Kuwait Oil Company decided to build an artificial oasis on the top of the second largest field in the world and call it Burgan Oasis. It’s a small piece of land that looks like Kuwait’s map, surrounded by water, and it will have a meeting room, a dewaniya a kitchen and bathrooms. Unfortunately its restricted to KOC’s employees only.

I was just talking to an OSN sales person over the phone and he told me that they’ll send each OSN subscriber a decoder (satellite receiver with no slot for a card). He said that it’s a gift so you could enjoy the channels in HD format.

Can this decoder affect tv piracy?

Dr Haya Al Omar has something to say to you about Autism:

What is autism?

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. People with autism have difficulties with everyday social interaction.

International Autism Day is the 2nd of April. This day was recognized by the united nations as an “International Autism day” since 2008.

• The Autism Marathon was one of the events that took place on march this year to help support Autism. This was organized by Kuwait Center for Autism, Kuwait Autism Society and Reach Volunteer group.
• This year we will also have a booth to distribute free ” Reach Autism ” ribbons and booklets regarding autism in 360 mall and marina mall.
• You can also support Autism by buying Awareness products on line through   http://hadeyastation.com where all proceeds will go to Autism children in kuwait.
• The November Bakery will be supporting Autism as well, so pass by the bakery..

and of course join Reach group on Facebook too.

I first ate at Abou Al Sid restaurant (مطعم أبو السيد) in Sharm AlSeikh last year and it was the first time I experience a tasty egyptian cooking. Usually egyptian food (no offense) is all about quantity and no quality, Greasy food without a real identity (I’ve been to cairo a couple of times and I assure you I tried the best places. They all sucked. Rubber tastes better than their best dishes). But my perception changed when I tried ABou AL Sid in Sharm AlSheikh. I loved the food! and the restaurant’s ambience and overall feel was unique too Read the rest of this entry »

YO! Sushi has just opened in 360° mall. I was there today and noticed that it was more than half full. Good thing considering it’s other branch in Marina mall wasn’t doing so good the last time I checked (is that one still open?)

We didn’t eat there, we ate at Wagamama instead, but the waiter told us that they will offer a delivery option soon, in less than a month, and that they will deliver to neighboring areas at first. I asked about Mishref and he said yes “Mishref, Bayan, Jabriya, Qurtuba, Surra..etc.”

I’m not a fan of Japanese food but I know that I have to try this one out, regardless of how weird I’d feel picking food I didn’t order outta of that revolving bar.

Just found out that Bread Talk now opened in Mishref’s co-op.

Thanks ANM

Soon there will be wedding hall in Mishref next to NBK’s branch. I don’t think this is the perfect location for it.

Tea Forte is available at The Nut Tree in Baitak tower. Tea Forte is a well known brand (if there was ever such a thing as a high end tea, it is this) I thought it was only available at Tea Art shop in AlMuthanna. Both shops are for the same owner.

All NBK branches employees have this badge on and it’s about their salary transfer offer. Transfer your salary and get a chance to win KD5000. 8 winners weekly.

P.S. Guys don’t forget to give your friends who work at NBK a hard time for turning into walking ads. We’re doing our best with ours 😛

Update:

And this is a shirt for the same offer to go along with the badges. Not sure though who is supposed to wear it, but I’m guessing it’s for employees at the NBK kiosks in malls.

Just came from Aberdeen, finally home… sweet home.

I went for the first time yesterday and I loved it. It has this beautiful Kuwaiti energy all around it and unlike any of the other exhibitions I attended, all of the attending people are actually happy to be there. The attendants were from all age groups, old men and women on wheelchairs and walking sticks, and girls all in their best Eid attires.

The booths were all nicely set. Lots of creative ideas, and some not so creative ones. Lots of maids doing their backstage work.. well don’t get me wrong, lots and lots of booths were run by their Kuwaiti owners, but some of them were a joke, but they were little and far in between.

I’m proud of them. I couldn’t take many pictures coz there were lots of people on thursday and it was hard to take pictures.

½ cream milk was nice enough share some of the pictures he took while at P2Bk today. These are some random pictures of the place and the booths.
