Before i got married, my friend took me to this place, He was always trying to convince me to taste their ice creams, even if it just for one time. I went once and it sure wasnt the last  During melcha, me and my wife, used to end up at Ice Cream World every time we went out. Sijjj sij latheeeth !
The place is small from the inside and doesnt have any tables or chairs to sit on and eat inside. so just park ur car and the waiter will come out to u and take your order.
They have many many flavors and most of them r fruits’ flavors. They really taste like fruit! oh and they have ice cream without any sugar too! (Hamad you came to mind when i saw them). What i usually order:
1 mango scoop and 1 banana scoop
my thanks goes to INM for taking the pics and Ali for telling me about this place.

A week ago i upgraded my subscription to 7.2 Mbps and ive noticed that my download rate doesnt exceed 50kb/s with my Merlin XU870, turned out that my card just support up to 3.6Mbps. So i went to Zain branch yesterday and bought the Zain router.
Whats in the box:
- Zain Router.
- Charger.
- Ethernet cable.
- USB cable.
- Manual.
You can see it above its pretty small.
Now it gives me around 130 kb/s when downloading, i know its still not that fast for “7.2 mbps” bs emkafeny esara7aaa 
And for the price it cost me KD100.

Mishary was never a coffee fan, and I thought he won’t ever be, but i guess i was wrong.. Just the other day Mishary went (along with his wife, his brother and Me) and bought his first coffee machine. He bought a bigger machine than mine, it looks good and has some additional features. it also has a place to put the little coffee cups (or shots? what do they call them? liglasat liz’3ar malot ilgahwa!) and the machine keeps them warm too!
Here is a picture of the Machine
We went to the only branch in Kuwait, its located in SunCity in Shuwaikh (or 9un 9ity as some Kuwaitis like to pronounce it).. the branch is tiny but has a large variety of Machines and many accessories to go with them.
I was tempted to buy me some of the accessories like the capsules container (shown below)
The Nespresso employee was friendly and explained all about the machines and how to use them. He offered us some coffee samples and some chocolate afterwards (me and INM were very happy with the chocolates  )
Mishary also wanted to buy the Aeroccino (coz the machine doesn’t have it built-in… IMO it is better to use a separate froth-maker than the ones built in, coz not only they do a better job, they’re easier to clean as well). but the froth maker was out of stock, so the guy offered to deliver it once they have it back in stock (great service)

It was one interesting ride from Dubai to Kuwait! it took us 11.5 hours to enter the Kuwaiti borders. my friend INM and me got up yesterday at around 5:50am, we both took quick showers and headed out. we were on the highway on our way to abu dhabi by 7:15.
we reached UAE-Saudi borders by 11 o’clock. the guys at the border were very nice and friendly, we passed with no problems whatsoever.. we were very happy and relieved, and then the saudi border appeared…. I hate them! the way they talk, the way they look at you and the way they went through our bags. we were told to get the bags out and lay them on the bench. he looked in the car, opened every drawer and looked under everything, then took a look inside each one of our bags and then said something..
INM: here is the passport, you go, i’ll wait in the car.
Me: where? what did he say?
INM: he said he wants you to take a look at your laptop.
Me: Reallly? when? I didn’t hear him say that?
INM: no he did, he wants to take a look at your laptop.
I went there with my laptop and entered his office. 2 guys were in there, one sitting at a computer checking the passports and stuff and the other guy is sleeping. I said my Salam’s but nobody responded, so I said SALAM ALAIKOM! i woke up the sleeping beauty.. he took one look at me and left the room.. another guy came and started asking me questions:
Officer: open up the laptop & go to search….. (he was gazing at my screen like he’s never seen one before in his life)
Me: ok…
(1 minute went by and he’s just gazing with no expression on his face)
Me: you know this isn’t windows *pointing to the screen*.. this is Macintosh..
Officer: yes yes i know.. this is not windows.. this is VISTA! i know..
(STUPID STUPID!!)
Me: no this is something else.. not windows… not Vista…..
Officer:……………….. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Officer: ok now tell me, what do you have in there?
Me: music, movies, some college projects…
Officer: no no lets be honest here, just tell me whats in there..
Me: as I said, i have music, lots of music files and some college related…
Officer: i want you to be honest
Me: I am being honest.. you won’t find what you’re looking for in my laptop
(he gave an awkward smile)
Officer: yakhoy latwakhethna a7na ma6loob minnnah ina infatesh.. bla bla bla
Me: no its ok, you’re doing your job.
Officer: you know what, just stay here for a while and then leave, lets pretend that I went through your laptop, but just don’t tell anybody.
Me: ok, sure, i won’t….. (we’ll see about that )
We entered Saudi Arabia and INM took over the wheel. we were expecting to get bored and exhausted but that didn’t happen (we slept like dead people when we got home  ) but when were on the highway we were mostly happy.
INM didn’t want to eat anywhere (he is a bit picky… just a tiny bit), and i wanted to experience the cheap food.. you know the kind of food you eat when you’re with traveling with your friends.. the grilled chicken and saltless rice? those kind of nice cheap food? I wasn’t about to give up this part of the adventure! so we stopped at one of the restaurant that had “stomach ache” plastered all over it… 15 minutes later we were back on the highway and this time i’m back on the wheel.
2 hours later we were here
30 minutes later we were here
we reached kuwait just as the sun disappeared.. it was a very nice trip. thanks INM

