We received an email from the owner of Wok Master some time ago to try out the restaurant, and we kept postponing it till we finally decided to give it a try yesterday. Me, Mishary and INM tried so hard to find the place! We went up and down the street twice and had to call them once and then finally found it by accident.

It’s funny how every time we play volleyball someone gets hurt one time we rushed a friend to a hospital and last week another friend somehow hurt his thigh and even moi who played for less than an hour, my neck was hurting and only stopped hurting yesterday. Didn’t know Volleyball could be this dangerous.

We went back to ALThuba3iya Runway and saw some pretty neat 3D action. I think it is called 3D because the plane floats in the air, suspended, and feels like there is a little invisible thread keeping it up in the air. Or they call 3D for a completely different reason. I don’t really know.

We went this time without Yousef. We used to go with him almost every year since 1998. He didn’t want to go because we were going early in the morning and returning the same day at night. He wanted to stay atleast for a night. I don’t know why He doesn’t enjoy the exhibition.

We were 16 and then we were joined in Bahrain by Weld el-ma6aba. 17 chaotic guys. Very unorganized trip which made the whole thing that much better. I loved not knowing where we were going.

We’re on our way to Bahrain. We’re a group of 16 in 5 cars about to leave Kuwait and into Saudi right now. We’re going there for the weekend and to attend a friend’s wedding in Alkhubar, which is 30 minutes away from the hotel.

Our friend got his neck hurt while playing volleyball in the chalet and we rushed him to Al Adan hospital.

The whole Adan experience was a sad one. I went in expecting the worst kind of doctors with the worst attitudes. I expected to have a bad experience as a result of incompetent staff. But that wasn’t the case.. that wasn’t the case at all. The doctors were doing their jobs to the best of their abilities and the nurses were running around to help as much as they could. I’m not going to talk about the receptionists because, simply, they do not qualify as human beings (inshallah ma3ashat’hom zaqqoom bichbood’hom) so i won’t mention them (again).

The one thing that was bringing the whole thing down.. the one thing that was wrong with the hospital (aside from the building itself) was the people. The patients and their families. As soon as we were by the doctor’s door the shoving and cutting inline started. We saw our number flash on the screen and went to the doctor to find a whole other family entering before us and taking our turn. And when they came out, another women wanted to cut inline and even had the nerve to feel offended when we refused to let her go in before we do.

When we were in the doctor’s office and our friend being diagnosed, there was atleast 5 attempts to open the door. The nurse had to lock the door.

There are always people complaining about the doctors in Kuwait and how they’re not doing their job. How they get misdiagnosed and stuff.. But now I know, in my opinion, the main cause behind such complaints.

The Kuwaiti people need to take lessons and be parented all over again before we are let out on the streets. We should go to some sort of a facility with courses where they teach us how to respect our own boundaries.. and then a whole set of other courses to teach us all about other people’s rights. How do you expect the doctor to give you a fair treatment when the nurse has to block the door by force as to not let other people in while you’re being diagnosed? How do you expect to get the doctor’s full attention when there is some idiot outside the door banging like a maniac wanting in? What goes through YOUR mind when YOU cut inline??

I think the state of Kuwait’s hospitals perfectly fits the state of it’s People’s mentality.

We went today to the Men Time spa in Almuhallab mall, Me, Mishary and my 2 cousins. We booked an appointment for 4 people almost a week ahead. The spa is much smaller than the spa I reviewed last week (The Day Spa) and a step down in almost every way.

Did you notice how the weather changed yesterday? It wasn’t gradual. It went from dusty and zift to CHAK BOM cold!

We stayed outside yesterday for the most part. We’re in the chalet so its nice to stay out for a change, We even did some barbecuing and did not get suicidal afterwards. We grilled some burgers and sausages and then took a carpet along with a potful of tea on coal (chay dowwa) and stayed out for awhile to enjoy the weather. It was 21° in Alzour. Was it as cold in the city?

Does this mean it’s finally changing? *anti jinx!* a cold autumn for a change?

I know its too Dubai, but I like the sticker. You can get one from the Canada Dry Street in ‘Shari3 Alzeena’. My friend told me he paid 1kd for both plates.

I wonder if it’ll become another fad.

At our last Ghabga my friend brought some sushi that are homemade. I didn’t know they were homemade till he told me so, and I can’t say I was surprised when he said they have a sushi business, coz they all looked very professionally done. Now I’m not a Sushi expert, I never went to a japanese restaurant (well maybe once or twice), but I liked them all. I especially liked the orange ones with the spicy crab sauce and sprinkles of brown garnish stuff.

My favorite cheesecakes are the Sheraton’s, Market cafe’s (Dubai) and KFC’s (I’m ashamed but its true). I was very interested in tasting choowy Goowy’s new cheesecake when I first read about it at Mark’s, and what a nice surprise it was when loco told me yesterday that he’s bringing one to the diwaniya’s ghabga.

I love cheesecakes and I like them plain, I don’t like cherry, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, whatever berry flavors on top. They overpower the cake and I end up tasting nothing but the berriness of the sauce! So when it comes to those sort of recipes, where the flavors are subtle, they can be easily butchered, and more often than not they are butchered beyond recognition.

The newyorker did not exceed my expectations, it met them, which is absolutely great for a first time. Thick texture, hard enough crust, and straight up mmmm-worthy overall taste. (I would’ve preferred an extra drop or two of lemon while in the making).

I did not appreciate the nutty flavored crust and did not know what was between the crust and the cake, But I’ve been told that we can easily choose our own crusts so this, thankfully, won’t be a problem in the future.

The packaging and portion. The package was simple, they’re going to be done with their new package designs soon (read it on Choowies blog) and it will look nicer. The cake was cut to 8 pieces. It could’ve easily been cut to 10, but thats ok, 8 bigger pieces are totally fine by me.

It is now only second place on my favorite cheesecake’s list; the Sheraton’s is still a bit better.

The cheesecake was a winner. They did a good job with the recipe.

We had a Ghabga* at the Diwaniya yesterday. We took pictures of the whole thing. My brother got carried away with the camera and now i have over 350 pictures of every person of the 60+ who were there. When it was time to arrange the buffet I thought I should take as many pictures as possible, you know, good blogging material… But this time I really don’t know what was wrong with me, every picture turned out blurry and couldn’t find any nice drool-worthy ones. Yeah, so anyway, the picture above is of my dish

They called him and informed him that he won! He won a discount card and should come to claim his prize. He went and sat through an hour of questioning, which was the only thing he had to do in order to get that discount card. After answering the questions for an hour, they told him that his card should be ready in 3 days.

He’s been calling them for 3 weeks now, they’re either ignoring his calls, promise to call back and never do or put him on hold and never return. They scammed him. And you know whats funny? They just called him on his other mobile number, and without knowing it was him, told him that he just won a prize and should come by!

I’m new to the non alcoholic beers (malts) world, Ali was recommending and insisting on drinking this HOLSTEN (grenadine flavor) So my first try was couple of days ago and once i have drank it esara7a i couldn’t resist it! its SO DELESIOUS! it remind me of Shani.

My question is, Since im new in this world any of you guys have tried anything better? Can anyone recomend any other brand?

P.S.: i took these pictures with my mini studio.

Happy Birthday Mishary! 3o2bal 10² sina!
