Fantasy World in Shuwaikh

25 05 2008

Posted By Yousef

When I was looking for a gift for my nephew I really had to go everywhere! There is nothing much you can buy for 1 year old boy if you don’t want to buy him clothes.

I tried many places, I went to Khalid bin ilwaleed street, I remember I enjoyed going there when I was young, but I found nothing! I also went to Waleed (ma7al waleed) shop and I think that shop needs some serious revamp.

I went everywhere, including this Fantasy world shop but couldn’t really find a toy that made me go “THIS IS THE TOY!” they all looked ehh and so so.

One thing caught my eye and stayed with me was this little train, and although it is not made for a one year old to play with it alone, but atleast He could enjoy it with a parent’s help until he’s a bit older.

If you’re looking for toys, I think this place is one of the best in Kuwait. They have many things for different age groups. There are even things fro grownups, like the pool and board games. auto freaks may also enjoy Fantasy World’s collection of miniature cars. I personally liked how they had some thing for everyone. Ofcourse you’re always better off buying online, but if you’re buying a heavy gift, like the one i bought, then you wouldn’t want to pay the gift’s worth on shipping.

The one I went to, which I think is the biggest branch, is located in Shuwaikh, on Alghazali street, across the street from Electrozan and near the fourth ring road. They have other branches in Soug Sharg & AlBustan Mall.

This whole thing made me realize how fortunate we were to grow up in a time when we could always find the prefect toy in Kids ‘r’ Us in Salmiya. *1..2..3.. group sigh*

56 in all the blue boxes

9 05 2008

Posted By Yousef

Can you solve it?

you’ll be given the numbers: 3,7,15 and 31. You should arrange them in a way so that all the blue boxes have the #56 as a result.

I did it in less than 10 minutes (I spent over 15 minutes searching for cheats with no luck, then I started ). They’re saying it should be solved in less than 5. :P

Mario Kart Arrived From NY

8 05 2008

Posted By Mishary.

Yes, it arrived yesterday with the wheel too! what can i say?! Hmmm.. I have been a fan of Mario Kart ever since it first came out. Before this game came out, the best one, hands down was Mario Kart 64. This game takes the Game Cube version, improves it, and adds all of the elements that made the game famous in the first place.

The wheel is a great toss in, and is fun to play with, and the response is much more accurate than expected. Even better is that you can go online and play different people from around the world in versus mode or battle mode. This is so much fun when you don’t have someone you can play with at home… all you have to do is go online and you can play whoever you want. If you have a friend that has a Wii you can add their friend code and race each other too.

My Score:
Graphics - 4.5
Audio - 5
Replay - 5
Fun - 5
Controls - 5

Overall 5/5 (its a must for a wii owner!)

My Nephew-In-Law’s Birthday

10 04 2008

Posted By Mishary.

Yesterday my Nephew-in-law’s celebrated his 2nd birthday. We bought him a gift, but we can never give a birthday present to just one of the kids! We always make sure not to let the other kids just watch and leave empty handed, so the nieces got gifts as well! (one of the nieces is very vocal. We’re afraid of getting on her bad side). :P
Yousef’s Nephew was there too! He cried a lot at first, But once he got to know the faces, he went back to normal and enjoyed his time there. :)

In each birthday my wife takes the mission from A-Z! she decided to choose the colours, boxes and even the toys herfself! and as always she accomplished it.

Since the kids are ALWAYS watching cartoons in the living room TV we decided this time to give each one his/her own mini TV plus DVD player which is available HERE, So that their parent can charge them and they are able to play a full movie “2.5 - 3 hrs” in a single charge!

Now when it comes to wraping, My wife LOVES this part! she’s a profissional in gift presentation “Mashalah”. 

Don’t they look great! :D
