My brother and his wife are here for the weekend. I went out with them and we had dinner in Segreto, an italian restaurant in souk madinat jumeirah. the food was great! the service was nice but they were slow with the courses. they had to offer free “courtesy of the Chef” samples just to keep us from eating their heads off.

today my brother called me and told that he forgot his credit card in the restaurant! and the state of emergency began! I called the the restaurant many times and they assured me that they haven’t received any lost credit card. I even talked to our waiter and he too said that he’s sure there were no credit cards in the lost and found and that we took the card for sure.

the calls were non stop between me, my brother and the restaurant.. but when my brother called me the last time, he started talking about how he never really put the card back in his wallet after paying.. and that he called the NBK and deactivated the card…. I was tracing back my thoughts as he was talking and thinking about the things we were doing while he was signing the bill..

i remember looking at his signature.. I was standing… we were ready to go.. but he was looking at the bill… i was looking at the credit card….. I picked up the card… the card is in my hands… i slipped the card in my pocket….

. . . YALALHAAWL!!!

Instinctively I rammed my hand in the pocket.. and there it was.. the card was in my pocket the whole time!

140 slides to be studied within 2 days. i studied them and on the day of the exam i forgot them all how nice! Thank God the exam was done with yesterday and I only have to live with the consoling fact that EVERYONE else in the exam did as bad or worse as I did

We never stood a chance! they were not available online, the tickets that is, and the next day they were sold out! high demand? or lots of people with influence are attending? not quiet sure yet.

But thanks to MSB, we now have learned that they’re extending the shows for 2 more days. hopefully we’ll get to buy our tickets this time!

Today when i was at work “my work in/out the office” i found this and i want to share it with you.

When i was coming back home i found these blocking my way !

I was waiting for them like 5-7 mins. I tried EVERY THING to make them leave with no success !

I felt like he was looking at me and saying like ” eshtabeee ?? morrrr” ! o kan ekhezny.

Finally they left me in peace.

Yesterday i’ve ordered an iPhone from apple.com “because still here in Kuwait the prices r so high” like before what i did for the last three iPhones which i’ve ordered a confirmation email sent to me telling me that my iPhone will be sent within 3 days “this is normal”.. the surprise is TODAY !! i got an email telling me what ?!?! here what i get:

Similar to what happened to Yousef. Today morning (my morning starts @ 12:00 pm) i put my break fast which is 2 Cheese sandwiches ((fa6ayer jeben)) into what suppose to be a MICROWAVE and i set it for 5 min. then i went to pray, After i finished praying here what i got:

My sandwiches got BURNED !

The sandwiches got STUCK to the plate and u can see what happen to the plate.

Now the question is:

Does the microwave usually break dishes ?? Because i’ve asked my mom about this issue and she told me this only happened in the oven not a microwave.

Here a picture of my microwave it looks like a normal microwave isnt it ?

Kids! don’t try this at home!

looks about right and ready for the oven..

getting started!

looks good! yummm..

Nooooooo!!!

oh well

I was hungry!

My laptop is in a coma at the moment (since yesterday). it finally gave up. I’m gonna take it to an Apple shop to fix it.

I’m currently using my friend’s Macbook. I still can’t believe how he didn’t hesitate for second when I jokingly asked him to lend me his laptop! he said yes immediately…

all I wanna say now is, Thank You! Thanks a lot dear loco.

Note to loco: your screen is amazing!!!! (BAL!)

I was in my apartment the other day watching tv. my computer was sitting peacefully on its own tray when I decided to lift the tray from the table and bring it close to my lap. thats when it happened… this is so hard to talk about *cries* my laptop slipped from the tray and fell… yes fell to the table!! and things aren’t the same ever since!

the computer at first was acting weird and producing some weird noises, then it froze for like 10 minutes and finally it stopped working and was like (………….), nothing, no sound no nothing. I tried restarting it but the cursor refused to move. so I pressed the power button until the screen went BLACK.

