They called him and informed him that he won! He won a discount card and should come to claim his prize. He went and sat through an hour of questioning, which was the only thing he had to do in order to get that discount card. After answering the questions for an hour, they told him that his card should be ready in 3 days.

He’s been calling them for 3 weeks now, they’re either ignoring his calls, promise to call back and never do or put him on hold and never return. They scammed him. And you know whats funny? They just called him on his other mobile number, and without knowing it was him, told him that he just won a prize and should come by!

So is it Sunsoon or Sun seven?! I say shoot the translator and then drop the seven and keep the soon. coz with the seven the name means nothing whereas with the soon, it kinda means something…… Am I right or what? 😛

“The Mobile has been switched off or out of the coverage area……” Yep ^Thats him!

Thanks Taymoor

Since we’re in day 1 of Ramadan, HNM wants to share this TV shows/programs table which she made especially for the Kuwaiti/Khaleeji shows (men kethorhoom man7afeth). The programs start from 4:30PM all the way to 1:30AM.

P.S.: These aren’t ALL the shows, These are the ones she’s intersted in alone.. Allah e3enaa benshoof kel hathaaa 🙂

Anyway thanks to HNM

It was just announced on Alwatan Tv, and AlRai Tv that the first day of Ramadan will be, in Kuwait, on Monday, september 1st. On behalf of me and Mishary, Mbarak Alaikum AlShahar 🙂

Edit: Mishary beat me to it, but I refuse to delete this post 😛

This year’s Ramadan marks the 29th anniversary for Alroudan’s tournament, a yearly Ramadanian football tournament. And this time, according to a friend of mine, they will have many former football champions among the honor guests list. I’ll mention 4 of the most famous ones:

• Bebeto.
• Fernando Hierro.
• Rui Costa.
• Carlos Valderrama.

Plus other GCC national teams’ champions.

The tournament’s Official Site.

The other day Abdullah was in Bayan Co-Op and he found this, i wont say more about it, but do they think we are that dump?! me7na zaydeen las3aar bas ha ?! benqalel el kameya! (The price stays the same but the amount is less.)

Can anyone explain this?

I’ll keep you with the rest of the pics.

Remember the Group Hug post I made some weeks ago? well, Pink Girl just made a post saying she found the salt & pepper shakers in Kuwait, in soug almahameed, and they’re selling them for 450 fils only. Allah ydeem ilrekh9 😛

Check out her post, HERE, for more info.

In the past 4 days my internet was SO SLOW! I cant even write a post. So as usual I called 107 and they kept me waiting for almost 20 min. Ok o ba3dain ?! what do you think the solution was? Take your sim card from the router, restart it and wait 10 mins. (( for those who dont know Zain’s its a normal procedure with ANY PROBLEM)) So, I waited 10 min with no sucsses. I called again and made a complaint. Until now the problem isn’t solved. And the guys there keep sayin ‘Zain Thanks Your Call!’ thanks for what?! Don’t thank me! solve my problem! Sij I’m annoyed at them!

I was recommended this Kuwaiti version of Youtube by a friend of mine last weekened. It isn’t an old site, it debuted according to them on march of this year. I’m loving it. It got full length movies and is somehow, to me, faster than youtube.. which is weird.

The people behind the site are doing a great job. Check it out, LINK.

Thanks Sulaiman.

The billboard says “Anticipate the surprise.”

Since we’re in the “Back To School” season, i think this site will help many of you guys. Its basically an online store that specialized in any stationaries and office requirements, from pencils all the way to school bags and everything else. It deliver too.

Yesterday I was watching Funoon channel and I found out that Funoon is
adding a new channel called Funoon PLUS. I Know that each “plus” channel means a repeating channel. But I also know that Funoon repeats its programs a lot in one day. (e3ada X e3ada) so why are they adding a new channel for that?

Forgive me if this is old news, but I saw Al Kalha restaurant the other day in Mishref’s international fair ground (arth alma3areth). Its a palestinian (or Jordanian, not sure) restaurant. My roommate back in the UAE was a Kalha addict, he loved their falafels.

Their Phone # 5390043.

About 2 weeks ago, when I was in france, I found out that we were having ummawash o hasho rebyan for dinner. I wasn’t really surprised, coz that day it was cloudy and raining, and Kuwaitis can’t be Kuwaitis if they do not eat ummawash or m3addas when its raining! its an unwritten rule.

I asked about the history of this Kuwaiti dish and learned the following:

Kuwaitis back in the day didn’t have refrigerators and they had to be creative and mix it up a bit when it came to cooking. They ate mostly grains with rice, dal (3adas) with rice and other stuff. Sheep were available and was a step up from plain rice, or rice with dal and fish dishes. Chickens weren’t widely available as it is now, chickens were expensive and most of the time a chicken dish would be cooked only for a sick person within the family (morale boost :P). In the summer they had all sort of sea food: Fish, Shrimps, Crabs and so on. But in the winter it was harder, and I think more expensive for people to get fishes and sea food in general, and thats why they started drying fishes and shrimps. The dried shrimps proved to be more resilient to the invention of refrigerators, whereas dried fishes are no where to be found on the Kuwaiti menus (and thank God for that! imagine coming home from work to find an ugly dried fish on the table..). Roberts Technology Group made it possible to preserve some of the products due to correct technology of packaging and wrapping.

Inspiration for this post.

Update:
Apparently the Kuwaiti menu have atleast one dish of dried fish, that is Marag Khobba6. I have never heard of it.

We went to the chalet today and saw this on the side of the road leading to Alkhiran/Alzour area. The camel was dead and the car was very badly damaged. I took many pictures but when I saw them on the laptop’s screen they were very graphic. Poor animal. Attorney Amy Witherite would have a field day with this one! I hope the driver isn’t badly hurt.

These are the new numbers effective on october. From the picture it shows that Zain numbers will begin with a 9, Wataniya with a 6, 2 for the landlines and Commercial lines will begin with 1.

Thanks Abdullah

We just got an email with a picture confirming a post Mishary did weeks ago about Sephora opening soon in Kuwait. The location is Avenues phase II right in front of Caribou’s Cafe. The place is under construction now but will open soon.

Thanks a lot Om MiMi.
