We just wantd to thank all of our readers for their support! Guys in less than 5 months we achieved around 24,000 reader/month. if you look at the chart above you can see that in the past 2 months, each month doubled the previous one which is amazing considering we’re only 5 months old! *throws confetti*

Again Me & Yousef would like to thank you a lot! 😀

Today me & my wife decided to go to Villa Moda Al-Manshar which is located in Al-Manshar mall in Fahaheel.

Its located at the end of the mall which is near Rotana Hotel.

Once i got in i grabbed my camera and started taking pictures. But suddenly they came to me and asked me to turn it off! So, all the pics below are spy pics 😛 Sorry if they are not clear enough 😛

There is a flower section for a shop called Cozy Corner at the entrance.

If you can see above, basically the place consists of circles and each circle got its own brand. One of the circles is for DIGITS shop (its an apple computer shop).

The shop also got a second floor which is also for ladies! 🙁

There is a cafe too!

I just want to mention that this branch seems to be a little bit different from the other branches, it doesn’t have the major brands such as Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada or even Marni. But it’s worth going.

When I first got married, about a year ago, I went to the Gulf Bank and asked them about getting an extra card for my K-Net account so that i can give it to my wife just in case anything happens. Their answer was NO! its not possible. I even took it the to the branch manager there and asked him, his answer was “even if I accept ur request the system will auto refuse and cancel it!”

I went back home and forgot about it. After a few months i noticed that my Card’s letters & number were unidentifiable so i decided to go to the bank and ask them to get a new card. They wanted me to give them the old one so they can proceed with the request, I suggested that I keep mine until I get the new one.

Anyway, they agreed. After a few days they called and told me to come and collect my new card, so, I went there to get it…. they did NOT ask about my old one…. Aaaaaand Guess what!?!? BOTH cards now are working! So much for the system auto refusing my card!!!

I’m sick again 🙂 the 3rd time in less than 50 days. The first time i got sick i was like, yeah, maybe its weather changes and me traveling back to Kuwait from Dubai.. you know how it is when you travel? But then when i got sick the second time, only 3 weeks after i got better, i thought, hmm maybe i should get a doctor’s opinion? a real “ear, nose and throat” doctor. but as the days went by, and the antibiotics kicking in, it all seemed nice and dandy again.. why go to a doctor?

Who thinks of going to the doctor when there are no immediate pain?

But 3 days ago, less than a week from concluding my sickness with my 2nd antibiotics course, it came back, that damn virus mutant thing came back!!!

Anyway, I’m going to a real doctor on sunday, i got an appointment. and I’m gonna end this tonsils thing once and for all.

Its weird when you get sick and one of your friends get really mad coz you can’t go out with him.. I told him I’m sick and can’t even get out of bed, yet he’s so angry and think I’m not giving a good enough excuse… I’m sure he’s reading this now. 😛

I never knew Bahrain had started a low cost airlines. Their fleet consists of 2 airplanes, a boeing 737 and an airbus A320.

“Bahrain Air, the first privately owned Premium Low Priced Carrier (PLPC), started operations on 3rd. February 2008 using modern Airbus “A320″ fleet, operates from Bahrain to Alexandria, Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait and Mashad. By April 2008 the destinations will be extended to include Dhaka in Bangladesh”

Currently there are no routes to Kuwait. but there will be in the future.

Do you know that in the past 5 years 5 new airlines started their operations in the gulf region alone?

In 2003, Air Arabia & Etihad Airways. Jazeera Airways in 2005 And in 2007 Bahrain Air. And I think somewhere in 2008 we will get Alwataniya Airways. Its getting a bit too competitive. (7i6 7ailhom bainhom)

Thanks INM.

BahrainAir

Update:
Apparently there are more and more carriers popping up every day 😛 Mr. Solutions told us in his comment that Dubai has just annouced their own verion of low cost carriers! read more about it Here.

Le Pain Quotidien, to many its just another cafe, But to me, its the home of my favorite egg benedict! 😀 Whenever I’m in the mood for a good breakfast and I happen to be able to get up in time, I go there and have one of the best breakfasts in Kuwait.