The next 3 hours were one of the worst hours in human history! the computer wouldn’t startup and whenever I manage to turn it on, a very tiny question mark would appear in the middle of the screen…. I kept restarting for 3 hours. no results. and just when I was about to give up, it sprung back to life. poor little computer. now it takes me a MINIMUM of 20-30 minutes to start it up after each shutdown (it won’t comeback after sleep-mode so I have to shut it down each time).

20-30 minutes for a start up! can you imagine that? looking at the symptoms, one can conclude that the laptop is suffering from a major memory lose and schizophrenia (faqad ithakera), it forgot what it is and now it thinks its a windows!

   
This is what Marvin had to say about the ongoing issue

Simple .. Look if your gasoline gage on the right then your car gasoline hole will be on the right wel3ax sa7ee7 ! BTW ana men el ashkhaaasely sij kent a3aneey !

UPDATE:

Here an actual picture of my car u can see at the bottom left there is an icon of gasoline and an arrow pointing to the left and YES its in the left.

We’ve been waiting for 7+ days now, and still no sign of us on that list… 

How much longer will it take!!!?

Is there anyone left who haven’t had a problem with Aramex? I assure you, there are NONE! Every person with the slightest interest in having their packages arrive on time, as promised, must’ve had a problem with this company. Either because of their below zift customer service or their nonexistent sense of time!

just 2 days ago, I received an email from them telling me they’re going to raise their rates here in the emirates too. First Kuwait now the emirates. I’ve never ever seen a company that thrives with bad feedbacks! And now they think they’re entitled for a raise??

Anyway, I was reading their email and one thing just made me real mad. Our goal at SHOP&SHIP is to provide the highest level of quality & customer service while offering the best shipping options available.

One thing led to another, and I ended up replying to them with the following:

your goal is not to provide the highest level of quality and customer service. the only thing you aspire to is to do a mediocre job and cash in on your temporary novelty!

I based my negative opinion because of the following:

1-You never delivered a package without calling me and taking my whole address all over again. each time there is a package, your guys call me and let me instruct them and give every detail about where I live. (you’d think they’d refer to their past delivery details. but I guess thats “Good enough” service for you).

2-Whenever there is a problem, I either wait a very long time on hold & transfers between your personnel, or there is absolutely no one in the shop and ship department.

3-One time you lost my package, I’ve waited a very long time for it to arrive with NO luck, finally I complained, and they told me to bring something to prove my purchase, and so I did. they compensated me eventually… then… around 3 months later, my lost package magically arrived!

4-And after all this, you email me saying you’re gonna raise your rates???? and you actually wrote in the email that your goal is highest quality and customer service?!?REALITY CHECK ASAP!!!

As i mentioned in Yousef’s last post that my car was hit by stranger ((7esbeyalah 3alaih !)). So today i was in the police station to get the requested paper to fix the company car legally.

The story begins here .. the police man ((elthab6)) send me to the ((elkhabeer el faney)) so he can analise the accident if it is done by some body else or me, the normal way is: that person must come to my car which was parked in front of the police station and examine the it. I stopped at his door and asked him to come with me to see my car (( i repeat again this is the NORMAL procedure )) what he asks me to do is to go to my car and take a picture with my mobile and send it to his mobile via bluetooth then he WILL DECIDE ! We were 3 at his office and every one of us went to his car and captured his car and came back again. kel hatha 3ayaaaaaaaaaaaaaz !!! wala 3aib.

Blip..blip..blip..

Where is that sound coming from?!

after much searching and looking around I finally found the source of that annoying sound! the bathroom is leaking. and not any kind of leak, it was leaking from the ceiling! but wait there is more, the water is actually coming from the light bulb in the bathroom’s ceiling!

I called the doorman/janitor and told him about it. he said it must be coming from the A/C’s machine, which is located right above that ceiling. he told me he’s going to call the A/C’s company and that they’re going to be here first thing in the morning.
