Zain have reduced their MMS and Video call prices, they’re 50 Fils/MMS and 45 Fils/min for video calls now, however, the calls should be within Zain’s network. I think they are still highly priced.

Just found out that VERSACE has just opened in the Avenues.

Thanks INM

Yesterday INM & ANM were in the Avenues and they found out that another Johnny Rockets has opened in the Avenues mall, in phase two, Its upstairs in the food court.

Even Applebee’s opened there. I’m wondering now what about phase three, will there be a JR III? 😛

Thanks ANM & INM

A picture of Evian’s lakeshore. (yep in HDR 😀 )

We went to Evian and I made sure this time to visit their source of free Evian water. They park their cars infront of this little water fountain and fill up their empty bottles, costing them nothing but the gas money to drive up to this place. which is very near the center of the town anyway.

It doesn’t stop running, 24/7. fisag.

These 2 ladies were there filling their bottles. I asked and they didn’t mind me taking pictures.

Me, pouring and refilling the bottle a hundred times 😀 and it was COLD! just the way I hate it.. makes my teeth ache.

This is the Evian water museum.

Samples of the bottles old and new and their entire collection of Evian products.

Remember my post about which car should I rent for my driver? Most of you said to go with the Nissan Altima, so after reading your comments i went ahead to A’ayan and rented it for 2 years with an offer of KD99 initial deposit (it was KD250 before) and a monthly payment of KD125. Today me and INM went to Al-Babtain and picked up it. I can say from the first ride it was so smooth! thanks guys for helping me decide.

When we were there we noticed also a Nissan GT-R in red color they are selling it for around KD30,000.

Thank you dear readers for helping me out this time. 🙂

After moving our blog to WordPress.org now me and Yousef have the full advantage of our blog, so now we’re thinking of redesigning our blog in a professional way (we don’t like these downloadable themes) we want our blog to reflect our personality, So does anyone know a good company/person that do these graphical designs? and one more thing guys we want from you to gives us some ideas?!

Yesterday i was shocked, i found out that Ahmad was an Apple user once, long time ago. he was using an OS called Apple II, According to Ahmad, Apple’s first OS was Apple I then they updated it to Apple II (which he used back then) Bs 7asafa he went back to the dark side again.. to windows 🙁 yalla ma3alaih marada be3aref 6ereej el saa7 inshalla 😛

I found out some magazines about the Apple II OS which Ahmad read. they were issued on 1987 which is almost 21 years ago! 🙂

My thanks this times goes to Labeeba.

Just got an email from one of our readers telling that Villa Moda will starts its annual sale on Saturday 14-June with 50% discounts.

I’m just wondering how crowded it will be there 🙂

Anyway thanks to ShoOoSh

UPDATE:

I was just reading Mark’s blog and turns out he’s also writing about it.

Today we were discussing this issue in my father’s in law house, yes how come our airport got a duty free shops and our country doesn’t apply taxes?! i went to Wikipedia and double checked “Duty free” definition and came out with this:

Duty Free shops: Duty-free shops (or stores) are retail outlets that do not apply local or national taxes and duties.

Can anyone clarify this to me?!

Few days ago we were in our Co-op, and since my wife is a labna fan she always searches for a new type/kind of labna, so this time she found this thing, which we thought was unique in design and it attracted us coz as I was just saying to my wife that this is a smart design that put and end to the need of spoons. fakka!

So today i was preparing my sandwich before i get to my work, with the first bite of it i felt like “damn its so rich/heavy! let me try another bite.” I went ahead bs 7asait la’a fee shay ghala6!? so i took the thing and read it… its a mayonaise with a labna flavor! 7araaam 3alaikom! Labna 3ad !? It shocked me.

We went to Chamonix yesterday. There was lots of clouds everywhere so I couldn’t really take pictures of the mountains out there, Mont Blanc was there but we couldn’t see it. Mont Blanc’s peak (4,807 m) is the highest peak in all of western europe. I’ll leave you with the pictures now. 🙂

It’s been raining nonstop here for a while. My immune system ran as hard and as long as it could, trying to take the cold weather, the rain and the fatigue of sleeping less than usual, and then finally, the day before yesterday, it gave up!

All day yesterday I was either asleep or trying hard to fall back asleep. Sleeping all day surely did its magic, coz I woke up today feeling good as new. I think the amount I slept yesterday really helped.

Yes they lowered their fees to 100 fils when your using any of their ATM machines, They used to be 200 fils or 150 fils depends on the bank that your dealing with but now it will be the same at any bank ATM which is good thing.

Today we decided to have our lunch at Al-mayas restaurant. I went there with my wife, 9K2HN and Labeba. This time we decided to take my family there.

So we went ahead and ordered our appetizers (mazaat). We ordered 3arayes (basically its a round bread, cut in quarters with meat mixed in with some spices) 🙂

Found this Fruit/vegetable in our co-op .. any one knows what is it? sweet? salty?

Thanks INM

Today i got a phone call from 9K2HN telling me that Amex now accepts online payments! Yes finally! i did login to my account and found this:

As you can see above they are accepting K-Net for Kuwait as an option, i didnt try it yet but according to 9K2HN the exchange rate was something around 0.269 which is fair in my opinion.

Anyway Thanks a lot 9K2HN for this ebsharaaa 😛
