This strange bar of soap was apparently discovered in Russia. I can’t read Russian, but it translates to “the purest soap.” Somehow I doubt that this is a real product, probably something crafted by someone with a sense of humor. Either way, I wouldn’t mind having a bar of this sitting in my bathroom.

Here is a video of it:

Mishary Posted the other day about DHL’s @ Home Service. So, I went yesterday and signed up in DHL’s new service. They’re open from 9am till 6pm. I went around 2 o’clock and was greeted by the one and only, Ms Sarita (early members of Aramex’s shop and ship will know her very well). She was as friendly and as efficient as ever. She recognized me and said “you gained weight haven’t you?” at first I thought she was talking about herself so I replied “No! you look better than ever!” later I realized the comments was directed at me! err…

Ok, so She started by saying “I don’t want to over sell the service we have here, coz its really knew and we’re still working on lot of things.”

Pros:

1)You have Sarita working there.
2)Just like aramex it costs 2.5kd for the first 1/2 kilo and then 2kd for each additional 1/2 kilos.
3)The Mailbox is located in Illinois, so you can save lots on tax money (macbook pro’s tax is $240 if delivered to Aramex’s newyork address. and only $140 when delivered to illinois).
4)4 days delivery from the US to your address in Kuwait.
5)I like that its DHL. they’ve got to be worried about their reputation, so the chances of them screwing up are much less than the other services.
6)You have an optional 2% insurance. it covers the whole amount. so If you ever receive a damaged package, you can get your full money back. no matter how large the amount is.

Cons:
1)Its still a pretty new service, so there are lots of missing options (like tracking ur package) but She, Sarita, told me I can call her whenever I want to know the status of the shipment. and she’ll call whenever it arrives.
2)They charge on either, the package’s weight or its volume whichever is the highest. (a guy ordered light plane model and is being charged a big sum of money because of the size of the package).

I just love dealing with Sarita. thats why I think this new service is going to Rock!

PS. there is a one time 10kd fee when you sign up.

Yousef wrote about this McDonald’s new offering in his post around a week ago. Today i found out that it’s now available here in Mishref’s branch, so I decided to check it out and let you know more about it. It costs 400 fils/piece and just like Dubai’s, It comes with 3 different types of sauces: Garlic & Mayo sauce, Sweet Chili sauce And Barbecue sauce.

Now when it comes to how it tasted, let me just say that I expected it to taste something like their chicken nuggets, i mean something special atleast, But I was disappointed to say the least. Its just a regular chicken fillet without any special touches.

I give it 2 out of 5 It wasn’t special at all!

PayPal, darling of the Internet, has warned its users to steer clear of Apple’s Safari Web browser because it doesn’t support anti-phishing technologies. I think now Firefox is a MUST 😛

Yesterday Ali sent me these pictures and it shows that Al-Oula are now offering us the opportunity to look for and buy mobiles while we’re filling up our cars. Just like Mark said, I too hope to see mini markets in Al-Oula stations soon.

Thank you Ali.

Humm… What can i say about this restaurant? Ok lets begin, i’ve been in love with this restaurant for almost 7 years, Usually i go to this restaurants with my friends Ali & Abdullah “because they introduced me to this 7 years ago” its a tiny place with only 4 plastic tables and each table will hold 2-3 as maximum chairs.

The appetizers are the following:

– Iranian Bread.

– Lemon, cucumber, fresh onion and tomato.

– Homos “they only serve homos” no for motabal.

As for the grilles they serve:

– Tekka.

– Kabab.

– Hearts ” Yes now i can eat them! thanx for my brothers in law specially 9K2HN”.

– Sheesh tawooq.

Finally, its easily takes 5/5 because of very very very quick service moreover for their low prices .. takhayelaw each “seekh” will cost you 100 fils o 3alaik le7sab 🙂

My thanks goes this time for both of you Ali & Abdullah

UPDATE:

I got couple of emails telling me to add the address So here is it:

Its in Hawali behind Al Negra complex and their number is: 2659620

Yesterday Mom wanted me to take her to the movie Jodhaa Akbar, so I did a little search and found out that its only showing in 2 theaters, The Avenues’ and Al-Fanar’s. We decided to go on Monday (3alashan kel el 3ayla etkon mawjoda wenroo7).

I forgot that the price is reduced to KD1.5 per ticket on Monday only. gelt wala wanasa ashwa ena gedarna enroo7 yoom el athnain.. Now this really surprised me:

Al-Fanar:

Avenues:

All the shows are FULL!

The movie is being shown for more than 1 week in Cinescape, The question is who’s going to the cinemas in week days? (6ab ana saye3 o 7adaratkom? 😛 )

I’m looking forward to seeing her in concert. Its going to be a short trip though, I’m going on the 5th and returning on the 6th!

Thanks for getting the tickets, loco. 🙂

I was hungry and the guy from KFC told me why not try their new wrap sandwich. I foolishly fell for it.

Its a star shaped wrap sandwich. It tasted like chicken, twister sauce, marinara sauce, beans (don’t ask), lots of cheese, tortilla chips… lots of flavors came together to form this disgusting sandwich. Oh and it was soggy too! Just the way I like it 😡

Today our driver gave ANM the new traffic laws. Not really new laws, but more like a list of penalties if you break one of the laws, which I found really good if they were applied (ya3ni mako was6a. bas mathen). the most intersting one i found:

Driving without a license will cost you KD500 PLUS 3 to 6 months in jail! (sij khooosh 3eqaab law 6abegooh)

You can click on the picture above to view a bigger version.

Thanks to ANM and Rajoo (our driver) for providing table. 🙂

The House of ALLAH in Makkah. The Kaa’ba is covered by a black cloth known as ‘Kiswa’, which is produced & changed every year.

Special factory designed for the making of Kiswa in Makkah. It costs approx. SR 17million.

The cloth is made of 670kgs of silver dyed black, about 120kgs of pure gold & 50kgs of silver used in writing the Qur’anic verses over the cloth.

The total area of the cloth is 658sqr meter.

Thanks INM.

Chocolate-Pencils is the product of a collaboration pairing Japanese architect and designer Oki Sato with patissier (and Iron Chef champion) Tsujiguchi Hironobu, the man behind Tokyo’s boutique dessert shops Mont St. Claire and Le Chocolat de H. Subtle tableware effectively displays the gourmet chocolate and includes a special “pencil sharpener” for grating over a dessert. The pencils operate under the concept that shavings, which are generally regarded as a waste product, are now the main focus.

It’s confirmed: Apple’s next event is scheduled for March 6th, next Thursday. It’ll be a Town Hall event; obviously new MacBooks and MacBook Pros aren’t to be expected, but the unambiguous “iPhone software roadmap” Time will tell us 😛