SPOILERS AHEAD
The movie’s title was “The Golden Age”, a thing we never saw throughout the entire movie, there was no golden age in that movie. the whole freedom and prosperity were enjoyed after we left the theater, coz it ended when england prevailed. all we saw was the terror. the terror of a catholic king, trying to force the nations around him to submit to Christianity as He knew it, claiming its God’s will. see here is where the new (more efficient) form of terrorism first came to the scene IMO. not individual terrorist, not a group of people, But a whole nation of terrorists! killing and invading countries with the excuse of following God orders (more like following the nations’ interest imo). in the old age it was about whatever threatens Catholicism, and now its about what threatens certain nations’ national security… History repeats itself.. I guess..
Anyway! King philip of spain, a real catholic, wants to invade England and restore christianity in its most pure form. he’s doing so by plotting a very evil plan of letting Queen elizabeth execute Queen Mary of Scots (Mary Stewart) and by doing so, he’d find an excuse to invade and kill Q.Elizabeth. Mary was, according to the movie, writing secret letters to help plot the assassination of Queen Elizabeth. the letters were intercepted by Queen Elizabeth’s people and were eventually used against Mary, which ultimately led to a swift trial that ended with the beheading of Mary. And the war began.
overall I liked the movie and recommend it. I generally like movies that have historic events (I like them less if there were lots of killings), Cate blanchett did an oscar worthy job. She was nominated for an oscar in 1998 for the same part (this movie is a sequel, in case you don’t know).

We went, me and loco, to an egyptian restaurant, Grand Abu Shaqra. its my first time in Dubai’s branch, I went many times with my family and friends to Egypt’s branch. I liked it back then and I was curious as to how good its gonna be in Dubai. I remember loving their béchamel sauce.
We ordered many things.. loco ordered lentil soup (he always order soup for starters.. i7ib i7is inahwa birmothan). we shared makarona bil béchamel (which was amazing!). and then we ordered the main dishes 2 white rice (shown above) and 2 tajins, molokhiya and bamya.
We liked it there (loco not so much). I liked the atmosphere (we sat out) and I liked the service. I would definitely go back there again

I loved using torrents when I first knew how to use them. but with time it got harder to find the files i want, especially with my service provider (Etisalat) blocking every useful website out there (they blocked flickr. the reason? still unknown!). But now with the new Xtorrent, I can search for the files without looking for any torrent’s site, it has a built in search engine to find the best possible torrents. I just launch Xtorrent, type in the file I want and I’m done!
Search Everywhere,
Easily Xtorrent is all about search. Type keywords in and the results show up right in Xtorrent. One click later and you’re downloading your content. It’s ridiculously easy… and it’s only in Xtorrent.

We started a bit late. My cousin was going to meet our friends (they’re here in Dubai for the weekend) they were going to the shooting range. the last time we went there we had so much fun, but I didn’t feel like going this time. I’m not sure why… so me and loco went to city center, just to waste sometime until its time to have dinner with all the rest. BUT before that, we knew we could not wait without something in our stomachs so we had a little TASBEERA from Arby’s.
I found Mario Galaxy for Nintendo Wii in Virgin megastore. I was so tempted to buy it, but I don’t have my Wii with me.. I left it in Kuwait..
And then after some surfing around the shops there, we went to Gap, it was fully stocked! better than Kuwait’s branch! aside from the Mens and Women sections it had kids section, baby’s section and infant’s section (not sure whats the difference between baby and infant). I liked it there, I found many things I could use this winter. but since its still autumn/summer in here, I decided not to buy anything.
We finally met with our friends, we were 9 in total and went to The Market Cafe. its a buffet restaurant located in Grand Hyatt hotel in dubai. we go there often, we especially like it when its friday, they have the friday special.. (all you can eat and drink for 120 Dhs LOL!). its a very very good place with VERY good food.
The Salad section. there was a giant wooden bowl where they put the lettuce and whatever else you want in and add the sauces and what not so they can finally mix it and give it to you.
there are different sections for each type of food. there is the pasta section, indian section, Salads, Pizza, Grills, Arabic AND the dessert section. oh and I forgot the drinks section, they have plenty of drinks there, and they make it infront of you and you pick it up yourself.
you can choose what kind of sauce and meats you want and they’ll cook it for you.
The Dessert section. their cheese cake was one of the best (not yesterday’s)
Every dish in there is made specially for YOU. the steak is grilled to your taste so is everything else.
We had a great time.

