depended on it!

Yeah turned out we were sitting next to Moey (Hi Moey)

We were in AlSeif Mall in Bahrain having breakfast and we saw a big cellophane sheet being put up across the main area of the mall, and people gathered around it to paint. We observed as old and young people started painting. My friend and I couldn’t wait to get our hands on some brushes, so we went there, grabbed a couple of brushes, chose the colors and started painting. I think we did a good job!

My friend ½ Cream Milk just told me that the Voluntary work center (photography center) are having their 9th exhibition at the avenues mall. I went last year and I enjoyed what I’ve seen. All the photos are taken by members of the center, and my friend contributed 4 of them. Not to be biased, all of their works are great, but I liked my friend’s work the most.

Make sure to pay a visit and see what they have to offer.

Where: In and the avenues phase II near Aïshti and Samsonite.

When: Open from 29th of december to 2nd of january.

Time: All the time.

We’re in Abdali since thursday and with time you grow tired of the usual activites. Having a camera in hand and an idea in mind can lead to flying friends.

Thanks HBZ & bo9ale7 for the poses.

Whenever anyone says “the weather is too good to be stuck at work” a certain memory pops into mind.

I was taking a course in Kuwait University one year, and it was a Wednesday. Back then Wednesdays ruled! Well on that day everything was especially glowing; the weather was changing…clouds were crowding the sky. Ah it was a perfect day for an outdoor brunch.

As I was walking to the class with my friend, another friend of ours joined us, and he spoke about how the weather was too good to be stuck in a class room. We all agreed and nodded along until we got to the class.

Three hours later, I was in a car with a bunch of other close friends and we headed to SAS to have brunch. I didn’t attend the rest of the classes that day and kicked the weekend off early. And on our way there we witnessed a car accident, the car turned over and crashed, lots of smoke and stuff, but we weren’t close enough and we continued our way to SAS. We spent a great time that weekend because of the lovely weather. That guy was right, the weather really was too good to be stuck in a classroom.

Come Saturday, a friend and I were walking to our class room, and we stopped at an announcement board to read what’s new. That’s when we saw that A4 paper with the bad news. Our friend who didn’t like being stuck in a class room on a cool weathered Wednesday skipped the rest of that day’s classes, just like I did, and he went to the gulf road instead, just like we did, and he, unlike us, had a car accident there. Passed away on the spot.

I can’t forget how eager and happy he was that it was finally the weekend. May God rest his soul and protect us all.

After going through many hotels on the net my brother decided on Hotel Chateau Frontenac. It was one of the more affordable ones and was close enough to the Champs Élysées. The hotel ended up being a very good choice. We needed a room with 3 beds coz we were 3, Me, my Brother, and Mr. ½ Cream Milk. So they gave us the junior suite, and we knew what a junior suite in a hotel in europe meant, it meant a room that fits 3 people (not fancy), nothing more and nothing less

^C’est Moi! and right in front of me there is a good cafe/restaurant. We had breakfast twice and a dinner once. And it’s right in front of the hotel.

We got to the room and we thought it looked nice. It was a bit old fashioned, but that’s because our room was in the old section of the hotel and not the renovated one.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, which is rare considering Paris’s other hotels. The hotel is also very close to the Champs Élysées, it’s 2 minutes away and is a 5 minutes walking distance from Avenue Montaigne. The location was perfect.

^Don’t mind goofy. The picture is taken from my friend’s blog, and he uses disney characters to cover the faces.

In short, if you’re looking for a nice cozy hotel that is close to the champs and top notch service, I recommend this 4 stars hotel.

Some of the pictures were taken from ½ Cream Milk’s post.
