the-bathroom-diaries.jpg

Apparently there is a site dedicated to bathrooms all around the world (no joke). You can check all the bathrooms in your country incase you decided to go when you’re out and far away from home equipped with the bathroom shower panels and other fancy things.

Also, we recommend taking a look at these custom frameless shower screens you can ask this company to help you install and make your house look more elegant.

Currently in Kuwait there are only 3 bathrooms listed. If you know anymore public toilets, you can go ahead and add them (good karma people!) πŸ˜›

From the Site

The Bathroom Diaries is the world’s largest database of restroom locations.Its The largest enterprise of its kind in the world, The Bathroom Diaries was founded and is operated by Mary Ann Racin, an entrepreneur whose professional background is in art, education and international finance. Racin and The Bathroom Diaries have appeared on CNN, the BBC, USA Today and The Washington Post. TechTV has called the website, β€œthe best idea ever.”

Since i got married my internet shopping habbit increased by 400%. Me and my wife order from everything from socks to earrings! Kel shay kel shay! Walah walahnaa 3alla ghorfat el tabdeeel bel ma7alat! So we faced a problem in the past 1.5 year that whenever any site asks us to contact them by phone (and most of them provice 1-800-xxx-xxxx contact number) the problem with these numbers is that you can’t call them from outside the US. So the ONLY solution is Skype, Yes from skype you can call 1-800 even if you are out side the US.

dsc00511.jpg

So i went directly to Amazon and ordered Linksys iPhone.

dsc00512.jpg

Whats in the Box:

  • Base station.
  • iPhone head set.
  • 2 chargers “1 for the head set and one for base station”.
  • Ethernet cable.
  • Manual.
  • Head set battery.
  • Land line cable.

Now let me go through their Pros and Cons:

Pros.

  • It capable of holding the land line and Skype simultaneously.
  • The head set base is separated from the base station.
  • NOW i can call Apple and Amazon by simple touches! “walla fashla takhayelaw aloo gowa amazon!!!” πŸ˜› .

Cons.

  • Low quality build material.
  • The two chargers designed for the US electricity, So you need an adapter to run them in Kuwait.

Final Score 3 out 5 “Due to low build quality & lack of multi voltage chargers.
Thanks to the biggest skype fan, 9K2HN, for telling me about it.

stethoscope_hospital_doctor_1.jpg

It was just another day in one of Kuwait’s busiest hospitals. A woman came in with her 12 year old kid to see the Doctor. The kid’s been sick for 4 days the woman explained. She went on to say that He suffers from headache, Fever, Dizzy, Vomits a lot and has photophobia (can’t tolerate bright light).

The Doctor knew these symptoms, they were the symptoms of meningitis (sa7aya). He knew that the kid should remain in the hospital for further testings immediately.

Doctor: Look, I think your kid is suffering from meningitis. its a very serious disease and he should remain in the hospital so we can do some testings to identify, confirm and start treating the disease.
Mother: aha.. ok we’ll pass by tomorrow.

The Doctor got puzzled with the Mother’s cold reaction. He thought if he took her to another room, sat her down and talked to her enough, she might realize the magnitude of her child’s disease. So he did.

Doctor: You don’t understand. This is serious. We need to take blood samples, do lumbar puncture to extract some spinal fluids.. we’re also going to give him antibiotics through intravenous drip.
Mother: But maybe this is just an allergy and nothing serious.. we have a cat in the house and maybe.. you know..
Doctor: Are you listening to what I’m saying at all? I’m telling you this is not as simple as you might be thinking! He might suffer from several disabilities! He might get paralyzed! or even go into a comma before you know it! Not to mention that its contagious. You’re risking other people’s lives if you don’t let us begin treating him NOW. you’re risking too much, he actually might die!

The Mother looked at her kid

Kid: But Mom you promised me a breakfast in Marina Mall tomorrow!!!
Mother: Doctor, I can’t leave him today, we have a breakfast planned for tomorrow’s morning.. You know what, We might come back tomorrow in the afternoon πŸ˜€

The Doctor lost it

Doctor: Are you stupid? You must be stupid! Slow maybe?? I’m telling you your kid might die!!

Mother got offended and defensive.

Doctor: OK I don’t care! *bi6agag isheelkom* But I won’t be held responsible if anything happens to your kid because of your stupid and careless actions! you’ll sign a form right now stating that you went against the doctor’s orders..

The Mother without any hesitation signed the form, took her kid and went back home.

A few days ago I got a letter from Oula Fuel Marketing Company thanking me for my posts regarding their new machines and their mini mobile shops.

Thanks for the nice gesture. πŸ™‚

I love it when I see new promising companies in Kuwait. Finally we have companies that actually care for their customers and go out of their ways and look into blogs just to see how we’re reacting to their new services! I mean, Thats awesome isn’t it?

Oh, but, don’t get me wrong, I do think the Oula company is great and all, but I still think it needs lots of work to reach its full potential. We’re still waiting for mini markets/stores/groceries, just like the ones in Dubai (in Emirates stations to be specific πŸ˜‰ )

I love Kuwait and I love seeing us breaking the mold and trying to catch up. Inshallah We’re going to get there one day.