Few days ago we heard from friends about a restaurant that specialized in breakfast “it served breakfast ONLY, all day from 9:00 am till 12:00am” that what we was told.
so we went to it at 5:30 pm ” “Yes this is our breakfast “.”
it is located in alseef”
So when you enter the restaurant you will face a GIANT menu placed in the wall.
You can see above the place was empty “only us was there” adreey betgoloon meno eroo7 ma63am bel 5.30pm ! But it looks small and tiny.
Finally, we sit and ordered 2 omelet eggs with cheese and cappuccino and the NEWS IS: They didnt serve any breakfast at this time ! 6ala3 ma63am 3ady ! o la feeh fekra wala shay ! men chethy fathy !

We want to upgrade our old “Dowwa” with new and large one so, Today we went to souq alsofafeer to buy one. My last visit was long time ago when i was in ebteda’e, i think with my father.
We were expecting the souq to be crowded with people but it was nearly empty.
The souq is actually divided into 6 or 7 garages which are parallel to each other, So we went ahead and begin asking for our dowwa and i noticed something strange that what ever i ask for in each shop the seller will NEVER say “i dont have this item” they always go and ask for it in other shops near them so the result will be the same for each shop “ya3ni mala da3ey edesh 3ala kel ma7al coz kel ma7al eyeeb men jara ely nagsa !” and all of them have the same source !
They even sells a wooden dowwa and u can customize it “3eshtaaaw”
Finally we bought our new dowwa and it gonna finish tomorrow “because it got some special features 3eshtaw CPU mo dowwa” and we bought 2 smalls 7asala for my brother in law kids

I pass by Qanat Al Qasba almost every day on my way to college. I think it was opened to the public in 2005, because I don’t remember seeing the big ferris wheel when I first came here (in late 2004). I’ve always wanted to take a look inside, something about the lighting and the way it looks from the outside made me curious to know what it’s like from the inside. I heard it was built as an oriental souk (but discovered later that it looks more like old oriental/european buildings). There is a little water canal splitting it in the middle. yeah and there were lots of cafes and restaurants on the sides of the canal.
I liked the place in general and especially liked the ferris wheel, it looked huge! it is said to be the biggest in the region. The place was calm with a very unusual atmosphere, it was quiet unlike anywhere else in Sharjah, And the people were mostly families.
My visit today wasn’t just for the sake of exploring something new. I was there so I can pick up my dinner from Nandos.
Nandos is a south african restaurant that specializes in… chicken. they’re famous for their spices and their extra hot recipes. The first time I got to eat at Nandos was around 2 years ago in Dubai and I hated it then. the second time was in Dubai too (same branch) and I didn’t like it much then either. But I’ve decided to give it another shot since everybody seems to praise it and have only good things to say about its food.
Unfortunately I hated it this time too But don’t take my word for it, you can try it out too, it opened it’s first branch in Kuwait, in the Avenues mall.
Sorry for the subpar pictures, I took many pictures but they were all ruined by the humidity!
For more information go to Qanat Al Qasba

Today being a weekend, Me and my friend decided to go out (actually it was more like my friend threatening to eat my brain if I didn’t go out today). so we went out, we struggled to choose a restaurant.. we were thinking The Noodle House? Chillis? maybe fudds? I don’t know how we ended up eating at mcdonalds lol
don’t judge me! yes I love me some mayo.. yes I order the upsize meal and no I don’t like salad!
after that we went to get some stuff done. you know how the nice relatives always like to buy something in dubai, and make us go out and buy it for them… well today was my mother’s turn, she wanted some things from Harvey Nichols.. after going around in there for half an hour.. we found what she was looking for in the store next door, debenhams..
when we were in harvey nichols I thought I’d take some pictures of their Home section.
Ralph Lauren. this is my dream bedroom!
and here you’ll find versace having identity crisis, apparently they think they’re Armani or something.
and here you can see Calvin Klein.. yeah right! like I’d pay thousands of $$$ just to sleep on the floor like that!
Fendi, the bed was even uglier in reality!

Dubai’s Dragon Mart, its 1.2 km long which makes it the largest trading hub for products from China outside the Chinese main land has already attracted huge numbers of visitors since opening its doors on December 7th 2004.
You can find everything you want and need in there. the things you find in there can be used to literally build a house and fill it up with all sorts of furniture and electronics.
Anyway, we love going to Dragon Mart because we never know what to expect next! there are always new and interesting things to be seen! for example, the last time I went there, I went with my old roommate (HI flan!!) and we bought us some tiny helicopters. they’re addictive! my other friend (INM ) bought a bag, a tiny tree and some other things (I forgot what else, wila chan fetha7ta!)
the prices are very competitive and the quality is great! (considering the price you’re paying ) anyway, here are some pictures of some of the weird products that can be found there. thanks goes to loco for providing the photos.
