C’est la vie wrote me an email and raised an interesting issue for those of you who have to pay for loan installments every month.

She said that whenever there is an overtime or a bonus to the salary credited to your bank account before your actual salary is due (even the new 120kd which was credited a week before the salary), the bank starts the process of deducting the loans’ installments believing its your real monthly salary. Leaving you without money until the real salary is due and when the real salary is credited to your account, they deduct the rest of the loan’s installment. What most people fail to realize is that when they do that, the system thinks you were late for the due payment and they then charge you a tiny fee, when in fact you’re not late for the installment, it just, they were a week early. But it’s not the case when you receive myinstantoffer.com code 2019.

She’s talking based on her experience with NBK but she also said that a lot of other banks do this. She believes that a lot of people aren’t aware of this little glitch in the system. “people don’t notice coz its a small amount of money, but if enough people where charged, the amount would be huge.”

Thank you C’est la vie for sharing this with us.

In my melcha days i can briefly say that i went to 99% of Kuwait’s restaurants, one of the discovered restaurant was Tang Chao, I found out about it from my GPS, its basically a Chinese restaurant (By the way i wasn’t a big fan of chinese cuisine).

But after marriage everything changed upside down! Now im so addicted to Chinese restaurants!

Yesterday me, the wifey and INM decided to have our dinner there, So we went there and had our usuals 😛

This is for the crunch 😛

Our favorite dish (Shrimp on toast).

Chicken spring rolls.

Our second favorite dish is chicken sweet & sour.

Garlic fried rice.

As shown above its located in Belajat street in the Holiday Inn Hotel.

Finally it scores a 4/5 due to taste plus reasonable prices. If ur a peacock restaurant fan i think u must try this and compare the taste vs price and reset your fanhood 😛

Today me & my wife went to the chalet and 9K2HN insisted to swim, so i chose the pool instead of the sea since the last time i swam in a pool was in my honey moon, So me, 9K2HN and little J had a lot of fun there.. Now i am tired and want to eat! I think i’m gonna go to Apple bee’s now and have a nice dinner. 😛

It will be opening soon in our co-op.

Thanks INM

This time I won’t translate the whole article, I’ll just post the actual article in its original form and will offer just a summary, a very brief summary, coz i don’t want to leave some of you guys totally out.

Mom basically wrote an article discussing the recent renaming of one of our favorite area names in Kuwait, Al Messila, to a name that belongs to a late member of the royal family. She explains how its not appropriate and that there are people whom are benefiting from this by doing favors to get closer to the big guys. And lastly, she’s suggesting that a street named after that person or a high school would’ve been much more appropriate. Thats the whole idea in short.

I’ve talked to many people and all of them, me included, agreed that no one we know will ever stop using the old beautiful name in favor of the new name. We just think its not right.

I wrote a post around 4 months ago discussing this same issue, read it here. Many other bloggers have wrote about this and I liked this blog’s post the most.

Rumors have been circulating in the media all through last week about this surprise wedding. Now its confirmed, she got married to Nick Cannon, and who’s a better source of confirmation than the big O herself?

To watch today’s episode of Oprah where she and her friends discuss the marriage, Click here.

I knew something would get in my way of seeing Mariah in Dubai. I just knew. Now watch her cancel the show and the promoters refund our money.

Edit:

Just as predicted, the concert got canceled and they’re refunding our money.

Today ANM went to our co-op and found that there is a car-washing service called ProntoWash. I think its a pretty good idea to just park your car, go get some things done and in around 30-40 minutes your car can look shinny and clean!

They also offer:

• Premium hand wash detailing.
• Hand Wax & Polishing.
• Upholstery cleaning & Carpet shampooing.
• Vinyl & Leather conditioning.
• A/C Sanitization.
• Advance Technology: Biodegradable Products.

For more info you can call them 806006

Thanks ANM

One year ago yesterday, a little boy came into this world oblivious to the fact that he’s got the greatest uncle in the world. 😛

The cake tasted good. It’s from Mr Baker. They did a good job and I liked the packaging (cardboard and cellophane tightly wrapped and stapled together). I remember when we were little, Mom used to buy our birthday cakes from a bakery in Nuzha, We tried to remember the shop’s name (its no longer there btw) but couldn’t. Do you remember its name?

We all bought birthday presents for the little guy and when it was time to unwrap the gifts, the boy was in cloud #9 and we ended up opening the gifts without him lol.

