Starbucks’ Christmas special is back. I tried it last year for the first time and I really liked it.. oh and I just love the thing they sprinkle on top. Extra sprinkles for me. Always extra sprinkles for me!

We’ve completed our first year in the blogosphere. It’s been an extraordinary year for Me and Mishary. We’d love to thank you all for the love and support.

We wanted to make some changes to the theme for this occasion, but that proved to be impossible since me and Mishary we both suck at designs and graphics.. But thanks to Ahmad, we managed to do a tiny beautiful change. We changed the background color to black. I thought that was a nice facelift (If you can’t see it, then you should hold the shift key and click refresh). I hope you all like it, coz to be honest, thats the only change you’re going to see for a loong time

We’ve also added Ad spaces on the right. If you want to place your ad in one of the boxes feel free to contact us.

Again, thank you guys for this past amazing year. We appreciate all the help we’ve been getting from all of you guys. We really do.

The branch between AlFanar mall and AlBustan mall has car service now. Rejoice!

Thanks loco.

If you’re looking for a job or a new one, I think you should have a look there. Today is the last day for the job fair. I went the day before yesterday and submitted my CV to almost all of the companies there. I know I should’ve posted this earlier but I forgot. It’s in Alraya ballroom near Alraya mall and Marriott Courtyard.

Wish me luck.

Thanks loco.

Aϊshti’s Aizone to open it’s first branch in Kuwait soon in Avenues phase II.

DHL sent me a package the other day telling about their improved service. They sent a brochure and a form to fill and sign. It’s not really a brand new service but more like a revamped @Home service and they’ve changed the name to Easy Shop.

The positive changes they’ve made to their service are:

1-Internet tracking.
2-Shipment leaves within 24 hours from it’s arrival to your US mailbox and you’ll get notified twice via sms and email. Once when it leave and once again when it arrive.
3-4 days transit period.
4- Concierge service.

And there is one big change they’ve done and is, in my opinion, a very big mistake:

They won’t deliver to our homes any more. We pick a service point (they have 4 points all over Kuwait) and we go ourselves to collect the packages.

If you want to learn more about this service then you should read This post and This one too.

My friend was in Avenues phase II and took the picture above. He said it looked like another big food court is about to be opened in phase II.

Thanks HKR

Viva’s located near fono’s.

Thanks loco.

We posted about this back in april. It was reported then that they’d open the Alraya branch in July.

Thanks loco.

My friend Talal who is a student in Dubai just wrote us saying there is a big issue going on with all the Kuwaiti credit cards (Visa, Master, and even Visa electron) that’s been used in Dubai within the last 6 months. He said they’re suspending all the cards and issuing new ones due to recent theft incidents.

He also said that NBK is going to send him his card via DHL, and that if someone who’s in dubai and in desperate need for cash, they can lift the block on his card just temporarily in order for him to withdraw some money and then block it again right away.

Did you guys know about this thing? I didn’t. All I know is that they’re replacing all of their cards with new ones with a chip in them. Sort of an update and not something serious.

Thanks Talal.

Update:
I just spoke with someone from NBK and he confirmed that there have been many pretty big hacks and theft incidents on credit & debit cards used in Dubai in the past 6 months. And it’s happening with all the other banks too, not just the NBK.
