Ok, some of you might already know how to use their Bluetooth to receive files, I didn’t, till yesterday, so this post might help some of you out. Here we go:

If you’re receiving a file through your BB’s bluetooth, then you should go to the Media gallery in your BB’s menu, press the option button, then choose ‘receive using bluetooth’ from the menu. Let someone send you a file and Voila!

The file should be found in it’s respective folder; images in the pictures folder, ringtones in the music folder.. and so on.

Thanks loco

My friend sent me this copy of the, supposedly, first citizenship certificate ever created in Kuwait, It’s of the late Abdullah AlMudhaf.

The central bank of Kuwait announced to the local banks of Kuwait it’s approval on the new system of working hours, which is from 8am to 3:30pm with no breaks (samta wa7da), and no evening shift. However, the banks are allowed to have some of it’s branches open for an evening shift.

The new working hours will be applied in all of the local banks with no exception.

Yay for those who work at branches, woe for the rest of us.

My friend was at the british embassy yesterday getting an eta for Canada from uk, replacing his expired one. He noticed that the prices written on the application he got 2 weeks ago differs, very much, from the prices they’re charging now.

They used to charge:

KD28 for a 6 months visa.
KD88 for 1 up to 10 years.

And now:

KD29 for a 6 months visa.
KD92 1-2 years visa.
KD172 for a 5 years visa.
KD215 for a 10 years.

Quite a big jump don’t you think?? especially at a time where their discounts and hunger for tourist are at peak…

Thanks HKR

I asked my friends this question and NONE of them gave me the 100% correct answer. And yes there is only ONE single right answer, and I came up with it!

The question is:

(Religious logic aside) Is it possible to invent a time machine? and your proof?

(rab3y ily i3arfon iljawab.. khamoosh!)

The post will be updated later with the correct answer 🙂

UPDATE: The Answer:

We got 2 right replies for the above questions and they were Musaed’s and dev’s 🙂

The answer would be: If it was ever possible to invent the time machine any time in the future, then we’d see people visit us from the future right now. Since we don’t have visitors from the future, then this machine won’t be invented, not even 10,000 years from now. And That my friends is how it’s answered! 😛

We got 3 new flavors from KDD. The Afandi which according to bo9ale7 is “ok i just tasted the juice. well you get the afandy flavor after like 5 seconds. + feeh eshwayat mrooora (a bit bitter)”.

And we have the Cranberry and Pomegranate flavors which we posted yesterday. Good new additions!

Ansam checked their website and found 2 more new flavors in addition to 3 mentioned above: Apple & elderflower, and Piña colada.

Thanks Bo9ale7 & Ansam

Jazeera airways have an offer where you can book 2 tickets for the price of 1 on all of its destinations. Its a very good offer and we were thinking of going to Sharm this weekend, but unfortunately the offer is for flights between 19th of april and 31st of May. Plans scrapped.

The offer ends tomorrow. Hatha ana balla’3t.

Jazeera Airways

I didn’t know KDD had Pomegranate Juice so I’m guessing this is new.

Thanks Bo9ale7

Update By Mishary:

Here is another flavor which is Cranberry.

Thanks INM

And the winner is… Dalloo3at Gasr el3adil! 😛

I haven’t been to the movies in a long time and I wished not to go back to the movies unless it’s a spectacular one. Unfortunately fate had decided that I go to Fast and Furious. A movie for people with no functioning brain cells (no offense). Its an action movie with lots of fast cars and furious people.

There are your typical characters: the good guy, the bad guy, and the guy who’s bad but then good at heart.. they all love to drive fast, and in order to save the country from a drug lord and another shipment of drugs, they have to drive fast and push their cars to the limit.

The movie is stupid and I’m sorry for the time I wasted watching it.

Thanks Taymoor

I should’ve posted this 3 days ago when my friend bo9ale7 first told me about this Diving center. My friend is totally obsessed with every thing adventurous, not that this thing is risky, well it is but thats beside the point. He took classes and started diving (Do you remember the Swimming with the sharks post?) and ever since all we hear is ‘Bo9ale7 na6ir ilsummer’ ‘bo9ale7 went to sharm alshaikh to dive in the red sea’. I think, and most of our friends also think that bo9ale7 was a mizligana in another life 😛

Anyway. So Bubbles diving center are offering scuba diving trips and training courses to whoever is interested. They’re qualified to train the beginners all the way to the instructors. They’ve begun registering students for the diving courses and the first of their courses will start on the 3rd of May.

For more information call 24835228 or 99989020/30. You can also check out their forum at Bubbles Diving.

Um-mit3ib and 4thringroad have already posted about Bubbles diving center.

Thanks bo9ale7

My friend and my roommate in college, who is a football fanatic, who made me cringe every time I hear the words ‘champions league,’ who hogged the TV every tuesday and wednesday to watch football matches, finally made the right decision and started a blog along with his friends dedicated solely to nothing else but.. Football!

For you all football fanatics Football Directa is the place to visit when you’re looking for news about your favorite team. Their site is very alive with updates around the hour with the kind of news you crave.

Drop by and check it out: FootBall Directa. It’ll be added to our blog roll as well.

I’ve been hearing about this spa for a long time from friends, and as I was telling my friends this weekend that I needed a massage and that I probably will go to The Day Spa, which is my favorite massage place in all O the land, my friend Ban1 told me, for the 10th time, that I should consider going to the one in crown plaza hotel. He said that it is the best place in Kuwait. So, as a massage fan and more importantly as a blogger looking for good material for you readers, I went to Aquatonic Spa and took my camera with me.

Magic Planet just opened in the Avenues phase II. There are arcades section, a couple of rides, bowling isles, billiard tables, wall climbing “in a shape of palm trees”, many booths and stuff.

The place is big and spacious, but according to my friend, it’s a bit too spacious (empty) and it feels like they’re going to fill it with more rides and stuff.

Thanks HBZ

Chicken Nugget is a term used to describe the westernized Kuwaitis (dark from the outside, white from the inside) you know the kind, you’ve heard them talk around you with that perfect accent, you hated them for it, and you wished you could speak like them.. but lets face it ya3ny.. we, as in we who studied in public schools and started learning english at 13 and used to sing Old Mcdonalds in english classes at the age of 14 and 13 (the shame!) won’t ever be able to speak like them.. no matter how we tried to loose the Rs and no matter how hard we tried to go easy on the Ts & Ps.. It just won’t work.

My cousin, who is partially nuggety was daring me to pronounce “water” the way americans do, and believe it or not, I failed. I tried to sound like him but unfortunately I sounded neither american nor Kuwaiti, it kinda evolved miraculously into an indian accent, every single time I tried.

I don’t wanna digress.. I’m trying to take a jab and accuse the Nuggets of something here. I think the Nuggets like the term Chicken Nugget. I also think that the term was used and made popular in Kuwait by none other than them.. I mean how can “we” the 7abarbash of public schools with our miserable english come up with such a term! Seriously have you heard us say the word NUGGET?

To all the chicken nuggets out there… WE’RE ON TO YOU!