Last thursday was a great day for having breakfasts outdoors. We went to Le Pain Quotidien, Marina Crescent’s Branch. The weather was amazing, The weekend was starting early & I was really craving PQ! and the food was outstanding! as usual.

Omelette With Kashkawan Cheese

Egg Benedict

Waffles

One thing was off that day, their service. they were not organized and very.. disoriented? The waiters were not concentrating even when taking our orders! they’re always attentive and very professional but for some reason they weren’t that day.

The project is located at the northern part of Kuwait on Khour Al Subiyah overlooking the Bubiyan Island.

The beach front extends to about 500 meters and is regarded as a shallow water area with a high percentage of deposits due to its proximity to the Shatt Al-Arab Delta.

The resort components are a hotel with 100 double-rooms, a resort with 63 chalets, various cafes and restaurants, a Spa health club and marina complex for servicing private and rental boats of sea-bound visitors.

Thank you Ali.

Today me, Ali and Abdullah were going for dinner at Ruby Tuesday. Just before we were there Ali noticed this new building which, at first, he thought was an Indian restaurant called Muhraja Palace.

This Restaurant is circle shaped and divided into two sections, 2 half circles, One is Fish Market (not related to the one near Marina Mall, and the other is Fusion.

Fish Market is a sea food restaurant and Fusion i think is either Japanese or Chinese. Both restaurants are owned by Americana. Both are going to be officially open in 15 days.

As you can see, the decoration must’ve costed them a small fortune! no i take it back, i think it costed them a HUGE fortune! You can see there are a fish tanks all over the place.

Here is the entrance for both restaurants.

Here is a part of Fish market restaurant. As you can see there are a lot of fish tanks. I think they’re there so u can choose the fish you’d like to eat and they cook it for you.

Thank You Abdullah for letting me use your mobile camera and thanks Ali for asking the employees all these quesion, which proved to be very helpful to this post 😀

I like t when it comes to competition. This is yet another site that share the same concept as 6alabat.com. But this one is exclusive to Crown Plaza and Holiday Inn’s restaurants.

From the site:

ieatonline.com is an online site which is operated by Crowne Plaza Kuwait. ieatonline.com is easy to remember & you can order online from the detailed menus of the international cuisines without visiting or calling to your favourite restaurant. Now you can enjoy the food in your home with your family & friends.

The delivery fees are 400 fils/order. 6alabat.com fees are 200 fils/order. I think they should reconsider their pricing.

HERE is their link.

I just got off the phone with NBK. they cancelled my Visa card coz “I have no stable source of income.” I don’t blame them, its the central bank’s rules (i used the word central twice in one day.. Yipppeee!). Anway, I began thinking of all the lovely times i spent with my credit card.. when it hit me!! I have money in there! a week or so ago i wanted to buy my laptop off apple.com so I went and put 800 kd in my credit card. and now its cancelled! Grrr

The guy from NBK put me on hold for a total time of 10 minutes and finally came back to tell me that I should go to my branch, take a credit card statement then go to NBK’s main branch, give them the statement and ask for a refund “it should take around 3 days from the day you ask for the refund.” And i should do all that on sunday coz they’re closed for the holiday today & the whole weekend.

I’m hating NBK at the moment.

My mother woke me up around 11:30 and gave me a red piece of paper with some weird words scribbled down on it. as i looked harder, squeezing all of my eye powers just to focus on this little paper, i read managed to read words like: delivered, postal service, my name..

I didn’t get it, i was half asleep so i can’t be blamed. but then Mom said “I think its concerning your laptop.” thats when i got fully awake! my laptop is here!!! turned out no, its not here. the ministry of whatever just sent me a notice to come and pick my laptop “or it will be returned to it’s source after 10 days.”

I sprung to my feet, went downstairs and asked our cook, i wanted more info. he said that a guy came, gave him this piece of paper and told him “let Yousef come see us and collect his package after 5 days.” HA! 5 days?! ILWAISH?!

I barely brushed my teeth and went to Kifan Central. after struggling to find the right counter, i finally managed to get my laptop just 1.5 minutes before their closing time. The guy asked me why did i bother come in such a hurry? I said “i paid a lot to get it in time and i didn’t want to waste the weekend with “what ifs” thoughts).

I didn’t pay a single dime for tax 😀 (and that my friends, made my week!).
