Just got these pictures from BBM and they said that Mishref’s GUST caught on fire at 9:30 am this morning .. Does anyone know if it’s true?

Thanks Ali

Update:

Turned out that nothing is wrong with GUST but the Mosque behind it had caught fire. Hopefully they were able to contain it and no one got harmed.

Just received my Arabic Keyboard for my MacBook Air which was as expected .. it fits my mac perfectly! you can see more photos below.

My friend was out today to buy 2 Blackberries, both are exactly the same but had 2 different prices. He was surprised since they were identical, and when he asked the seller for the reason, the seller told him that one of them had a nice BB PIN number. No joke! An extra KD10 for the the phone with the nicer PIN.

P.S. The picture above isn’t mine 🙂

I was planning to go to the cinema with Ali today for Bos bos (Adel Emam’s latest movie), so I went ahead and selected the seats then they transfered me to the K-Net page but guess what?! in the expiration field there is no August .. and my credit card will expire in August! so please KNCC or K-Net staff fix this, and note to Ali, dont worry i managed to reserve the seats.

I got it at the airport right after coming back from my trip, its really good in quality compared to the old one, and it looks good with the smart chip which Yousef’s wrote about it long back Here. And if you notice the GCC logo is attached on the back of the card itself.

Oh and by the way, if your current old ID is still valid, you can’t replace it with the new one due to the amount of people and the long queues.

you can find more details about it Here

A long time ago i used to buy t-shirts from Benetton which at that time cost me around KD20+ per t-shirt and i was thinking till yesterday its a reasonable price but yesterday after finishing our meeting we went to a mall called  Centrestage Mall New Delhi which is the largest mall in Delhi, and i spotted there Benetton so I in and loocked for polos and came up with 4 t-shirts but the problem was what? The price for eachI polo was KD 6.5 ! I didn’t believe it until I asked the seller “are these shirts a replica?” He answered with a smile: No sir we don’t sell any replica’s we’re an official Benetton branch. Then I asked him then why they are so cheap .. what do you think it was the answer?

Couple of days ago me and 9K2HN were searching for some one in Hawali to print in our macs Arabic letters and we found two or three shops which can do it but the problem was the letters can’t hold more than 3 months then it will begin to fade away, so we decided to replace the whole key board with an original Arabic/English key board and we headed directly to iCity and guess what? it cost us only for replacing it KD120 plus KD 10 plus you have to wait 1 month after you pay for it! so in total KD130 plus 1 month of waiting ! so we left iCity and headed to DIGITS and found out thats also the same! but they offer us some thing else which is we can buy it from the net and after we recieved it we can bring it back to them and they gonna install it for KD10 (which iCity refuse to do the same) so we went back home and i was searching for it in the net and i came up with this thing which is a silicon cover which ONLY gonna cost us around KD 8 you can check it out by clicking HERE

Yes, i’ve just signed up in Facebook because most of my family and freinds are there but i dont know what/where to do next? i heard there are some games you can play it online and much more.

I Just got a confirmation a couple of days ago that i will be leaving in a business trip for the company, and I be heading to India. I stay in New Delhi for 4 days then Mumbai for another 4, then back to Kuwait. This is the first time for me traveling to India and I have no information about this country whatsoever. The things that i concluded from my partners are that do not expect from India any thing.. except for a heavy rains, cause the raining season has just begun.

I think this site will be useful coz it can provide you with the name and the phone number for whoever you’re looking for.

From there site:

“With Residential Search you can look for any residential telephone number in Kuwait by typing the person name or any part of it. To be more specific you can select the governorate or area after making your general search”

In order to get the name you have to write the number in Arabic.

Thanks 9K2HN

I don’t know if anyone is still interested in Nokia but in case there is any, just wanted to let you know that Nokia N97 is available in Kuwait with Arabic keypad, for KD220.