P.S. if anyone from Oula and reading this, Can we know more about your future plans?

This post will be dedicated to girls and married girls may be more interested. Today my wife ordered a collection of perfumes designed especially for bed covers and linens.

dsc00518.jpg

The cool part of this is, you can choose any favorite perfume you like such as M7, Coco Chanel, Stella, Cinema..ect. and transfer it to these kind of perfumes.

dsc00520.jpg

They have a long list of famous perfumes you can choose from. They even make a high-concentration perfumes “Eau de parfum“, even body lotions, if you wish.

My wife let me smell them and esara7a they were like the REAL ones! and when it comes to the price, I think they’re very reasonably priced, each one will cost you KD1.5 and there will be an extra KD2 for delivery.

Finally if you wish to order just call 6618520.

genpets3.jpg

A couple of days ago I read on the internet about the controversy Genpets has created when they announced and released their new children doll/pet line. I read into it. The movie child’s play (AKA Chucky) came to mind as I read more about this THING.

genpets2.jpg

From the Site

Bio-Genica is a Bioengineering Company that has combined, and modified existing DNA to create the Genpets lineup. Genpets have blood, bones, and muscle; they will bleed if you cut them, and die if mistreated just like any other animal. The electronic components are only in the packages and are for basic life support, outside of the packages the Genpets are wholly organic.

genpets.jpg

Its a living organic Thing, or a pet as they refer to it, You buy it for your children. And they , the Pets, “wake up” when you open the packaging. They recognize the first face they see and get attached to it. They Live up to 1 or 3 years, depends on the type of animal you buy.

They have feelings and emotions. they don’t scream when you cut them because they lack complex vocal cords. They do however produce different kind of noises. Here watch this VIDEO.

I’m beyond freaked out.

Thanks blasha for providing the video & bringing this up πŸ™‚

LINK

EDIT: Oppppss!

Turned out the whole thing is fake and was a result of an artist imagination as to what would come out of real DNA and Bioengineering experiments with pets. Thanks Z for clearing it up.

From the Artist behind this idea:

To dismiss Genpets as a ‘hoax’ would be to completely miss the point. The spirit of art is to create an illusion. Genpets is designed ‘as is’ to help the viewer ponder the idea a bit longer.

I’m sick again. Not more than a month ago I was sick with inflamed tonsils (lowaz), fever and a flu. and now, its all back again with a vengeance.

I’m not answering my phone since yesterday coz i’m having difficulty speaking. so I’ve been sending sms’s after each miscall saying “i can’t talk coz i’m sick and my tonsils (bal3eemy warma) are inflamed at the moment. we talk later”

As weird as it may sound, i find whoever calls me after reading that sms is weirder! I mean, I told you I can’t answer! why are you calling me back?? what should I do to get through to you ❓

I know! I should either come after you (when I get better inshallah) and hunt you down OR I pray that a wall falls and You just happen to be under it. πŸ‘Ώ

Remember the coconut I bought the other day? I posted about it? Today i decided to cut it open by myself. (Rajoo used to cut it for me before) so, I went to the kitchen, took my “sa6oor” (a big knife) i don’t know it’s name in English and I started hammering it, and kept hammering, hammering and hammering! For about 10 mins!

THE RESULT:NOTHING CHANGED!!

Guys how do you crack it open?? ThankGod I’m not in a secluded island!

I got this weird email when i was checking my emails:

β€œI am writing from the hospital with my computer lap top, therefore this mail is very urgent as you can see that I am going home.

I was told by the doctor that I was poisoned and has got my liver damaged and can only live for some months. I have ($10.7 Million USD) with a storage house in Madrid Spain.

I will want you to help me collect this money and give it to the poor people. I have set aside only 30 Percent for you and for your time.

I will be going for operation in few days so please pray for me for survival but on the other hand in case of anything all I need is your sincere assistance I do not need any financial help from you because I have enough and if money can save me I also have enough but life comes from the Most High God as I don’t know what will happen to me in the next few hours.

Reply me earliest for more details to my email address: xxxxxx@yahoo.es May God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish.

Best Regards,

Mr. Siamak Parhizkari”

Today i went with Abdullah and Ali for dinner and then i decided to buy a coconut! (don’t ask!). I like to eat fresh coconut. So my friends suggested to go to souq sharq coz we were near by.

00dsc00268.jpg

Before heading to the vegetable market we decided to take a look at the fish market, look around & get some pics.

dsc00270.jpg

It was around 10:00 pm and the market was so crowded with people!

dsc00275.jpg

After we were done going through every fish, we went to the vegetable market and started searching for MY COCONUT πŸ˜€

dsc00280.jpg

Me and Ali searched every shop! The weird thing was whenever we asked anyone about them, the answer was like “Are you kidding? Men sejkom intaw yayeen edawroon ehny coconut??”

dsc00283.jpg

Finally some one heard us and told us its available in Sultan Center.

This is not bread its Baqsam! πŸ˜›