This one’s mine

This is Labeba’s

And this is Mom’s

There is also a little message from Mom to the baby boy engraved on the back of the chair 🙂

If you like the chair and want to know more about it then you can click on this post for all the details.

*inhales*

HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAAY HAMMOOOOOOOOOOOODDDYYYYY!!!! 😀

*coughs*

Ladies, I think this will help you alot! instead of throwing or storing your old unwanted bags, this site will help you get rid of them by buying the bags and paying you in cash!

Walla i think its a nice idea. If there is a bag we don’t need anymore why keep it in the closet? 😛

For more info click HERE.

I was told that the tickets are selling out, especially the better ones. Thankfully we, I mean loco, managed to buy us 2 tickets. I hope everything goes well coz there are unsettling rumors going around and canceled appearances on BET, TRL and The View, I just hope she makes it to Dubai.

If you’re planning on getting good tickets, book through the internet coz they’re sold out in most outlets in Dubai.

Tomorrow, the 5th of May, a photography exhibition will be held in Bayt Lothan till the 15th of this month. If I’m not mistaken this is an open invitation for the public. Have anyone gone before? I’m thinking of going.

Thanks INM.

I was in the belajat street with my wife the other day and I noticed some new kind of traffic lights with 3 reds in them and they flash continuously. When I got a bit closer I read a sign nearby that says something like “if you see the flashing lights you should come to a complete stop! coz it means either the Amir is coming in or getting out of his house. They are located in front of the dar salwa palace.

And today i got a phone call from Ali saying the same thing, plus, now they are adding some kind of a bridge (I don’t know what to call it) with some sensors or cameras, I’m not sure what’s their purpose. Ali said that these little bridges are being constructed in Fahahel high way. Any one knows what are these thing for?

Thank you Ali.

If you’re thinking of attending Mariah or Fergie’s concerts in Dubai on the 15th and 16th of May, respectively, then you should sign up for the tickets right now and get on that waitlist they’ve put up. I’m not sure why they’re offering a waitlist option for those events, usually waitlists are for unconfirmed events.. wait a minute.. *Gasps*

Anyway, Here is the LINK, go reserve your tickets and they’ll contact you as soon as they become available for sale.

buona fortuna Y’all 😛

Thanks INM.

Mariah is doing a concert in Dubai in around 2 weeks, on the 15th of May to be specific, followed by a concert by Fergie on the 16th.

“Music fans can enjoy a double helping of diva in Dubai with confirmed concert dates for the world’s number one-selling female artist Mariah Carey and former Black Eyed Peas Fergie.

Universal Music has this week confirmed the world-renowned artists will perform at Dubai Festival City with back-to-back concerts on May 15 and 16.

Promoting her new album, E=MC², which this week hit the top of the Billboard charts, Carey will perform first on Thursday, May 15, followed by Fergie the following evening.

Ticket prices have not yet been announced but are expected to go on sale online at either www.timeouttickets.com or www.showbizme.com from tomorrow.

Rebecca Brianceau, of Universal, Dubai, said the label was extremely excited to be bringing two such wonderful artists to Dubai back-to-back. “We are so excited about the concerts and cannot wait to welcome the ladies to the UAE. We are expecting great things on both nights.”

The venue holds a capacity crowd of 15,000 and tickets for both concerts are expected to sell out in a matter of days.”

As of now, if all went well and nothing serious stood in my way, I’ll be going o chinnnnnnaa il3eeeeeeed! 😀

I came back from the shalaih around 6pm and was exhausted from racing and avoiding cars on Fhaiheel highway. I went directly to my room to find this bag on the ground near the door, I looked at it and didn’t know what it is, I assumed it belonged to Mom so I went to bed and lied down. As I was lying there I kept looking at the bag near the door, it looked familiar, I can read Kodak and I see Ashraf is written there too.. “what a coincidence! I was there just 2 days ago” I thought. Then suddenly my eyes 😯 as it sunk in, and in less than a second I found myself standing over the bag looking down, trying to take a peek at whats inside.

It was gift-wrapped and backpack-shaped! This means that someone read my post and in less than 48 hours bought the bag for me, wrapped it and sent it??? 😀 I wanna know who did this! I took it out and placed it on the bed, there was a little note there, I read it and suddenly felt very ill, then hot, then plain embarrassed.

Someone at Ashraf read my post (I wonder who that might be? 😛 ) and was nice enough to go out of their way and send me this amazing gift.

I love it. And I really really appreciate it 🙂 Thank you so much!!
