I heard a lot of good stuff about Signor Sassi, the newly opened restaurant, and last week I had a chance to go out with the family and we all had lunch there. It’s an italian restaurant, a franchise, brought over by Americana. This is not your typical Americana restaurant, actually when it comes to the food’s quality and taste, it’s as authentic as a n3al naydiya to elneyada know what I mean?

The Spa time is now open at the avenues phase II and it looks magnificent from the outside. It is unfortunately only for women. I’d love to have a spa open at one of the malls that would cater to men as well.

Thanks HBZ

I was sent this video by email. The video is about Maha AlGhunaim, and has some interesting interviews and an overall look into her life.

Thanks Fawaz

Yep it’s on and starting tomorrow. Many schools are starting tomorrow and the Banking sector’s timing has changed to 8 o’clock, just like the rest of the private sector, so beware. Be prepared and get out of home early.

This video was sent in by a reader. While the point of sending this video was to expose the people behind those foul doings, I was distracted by the guy behind the camera. Obviously the guy who shot the video had intended to spread it, so why didn’t he at least try to feign a nicer attitude?

Where does he come off treating people in such a demeaning way to prove his point?!

Thanks Karim for the video. While your intentions may be sincere, your way of treating those (who in a perfect world would be) innocent people is appalling. And I sincerely hope you’d restrain yourself and start acknowledge them as humans (on par with you and I) with rights to be recognized. There must be a better way of doing this.

From the same people behind the Oqsim campaign comes a new campaign targeting Kuwait’s obscure talent’s. Zawaya, which is a none profit organization, and “A group of 15 young people who came together to bring out the talents of youth in Kuwait”, are organizing a Mahrajan to celebrate those talents. “Its going to be one of the high scale events with many professional help.”. It’ll be held at the Avenues Mall on the 24,25,26th of september from 11:00am to 6:00pm.

I ordered one from amazon.com but I don’t know when I’m gonna receive it, especially since the Eid holiday is upon us and all. But then a couple of days ago I read in a comment that it’s available in Kuwait! so yeah.. I bought it.

The book is available at Virgin Marina mall, it’s for KD 9.5 and is only available in Hardcover.

Remember my previous post about Mohamed Sayrafi’s show? well today I was reading iLSuL6ana’s blog and found out that not only Mohamad Sayrafi is fabricating every thing even Scoop’s one is fabricated! Wallah 3aib.

We were discussing the swine flu topic today and someone raised this question: Why does Kuwait have this high percentage of swine flu cases compared to neighboring countries?

A Doctor was present and he had this to say:

“Take the number of cases discovered in Kuwait and compare it to the cases discovered at country X, and then take the number of deaths caused by the swine flu in Kuwait and again in country X, you’d find the that Kuwait’s percentage is much smaller than the other country’s. This tells us that in Kuwait we have more “reported” cases than other countries because we are more able, financially, to test and discover those cases, whereas in other countries they don’t bother to test each sick individual for swine flu.

And to add something, the numbers will double soon, but that’s not because the outbreak just got worse or bigger (That’s what Kuwaitis like to say at diwaniyas), but the truth is, it’s because a new lab dedicated to swine flu tests just opened, And naturally this new lab will report more cases as the amounts of tests increase.”

So don’t freak out just yet!

I was invited by friends the other day to go to Jaber stadium, to take pictures of the first match to take place there. Ofcourse it’s an unofficial match between friends, but nevertheless, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

The stadium is big and beautiful (I thought it would be bigger though), plenty of parking space and many gates to let the cars in, and many ticket kiosks scattered around the parking area. I think they did a good job avoiding future congestions.

The first Office Depot in Kuwait is now open at the avenues phase II near au bon pain and also near the soon to be opened Fantasy world.

Have you ever gone to work and found out that your mobile, watch or even civil ID at home? never mind with Mr. Delivery which was spotted by Abdullah can deliver your things whenever wherever you are. You just have to call them at 22 4949 44 and give them your home address and your current address and they will calculate the delivery price for you. I think its a good idea for those who forget there things easily like Yousef’s camera (alah yaster 3asa mansa shay el shemata mo zaina )

Thanks Abdullah

Our friend over at Circus designs sent the following pictures of the Freeze Club and the Bowl Room at 360 Mall. I think it’s a nice change that we have such facilities in the malls now.
